Fiery Lava Engulfs 117 Near Manila
MANILA — (UPI) — Volcanic Mount Taal which had slumbered for 54 years in a lake 35 miles south of Manila erupted today with explosions that hurled a ball of fire nearly two miles high. Hundreds were feared dead.
Governor Feliciano Leviste of Batangas province said 117 persons were known to have been killed, including a man who survived the great 1911 eruption which took an estimated 3,000 lives. Three of the dead were struck by lightning in a thunderstorm meteorologists said was caused by the eruption.
Estimates of the number of persons living on the volcano isle ranged from 2,000 to 6,000, and the Philippine Constabulary said many of them had been evacuated. Manila newspapers put the number of dead at 1,200 to 2,000.
President Diosdado Macapal headed a rescue mission from Manila but operations were hampered by the smoke and steam and a heavy rain. Volcanologists warned that a stronger explosion could come Wednesday, causing tidal waves on the lake.
The Red Cross reported that 8,200 persons had been evacuated from three towns of bamboo houses on the lake shore facing the volcano. Rocks reportedly fell on the mainland side of the lake-a distance of more than two miles through the air from the volcano's southern crater.

In addressing the final planning session of state civic and religious leaders prior to the kick-off for a million dollar campaign, Avery paid tribute to the fund committees and their collective efforts to "sustain, improve and expand the Kansas School of Religion in KU's second century."
"That the state cannot support this ecumenical teaching with public funds does not diminish the need to provide this important facit of an educational society." Avery said.
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe also spoke of the necessity of private support, emphasizing "the tragedy that this program is housed in the most delapidated of facilities.
the proper place for the teaching of religion."

Speaking were: Father Brendan Downey, director of Catholic campus ministry at KU and a teacher in the School of Religion; W. Wallace Smith, president of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Independence, Mo.; and Rev. Edward C. Turner, Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese of Kansas, Topeka.
