UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Wednesday, September 22, 1993 7 KLAMATH, Oregon Oregon earthquake kills two, measures 5.7 on Richter scale Crews cleared earthquake debris of bricks and broken glass from streets and sidewalks yesterday and half-eaten meals still sat on restaurant tables where diners had fled hours earlier. Geologists warned that buildings damaged by Monday night's quake could collapse as aftershocks rumbled through the area. More than 100 people refused to spend the night in their homes after the tremor, including one family who left California to get away from snakes. One motorist was killed by a rock slide. An 82-year-old woman died of an apparent heart attack after she was frightened by the mawk. The earthquake, which struck at 8:29 p.m. Monday, was upgraded yesterday from 5.4 to 5.7 on the Richter scale by the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park, Calif. It was followed within three hours by aftershocks measuring 5.5 and 4.8 on the scale. A magnitude 5.5 quake can cause considerable damage in a populated area. A quake measuring 6 on the Richter scale can cause severe damage. Last spring, a magnitude 5.6 quake struck about 200 miles north of Monday's quake, causing $14 million in damage in Oregon's Willamette Valley. DIYARBAKIR, Turkey Government troops kill rebels Government troops killed 15 Kurdish rebels yesterday in southeastern Turkey, the Anatolian news agency said. Two soldiers were killed in a separate incident. The report said the soldiers were killed when separatist rebels raked a military vehicle with automatic weapons near the town of Andirin in the southeastern province of Kahramanmaras. Five other soldiers were wounded. No details were available on the Kurdish deaths. Troops killed 10 rebels on Cudi Mountain in the province of Sirmak on Monday, the agency said. According to the report, troops also killed five other rebels in the same province Monday in another clash. THE NEWS in brief More than 100 people died in intensified fighting last week in the region, where the government had launched an offensive against the Kurdistan Workers' Party. More than 7,000 people have been killed since the party began fighting for self-rule in 1984. CAPE TOWN, South Africa Country plans for transition The ruling National Party attacked white lawmakers yesterday who oppose giving up some power to a multiracial council that will oversee the transition to Black majority rule. Backed by the ruling party, a bill creating the Transitional Executive Council is expected to be passed by Parliament this week. The white Conservative Party fiercely opposes the measure. Yesterday, the second day of debate on the transitional council measure, Constitutional Affairs Minister Roelf Meyer told Conservatives: "You will not be able to stop this process. You would be totally irresponsible if you try." Conservative Party leader Ferdi Hartzenberg called the bill to establish the council a "declaration of war." In November, the white-dominated Parliament is expected to hold its last session, at which the final constitutional changes are to be made, clearing the way for the country's first election to include its Black majority. That vote is scheduled for April 27. Nelson Mandela, president of the African National Congress, and President F.W. de Klerk will visit the United States later this week to woo foreign investors. Both have warned that political violence will discourage new investment. Until then, the transitional council would have veto power over government decisions and would have to be consulted on budget and policy matters. NEW YORK Female smokers more at risk Women may be more prone to lung cancer from smoking cigarettes than men are, especially among heavier smokers, a study suggests. At the highest smoking levels studied, female smokers showed 82 times the lung cancer risk of nonsmoking women, while male smokers showed only 23 times the risk of nonsmoking men. Risch said he had no adequate explanation for the disparity. Overall, female smokers may run about twice the risk that male smokers do for a given number of cigarettes smoked in their lives, said Harvey Risch, physician and associate professor of epidemiology and public health at the Yale University School of Medicine. He presents the study in the current issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology with scientists from the University of Toronto and the Ontario Cancer Treatment and Research Foundation in Toronto. WASHINGTON Study says more dads stay home For more and more American preschool children, it's Dad who pours the breakfast cereal and tucks them in for their afternoon naps. Fathers with working wives in 1991 were the primary caretakers for one-fifth the children under age 5, a Census Bureau demographer said yesterday. Just three years earlier the share was one in seven. Changes in the way Americans work have encouraged fathers to stay home and care for the kids, said demographer Martin O'Connell, author of a study based on Census figures and released by the Population Reference Bureau, a Washington educational organization.
