Food Shortage Follows lluako

‘(By The Associated Press) OIUDAD TRUJILID. Dominican BPPlI-Wc- Allll- 9 — Widespread Panic and an acute food shortage were reported tonight in the northern provinces oi the Domin-

“(d therlcan Republic, battered by a con-

tinuing series of earthquakes arid lashed by devastating tidal waves which have killed at least 73 per- sons and left 20,000 homeless since last Sunday.

In addition to the sharper quakes. mild earth tremors have been felt in most partg of the i-e- liublic about every five minutes since the initial shoots oh sun. day.

The panic centred about Bahia Escoccsa (Scotch Bay) in the nor- thern part of the island where the inhabitants are living constant fear of a recurrence of the severe quakes.

The coastal towns of Matanzaa. Puerto Plats. Batey. Samaria and Sanchez. cracked and torn by the shocks and later crushed and flooded by the tidal waves, are virtual "ghost towns." without a single inhabitant remaining in

them.

Refugees from the destroyed towns are living in trees and‘ caves in nearby hills or have reached other villages far from the toast. The Red Cross has set up refugee camps in the northern provinces, but. present accommo- dations are not suflicient for the many thousands of homeless.

Although the government has been attempting to send all avail- able food to the stricken areas. the situation has become acute because the Washing out. of roads and bridges by flooding rivers has impaired transportation. .

Government sources said it was impossible to estimate the number of injured and the amount of damage. but conceded that prop- ertv losses would total millions oi dollars. More complete reports would be received, the sources said. when communications be- tween the capital and the north- ern zon-e were re-es-tziblished.

The shocks were believed caused‘

by a shift in the bed oi the At- lantic 50 miles northeast oi the island. where the water ls 28.680 feet deep.

Canadian Press Stafl Writer’

PAR-IS. Aug. e-(ow oanlei-A dozen votes since the peace ech- ference started clearly indicate that Russia and her flve support- l-lll countries from eastern and Central Europe are sticking y Wlether and likely will continue to vote alike throughout the con- ference.

Btflte Secretary Brynea od the United States and other western leaders disparage talks c: bloeast U10 09MB ley and emphatic- ally deny at any Anglo-Saxon bloc i: ‘B51181!!! up" on the Sov- iet but there are few people here who deny that there is s, Russian b in operation.

Voting with Russia are the Uk- raine. White Russia, Yugoslavia, Poland and Czechoslovakia. There have been a few variations. but they were not important. Once in a while Russia has not been in line but it seems to have been a mistake. This morning Poland and Czechoslovakia abstained on the conference rules while Russia and the other three voted.

Some observers expected Czecho- slovakia might not be a rigid

nrnemiber of the Russian group and -

perhaps would sometimes take an independent position. But a vot- ing "bcx score" prepared by the Canadian delegation shows that the Czech group is going along with Russia.

In Prague last spring a good litany high-placed Czechs talked about their country looking west as well as east but judging by performances at the conferences Czechoslovakia has been drawn _ir.to the Russian orbit as an in- evltable out sequence of its posit- ion in the heart of Europe, prac- tically surrounded by Soviet-con- trolled areas. ' "

In the first six votes at ference Norway voted similarly to the Russian group. This caused speculation that Norway possibly was moving toward Russia.

However. on the vital question ~of the two-thirds she switched her position. lining up with Britain. the United States and the Commonwealth countries.

"You certainly can't count Nor- ivav in any Soviet bloc," one dip- lomatic source said.
