SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) — Modern high-rise office buildings survive but they whip and sway violently, flinging typewriters andfiling cabinets across crowded offices. Windowspop out, orin. Building facin, and cornices breakloose and crash to the streets below, along with tons of plate glass. More than 10,000 San Francisco Bay Area residents are killed. Some 40,000 are injured. Suchis the scene expected from the next great California earthquake should it center on or near the Bay Area on a work- ing weekdayat 4:30 p.m. and equalthe 8.3 Richterscale intensity that destroyed San Francisco in 1906. The casualties scale down for other times of day. The chances are not remote. Scientists tive California a 50-50 chanceof having a major earthquake sometimein the next 10 years, a 100 percent chancein the next 50 years, Experts on the coming cataclysm have worked up some suggestions for those willing to invest in some preparations aimed at keeping themselves off the 50,000 casualty list, an estimate by the National Oceanic and Atomospheric Adininistration. They strongly advise Californians to put aside their heroic nonchalancein the face of their risky future and pay attention. Whetherat home,office or factory, have on hand a flashlight and portable radio becausethe electric power will probably go out. Store drinking water because the water mains figure to burst. Assemble first aid kits, tools, soap, a fire extinguisher and several other items listed in numerous pamphlets and books. One place where earthquake preparations are listed is the front pages of the telephone book. Advice varies on exactly whatto dofirst when the ground or floor starts heaving beneath you, but thereis consensus on the basics. Disaster experts — admittedly surmising in the absence of any recent vivid examples — advise against rushing outdoors if you’re indoors. As calmly as possible, duck under the nearest piece of stable furniture or crouch neara sturdyin- side wall. If outdoorsin a city, seekindoorshelter.

The Golden Gate and Bay bridges figure to withstand the strongest likely earthquake. The dangers comefrom the flying and falling missiles, a rising of the water table, causing structures to sink into the ground, and immobilization of the disaster relief services. “Tt could take up to four hours before tractors can clear a path for ambulances,” Daysaid. MeanyGrip Slips in Recent Years WASHINGTON(UPI) — George Meany welded two feuding union groupsinto one powerful organization a quarter century ago, but his grasp on the American labor movementhad weakened in recent years. Meany’s name was synonymous with organized labor to many Americans for much of his 8 years. Yet the power he wielded as president of the AFL-CIO — both within the union movement and in political and governmentcircles — began to wane as membership slipped in the building trades and gained in white collar jobs. The changes were so great that by the time of Meany's death last Thursday, organized labor was unorganized. e three largest unions in the nation — Teamsters, United Auto Workers, and Woman Faces Charge ST. LOUIS (UPI) — A woman whopolice said tried to abandon her newborn daughter in a sewer five years ago now is charged with suffocating the child and burning her body to make the death appear accidental. Blanche Russell, 27, wascharged with seconddegree murder Monday, then hospitalized for psy. chiatric observation. Police said Mrs. Russell ‘and her husband only recentiy regained custody of thegirl. Orleinally olice thought the little girl, Marvalette Russell, 5, burned to death, but an autopsy showed she has suffocated. She was found in the kitchen of her home Saturday morning engulfed in flames and lying acrossthe oven dooor. National Education Association — arenot membersof the AFL-CIO. Ontopofthat, some liberal union leaders have joined with UAW President Douglas Fraserin a “Progressive Alliance” designed to win improvements in social conditions. ‘Thus Meanyhasleft his successor, Lane Kirkland, with the samechallenge Meany himself met successfully in the mid 1950s — to pull warring factions together. Kirkland, who took overthe 13.6 millionmember AFL-CIO just two months before Meany died, already has made clear he plans to try and restore the unionto its stature as the dominantforce in labor. In his inaugural speech at the biennial convention in November, Kirkland issued a call for non-aligned unions to bury past differences and join the federation.
