BOMBAY, India (AP) - The
most violent earthquake in India
in six years rocked the region
from Bombay to the Pakistan border Saturday night. Officials said
at least 100 persons were killed
and 260 injured. By nightfall 95
bodies had been recovered.
The people of Kutch, marshy
coastal area where India and Pakistan have disputed over demarcation lines, were reported in
panic.
Colaba Meteorological Observatory here said most of the 100
reported killed were at Anjar, a
small town 15 miles from Bhujin
Kutch, where 500 houses collapsed.
Thc entire area Around Kathia-
war Peninsula was shaken, however. The peninsula, just south of
Kutch, is part of the state of
Madhya Bharat, a union of 25
former Indinn states that was
created in 1948 under India's new
constitution.
Primp Minister Nehru, return- from here to the Pakistan border,
ATS-* <" rJ^Jir^-ftt
taken him to London, western
Europe and the Middle East, arrived Sunday at Jamnagar near
the stricken area. Jamnagar was
reported shaken.
Nehru conferred with Lfficials
on relief measures.
Colaba Observatory described
the earthquake, which occurred
at 9 p. m.t as of "moderate intensity" except at Anjar, where it
was said to have been severe. A
second mild shock was recorded
at dawn Sunday.
Reports trickling in indicated
at least 1,000 buildings were destroyed throughout the area ami
thousands more damaged. A high
school caved in at Bacnau, but it
was empty.
Indian   authorities,   fearing   the
disaster'might prove --renter than
firsj   reports indicated,   were  organizing a relief operation to take'
care of thousands. '

DIG LIVING FROM DEBRIS
Army units cordoned off the
worst hit area near Anjar where
wrecked houses still were collapsing. A police party, sushed to the
town from Bhuj, dug 25 living ■
persons out of debris, but scores
were still missing. ;
Seventeen freight cars were derailed by thc tremor at Kandla.
At Ahmadabad. a teacher was
lecturing on earthquakes when
the tremor was felt.
The quake, which killed at least
574 persons, was Ihc strongest
felt in India since 1930 when a

Earlier Sunday civil defence coordinator Maj.-Gcn. F. F. Worth-

"far better and infinately beyond

Tills afternoon, Tito took his
guest by launch across the five
miles of sea from Brioni to Pula.
Asked what they discussed, Tito
told reporters: "What cafi I say?"
Turning tu Mikoyan, he added
with a twinkle In his eye: "He
came here for a rest." Mikoyan
laughed.
Yugoslav Foreign Secretary
Koca  Popovic  told  reporters  "1
have nothing to tell ynu. I have
been at Brioni for a rest."
STRONG TEAM
Foreign observers noted however that Tito had a powerful
team with him lo meet t*e Russian leader, including Gen. Ivan
Gosnjak, defence secretary.
The Soviet military attache to
Yugoslavia, Lt.-Col. Vastly Pnna-
marenko, was called from Belgrade to Brioni Sunday afternoon.
Despite a complete lack of official information, it was believed
Mikoyan came to inform Tito of
the pulley behind Matyas Ilakosi's
downfall as Hungarian Communist chief and his replacement by
Ernoc Genie.
Hakosi had been one of Tito's
bitterest enemies during the
period of the Yugoslav leader's
estrangement from the Communist world from 1948 until last
year.
Rakosi's downfall was greeted
with satisfaction here. But there
appeared to be mixed feelings
about the appointment of Geroe,
who also has a reputation as a
staunch onetime supporter of Stalin.
WONT DESERT WEST
Earlier,   Belgrade   released
Nasser was reported to have
talked with the Soviet ambassador in Cairo Sunday and Egyptian reaction was that Egypt intends to build the dam even
though Western help is with-
drawan. -
Shepilov's comment was not accepted here as final. But it was
interpreted as evidence that Russia would prefer nol to become involved in the undertaking.
Whether this Russian attitude
will hold up il Nasser pleads with
Moscow for assistance no one
would predict. The slate department Is convinced that penetration of thc Middle East U a major aim of present Soviet foreign
policy and lhat the Soviet government will exploit the Aswan
incident in every possible way.
CHANGED POSITION
Western withdrawal from, thc
Nile River project, a pet plan of
Nasser's, converted the Egyptian
leader's position in an instant
from .that of a shrewd diplomatic
bargainer, playing Russia and the
United States against each other,
Into that of a man who sess one

This means the Commons will sit

Among the estimates remaining

those of thc defence production,
external affairs and health and
welfare departments. Debate on
those usually are fairly  lengthy.
Perhaps 'the most contentious
legislation still on the order paper
Is the government proposal for
federal-provincial lax-sharing arrangements. Debate on second
reading—approval in principle-

Thc measure already has been

opposition members criticizing it
on the ground the federal government is not generous enough with
the provinces, .
MAY KILL LOANS ACT
Another measure currently receiving a rough time in the Commons hanking committee is the
federal proposal lo widen * the
scope of the Small Loans Act and
set a sliding scale of interest
rates on small loans. It is possible
that lhe committee will not complete its study of the bill at this
session, thus killing fhe measure.
So far the session has seen
some bitter days, topped by the
three-week pipeline debate that
led lo an unprecedented debate oh
a Progressive Conservative motion of censure against Commons
Speaker Rene Beaudbin.
Earlier in the session there was
some time-consuming debates on
a government proposal to guaran (

and   on   Canadian   shipment   of
arms to the troubled Middle East.
The biggest news to come out
of Commons committees were the
reports study of capital and corporal punishment begun In the
1053-54 sessions.
The joint Senate * Commons
committee recommended retention of capital punlsment^ but
that lhe method of execution-
hanging—be changed to electrocution or, alternately, to the
gas chamber.
It recommended the abolition of
corporal punishment as part of
court sentences, but its retention

force discipline in penal Institutions.

(Poland announced in September, 1955, that she would reduce
her forces by 47,000 men within
three months.)
The parade marked Poland's
National Liberation Day, the occasion for which- Bulganin was
said to have made his unexpected
visit Saturday.
Shortly after his arrival by air,
the Soviet leader lashed out at
"opportunists and wavering elements" in Communist countries
