Water lines and power lines were destroyed by Tuesday's earthquake. (AP LASER- PHOTO) Cranes, Jackhammers Used In Quake Rescue ZAMBOANGA, The Philippines (AP) Rescue workers used heavy cranes and jackhammers to dig through the wreckage caused by earthquakes and tidal waves that left more than 3,000 known dead, 3,000 missing and an estimated 150,000 homeless. Military planes ferried emergency supplies of food, clothing and medicine into stricken Mindanao Island and the adjacent Zamboanga peninsula, 500 to 600 miles south of Manila. The National Disaster Coordinating Center (NDCC), in a meeting with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, reported that 3,131 pcsons were known dead and 3,117 missing.

Many of the missing were also feared dead. The grim task of counting the dead was made more difficult by the fact that unkown numbers were swept into the sea by giant tidal waves that rushed more than a quarter of a mile inland after the first earthquake just after midnight Tuesday. Unofficial reports from the stricken region said there was danger of epidemics breaking out in some areas, but there was no official confirmation. Officials said that there was an ample supply of rice and other food in the quake-stricken zones and that medical teams were coping adequately with the injured. From Cotabato City, a provincial capital 560 miles southwest of Manila, Associated Press photographer Jess Tart Jr.

reported that rescue workers were digging through wrecked buildings in the hope of finding more survivors. Authorities said at least 500 persons were killed in the city of 80,000 and almost 100 were missing. Tan said many people fled to parks and other open areas after the quake hit early Tuesday. "There was panic and everyone tried to run from buildings," one rescue worker told Tan. Two strong aftershocks rocked the Cotabato area late Wednesday and early Thursday, Tan said.

Military troops stationed there fired their weapons into the air to alert sleeping residents. Zamboanga, a city of 400,000 about 540 miles south of Manila, was the center for relief operations. Spots hit hardest by the quake coincidentally were those that have been scenes of the heaviest fighting in four years of Moslem rebel unrest in Mindanao. A Moslem priest declared in a broadcast Thursday, "Allah has cursed us. Allah is punishing us because there is so much hatred without love, so much war without peace." The priest appealed to people "to help one another during this period of Marcos, in his meeting with disaster center officials, called on the Christian majority of the country to "show con-iern, sympathy and cooperation with the Moslem population." Nationwide appeals were made over radio and television stations for people to contribute money and other goods for quake victims.

Marcos said the United States had offered helicopters and fixed wing aircraft to help in rescue and relief efforts. He told military leaders to "keep this (theoffer) in mind." But the president told the military and civilian disaster group the Philippines should "not look as if we are beggars," and he cited China's refusal of all offers of help after its recent earthquake disaster as a "dignified" example. Catholic Relief Services ann- nounced in New York that it had ordered release of 7,000 tons of food, clothing and medicine worth $5.3" million held in reserve in Manila to be used for victims of the earthquake and tidal wave. The agency also said it would ship another worth of supplies from New York City. Floridians Engage In Ballot Battle KANSAS CITY, Mo.

(AP) A bitter battle erupted among Florida delegates to the Republican National Convention Thursday during balloting on the vice presidential nomination of Sen. Robert Dole of Kansas. Rep. C.W. "Bill" Young blasted Mike Thompson of Miami, a Ronald Reagan delegate, for encouraging Reagan delegates to cast their vice presidential ballots for Dr.

John Grady of Belle Glade, a Republican U.S. Senate candidate. The delegation cast 35 votes for Dole, 19 for Grady, nine for Rep. Lou Frey, two for Anne Armstrong, ambassador to Great Britain, and one for Sen. Bill Brock of Tennessee.

"If you're going to use that tactic, so am a livid Young told Thompson. "This is embarrassing to the whole state of Florida. If you want Pinellas County toigo for Grady, stop this stupid thing." "I'm sorry, but you can courii' Pinellas County out of Grady's column and he's not going to witi without it," Young said. Grady is running aginst State Sen. Walter Sims of Orlando for.

the right to challenge Lawton Chiles, in tli'e general election. Young, and other angry, delegates who opposed the presidential votes for Grady' called them an inexcusable into the Sims-Gracly. primary. Young questioned motivations. "1 guess he's handling Grady's public rela; tions and he figures this is going, to give him a free shot," Young said.

Several Reagan delegates, including his Florida chairman, L.E. "Tommy" Thomas, opposed Thompson's move and cast their ballots for Dole. "1 don't think it's fair," Thomas said. "Walter Sims is a candidate too." 561 Harrison Avenue Downtovw) Repeat of a Seiiout Prewash Oenim (now also in Calcutta) JUMP SUIT Reg. $24.00 now 1 Suzie has what oeopie want The Styles they want and at Prices they want to pay YEA!
