By Peter Copeland Howard News Service MEXICO CITY Nancy Reagan visited Mexico's earthquake victims Monday, talking with children at a Red Cross aid center and watching workers search for survivors In the rubble of fallen buildings. Mrs. Reagan was followed by an entourage of at least 100 journalists from Mexico and the United States. While visiting the aid center, Mrs. Reagan looked at the boxes of food and the children, shook her head, and said, "It's overwhelming." She presented a $1 million check to President Miguel de La Madrid to aid reconstruction efforts, and pledged further U.S.

support: "We will do whatever we can to help." At a collapsed apartment building, where at least 800 people are believed to be buried, Mrs. Reagan ran into opera singer Placido Domingo, who was searching for four relatives who were in the building. "I have a great deal of admiration for the Mexican people," Mrs. Reagan said. "How the two countries are working together is nice to see." The first lady, Joined by Paloma de la Madrid, wife of the Mexican president, spent three hours in the city, then flew back to Washington.

More than 30 planes from 16 countries delivered medical supplies, food, clothing and tools. The government estimated 3,000 people were killed In the two major earthquakes that struck the city last week and 4,000 are missing, many of them still buried. Much of Mexico City is still without water service, electricity or public transportation. Because of rubble-filled streets, delivery of the relief supplies was hampered by traffic bottlenecks. A trip from the airport to the city center, normally 20 minutes, took 2-12 hours Monday.

Five U.S. Air Force planes have landed in Mexico City since Saturday, carrying 16 heavy electric generators, trucks, helicopters, 600 sleeping bags, 5,000 plastic body bags, 41,000 five-gallon water cans and numerous other supplies. In addition, the Air Force sent in experts in demolition, rescue and communications, according to the U.S. Embassy. Father Marshall Gourley, of Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Denver, was one of the Americans aboard a Continental Airlines plane that carried in 35,000 pounds of food, clothing and medical supplies donated by Americans.

"These are things we really need," said Mexican Red Cross Commander Jose Berlin, who met the predawn flight "The medical supplies might be necessary soon because we fear an epidemic be cause of all the dead Other rescue workers also have warned of the possibility of an epidemic of typhoid or cholera or severe stomach illness caused by contaminated water Government officials have tried to calm those fears. "There is no risk in breathing air that smells of decomposing cadavers. There is no possibility of smallpox or cholera just from being near dead bodies." said Jaime Sepul-veda, chief of epidemiology for the Health Ministry. Rescuers continued to pick through the rubble of crushed buildings but officials said the chances of finding anyone alive grow slimmer each day. However, three people were found alive Sunday, more than 72 hours after the first earthquake struck Thursday morning.

One survivor said he dug small airholes and urinated on a sponge to save the moisture "I was buried upside down but managed to turn myself around," he said. "I sucked on a pebble to keep the saliva flowing. There were two people near me and we talked for two days until the woman started to go crazy. 'Pass me a mineral she said. 'My sister always puts one in the refrigerator for me.

"But on Saturday, I stopped hearing her voice," he said. Mexico City shook for seven minutes Thursday during an earthquake that registered 7.8 on the Richter scale. A second earthquake Saturday night lasted about 90 seconds and registered 7.3. There have been at least 38 other minor aftershocks since Thursday.

Lanston said It appears "mere really was a commit ment made to coordinate intervention." A Treasury spokesman described the dollar's fall as "healthy" and said it was in line with Reagan's determination to curb record US trade deficits and forestall calls for trade barriers. "But the important point is that behind the scenes mere was a funda mental decision to reinflate industrial economies to help solve world economic and financial problems," Jones said. "The gold market arid stock market recognized that decision." Gold traded up to $330 an ounce from Friday's $319 before fading back slightly.
