"We are prepared to put thousands in the street if need be," he said. Circuit Judge Cornelius J. Harrington issued the temporary restraining order Friday at the request of the city of Chicago and Police Supt.

Orlando W. Wilson. His order limits the number of demonstrators to 500, permits only one march a day, only during non -rush hour daylight periods and requires that police be given 24 hours advance notice of any demonstration. The city's complaint, filed at the direction of Mayor Richard J. Daley, accused civil rights leaders of carrying out a plan of "creative tension." It said that "major civil disturbances erupted" in and July "re- Btilting in damages in excess of several million dollars to private property, tlie death of 27 persons and injury to 374 persons, including 61 police officers."

Evans, president of the Humane Society, faces three disorderly conduct complaints because some 400 ducks decided to settle along the city's park district frontage on the Rock River. The city felt the ducks should go. Mrs. Evans disagreed. When it began to look as if the ducks weren't going to leave on their own, the park board voted to encourage the birds to move elsewhere.

The board figured that if some of them left others would follow. So, traps were set up by park workers with lines of com leading to the traps. When Mrs. Evans heard about the board's plan, she went to the park Wednesday night and swept the corn away. A crowd aiTived and so did the police.

"I think Congress is very receptive to this legislation," said Rep. Joe R. Pool, acting committee chairman. Other members agreed that the defiant committee-baiting by antiwar witnesses and admission by several witnesses that they are communists will help speed the legislation to early House passage. Pool said he would seek committee approval next week of a bill he introduced to authorize maximum $20,000 fines and 20- year jail terms for persons convicted of helping the Viet Cong or North Vietnamese or of trying to block the movement of U.

Column 3) In Turkey FEAR 3,000 PERISHED IN EARTHQUAKE ANKARA, Turkey workers today counted nearly 1,000 bodies of victims from the catastrophic earthquake that ripped across eastern Turkey Friday and officials said the toll probably will go far beyond 3,000. The number of known and estimated dead rose by the hour as army and civilian rescue teams fought through the rugged, mountainous back country of the quake-stunned area to reach destroyed villages and towns.

Officials reported many sands injured. The full fury of the quake Friday afternoon hit the town of Varto, a community of 3,000 inhabitants. "It can be said that nothing remained of Varto," a Turkish Army officer reported from the scene. The Turkish Interior Ministry earlier had expressed belief the quake, which leveled dozens of other villages, might have taken 1,500 lives. The quake struck mountain villages in four provinces near the Iranian frontier, about 650 miles east of Istanbul.

The governor of Erzurum Province reported in a radio broadcast from Ali.Akarsu Friday night that all dwellings were leveled in 21 villages in the province. He said about 90 per cent of all buildings in the city of Erzurum, "with a population of 55,000 were demolished, as were most of those in Hinis Township. The local hospital also was destroyed. The casualty reports from the four stricken provinces rum, Mus, Bingol and Bitlis rose as the Turkish government with the help of the U.S. Air Force mounted a massive emergency aid and rescue operation.

The Turkish 3rd Army based in the city of Erzurum, largest urban center in the disaster ai'ea, sent troops and ti-ucks into the surrounding mountainous counti-yside to reach residents of ruined villages. The U.S. Air Force sent one plane load of doctors and medical supplies into the stricken area from Ankara and two others from Adana and alerted two more plane loads to follow. The Americans rushed in 7,000 pounds of medical supplies and stood ready to fly in more. The quakes began at 2:30 p.m.

local time Fi-iday. The newspaper Milliyet reported it was very sti'ong for 20 seconds and was felt in Armenia and the neighboring Soviet Union. The Erzurum weather bureau said the earth tremors lasted five minutes. Tlie Soviet news agency listed tlie intensity of the quake as 9 on the 12-point Soviet scale, equal to 7.5 on the 10-point Richter scale used in the West. By ED MORSE AP Business News Writer NEW YORK (AP) The stock market this week took its worst fall in more than four years, rivaling the drop of May 1962 just prior to the "Black Monday" plunge.

Wall Street was wrapped in gloom over high interest rates, tight money and the possible fate of business and the economy later in 1966 and in 1967. The market fell sharply every day. But there was no panic, no rush to sell. Volume did pick up to 32,632,260 shares from 28,411,250 the week before. It was the largest since the week ended June 25, when 35.7 million shares changed hands.

Many of the most profitable glamor stocks in electronics, office equipment, photography and airlines were hit hard. Blue chips in all categories gave ground, resulting in stiff losses to the averages. The Associated Press average of 60 stocks fell 13.3 to 289.0, its lowest since Jan. 20, 1964. This was its worst weekly loss since the week of May 26, 1962, when it fell 16.3 in the worst weekly drop on record.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 35.91 this week to 804.62. This was its lowest since it dropped to 800.31 on June 8, 1964, and its worst loss since the same 1962 week when it clined 38.82. On the "Black Monday" of May 28, 1962, the AP average fell 13.4 and the Dow Industrials 34.95, A temporary recovery followed that big shakeout the worst since the 1929 crash but the market did not reach its bottom until the epd of June 1962. Wall Streeters were asking this weekend whether the 1962 history would repeat. A strong technical rally, at least, is anticipated, but not lasting recovery until some sign that the tight money situation is being reversed, analysts say.

Of 1,581 issues traded this week, 1,393 stocks feU and 106 rose. The 37-point fall of Xerox was one of the most sensational. Fairchild Camera dropped points, Polaroid 15, Itek Burroughs and Eastern Air Lines Airlines rallied in the midst of a general market decline on Monday. They were spurred by another proposed settlement of the airline strike. Later in the week, however, the question whether the union would accept it was still in the air and there was some further selling of airlines.

The market plunged steeply Tuesday in advance of- news which came after the close that leading banks were raising their prime interest rate to 6 per cent from per cent. The fall continued Wednesday but at a slower pace. Another big loss came Thursday, when the Federal Reserve Board froze about $450 million of lendable funds by increasing required reserves of member banks. A weak technical rally Friday morning was followed by a further slide. VOTE TO of Local of the AFL-CIO International Association of Machinists cast their ballots hi New York Friday on whether to accept the contract that would end the six-week old airline strike, or whether to reject the contract as they did once before.

The 950-man New York local voted by a 3 to 1 ratio to accept the contract and end the strike. wirephoto) Viet Cong Hurled Back By Aussies Illinois Coed Is Miss Amvet BEND LAKE BUILDING SITE-Xhe adinlnlstratlon building Rend'Vake project wlU be loZTon this site where the Bearden Construction Co. began grading this week In initial nhaseo nf ttu LJ. 7 nnu wnere erection of the building and Installation of line that IT. tem Some of the temporary storage aheds can be in the background.

Gen. William C. Westmoreland, U.S. commander in Viet Nam, called the Aussies' action a "significant victory." Over North Viet Nam, U.S. pilots pounded oil depots in the southern panhandle Friday and left the area exploding in flames, the U.S.

military command said. Elsewhere, the gi'ound war was relatively quiet. U.S. ti-oops reported little or no contact. At coastal Qui Nhon 280 miles southeast of Saigon, 800 fresh troops of the U.S.

1st Air Cavalry Division came ashore today, raising tlie total of American manpower in South Viet Nam to 297,000 men. The new troops moved immediately to the division's central highland headquarters at An Khe. Westmoreland sent a congratulatory message to the Aussies for their battle of Thursday night when they hurled back a human-wave attack by perhaps as many as 1,000 Hanoi regulars. A U.S. spokesman said American fliers flew 113 missions over the Communist north Friday were limited to the phong area and the southern panhandle by bad weather.

He said the U.S. pilots struck eight oil dumps and reported six secondai7 explosions an indication of durect hits plus 15 lires. Pilots also claimed damage or desti-uction to 50 barges, 6 bi-idges, 15 railroad cars and 15 trucks. Navy pilots, attacking the Nam Dinh storage area 45 miles southwest of Haiphong, reported a string of fires and one secondary explosion. Hanoi said two U.S.

planes were shot down Friday, but there was no confirmation of this in Saigon. North Viet Nam also charged that U.S. planes staged 69 raids on North Vietnamese dikes and dams during July and said raids were continuing this month. U.S. officials disclaim knowledge of such attacks.

In South Viet Nam, Ainerican pilots flew 433 sorties and claimed destruction of 655 huts and 52 sampans. South Vietnamese pilots got in 293 sorties, the spokesman said. For the fourth time this week, Guam-based B52s today hammered at Viet Cong strongholds In Tay Ninh Province facing the Cambodian border. The targets were 55 and 65 miles northwest of Saigon.

(AP) Seattle aquarium owner Ted Griffin says he lost money on Namu, the killer whale. "I owe $50,000 right now, plus a certain amount of other personal money," Griffin said Friday in an interview. Namu, captured in Canadian waters in June 1965, died at Griffin's aquarium July 9. He was the first killer, whale to survive more than a few days in captivity.

Records, sweat sliirts and other items were sold as souvenirs. "None of the things really paid off the way they might look," Griffin said. He said it cost him $100,000 to keep Namu for the winter at Rich Cove, across Puget Sound, and "I didn't even begin to get that back."

WASHINGTON (AP) Jet planes of five major airlines prepared to wing skyward today after machinists ended a six- week strike that profoundly shook the administration's economic policy and gave Congress its biggest political scare in years. "The strike is now over," said President P. L. (Roy) Siemiller of the AFL-CIO International Association of Machinists after militant union members voted 17,727 to 8,235 to accept a lucrative new contract and end the worst airlines walkout in U.S. history.

Shortly after the vote was announced, spokesmen for the five airlines Eastern, United, northwest, National and Trans World said some flights would be taking off early today. The contract approval sending 35,400 strikers back to work permits Congress to drop politically explosive legislation that would have ordered strikers back to theft- jobs for the first time in U.S. history. Organized labor had lined up solidly in opposition to the legislation. But it shatters White House guidelines designed to limit vtrage.hikes to 3.2 per cent a year and sets a precedent for Other unions' to cite in pressing for fatter paychecks.

Estimated at a 6 per cent ou more annual increase, the new contract gives 15 per cent in wage hikes over three years plus a cost-of-living guarantee against, sharply rising prices worth up to 6 cents more per hour, in the final year of the agreement in 1968. This.means top-rated miechanics, who have been receiving $3.25 an hour, will be paid at least $4.08 an hour within three years. Siemiller already was looking io the future. "It is just like a prize fight," he said. "This round is over, but there will be another one in 2 years and 4 months," referring to the contract's expiration date.

Fully paid pensions and better health benefits and vacations will be prime goals next time, Siemiller said. In an early indication to the effect of the hefty contract, the A L-CIO Communications Workers of America said in taking a nationwide strike vote among Western Electric Co. telephone installers that it was shooting for a similar agreement designed to shatter the administration's anti-inflation wage guidelines. Siemiller said "we claim no credit for shattering anything," but his union earlier boasted the airlines settlement "shreds" the guidelines. The five aii-lines lost estimated revenues of $340 million during the strike, although it was not certain how much of this would be recouped through a pact under which other big airlines that remained operating share windfall profits with four of the grounded carriers.

The strikers and furloughed employes of the five airlines lost an estimated $67 million in wages, some of it covered by S25 weekly strike benefits and temporary jobs elsewhere. "The good news I have for you tonight could have been yours a month ago if Sen. Wayne Morse and his associates had just kept quiet on the Senate floor and let collective bargaining work," Siemiller said in announcing ratification. This remark touched on a major question in the strike should Congress and the White House keep hands off such major labor-management clashes? The au'lines appeared for a time to be waiting to see whether Congress would force the strikers back to work pending fui'ther negotiations or compulsory arbitration. But as Congi-ess, facing elections just three months away, showed increasing signs of delay and the multimillion-dollar ah-lines losses mounted, the settlement was hammered out in a final 20-hour negotiation sessions in the Labor Department basement early Tuesday..
