4 the ournl Timet, Fridiy, Un. 1902 ZA Rcin, Wi Stricken California area faces water restrictions ft i many as 20 people were presumed killed when their homes were buried, but the devastation was so complete that officials estimate it may lake weeks to bulldoze into the slide, clear the debris and unearth victims. "The slide 250 acres of mud from the ridge top to the creek took everything In Its path," Kent said. "I saw car that had been folded In half like an envelope A couple of houses look like someone beat them into little tiny pieces." At the Love Creek slide and several other that still isolated scores of people three lo four days after they had occurred, workers "had to back off with backhoes today," Forbus said Thursday. "We need heavier equipment that won't slip and slide so much in order to move that mud." In Santa Cruz, leaks in the 22-Inch emergency bypass pipe Thursday jeopardized the dwindling water supply, said City Manager Richard Wilson.

That pipe was being used to route water from outlying sources after the 24-inch main from Newell Creek reservoir ruptured. The main, totally inaccessible for hours after the break, won't be repaired for up to a week, according to County Administrator George Newell. Since it broke, stored water dwindled to about million gallons by Wednesday, a half-day's supply. When power was restored Wednesday night, the supply was augmented as electric pumps provided access to other water sources. Conservation was working "quite well." he added All schools were closed, and most businesses and industries shut voluntarily.

"So far we've managed to take care of the hospitals," Forbus said. "If people don't take baths and don't flush toilets and we get time to bring the water supply back up, we'll be in good condition." The storm Sunday through Tuesday pummeled a 200-mile stretch of northern California from Sonoma County north of San Francisco to Santa Cruz on the Monterey Peninsula with up to 15 inches of rain in a 24-hour period. SANTA CRUZ, Calif (AP) Authorities pleaded with 70.000 people to use no water except for drinking and rooking In rain-soaked Santa Cruz County, one of five counties declared disaster areas by President Reagan after storms and mudslides killed 24 people. Sheriff's Sgt. Bruce Simpson said the county health officer had declared a critical need for water after a water main for Santa Cruz and the surrounding hills ruptured Monday.

A second pipe used as a bypass was leaky and the water system was shut off for three hours (Thursday night while it was repaired. Some remote pockets had no water at all. We can't take showers," Simpson said, "we can't eat hot food." Huge earth-moving machines attacked the mudslides after slippery, debris-laden mud proved too big a Job for backhoes and hundreds of rescuers trying to dig out roads, homes and victims buried during a 2'i-day killer storm. Reagan's declaration of disaster areas in Santa Cruz, Marin, Contra Costa, San Mateo and Sonoma counties makes them eligible for low-interest loans. Damage from the storm is estimated at more than (280 million by state and local officials in those five counties and three others Alameda, Solano and Santa Clara, which on Thursday asked Gov.

Edmund Brown Jr. for emergency help. Eleven of the 24 confirmed storm-related deaths occurred in Santa Cruz County. About 100 homes were wrecked, 300 more damaged, 1,800 people displaced and 40 roads closed or Impassable all the way through," said Dan Forbus, a Santa Cruz County supervisor. Power for 50,000 customers was out for 46 hours, and 4.000 still had no electricity late Thursday.

"People don't realize just how devastated this area is." said Carl Kent, a fire captain in the state Department of Forestry who worked Thursday in Ben Lomond's Love Creek section, where a massive mudslide crashed onto canyon homes. As Wlhc Randy Rumrill sobs at ruins of California house where his father is presumed buried Splash sounded like body: Atlanta cop ATLANTA (AP) A police stakeout officer testified today he heard a splash "similar to a body hitting the water" and saw lights appear on a bridge above the Chattahoochee River just before Wayne B. Williams' car was spotted moving slowly over the bridge. Williams, 23. a black freelance photographer, is on trial for murder in the slay-ings of Jimmy Ray Payne, 21, and Nathaniel Cater, 27, two of 28 young blacks slain here in a 22-month string of killings.

No arrests have been made in the 26 other deaths. The bodies of Payne and Cater were found in the Chattahoochee downstream from the bridge, which an expert has testified was the most likely 'dumping point "I looked up and all of a sudden lights appeared on the bridge, right above where the splash was. They started moving away from me, across the bridge." he said. Campbell said the splash was "much larger" than splashes made by beavers which he had seen on earlier stakeouts. The lights he saw oh the bridge were "directly above where I thought the origin of the splash was," he said.

Cater's body was found in the river May 24. 1981, about a mile downstream from the bridge. Payne's body had been found in the same general area a month earlier. for the bodies Bob Campbell, a police recruit stationed on the riverbank under the bridge as part of an Atlanta police stakeout project, testified today he heard a "loud splash" in the predawn hours of May 22, 1981 The officer said the sound was "very similar to a body hitting the water." He said he was a lifeguard for three years and had seen bodies enter the water "many times." "I grabbed my flashlight, night stick and walkie talkie, ran up to the bank looked out over the river and I could see waves out over the river," Campbell said. "I shined my flashlight and saw the waves moving toward the bank.
