Wipeout! 10,000 Washed Away by 20-Foot Wave MANPURA, East Pakistan (AP) The great wave riding the winds of the cyclone came in at midnight with a thunderous roar. Unhindred by dikes, it swept in a 20-fcot crest across little island in the Bay of Bengal, carrying hundreds of persons out to sea. 10,000 DEAD When the wave had passed, 10,000 of Manpura's 26,000 dents were dead. Of 5,000 houses, only four remained inta'ct.

This was the description of the cyclone that struck Friday spreading death and destruction to the Bay of Bengal islands and the southern coast of East Pa-kistan. It was given by Chaudhury Kamaluddin, 36, one of the surviving members of the Manpura district council. Still stunned by the disaster, the hungry and homeless gathered about the first visitors to the island, begging for food. No official has yet visited Manpura, Lemieux Tape Probed In Ottawa, the report of the tape recording was raised in the Commons by Creditiste Roland Godin, MP for Portneuf, who asked how the recording had been smuggled out of the QPP headquarters. plied that he had not heard all Prime Minister- Trudeau replied that he had not heard all of Mr.

Godin's question and would have to check the Common's written record before Meanwhile Justice Minister Jerome Choquette said Tuesday in Quebec City that, police who arrested a suspect in the kidnapping and slaying of former labor minister Pierre Laporte were unaware three other suspects were hiding in a secret compartment in the same apartment where the, arrest was made. Mr. Choquette told the Quebec national assembly the three men were apparently hiding in a walk-in clothes close): in the west-end Montreal apartment when Bernard Lortie was arrested Nov. 6. -The.

minister was replying to a question from Opposition Leader Jean-Jacques Bertrand. Lortie, a 19-year-old student, was found hiding in another closeti- Mr. Choquette said brothers Paul and Rose and Francis Simard were appar ently in the secret closet and escaped whehTat 6:30 p.m. the following on guard In the apartment left temporarily. LOCKED DOORS He said that before leaving, the officers made sure both the front and back" "doors were possibly because the need for help elsehwere is so great.

The survivors wore damp lungis, the wraparounds of Pakistan. Among them was Kamaluddin, one of the richest men on this island of about 40 square miles lying between- two other hard-hit islands, Hatia and Bhola. MONEY SPURNED The people turned down offers of 500-rupee notes, more money than an East Pakistani farmer sees in a year. "What can we buy with money?" asked Kamaluddin. "We are not beggars.

We feel shy to ask for help but what can we do? "We're eating rotten rice which has fallen into our ponds, collecting and drying it. We are not cooking it in our pond water. It gives a bad smell. We burn the rotten rice and eat it. "In the southern part of the island there are people who have iFrom Page Onil locked b'ut when they returned, they found the.

back door open. Another seardh led to the finding of the secret oompartment. Referring to the oversight in not finding the hiding place in the first search, Mr. Choquette said he had every reason to believe "that this place was particularly well hidden. There was no reason to believe people could hide in that secret compartment." The justice minister said that although police had not been entirely successful in their investigations of the kidnappings so far, this wos no time to criticize them.

He described as a statement by Prime Minister Trudeau in' the Commons Nov. 10 in which Mr. Trudeau said the failure of police investigations was. part of the reason for the invocation of the War Measures Act. Mr.

Cho quette said the remark -could have affected police Mr-Trudeau later explained that police were dealing with an entirely new situation. They had not been trained to combat this type of problem.

We have no food, no cattle, nothing. "We have no relief. No high official has come. Nobody has corn." The tidal wave had a cold luminous glow that Kamaluddin said reminded him of the flickering light of an unfocused television tube. Pakistan Need Urgent The Pakistan Observer, an Independent daily owned by former foreign minister Hamidul Huq Choudhury, claimed "relief goods arriving from foreign countries 'remain dumped in Dacca as no carrier is available to airdrop them.

Therefore, relief has not reached thousands of surrvivors in the offshore islands even six days after the disaster." A high Pakistan official said today disease and starvation' "could wipe out another half a million people in the ravaged areas unless massive aid 'provided quickly. Dozens of small islands in the Bay of Bengal were still untouched by relief workers.

The note was received by a French-language radio station Monday.

Civilization Forecast Unless KINGSTON, RI (AP) A Harvard biochemist says civilization will end within 15 to 30 years, unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind. Dr. George Wald, a Nobel Prize winner, said in a speech at the University of Rhode Island Monday pollution, overpopulation and the possibility of nuclear war are "overwhelmingly threatening." Wald said he favors cheap contraception "and abortion in the world" in order to slow population growth. He caHed it "utterly meaningless and bankrupt" to believe that merely increasing food production is an answer to growing population. "The problem is quality of life and that quality has already deteriorated within fhis-century.

Wo are already over-populated ho said. "It washed away most people and then washed back 90 per cent of them," he added. Many corpses of those washed back lay on the beaches. "How many -will we bury?" asked Kamaluddin. "We have buried hundreds, yet hundreds remain unburied, unattended." Hundreds saved themselves from the water that struck the bazaar, a quarter mile inland, by clinging to palm trees.

Others survived in the second stdreys of houses. CLING TO TREES like J'adu La, 15, still showed the raw flesh rubbed from arms and. chest while clinging to trees during the blast of the 150-mile-an-hour winds and waves. Modan Mohan Shaha, 18, said he was swept to sea clinging to a bamboo pole that saved his life. Ziaul Huq said he.

too, was swept to sea but kept afloat on an earthenware jug. MacDonalcJ Wins Nomination TORONTO (CP) Donald MacDonald, who resigned last month as leader of the Ontario New Democratic Party, was unopposed Tuesday night in win ning his party's nomination for York South, the riding he has represented since 1955. Mr. MacDonald 56, said he was ready and waiting for the provincial election expected next year. He has contested four elections in his riding and won each with comfortable Arms Ban Approval Expected UNITED NATIONS (tP) The UN General Assembly's political committee was expected to give approval today to a res olution calling for a halt in' de velopment of new nuclear weapons, but delegates doubted that the United States and Soviet Union would support it.

The resolution was introduced by the 12 so-called non-aligned members of the Geneva disarmament committee. It expressed belief that suspension of nuclear weapon development would improve prospects for success in the strategic arms limitation talks that the United States and Soviet Union are holding. Both the U.S. and Soviet Union abstained last year on an-X otTier resolution calling on them i to agree in the SALT talks to a i moratorium on testing and deployment of new nuclear weapons systems. The committee gave over whelming approval Tuesday to a draft treaty to ban nuclear weapons- from the ocean floor.

The 'treaty is a triumph for Canada and other small countries.

He suggested thtat Robi- nette's argument would, if sue cessful, threaten the validity of many Canadian statutes. The powers of attorneys-general were traditionally very flexible, he said. For example in the case of a killing the Crown decided whether the charge would bt- murder or manslaughter.
