Sultan Mahmood, the chief air force vice marshal, said after touring the area that a 60-mile strip from Noakhali to the islands of Pirbkhsh and Char Clark had been ravaged. Except for cyclone shelters, he did not see any houses standing. Residents told Mahmood that 6,000 islanders were missing, he said. At least 50,000 families have lost their homes in Noakhali, Mahmood said.

(J Jn New York, Bangladesh's consul general to the United Nations called the cyclone damage "severe, not only inJiuman terms but in damage to the Jountry." "This means that the resources spent on development activities will now have to be at least partly diverted for relief and rehabilitation activities and that would mean, for a little-developed country like Bangladesh, a serious setback," said Anwarul Karim Chowdhury. Bangladesh is a nation of about 95 million and 100 million people. At 55,598 square miles, it is roughly the size of Wisconsin. It is one of the poorest nation's in the world, with per capita income of $105. As the weather cleared today, ships began plucking survivors from the of the Bay of Bengal.

Three 'navy vessels rescued about 300 people, and two commercial vessels picked up 22 people, about 80 miles from their homes on Sandwip Island. About 4,000 people have been rescued from the sea so far. 2'There may be hundreds of people Still in the sea who could be rescued," said a reporter in the area. Government officials said at least 10 fishing boats with 80 people aboard were missing, but a fishermen's association said 500 boats with more than 2,000 crew members were at sea when the cyclone struck.

Ferraro also mentioned the criticism of her posture and clothes "Let me say now, once and for all, I agree that I should have kept my head up more" and the magic of getting the nomination in San Francisco "Everywhere I went people would be saying, Go for it, Although the pressure of the campaign was intense, said Ferraro, the support she received from women throughout the country made it worthwhile. "What happened that Wednesday night didnt just change American politics," said Ferraro. "It changed the face of the country." After receiving a standing ovation at the breakfast, Ferraro retired to a news conference, where she elaborated on the meaning of her candidacy. Although she isn't sure she wants to go through another presidential campaign, said Ferraro, her campaign will make it easier for women in the future. She expects women to run in presidential primaries in 1988, and ticked off a list including Kentucky Gov.

Martha Layne Collins; VS. Rep. Patricia Schroeder, and VS. Sen. Nancy Kassebaum, a Republican from Kansas.

Former U.N. representative Jeane Kirkpatrick would also make a good candidate, said Ferraro, although "she might have trouble doing the things you have to do to run." Although the Mondale-Ferraro ticket was badly beaten, she is sure her candidacy did not hurt the Democrats' chances for victory. On the contrary, argued Ferraro, her nomination meant "the Democratic Party now has 20,000 contributors it never had before," and brought $6 million into the party's coffers.

Rivera recommended that Hall and Botza be considered for a civilian award, Madden said. Madden warned, however, that "it's not worth ending up in the hospital for a couple hundred dollars." Because Dandrige, who is crosseyed, matched the description of a man who held up another cabbie on Thursday, he was booked for investigation of both robberies, Madden said. In the earlier stick-up, a man flagged a cab at 8th and Market streets about 11:10 p.m. and asked to go to 400 Mullen Madden said. In that case, and a similar taxi cab robbery last Monday, the robber drove off with the cab as well as cash.

Holiday deaths run ahead of '84 SACRAMENTO (AP) The California Highway Patrol reported 42 Bangladeshj3 Calcutta 1 A hurricane in April 1977 killed more than 600 people. In 1978, a violent spring storm in the Bay of Bengal sank 100 boats and killed 1,000 people. Bangladesh is also susceptible to river flooding. According to a 1984 estimate by the International Institute for Environment and Development, Bangladesh had an estimated 30 million people "essentially living in a river basin" vulnerable to flooding. Last year, the nation was swept by four major floods, which killed about 1,160 people and inundated 15 million acres of land.

An estimated 590,000 dwellings were damaged or destroyed, 5 million acres of rice crops were damaged, and 71,400 head of cattle were lost size of Wisconsin, causing an estimated $3 billion in damage. The worst hurricane to hit Bangladesh occurred on Nov. 11-12, 1970, while the nation was still known as East Pakistan. On those two days, a hurricane struck across the Ganges Delta. The official death toll was listed at 300,000, but according to the Guinness Book of World Records, the Office of the Atomic Energy Authority Center in Dacca said that 1 million people were killed in the storm, which devastated the delta islands of Char jabbar, Hatia, Bhola and Ramagatl That was the worst, but there have been other weather disasters.

Shiite Moslem militiamen from the Amal (Hope) organization, backed by elements of the Shiite-dominated 6th Brigade, first attacked the camps on May 19.

The camps under siege are Sabra, Chatila and Bourj Bourajneh. Yesterday, the British Broadcasting the Sunday Times of London and other correspondents said witnesses reported seeing Palestinians shot indiscriminantly by Shiite captors and grenades being thrown at wounded Palestinians in hospitals.

But, he cautioned, be a little too cold for Associated Press Bangladesh, where thousands are feared to have died in a weekend hurricane, has been struck many times before by the powerful, circular storms. It also was the site of the world's worst weather disaster. Geography plays a large part in the unusual magnitude of the country's weather-related disasters. Bangladesh's sea-level terrain, dominated by the Ganges River delta, offers no refuge from storm waves generated by the region's powerful tropical cyclones. Tidal flooding is common, leading to the loss of thousands of lives in the storms.

Since 1960, at least 17 hurricanes have hit the nation, which is about the had seen Amal militiamen and soldiers of the Lebanese army's predominantly Shiite 6th Brigade kill more than 45 Palestinians, including wounded soldiers, in and around the Gaza Hospital in Sabra on Wednesday. Hundreds of Palestinians were massacred by Christian militiamen during the Israeli invasion in September 1982. One, who identified himself only as a Lebanese Moslem, said he also saw Palestinian guerrillas kill some wounded comrades to prevent their capture by the Shiites. The other witness, who said she was from the Chatila camp, said a Palestinian nurse was bayoneted when she protested the shooting of a wounded man. She also said a teen-age girl and her wounded brother were shot and killed in the ninestory hospital.

There was no independent confirmation of the hospital killings. Shiites turned back at gunpoint reporters who tried to enter the facility. The male witness said most of the 45 victims were killed in two groups, but because the uniforms of the militiamen and soldiers of the 6th Brigade are similar, he could not determine who as responsible. A group of 15 wounded men was removed from the hospital, taken to a spot near the Imam Alai mosque and killed by seven or eight gunmen who "stood over them, firing until they emptied the magazines of their rifles," said the witness. He said he saw the killings from an apartment building overlooking the hospital and nearby streets.

After that, the uniformed men shot to death about 25 people, including some civilians, behind a house near the hospital, he said. friend and left They were lured by a strange blend of religion, philosophy and astrology from The Two. The couple quoted the Bible intimately, urged believers to shed material desires and all contact with their worldly past, Including spouses, children, alcohol, sex and money. And they promised those who succeeded a passport to a higher plane of existence. It was the method of transport that hooked all the attention: by UFO.

The Two, who claimed to have unworldly origins and a longevity counted in thousands of years, predicted they would be killed "within months" for their beliefs, resurrected in 34 days, and would return for their true followers in spacecraft to take them to a better place.

The media stories suddenly stopped, and the followers, who were scattered across the country In pairs to recruit drifted back to their homes or picked up their lives elsewhere.
