The number of suspicious packages under painstaking scrutiny was disclosed today by sources at Scotland Yard, which warned the nation: "Beware of bombs in the next few days." Londoners were particularly jittery and flooded police with alarm calls about suspect letters and packages. No explosives were found. The House of Commons, ringed by massive security measures. Scotland Yard said it received 100 calls an hour after commuters poured into the city to resume work after a threeday holiday, The callers were agitated by police warnings that they were likely to be hit again by terrorist bombers, believed to be extremists of the Irish Republican Army.

They planted 30 explosive devices in the British capital last week. Few of these ignited, but those that did wounded three persons. No bombs have been found since Saturday. Security chiefs were persons. No bombs have been found since Saturday vinced, however, that the biggest danger was "a large number" of deadly letter bombs they believed were among the estimated 10 million items of mail that accumulated over the holiday for delivery today.

The only letter bomb reported Tuesday was one intercepted in the British Embassy in Paris. It had been mailed in London and was similar to those that caused the casualties in London last week, This one, however, did not explode.

Dedication ceremonies this morning opened the last link in Interstate 90's 294 mile stretch across Washington state. The 26.2-mile newly-complet. ed section cost $16 million. Work began on the project in August 1971 with eight major contracts. Principal speaker at the dedication was George Andrews, director of the Washington State Highway Department.

Construction company officials, highway engineers and local and State Patrol officials took part in the dedication rites. The road was opened to traffic after ceremonies at which a piece of 'yellow tape was removed from a portion of the white center line. The yellow tape was placed in an oversize litter bag held by Thomas G. Haggerty, eastern regional manager for the state Department of Ecology. Hag.

gerty said, "This is the only litter-free highway in the state. Lets all work to keep it that way." The bag was presented to the first motorist to travel westbound on the new section after traffic was diverted from the old highway. The new road is expected to reduce travel time between Seattle and Spokane by be. tween 15 and 30 minutes, according to the state Highway Department.

The figure was expected to increase considerably as reports filtered in from hard-hit towns and villages in the quake belt reaching from Puebla eastward to Veracruz. Communication with many communities in the area was cut off.

Intensity Measured The earthquake, measured variously at 5.5 an 6.5 on the Richter scale, hit Mexico when it was already suffering front severe floods and a hurricane which have killed 70 people and damaged the homes of 400,000 others in the past month. Reports from the quake. stricken states of Puebla, Veracruz and Oaxaca south of Mexico City indicated a mounting toll as rescue workers reported to their headquarters and word of damage reached populated areas. Police and Red Cross units In Puebla, about 80 miles southeast of Mexico Ciy, reported deaths in that city as well as in nearby villages. A Red Cross ambulance driver reported 40 killed in the village of Quecholac, 25 miles east of Puebla.

The Pakistanis were taken during the December 1971 India-Pakistan war fought over the creation of Bangladesh in what had been the eastern wing of Pakistan. Their continued detention by India was the chief stumbling block to final settlement of the war. The text of the agreement to release them, signed after 11 days of bargaining, was not immediately released. Sources from both sides said, however, that It covered all the main humanitarian problems still left from the war. ri re 41, LI 4 I 0 curlief I el, tl stms By GORDON It.

COE Assistant to Managing Editor 6nolmM.mimit i is, I ,) Shape Up PARK CITY, Utah (AP) Faulty fire hydrants and a temporary lack of water hampered firemen here Monday night in controlling a raging fire that destroyed five buildings and extensively damaged several others. No serious injuries were reported, but authorities said one fireman suffered smoke inhalation and was treated at the scene. Tom Sullivan, Park City fire chief, said damage could exceed $200,000. Firemen Complain Sullivan said the fire, which consumed the mostly wooden structures, could have been extinguished quickly by the city's volunteer fire department if three fire hydrants had worked properly. Ile said firemen complained that the first three hydrants they tried failed to work.

A call for help went out to fire-fighting units at Kailas, Coalville, licher City, Salt Lake County, and elsewhere, Sullivan said. Park city is a tiny resort community west of Salt Lake City known primarily for its skiing facilities and summer drama presentations. Sullivan said the destroyed buildings were on the west side of Main Street and included these firms: First Se. curity Bank, The Poison Creek Drugstore, Just Rings, the Park Record newspaper office, and My Favorite Things, a clothing store, Fire also damaged the Summit County attorney's office, a private residence, the Old Community Church and Gardner Realty, he said. 11Side ,4, K's do.

For instance, Earl IL Fisher, officer in charge of the Spokane subdistrict of the Seattle office of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. has 29 persons, including seven women, to staff the subdistrict office in the U.S. Court House here and eight Canadian border posts in Eastern Washington.

The Customs Service has three in the Spokane office and about 15 in the border posts. The border posts inchtde Oroville; which is kept open 24 hours a day; Meta line Falls, Frontier and Laurier, open 16 hours a day from 8 a.m. to midnight: Danville, open 12 hours a day in the winter and 14 in the summer, and Ferry, Nighthawk and Bound ar y. open eight hours a day. Inspectioms Dual To do this, all the posts except Ferry, which is manned solely by customs, and Boundary, manned solely by immigration, have what is called dual inspection, That means that customs Inspectors are authorized to do not only their own job of checking baggage and mer and 1966 apprehended 110 to 120 illegal aliens a year in this area, while in the fiscal year just ended the total was 1,300.

Numbers Soar In 1965, he added, Immigration inspected 7,000 persons in this area but last year it was 23,000. The number of aircraft inspected has risen from 918 in 1971 to 1,189 in 1973. Even naturalization petitions rose from '269 in 1971 to 281 in fisd cal 1973 and adjudications (applications for various extend sions such as student or visitor stays or petitions by U.S. citizens for immigration of re latives) have risen from 1,700 here in 1965 to 3,000 in 1973. All this is being wpmplished with the same staff the office had 10 years ago, Fisher said.

And just in case you thought that immigration Inspectors at border posts have nothing to do on those long winter days when not too many visitors cross the border, Fisher explains: "That's when the Inspectors work on adjudications sent to them for processing by not only their own district but from other districts throughout the country." tion is carried even further in the inspection of small planes and their passengers who land here from foreign countries, mostly Canada. Customs and Immigration trade off that job every two weeks. Airports Switch Off Incidentally, Felts Field is the official aerial port of entry for this area for small planes but the federal officials often are at Spokane International Airport anyway checking out airline or charter passengers and they then ask the small planes to land at Spokane International to get the customs and immigration clearance out of the way sooner, Fisher explained. But with the airlines and charter flights that involve larger numbers of people, both customs and immigration inspectors work at the same time. Customs people estimate their work in Spokane is up more than 200 per cent in the past 10 years, while Fisher said immigration's business here in some cases is up even more in the same time.

For instance, he said, immigration investigators in 193 Think back. The last time you went through U.S. customs at a point on the Canadian border, did you deal with a man In the blue-gray uniform of an immigration Inspector or the dark blue of the Customs Service? Chances are you can't remember. And so thorough is the cooperation between the two that it doesn't matter even though customs is an agency of the Treasury Department and immigration is in the Justice Department. People who criticize various federal agencies for duplication and petty jealousies that waste tax money aren't talking about the Customs Service or the Immigration and Naturalization Servlee, which also includes the brown-uniformed Border Patrol and immigration gators, who don't wear tint.
