The statement said North Vietnamese populated areas were "shaken as if by a violent earthquake (and) thousands of civilians were killed and wounded." Hanoi delegation spokesman Nguyen Thanh Le charged the U.S. bomber fleet has dropped 50,000 tons of bombs on North Vietnam's main cities since President Nixon ordered the offensive to be launched Dec.18. That amount is the equal of 2 to Hiroshima type atomic bombs. The new protest against the U.S. air war came as direct contacts between the North Vietnamese and U.S.

Before the last rites in the library auditorium, thousands of the common folk rich and poor, famous and unknown, workers wearing dungarees and aprons and men and women carrying babies filed slowly and silently by his mahogany casket in tribute. In death, as in life, Truman's desire for simplicity prevailed. He believed that man provided his own dignity and that pageantry was not needed. His state funeral, embellished only with military flourishes, taps and a 21-gun salute, still was a modest tribute from a grateful nation to a courageous leader.

A memorial service is planned next week in Washington's National Cathedral as a final gesture to the tough, little Missourian. Some of the old doughboys who served under "Captain INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (UPI) In a simple funeral fitting for the common man he was, America said goodbye today to Harry Truman. After the 20-minute last rites, the nation's 33rd President was buried in the ground he loved, near the rose garden in the courtyard of the Truman Library. Bess Truman, his aging widow and helpmate for more than half a century, was there to say a final farewell to her beloved Harry.

And about 220 relatives and close friends who knew and loved him as companion and neighbor, said goodbye, too, at the plain, private service. There was no pomp because Truman disdained it. There were no eulogies. There was only prayer. "Most merciful Father, who has been pleased to take unto Thyself the soul of Thy servant, Harry, grant to us who are still in our pilgrimage, and who walk as yet by faith, that having served thee with constancy on earth, we may be joined hereafter with Thy blessed saints in glory everlasting," said the Rev.

H. Lembcke v. U.S. Army hospitals were working overtime to treat victims of the quake. Army medics said many had waited so long for medical aid that gangrene had set in and many amputations were necessary.

The army tents were in the open, swept by dust filled winds, and it was difficult to keep instruments sterile. There were long lines of persons waiting in line to be inoculated against typhoid and other diseases. The national radio broadcast constant warnings for people to take the shots. MANAGUA, Nicaragua (UPI) The National Guard sealed off the downtown area of Managua today to prevent people from returning to the still burning area where hull-dozers were covering the decomposed bodies of the victims of last Saturday's earthquake. There had been some looting and people who refused to leave the 320-square-block area that is to be leveled were reported drinking contaminated water.

However authorities said there was no sign of an epidemic of disease they had feared.

In a separate mishap Wednesday in north Lehi, a six-year-old child was killed when he darted in front of a car. (See separate story below.) The fatality in Juab County involved a 53-year-old Minnesota woman whose name was withheld pending notification of next of kin.

WASHINGTON (UPI) -Administration officials indicate "Phase III" of President Nixon's economic program may see the dropping of rent controls next year and changes in the profit margin rule disliked by business. President Nixon has said he wants some form of continued stabilization authority when the present Economic Stabilization Act expires April 30, and officials emphasized that Nixon will have the final word on the shape of the redesigned wage-price controls. The administration has been gathering suggestions from business, labor, consumers, congressmen and its own stabilization officials for the past two weeks. A sense of the thinking of most participants was revealed by the briefers, Herbert Stein, chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, said pro Harry" in Battery during World War I were at the funeral.

They stood with the stiffest military posture that age would allow. The casket was covered with red, white and blue carnations Truman's favorite flower. He was buried in his favorite blue pin-striped suit and wore his famed wire-rimmed glasses. This was the chosen prayer for the funeral: "I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord. He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.

And whoever liveth and believeth in me, shall never die." Thousands of persons the rich and poor, the famous and unknown, workers wearing dungarees and aprons and men and women carrying babies filed slowly by his closed casket to say goodbye earlier in the day at the Truman Library. the 21-hour period during which the body of the 33rd President lay in state ended at noon EST and the catafalque was moved 150 feet to the auditorium of the Truman Library for the funeral. Truman himself seated the burial spot in the grassy courtyard of the library. He looked out at it often from the glass wall of his library office where he spent his last years happily surrounded by his White House momentos. "I want to be buried out there so I can get up and waik into my office if I want to," he once told Army funeral planners.

In deference to the last rites, there was no mail delivery across the nation on the national day of mourning and the New York and American stock exchanges were closed. Mrs. Truman did not go to (Continued On Page 2) George P. Shultz also suggested that reducing coverage of the controls would improve the efficiency of the government stabilization program and eliminate essentially nonproductive paper work for many businesses. A senior official of the Cost of Living Council, who asked not to be identified, said the business profit margin rule "has got to change." This regulation, widely criticized in the business community, limits profit margins (profits as a percentage of sales) for companies who boost prices to the average of the best two of the last three fiscal years.

Businessmen have argued that this base period is no longer realistic. More important, most observers concede that the rule encourages wasteful spending by companies who are bumping against their profit margin ceilings. The stubborn rise in food prices, spurred by heavy consumer demand and the fact that prices at the farm level are uncontrolled, has been the biggest headache for the economic controllers. Shultz indicated the government would continue to explore ways to increase food supply. On the legislative side, Shultz said there was merit in asking Congress simply to extend the present stabilization act one more year.

Anything the administration expects to propose in the new control program could be carried out under provisions of the existing act, Shultz said. Nixons Return to Washington WASHINGTON (UPI) -President Nixon planned a liet day in the White House today while the nation mourned the passing of former President Harry Truman. Nixon, accompanied by his wife, flew to Independence, Wednesday where he laid a wreath at the foot of Truman's casket in the Truman Library and met with the former President's widow, daughter and grandsons. (See picture on P. 11.) The Nixons flew back to Washington Wednesday evening.

Nixon invited Mrs. Truman, her daughter and son-in-law and their four sons to stay at Blair House in Washington for the memorial service for Truman scheduled at Washington's National Cathedral Jan. 5. Nixon did not stay in Independence for today's funeral rites because the services are private. The President earlier proclaimed today an official day of mourning for Truman.

Government offices were ordered closed. Regular mail deliveries were suspended for the day. BANGKOK (UPI) -Four Palestinian guerrillas seized the Israeli Embassy today and threatened to blow it up with six hostages unless Israel released Arab guerrillas held in prison there. But tonight they agreed to leave the country under a safe conduct guarantee. Air Chief Marshal Cliullasa-pya Dawee, a ranking member of the government, made the announcement after he and Egyptian Ambassador Mustaffa El Tawi entered the cordoned off embassy building and pleaded with the guerrillas to free the hostages.

The guerrillas identified themselves as the Black September Organization which carried out the massacre of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics and said it was responsible for the massacre at the Lod International airport in Tel Aviv in which Japanese gunmmen shot and killed a score of persons. It was not immediately clear if the guerrillas had agreed to release the six hostages in return for the safe conduct. Dawee emerged from the embassy at 10:35 p.m., more than 10 hours after the guerrillas, armed with automatic weapons, took it over. They threatened death to the Israelis inside if their demands for release of guerrillas held prisoner in Israel were not met by 8 a.m. Friday (8 p.m.

EST today). "For the sake of the king and Thailand they have agreed to leave the country," said Dawee who is agriculture minister and an influential member of the military controlled government.

Officials Ponder New City Center Extension Provo city has occupied the new city center only a little over six months, but officials are talking about extensions already. Mayor Verl G. Dixon said in commission meeting Wednesday, "If the present trend continues, we will have to add two stories of office space about two years from now." Commissioner Ray Murdock said it was his understanding that the new building was supposed to be able to accommodate the city for 20 years when the design was approved. The mayor said the best place for the office annex would be in the south courtyard.

The city was warned that it should file a water user claim in the action if it had not done so. These claims are already on file with the state engineer for Provo, according to Mr.

Maxfield. Water rights in the Utah Lake, Jordan River drainage area date back to the Morse decree which was issued in 1921, he said. The decree was issued after hearings and cases dating from 1914. At that time, summer irrigation water was the most important, and no one was very concerned with winter Hows, Mr. Maxfield went on.

Now these flows are very important, and it is often difficult to determine who has the right to store this water, he said. "The thing I resent about this situation is that the big enterprises with an interest in "The most significiant water action case you will see in our generation." Provo attorney Richard L. Maxfield said he agreed with the mayor's estimation. He explained that the general review has become desirable because of the complexity of determining water rights of users lower down on streams and water reservoirs in the area. He said the investigation will involve seven counties and the engineer will make judgments on the right to all of the water in the Utah Lake, Jordan River drainage basin.

The counties involved are Utah, Salt Lake, Davis, Summit, Wasatch, Sanpete and Juab. Mr. Maxfield explained that the action is rooted in a case which was heard in the Third District Court a number of years ago.

The state engineer's office has announced that a complete review of water rights will involve all underground and surface water.

Mayor Verl G. Dixon of Provo Wednesday that this will be water rights in the drainage areas. In May of this year, a hearing was held to determine exactly what was required of the engineer. The judge outlined the procedure he wished followed in the form of an order, Mr. Maxfield said.

Since then the engineer has had hydrologists in the basins examining water availability, and the way it is used. In notification to Provo Wednesday, the state engineer A 1 1 i.
