Some of the seriously injured were taken to distant hospitals by helicopter. Four camps were set up for the homeless survivors. More than 6.000 tents were distributed by the military authorities, together with blankets, clothing and emergency food supplies.

Throughout the city, electricity, water supplies, telephones and sewers were cut and officials said they could give no estimate of how long it would take to restore them. There were reports of serious damage and heavy casualties in mountain villages between Al Asnam and the Mediterranean coast, but highways and bridges suffered extensively and many of the villages remained cut off from the outside world. Al Asnam 's four-story hospital was a near-ruin. Several high-rise apartment blocks, built to house low-income families left homeless by the 1954 quake, were demolished. The city's largest hotel, the Chelif Hotel, was wrecked and its concrete roof lay at ground level.

Rescuers said some 350 guests and staff were believed to have died in the building. One rescuer said some victims were freed after trapped limbs were removed in emergency amputations with knives or axes, without anesthetic. "Everything happened so quickly," said a survivor of the 1954 and 1980 quakes. "It was all over within six seconds. The dogs didn't even have time to bark.

"I just had time to grab my wife and run clear as our house collapsed. But our children were trapped inside. I don't know if they are alive or dead, but no sound has come from the ruins," he said, wiping tears from his eyes. Other survivors said the first and most devastating shock was followed by more than 20 others that continued at intervals until Saturday morning. Many families could be seen burying their dead in the Moslem cemeteries on the edge of town.

International relief efforts were under way. The League of Red Cross Societies in Geneva said 15 national Red Cross or Red Crescent agencies had responded to appeals for assistance. Anthony Murdoch, league information director, said West Germany and Britain planned to send aircraft with emergency supplies and the Swiss Air Rescue Service, renowned for life-saving missions in the Alps, sent a team and specially trained avalanche dogs. The Richter scale is a measure of ground motion registered on seismographs. A quake registering 7 is a "major" earthquake, capable of widespread heavy damage; 8 is a "great" quake, capable of tremendous damage.

Alaska (AP) The luxury liner Prinsendam rolled on its side and sank Saturday in the stormy Gulf of Alaska, exactly one week after a fire ravaged the cruise ship and forced one of the must dramatic sea rescues in history. A lone lifeboat and a little debris were left behind to mark the spot. No one was aboard when the Dutch liner went down 76 miles southwest of Sitka, Alaska, in neat ly 9.000 feet of water. The 427-foot ship sank at 9:30 a.m. PDT, just three minutes after rolling over in heavy seas, according to Coast Guard Lt.

E.K. DeLong. The Prinsendam went to the bottom as the Dutch Shipping Inspectorate was beginning an inquiry in New Jersey into the causes of the fire that disabled the vessel. Prinsendam Capt. Cornelius Wabeke watched from a nearby Coast Guard cutter as the ship went down.

Just one week earlier he gave the order for more than 500 passengers and crew to abandon ship after a fire broke out in the engine room and spread to the dining room. All the passengers and crew were rescued after some spent as long as 20 hours huddled in small lifeboats tossed by 25-foot seas. Doctors later said several of the elderly passengers were within an hour of death when they were plucked from lifeboats. No oil spills were immediately spotted after the ship sank, but Coast Guard helicopters and the cutter Mellon were sent to inspect the area. Coast Guard Cmdr.

Henry D. Jacoby said. The Prinsendam's fuel tanks have a capacity, and they were thought to be nearly full because the ship was on the first leg of a voyage to the Orient, Jacoby said State officials said they were worried that water pressure would force the fuel tanks to break up, causing pollution in an area rich with marine life. Endangered humpback whales school nearby, and more than 1.000 sea otters live along the coast near Sitka, in addition to a wealth of shellfish, according to stale Department of Fish and Game officials. The Prinsendam had been under tow but was listing from the effect of water that rolled in through portholes blown out by the fire.

It sank while awaiting the arrival of "a secpnd tugboat to help pull it into a sheltered fiord south of Sitka in southeastern Alaska, where crews had hoped to pump out the water. But as 20-foot seas and high winds battered the Prinsendam through the night, its condition grew worse, until the weight of the water rolled it over and pulled it to the bottom. xRed Rosie' Released From Irish Prison By JANE SEE WHITE Associated Press Writer lt all began 50 years ago in a Massachusetts inn. Ruth Wakefield was tinkering in her kitchen, trying to invent a chocolate cookie. She failed and created an American obsession.

Mrs. Wakefield figured she would get a chocolate cookie if she chopped up a chocolate bar and mixed the morsels with "Butter Drop Do" cookie batter. What came out of her oven instead was a buttery cookie laced with chocolate chips. She tasted what she had done and she deemed it good. So the Whitman.

innkeeper named her invention after her inn: the Toll House Cookie. She knew not what she had wrought. In the half century since Mrs. Wakefield's kitchen alchemy, the United States has grown into a nation of chocolate chip cookie monsters. Market researchers report that three of every five cookies eaten in this country are yes, chocolate chip cookies.

They are hawked from carts on urban streotcorners and displayed alongside truffles in the gourmet sections of elegant stores. They come crisp in bags and chewy in boxes. They can be purchased uncooked, but ready to slice and bake, in tubes. They're sold fresh in uncounted hundreds of cookie shops across the nation. A giant-size, gourmet chocolate chip cookie may cost $1 or more.

But the best, always, are the ones Mother makes preferably eaten while the chocolate is still warm and gooey. "I always take Toll House cookies to my daughter who's away at boarding school," said Alexis Shantz. spokesman for Nestle, the chocolate morsel maker and owner of the Toll House trademark. "When they see me coining with the cookies, all her friends come running up." Nestle which is presiding over the Toll House cookie's 50th birthday with television and magazine ads, figures that if the 7 billion Toll House cookies Americans bake each year were laid end to end, they would stretch 210,000 miles 10 times around the Earth. And that's not counting the varities of non-Toll House chocolate chip cookies that came along after word got out about Mrs.

Wakefield's momentous discovery with different batters, with or without nuts and, sometimes, with extra touches like, say. coconut. Among the famous who are chocolate chip cookie fans are Diana Ross, Olivia Newton-John, John Denver and Carol Burnett. The cookies have played bit parts in movies: In "Outlaw Blues," for instance, Peter Fonda had a scene where he snacked on a bag of "Famous Amos" chocolate chip cookies. It took just four years for "Famous" Wally Amos a 45-year-old former entertainment manager who handled, amqng others, the Supremes and Temptations to parlay his Aunt Delia's recipe into a $4 million chocolate chip cookie empire.

Amos has said that when he bakes his cookies, he talks to them. Burry's chocolate chip cookies were rumored briefly and falsely to be the only item whose cost was measured in the "baked goods" part of the federal government's inflation measure, the Consumer Price Index. There is a chocolate chip cookie in the CPI. but it's not the only baked good surveyed, said Pat Jackman of the Bureau of Labor Statistics in Washington. At Entenmann's the New York family bakery that's expanded west to Chicago, south to Miami and points in between chocolate chip is "by far our most popular cookie," said product manager Martin Randisi.

Entenmann's aims for chewy cookies. Burry's are more crisp. So are Nabisco's "Chips Ahoy" which are, incidentally, touted by Nabisco spokesman Caroline Fee as "the largest selling chocolate chip cookie in the world." No, she added, Nabisco doesn't export Chips Ahoy. But they sell that well right here in the United States. Chocolate chip is just one among six flavors of Pillsbury "slice and bake" cookies.

But more than half the slice and bake cookies sold are chocolate chip, said Pillsbury spokesman Marlene Johnson. Mrs. Wakefield's inn, by the way. is still open in Whitman, Mass. Now known as the Toll House Restaurant, its kitchen still offers the house specialty.

It's hard to find anyone who doesn't love chocolate chip cookies. But it can be done. The cook at the Cookie a retail cookie shop in Manhattan, was asked why chocolate chip cookies are his biggest seller: "I don't know. I don't eat cookies. I'm a cook." he said.

"I ride my bike. I eat salads. I don't eat sweet things." parole, Gallagher could be freed some time in 1988.
