Case tion channel with much of tha stricken area. Landslides blocked roads, bridges were down, and fog rolled in over mountain passes, making air access almost impossible. The government issued a communique Monday night stating that "given the magnitude of the catastrophe, it is estimated that the number of dead and injured is high." But officials were holding down the official death count to avoid panic. The disaster hit the central and northern reaches of Peru and covered the largest area affected by any Peruvian quake in memory. The area includes 10 states with a population of about 6 million.

LIMA, Peru (AP) The Peruvian government rushed aid Tuesday to the 600-mile stretch of coastline devastated by a massive earthquake over tha weekend. The confirmed death toll passed 1,000, and officials expressed fear that as many as 30.000 may have died. The quake Sunday afternoon lasted only 40 seconds, but destroyed thousands of buildings and almost totally demolished a number of towns. Pilots of military observation planes reported entire villages "erased from the map" by earth slides or floods from Andean mountain lakes. Official figures put the number of known dead at 630 in Huaraz, 175 miles north of medical supplies.

Huaraz then will serve as a center of relief operations for the surrounding area. The navy training ship Independence was sailing Tuesdoy to Chimbote to serve as a hospital ship for that area. The navy cruiser Bolognesi, which took President Juan Ve-lasco to Chimbote Monday night, was returning to Lima with 300 injured persons. A battalion of army engineers was en route by road to begin removing rubble from highways and rebuilding bridges. Army communications men were setting up a radio network to replace the ham operators who have been the only communica Lima, and at 200 at the port town of Chimbote, some 35 miles to the northwest.

Reports from dozens of other Peruvian cities raised the confirmed total of dead to more than 1,000. Government spokesmen said more than 200.000 persons were homeless; with winter setting in the Andes, there was fear of pneumonia and other illness as sleet and rain plagued those seeking shelter. Twenty army paratroopers from Lima were to be dropped Tuesday into Huaraz, a city of 22,000 high in the Andes that suffered 95 per cent destruction in the quake. After the paratroopers established communications, more air drops were to deliver provisions, doctors and Bismarck Case Due for Retrial Upheld! y- Ef 'i M. 14 xh4 I 'tr, High Court Overturns District Ruling Creameries Seek Another Milk Price Hike -11 rf i i i-- Mill II OTP JL By The Associated Press District Judge M.

The processors all said a recent contract with the Teamsters Union increased operating costs.

They said pending a verbal agreement now in effect, union covered inside workers and drivers will receive 20 cents an hour retroactive to June 1 and an additional eight cents an hour Dec. 1 of this year.

MERRY-GO-ROUND Some 331 motorists discovered a new pastime on Memorial Day weekend. Friday and Saturday Bismarck Parkade manager Bob Frazier left the entrance open to the new parking facility here so motorists could drive through and familiarize themselves with the procedure. And at least 331 did so, because that was the amount officially tallied on the counters, which probably came up with a short count as they quit working for a while.

MEMORIAL DAY Kenny Kohler got out of the hospital late last week and faced a formidable task in mowing his rather large lawn at 1014 14th St. However, Kenny worried needlessly, for the job was done for him on Memorial 'Day by neighbor Walt Flemmer and his son Kenny, even though the families aren't closely acquainted.

MAY SAY May produced average mean temperatures 1.6 degrees below normal here, but even so it was the first such month since 1948 that the mercury hasn't at least once dipped below 32 degrees. The coldest reading this May was 32 recorded on the 2nd, 4th and 5th. In 1948 the minimum reading was a 33. However in the "thirsty 30's" 1939-36-35-34 and '32 produced Mays without reading below freezing. The maximum reading this May was 90 on the 17th, the only one above the 80's during the month.

This meant that the date of the last below-freezing temperature was a 28 on April 23rd, some 18 days ahead of the normal final frost date of May 11. Precipitation during May totaled 2.32 inches, .35 of an inch greater than normal and not including any snow. We had 12 days of .01 or more, nine exceeding .10, and .51 fell in 24 hours over the 30th. JUNE TUNE June if normal will be 10 degrees warmer and 50 per cent wetter than the month just past. June precipitation normally totals 3.40 inches, but ranges from a maximum of 9.90 in 1914 to minimum of .47 in 1936.

The maximum 24-hour amount was also recorded in 1914 when" 3.76 Inches fell over the 26th and J7th. We normally get 12 days with .01 or more. Average mean temperature for June is 64.5 degrees with a maximum of 76.5 and a minimum of 51.4. Hottest June reading on record was 107 on the 30th in 1921 and the coldest a 31 on the 7th in 1901. The month produces an average of two days over 90 but less than one over 100 or under 32.

It said it didn't believe tha State Constitution allows a district court court judge to have final say on the constitutionality of a city ordinance.

It noted that four of the five justices on the Supreme Court must agree before a state statute may be struck down. "This is not to say that a district court may not pass on the constitutionality of an ordinance, but it is to say that that decision may not be the last word," according to the opinion. The high court said: "WE DO NOT think it unreasonable that the legislature, and in this case the city, concluded that it was necessary to nermit for the benefit of the public the operation of enrtain small grocery stores on the day set aside for rest and recreation." The majority opinion added that It dofs not believe the classification Incorporated in the grocery store exemption "to constitute invidious discrimination."

Kelly, milk board executive secretary, as to why he thought two cents a half gallon would meet the needs of his operation in the absence of an operating sheet requested by the board as an exhibit, Massee said two cents was an estimate based on conferences with his auditor and speculation on the final results of the Teamsters contract Ommodt of Cass Clay produced operating sheets which A frantic trip to Bismarck Monday in an attempt to save the life of their ll'4-month-old daughter ended in sorrow for a young Harvey couple Monday morning. Little Dee Ann Wohl, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Wohl died en route to a Bismarck hospital from burns suffared in a home accident earlier that morning.

Arrangements to exhibit the moon landing ship here were made cooparatively by a governor's committee, headed by Walter Fiedler, state director of institutions and the North Dakota Motor Carriers Association.

Coming to Bismarck from Helena, after a tour of western state capitols, the exhibit will arrive June 19. and will be set up south of the capitol's front steps. The sides of the specially built trailer carrying the spacecraft and a moon rock exhibit open up. Viewers will mount stairs at the rear and form two lines to pass along either side of the craft. They will be able to see into the craft's interior where mannequins will simulate the astronauts.

The tractor-trailer unit was furnished by the Heavy Specialized Carriers Conference of the American Trucking Association, composed of trucking companies that specialize in transporting areo- space and heavy, bulky, industrial commodities. The $130,000 unit is 55 feet long, ranging from 12'4 feet wide to 14 feet, and it has a gross weight of 60,000 pounds. It has air-ride suspension systems to reduce road shock to the load. Because of the vehicle's size and precious cargo, it requires a police escort for the full miles of its country-wide tour. The highway patrol of each state is requested to provide the necessary security.

To facilitate travel of the truck convoy in North Dakota, the governor and the State Highway Department's Truck Regulatory Division have waived certain regulations, such as those governing licensing and load widths. Drivers of trucking companies affiliated with the ATA carriers conference are handling the convoy to and from their home state capitols.

The cut will be especially welcome to taxpayers with Incomffs of $5,000, because their withholding taxes actually ro? in January despite the surtax reduction.

Last year, $5.70 was deducted from weeklv pay of 15. Since then it has been $0.10, an anomaly the Internal Revenue Services called a "quirk." It was caused, the IRS said, by bugs in something needed even more: consumer buying to hdp end the ne ir-recession before the November congressional elections.

The tax, originally 10 per cent, was cut In half last January and dies altogether July 1, the day the government's new fiscal year begins. Its passing will cost $4.5 billion in federal revenue. But strapped as the Nixon administration is for cash, with budget deficits predicted for the old and the new fiscal vears, the surtax's death may help provide year beginning in July stand, mainly because his analysts say it is caused by a drop in corporate income taxes brought on by the business doldrums.

Ending the surtax won't mean much to the average taxpayer an extra 70 cents a week for four-member families with $5,000 yearly incomes, 1.70 if Income is 110,000 but taken together it will be a substantial economic stimulant matching the one that accompanied the January cut.
