number of war criminals, counter revolutionary criminals and common criminals who have really changed their ways and behaved well.” The amnesty was declared in observance of the 10th anniversary of the founding of Communist China on Oct. 1; There was no mention of American or other foreigners jailed by the Reds, but it was thought possible they would be covered by the pardon extended to “counter-revolutionaries.” The broadcast said Peng had been "relieved” of his post as defense minister and replaced by Marshal Lin Piao, whose troops were the first to cross the Yalu in 1950 against American - led United Nations forces in the Korean War. Lin is considered Red

China's top military strategist. Lo Jui-ching, long the hatchet man of the Communist regime, was relieved as minister of public security and named chief of the gneral staff. He replaced Huang Ke-cheng, who became chief of the general staff only last October during the height of the crisis over the offshore islands of Matsu and Quemoy in the Formosa Strait.

Italian Death 1 Toll Grows As Rubble Removed BARLETTA, Italy (UPD-Res-cue workers dug fever i shly through the rubble of a five-story apartment building today, fearful they would find the bodies of many more residents of the new building which collapsed Wednesday at dawn. The bodies of 40 men, women and children, some of them crushed beyond recognition, had already been found. Thirteen persons, all severely Injured, were pulled out of the wreckage btit it was feared the final death toll might be anywhere from 60 to 100. The job of digging through the huge mass of concrete, rock and

twisted metal went on through the night under powerful spotlights. But it was an almost hopelessly frustrating task. “The only one who can possibly survive this tragedy are the 13 injured who are now in the hospital,” a police official said. I About 600 soldiers, firemen, policemen and monks worked around the clock clearing away layer after layer of rubble. How many more bodies may be ‘ under the rubble was not known, ’ I for these were many more fami- ! lies living in the new building than the 24 registered with city _ offices. E. Dambrosio, commander of the Barlett fire brigade, said every brick and stone in the 30-foot 1 high mass of rubble would have ' to be removed to uncover all the 1 victims. He estimated there may be another 30 to 60 bodies in the rubble. John H. Ballard, then and now ' president of the Bulova Watch Co., conceived the idea of putting commercials into radio station breaks. That was in 1926.
