—Two massive earthquakes, fire
and a tidal wave wrecked the
Moroccan port city of Agadir to-
day, killing 1,000 persons and in-
juring an equal number, officials
back from the scene reported.
The number of injured may
reach several thousand when res-
cue workers are able to make an
accurate tally, the officials Mid.
: The reports were made after
the return from Agadir of Crown
Prince Moulay Hassan and a par-
ty of officials who had accompa-
nied King Mohamed V to the
stricken city.
The King ordered s special
command post set up outside the
city to direct-relief work.
"The naw city of Agadir as
well as the Casbah (Moroccan
section) are destroyed and a
mass of ruins," said one return-
ing eyewitness. “Rescue parties
are removing the dead and in-
jured. Most buildings are at least
partially destroyed.
"In places beds have tumbled
