UNC ' records shock of
qmxDike in Mexico
By SARAH WEST
SufT Writer
A major earthquake that injured more
than 100 persons in Mexico City
Wednesday was pne of the largest quakes
ever recorded by the UNC Geology
Department's seismic station.
Seismic station CEH three miles south
of Chapel H ill measured the quake 7.8 on
the Richter scale, seismograph assistant
Ken Taylor said. Any earthquake that
registers above 7 on the scale is
designated a major schock.
The National Earthquake Information
Service in Colorado said the earthquake,
which struck at 2:53 p.m. EST, was
centered 300 miles southeast of Mexico
City. The initial tremor was followed 12
minutes later by a shorter quake, and
about an hour later by another strong
tremor. Tremors continued into the early
evening.
The quake jolted Mexico City .and
much of southern Mexico. The tremors
shattered windows, shook buildings and
sent people fleeing into the streets.
Several buildings in the heart of Mexico
City were destroyed and at least four fires
were started. More than 100 persons were
reported injured, but a Red Cross
spokesperson said there were no deaths
Taylor said although Mexico City is
located 300 miles away from the center of
the quake, it is vulnerable because of its
location. "Mexico Citv is located on a

lake bed that's not a very stable
surface," said Taylor. "Therefore, when
the quake waves go through it, the
buildings on that surface will shake more
than if they were on a solid surface.
"When an earthquake occurs, the
waves travel out from the center and keep
going until they disperse." he said. "For
example, when our instruments recorded
' the quake, the ground under Chapel Hill
was actually shaking from the waves,
although we didn't feel it." Taylor added
in a quake of such magnitude, the waves
would travel around the world at least
once. .
Seismic station CEH was established in
1953 by the late Dr. Gerald R. McCarthy
of the geology department. Taylor, who
has been a seismographic assistant for
four years, said his duties include
maintenance of the station, monitoring
the instruments for quakes and calling in
findings to the National Earthquake
Information Service.
"Our instruments can pick up any
quake in the world registering 5.5 and up
on the Richter scale," said Taylor. "That
means we can catch any significant
earthquake."
' The station's instruments are located at
McCarthy Geophysics Laboratory. Data
recorded by the instruments are sent over
the-telephone lines to the geology
department where they are recorded on
paper.

Shah opponents hold wildcat strikes
TEHRAN. Iran (AP) -Opponents of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi
pressured Iran's military government Wednesday with a wave of wildcat strikes
aimed at disrupting the oil-rich nation's battered economy and keeping the
country on edge.
The walkouts, the latest in a string of stoppages and slowdowns, came amid
fears that the labor troubles will soon spread into the streets during the Moslem
holy period of Moharram that starts later this week.
Firms fined in hotel collapse
KANSAS CITY. Mo. (AP) Two firms engaged in demolition work on the
Joplin hotel that collapsed on Nov. 1 1 and killed two workers were cited and
fined by a federal agency Wednesday for willful safety violations.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration charged that the firms
failed to perform engineering studies of the building before doing their work.
Soviet Union announces defense budget
MOSCOW ( AP) The Soviet Union announced Wednesday a 1979 defense
budget of 17.2 billion rubles about $26.4 billion which it said was necessary
to counter "aggressive imperialist-circles" attempting to achieve military
superiority. '
Western experts, however, estimate that the Kremlin's real military budget is
probably five times the reported amount, most of it said to be hidden elsewhere
in the budget, which for I979 will total 268.8 billion rubles, or $4 1 3.9 billion.
Murder suspect in psychiatric custody
.RALEIGH (AP)-- A Raleigh woman, charged with first-degree murder in

'Boat people9 called big business
KUALA LUMPUR. Malaysia (AP) The mounting exodus of Vietnamese
"boat people" across the South China Sea to Malaysia is big business involving

claimed Wednesday.
Ghazali Shafie. the country's home affairs minister, addressing a dinner of
Southeast Asian security officials, said refugees paid about 15 ounces of gold,
or about $3,000, to get out of Vietnam.

U.S. trade deficit rises;
growth index shows gain
WASHING ION (AP) A sharp
decline in exports ol lood. chemicals and
gold pushed the nation's trade deficit to
$2.1 -billion in October the worst in
three months,- the government said
Wednesday. :;
Both the U.S. stock market and world
currency markets reacted negatively to
the news. The Dow Jones industrial
averages was down by 9.70 points to
794.44 in the first lew hours of slow
trading, while the dollar eased against
most other major currencies.
Meanwhile, the index of economic
indicators increased by a moderate 0.5
percent in October, pointing to
continuing economic growth even though
it was below the 0.9 percent advance in
September.
The index is designed to indicate future
economic trends. A big increase in
contracts' and orders for plant and
equipment was the major contributor to
the October gain.
The U.S. trade deficit now totals $24.8
billion for the first 10 months of 1978.
Along with inflation, it has been a major
cause of the steep decline in the dollar
during the past two years.
Officials estimate there already v are
about $500 billion in U.S. dollars held
abroad, most of them from past trade
deficits. As the supply of dollars outpaces
foreign demand, which it has. the value,
declines.

Chairman G. William Miller of the
Federal Reserve Board said Wednesday
the decline in the dollar has added about 1
percent to the nation's inflation rate in
1978, and wilt raise it even more in 1979.
The dollar decline alone, he said, is
costing Americans between $10 billion
and $15 billion a year in lost purchasing
power.
The October trade deficit followed two
"months of shrinking deficits and was the
worst since a deficit of just under $3
billion in July. The deficit for September
was $1.7 billion.
U.S. officials sought to put the best
possible face on the figures. Treasury
Secretary W. Michael Blumenthal said
they were "consistent with, if not below,
our expectations."
Exports in October declined $415
million or 3.1 percent to a total of $13
billion, down from $13.4 billion in
September, while imports were virtually
unchanged at $15.1 billion.
The size of the decline in exports was
the largest in 10 months. But Blumenthal
said much of this was due to a $224
million decline in gold exports that
reflected what he described as erratic,
overseas purchases of U.S. gold, which
were up sharply the previous month.
"Importantly, our balance of trade in
the area of manufactured goods and
industrial materials is continuing to show
substantial improvement." he said.
