Unofficial estimates of the number of dead ran far ahead of the official count and authorities said an accurate tally was impossible as they concentrated on saving survivors. Soviet Cart Crawls On Moons Surface MOSCOW-The Soviet Union Tuesday sent an eight-wheeled lunar cart shaped like a large silver kettle rolling over the moon's Sea of Rains in the first trip by an unmanned machine over the surface of the celestial body. The "Lunokhod" cart descended down a gangway from the Luna 17 moonship early Tuesday and "immediately started on a series of scientific and technological investigation," Tass said. The Luna 17 mother ship softlanded Wednesday night, seven days after the blastoff from earth. Soviet commentators suggested the craft will remain on the moon to "install at different points sets of scientific instruments that will operate for a long time." Lunokhod 1 carries a scientific payload that includes two television camera eyes, a French-made laser beam reflector and radio equipment to receive signals by which earthbound controllers guided it on a historic 65.6-foot crawl over the moon. Its batteries are powered by solar energy. Another unmanned Soviet craft, Luna 16, softlanded on the moon last month, scooped lunar rock, then carried it back to earth after, history's first liftoff of an automatic station from another celestial body's surface. Both accomplishments represent a Iii Mild Recession WASHINGTON-Industrial production dropped by 2.3 per cent in October, the steepest decline in more than 1 1 years, the Federal Reserve Board" reported Tuesday. The dip, about half resulting from the General Motors strike and the other half from an overall business slump, indicated that the economy is not recovering as briskly as the Nixon administration had predicted.

Franklin Beside Ye Old Tavern Official estimates said about 53.000 persons were killed but reports published locally said the final toll in the 2,33K-square-mile area of devastation may ultimately reach half a million. The Pakistan Times, published in Lahore by the Government Press Trust, said officials compiling the death toll figure may reach 1 million after a precise survey of the extent of devastation. The Times said this belief was reinforced by major advance on the Russian space program, giving Moscow back some of the glory lost in the race to put the first man on the moon. Pictures of the moon cart showed by Moscow television resembled science fiction movies. The prototype of the Lunokhod looked like a huge silver kettle on wheels with two television eyes in front and a variety of antennas on its top. A television commentator said the moon cart was placed on Luna 17 in a space reserved for returning rockets, an indication that the mother ship would not be able to make the earthbound journey. FT. BENNING, Ga.-The Army opened its My Lai massacre case Tuesday against Lt. William L. Calley Jr., painting a grisly picture of old men pleading in vain for their lives and a child "trying to crawl away from the slaughter.

It was becoming increasingly clear that the disaster would rank among the worst recorded calamities in human history, perhaps even surpassing the toll of 900,000 killed in a flood that ravaged China's Honan Province in 1887. Those who lived through the catastrophe told of clinging to the tails of cattle or hugging trees as winds of more than 100 m.p.h. and waves 20 feet high and more smashed out of the Bay of Bengal and destroyed everything in their path along the coast of East Pakistan. , "The situation is extremely serious," an urgent message from the Pakistan Red Cross to Geneva headquarters said. ''More than 2 million people affected. Survivors urgently need everything. Request blankets, war clothing, 100,000 units of typhoid-cholera vaccine." Officials at the World Health Organization noted that East Pakistan is a traditional breeding ground for cholera, a disease born of inadequately treated water and poor sewage systems. Under ordinary circumstances, scores of people die of cholera in this country each year.

THE INTIMATE BOOKSHOP Chapel Hill Open evenings til 10 : Clark Called 'Jellyfish jFIBI NEW YORK-Former Attorney General Ramsey Clark, replying to FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover's characterization of him as a "jellyfish" said Tuesday he believed the FBI needed "new leadership." Clark also called Hoover's pursuit of the Communist party a waste of money and the FBI director's assessment of the Black Panthers as "patently absurd." Clark made his remarks at a news conference at the Overseas Press Club hours after publication of an interview Hoover granted the Washington Post. In ey i rial Daniels took the officers through the alleged operation step-by-step, explaining that Calley's. platoon landed on the outskirts of My Lai by helicopter without encountering any enemy fire. He said Calley found villagers "undefended and unarmed women, children and old men in then: hooches."

You never knew which way he us going to flop on an issue." Hoover's harsh criticism of Clark was believed prompted by Clark's book , "Crime in America" which accuses Hoover of having "self-centered concern" for his own reputation." Tuesday Clark said "I'm sure he (Hoover) is entitled to his opinion." However, Clark added, Hoover has "never been very terribly tolerant of criticism and his ideology is of a different time." Clark said Hoover's "pursuit of the Communist Party is an example of a terribly wasteful use of resources" and asked "why it was so terribly difficult for him to begin civil rights investigations?" In another criticism of Hoover the former attorney general referred to Hoover's remark that the Black Panthers are the most dangerous group of people in the United States. "That is patently absurd," Clark saJ, "I said that at the lime and I'm still convinced of it. The FBI outnumbers the Black Panthers seven to one, and if they can't handle it, they should have stayed in bed." Questioned by reporters following the news conference, Clark said he believed that the FBI needed "new leadership" both within and outside the agency. However, the court carerully restricted its ruling to the case of Caldwell, a 32 year old black newsman who said that even an appearance before a secret session would cut off his confidential sources among the Panthers. "It is not every news source that is as sensitive as the Black Pantjier Party" about the coverage of its affairs, the court said. happy kind of taste. EZU L I LZi 241
