THE RESCUE WORK

Montgomery, Alabama,

Yesterday. Over 50 persons, it is believed are buried in the debris of two large three-storeyed business pre- mises, which have suddenly col- Lapsed.

Bodies Being Recovered

It is suspected the collapse was due to the excavations next door in¦ preparation of a new building.

Most of the buried are probably women and girls. Two bodies of negroes have been brought out.

The rescuers plainly saw two white women among the tons of. masonry and timber.

Frequent Collapses

There have been frequent col- lapses within recent years in the same part of the city. Some were killed only a fortnight ago through the wall of a garage collapsing- Reuter's American Service.
