HUNDREDS MAROONED ON HOUSETOPS

Mexico City, Sept. 6.

Rescue brigades in rowboats and rafts tried to rescue the last of an estimated 60,000 flood victims from rooftops in the Northern slums of Mexico City tonight while more cold rain poured down upon them.

A team of "frogmen" probed murky flood waters with the aid of movie floodlights tonight in | search of bodies. Rescue teams feared "many" | bodies might still be trapped inside shacks and houses covered by the deep waters. Nine bodies were reported recovered but there was no official count of the dead.

Many persons, fearing their homes would be looted by organised gangs which police said were operating in rowboats and oil-drum rafts, refused to leave' their rooftops. Red Cross boats shuttled food to them.

Omelais said "hundreds" were still marooned on the roots of their humble homes. The slum sector turned into a lake, 12 feet deep or it was inundated by ruin chances
