operations to other bases in the Western Pacific par ticularly Guam and Okinawa Officials say the transfers may become permanent if the base is deemed inoperable Abandoning Clark a major mil itary logistics and training hub would force the Pentagon to reor ganize supply lines and defense strategy for the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean The base ini tially built for cavalry was begun in 1901 as first over seas base and has been a key Pa cific bastion since World War II as headquarters of the 13th Air orce and home of a sophisticated aerial combat and bombing range Demolition teams already have begun destroying surplus muni tions stored on Clark destroying 1000 pound bombs grenades and ammunition for three days last week At least some were water damaged one official said despite entombment in earth covered con crete bunkers No precise figures are avail able but damage and cleanup from the June 15 eruption is likely to cost hundreds of millions of dollars at Clark and the equally stricken Subic Bay Naval Base and dockyard where more than 122 buildings were badly damaged ordestroyed activities may be tempo rarily relocated as well officials said but no decision has been made yet Subic is less likely to close permanently however since its ship repair refueling and re supply facilities are easier to maintain The eruptipn occurred just three months before leases expire

duty Air orce personnel from Clark have been evacuated by aircraft carrier from Subic Bay joining more than 20000 military dependents and Department of Defense employ ees All have been taken to Cebu about 200 miles south for flights to Guam and to the United States The evacuation leaves a skele ton force of only 1500 Air orce police engineers and others at Clark Another 5000 Air orce personnel and 7000 Navy sailors are housed at Subic where a mas sive cleanup and repair effort has barely begun At Clark virtually every tin roofed hangar and storage shed along the flight line crumpled and

small flow of extremely hot vol canic debris and gas on the east side of the volcano Seismographs detected the temblors yesterday throughout most of the southwestern Shima bara Peninsula The quakes epicenter was believed to be about five miles west of the vol cano and about four miles under ground Officials said both quakes were weak The Richter scale equiva lent was not immediately avail able
