LENINAKAN, Armenia, Oct. 30. - (AP) - A blizzard set in today sweeping over the region devastated by last week's earthquake and adding to the misery of the homeless survivors. Earth shocks continue intermittently; a particularly severe one was felt shortly after midnight.

The situation of the shelterless population is desperate and the morale of many seems to have gone. The problem of caring for obstetrical cases is most acute. At the appeal of the Armenian government, the Near East Relief nurses have been assigned to care for the newly born babies, 72 of whom the earthquake ushered into the world.

Twenty-eight, including two sets of twins, were born in the American tent hospital. A second hospital under canvas has been opened to care for maternity cases.

Leninakan is assuming the appearance of a city on the war front. Dugouts, caves, trenches and all sorts of underground shelters are appearing everywhere as the homeless people make frantic efofrts to protect themselves from the snow and the cold.
