'QUAKE IN TIBET
SEVERE SHOCK
BARREN AREA
CALCUTTA, Jan. 4
A severe earthquake shock with its epiccntral region probably in South Tibet, about 200 miles north of Mt. Everest, was recorded on Indian and Burhfese seismographs at 7.22 a.m. yesterday. Scientists are of opinion that the barren country in the Central Tibetan plateau beyond the Himalayan ranges is rapidly becoming an area of seismic activity. Owing to recent heavy snowstorms, communication between Indiii and the remote parts of Tibet, is impossible, and it will probably be weeks before authentic, information is obtainable regarding the recent shocks, which arc the severest recorded in Tndia since the great Bihar earthquake a year ago.
