The Santa Fe said it would move iU passen gers by bus. But the main-traveled route be tween here and Bakersfield, the Ridge Route (U. S. 99) was blocked by a slide near Gorman. A highway patrolman said "it aeems like the top of a mountain slid off," burying the busy, four lane freeway route under 25 leet of dirt at one point. Elsewhere in the isolated Te hachapi mountains, which separate coastal Southern California from the San Joaquin valley, there were growing reports of loss and injur ies.

Shocks were stilt being felt in the community of Frazier Park four hours after the first quake hit at 4:52 a.m. POT. The strongest quake in Southern California in nearly a half-century, the thinly-populated area in which it hit kept the death toll from being much higher. Its force was felt, mostly in a rolling motion, from San Francisco on the north to the Mexican border on the south, and eastward into Nevada. Bak.rsfi.ld Hit - Bakersfield itself, a city of 35,000 was hard hit. A refinery was afire, the downtown business dis trict was littered with rubble.

The National Democratic Party Chairman, Frank McKinney an nounced that all Democrat commit tee meetings and convention ses sions will be open to all avenues of public information. In short, ra dio, television, the newsreels, news papers, magazines and the public will be given free access to everv official gathering of the Democrats this week. There will be no cry of "Iron Curtain" if Frank McKinney has anything to say about it. On the question of speeches, Ihe Democrat orators are being en couraged to speak eloquently to the point. Nominating speeches are to be limited to 15 minutes for each candidate, with two second ing speeches of not more than 5 minutes each. Major addresses to the convention are being kept to me smallest numner possible. No S.ition Delays Each session will begin on time, with an emerecnev delav dead line of 15 minutes that the Chair man hopes he will never need. As to the time-consuming milling about of protesting delegates and governors making mighty medi cine on the floor or on the soeakers platform, that is all taboo this week. Parliamentary procedure will protect the right of minority groups to be heard. But the same parliamentary rules will be used to protect the right of the majority to get along with the business at nana. Another big change from the hoopla and frenetic snake dancing that the Republicans staged after each nomination on Thursday night win De me oanning of all profes sional demonstrators from the con vention floor. There will be almost 150 more women delegates and alternates at tne Democrat cone lave than were at the Republican convention. The aistair side will have the largest number ever to attend a national party convention in the United .Males: 55 women de eeates or at ternates. At least five of the lady Democrats will give those stream lined main addresses that Chair man McKinney says should run not more than 20 minutes. And a full program of activities from a school on political parly organiza tion to fashion shows has been plan ned by the Democrats' Director of the Women's Division, Mrs. India Edwards. Don't be surprised if at least one woman is named to run for nom ination as vice president of the United States, Mrs, Edwards has said she would not stop her own name from being placed before the Convention. But she admits 1952 may be a little too soon for even Democrats to realize the impor tance of a woman on the party ticket. The plans are made. And the Democrats are sure they will have a well run show. But as any con vention reporter knows, anything catch more men. . .

LIVINGSTONS CHICAGO I Oregon's war ring delegates to the Democratic convention scheduled another round Monday only hours before the convention opens in a sharp battle over the good-faith inten tions of opposing political factions. The Oregon feud erupted at a delegation caucus Sunday over re ports and allegations that some delegates were planning to bolt their primary election pledged to support the presidential candidacy of Sen. Estes Kcfauver. In advance of Monday's meeting, cooler heads in the delegation sought to avert a show-down which they feared might permanently damage the Oregon Democratic organization. The fight was touched off by Thomas R. Mahoney, Portland at torney, in an attempt to force the delegates to reaffirm individually their pledge for Kefauver. Mahoney, asserting that "word has gotten out that this delegation is not whole-heartedly behind Ke fauver," demanded a roll call vote on a motion to back the Tennes scan. Oregon's 12-vote delegation Is pledged under Oregon primary law to back Kefauver so long as he has a reasonable chance of win ning the presidential nomination. First Round Won In a parliamentary scrap, Ma honey, backed by former Demo cratic State Chairman William L. Josslin, scored a preliminary vic tory over the faction headed by National Committeeman Monroe Sweetland. By a 6 4 vote of the delegates present, the Mahoney-Josslin forces defeated a counter-move by Sweetland and Delegate Harry D. Boivin of Klamath Falls to pre vent Mahoney's motion from com ing to a vote. But before the delegation could be polled, Mahoney agreed with Sweetland to put over the vote until Monday when the full dele gation was present. The flare-up came on the heels of rumors, fur which there was no confirmation, that the Oregon dele gates were wavering in their sup port for Kefauver. After Sunday's stormy caucus, Sweetland told a news man that "every member of the Oregon del egation, so far as I know, intends to support Kefauver as long as he's in the running." Jle added, however, that "I don't want our already small n'iber (of delegates) to be fur tiicr diminished in importance by mortgaging it to an unforeseeable future."

JACKSON Wages Hike Or Reduced Services Up To Voters (Continued from Page unei the original budget and confine salary increases for present em ployees to a straight five per cent increase over last year and to re tain the budget figures for addi tional badly needed employes upon the same basis. This we have done in eood faith and if the vote is fa vorable, will see that it is carried out, in spite of the fact that the Taxpayers Committee now advises us that they will not support the j budget as agreed upon, unless the amount of tax to be raised is re duced by approximately $40,000.00 more. Twice this year the voters of Roseburg have been requested to approve a tax levy in excess of the six per cent limitation approved by the budget committee, but only from 5 to 10 per cent of those eligible have expressed their opin ions by voting. On Tuesday, July 22. another election is to be held, and this will be the last one this year. The law does not permit time for an other vote. If the budget is not then approved by the voters, the City will be forced to confine its tax levy to the amount per mitted by the 6 per cent limitation, being $102,437.08. Last year the tax levy was J197.847.00, which means that for the coming year the City will have to get along on $95,409.00 less than last. The budget committee will then have to curtail the activities of the City accordingly. It will have to determine what sen-ices are to be limited or eliminated. Cuts may have to be made in fire protection, police service, street repair and maintenance, library service, pari: maintenance, and street lighting. Installation of badly needed traf fic lights now planned may not be made. Open hours for the swim ming pool may have to be cut down and the charges increased. Several employees probably will have to be released. All in all, skeleton service only may be nec essary. General improvement work pro vided for in our budget has not been questioned by the Taxpayers League. Without going into detail we assure you that.it is needed. We feel that the serious retrench ment now threatened hangs upon the question as to whether or not the voters of this city believe in our stand on adequate wages for our employees. We believe that if they cannot be paid, it is far bet ter to curtail services and cut wherever necessary to come with in the 6 per cent limitation. The decision now is one for the voters. You owe it to yourself to vote as you see fit but vote. H. N, Jacobson H. E. DeBernardi J. E. Dent Harold J. Bracken Jr. Bruce Hetrick Kenneth Ellison Arlo Jacklin , R. D.
