coast, wai not damaged. 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. At least 10 persons were hospital
ized at Mojave, 20 miles east of
Tehachapi.
A motel and store at Grapevine
was reported wrecked, with two
persons injured.
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.
Plate glass windows were splint
ered and an explosion blew out
the walls of an automobile agency.
The Kern County courthouse nt
Bakersfield showed such cracks
that employes were not permitted
to enter.
, Dozens were treated for shock
and minor cuts and bruises at
Kern county general hospital.

DemOemfrS Plan
Orderly Routine
For Convention
By FRANK SINSISER
Mutual Network Commentator
CHICAGO More bunting, pret
tier girls, less wrangling and shov
ing in front of television cameras,
and a streamlined aeries of elo
quently brief speeches that's the
Democratic Party's recipe for this
week.
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. . .

Feud Of Oregon
Delegates Boils
At Convention
By B. L. 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."

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.
