Teams of investigators
traced the disastrous 45,000
acre Foresthjll timber fire to
a lighted cigarette carelessly
tossed away by a 13-year-old
San Francisco boy.
At week's end, Thomas L.
Bailey, 27, unemployed log
ger and part-time fire fighter,
was charged with deliberately
starting two Trinity county
fires which quickly were
brought under control.
The 13 -year -old camper,
whose identity was withheld,
said he may have been re
sponsible for the fire that
caused $2 million damage 15
miles north of Auburn near
Foresthill.
"I tossed my cigarete away
in the underbrush," he told
investigators. ,
Placer County Sheriff Wil
liam Scott, joined by federal
and state forestry officials,
listened to the boy's story and
agreed there would be no
charges.
"We're convinced it was un
intentional, and there is also
insufficient evidence," Scott
said.
More than 5,000 men work
ed for eight days to encircle
the huge blaze.
Houses Leveled
Nearly a dozen houses were
leveled over a 65-mile area.
The fire raged across rugged
countryside, bypassed the
town of Foresthill, jumped
the American river and blaz
ed into the El Dorado Nation
al forest.
In addition to the $2 million
timber loss estimate, officials
said the fire cost another
$365,000 in ruined watershed.
Luckily, the Trinity county
fires the next week were con
fied to within one acre.
Trinity officers said that
Bailey squabbled with his
wife in Hayfork and then set
off for a tavern. Bailey start
ed two blazes 17 miles south
of Hayfork, officers said, part
ly because of the family tiff
and partly because he wanted
more fire fighting work.
A U. S. Forest service
spokesman estimated it cost
the government $5,000 to sup
press the two fires. The com
plaint against Bailey was
filed in the U. S. commission
er's office in Sacramento.
Bond was set at $5,000,
Elsewhere, there were these
developments:
BRACEROS: A bill of ma
jor interest to California
farmers was passed by Con
gress and sent to President
Eisenhower to be signed into
law. The measure extends the
authority under which Mexi
can migrant workers (bracer
os) may be hired on American
farms.
BANKS: Gov. Edmund G.
Brown announced that Har
vey O. Banks, state director
of water resources, will re
sign next Jan. 2 to become a
private consulting engineer.
The governor said he has
chosen William E. Warne,
state director of agriculture,
to succeed Banks. Dr. James
T. Ralph, deputy director of
agriculture, was named to re
place Warne. Banks said he
agreed to stay on until Janu
ary in order to "do everything
I can to insure that Califor
nia's vital stake in water re
sources development is ex
plained to the people of this
state." A $1.75 million bond
issue to finance a program of
water development goes be
fore voters in November.
RESCUE: The husband of
prize winning woman pilot
was rescued in a tricky land
ing and takeoff from a re
mote plateau 300 miles south
of San Diego in Mexico. Wal
ter Saunders, 45, who crash
landed his plane in soft vol
canic ash on the plateau, and
his wife, Aileen Saunders,
flew back to their home in
El Cajon. Until their arrival
in El Cajon, they apparently
were oblivious of concern ex
pressed because they we r e
overdue. There had been no
radio contact for about 24
hours.
SHOOTING: A Sacramento
man, Charles A. Serrano,
charged with the fatal shoot
ing of his ex-wife, told police
that she had failed to send
him a birthday card and had
taunted him with stories of
another man. He admitted go
ing to the home of Doris L.
Serrano, 45, to scare her with
a deer rifle. Detectives said
Serrano told them that when
he entered, he saw a man run
ning out the back door and
that he "blacked out.
FAIR: Thousands of visitors
trooped through the gates of
the California State fair for
a look at exhibits ranging
from missiles to milk cows.
With forecasts of pleasant
weather, officials predicted
that one million persons
would go through the turn
stiles during the 12-day run
of the fair. Reigning over the
fair was Judy Ann Price, 17,
of San Bernai-dino, who was
selected after a bathing beau
ty pageant as 1960's Maid of
California.
