The Week in California World Series, Week End Storm Dominate Newsfrom California By United Press International The San Francisco Giants lost the World Series. But they won the hearts of baseball fans the world over. The mighty New York Yan kees, long accustomed to win ning the fall classic, spoiled San Francisco's bid for a world baseball championship. But midnight did not toll for the Cinderella Giants until the series went as far as base ball law allows. The Giants had the poten tial winning runs on the bases before the bell finally tolled in the ninth and final inning of a long season. The final score of the final game was 1-0, giving the Yanks a series edge of four games to three. Han Out of Gas The Giants finally ran out of gas. But they didn't run out of fans. They won their hearts when they tied the Los Angeles Dodgers for the Na tional League Pennant and then won the flag in the third and deciding game of the play off. It marked the Giants first pennant since moving to the West Coast in 195a. The Dodgers won the flag and the World Series in 1959. Elsewhere, there were these developments: Storm: Northern Californi ans mopped up after a three day week end storm which took' at least 45 lives and caused damage estimated in the hundreds of millions of dollars in three West Coast states. The storm started in central and northern Califor nia and gradually swept north ward. Oregon was the hardest hit. Bui at least a score of per sons were killed in California. Rivers and lakes washed over their banks as rain measured as much as 21 inches in some northern California areas. Hundreds of residents fled their homes. Gubernatorial: With only three weeks left in the cam paign, here's what California's two gubernatorial candidates were saying: Nixon - Urged a crackdown on drunken drivers: called on President Kennedy to adopt a "Get Tough" policy toward Cuba; pledged if elected to back a program guaranteeing farmers the ability to harvest their crops and get them to market; predicted he would get a substantial number of labor votes; promised to re duce the taxpayer burden. Brown - Softened his nor mally rigid support of Demo cratic party candidates by saying he was not going to campaign for all of them; recommended that children be taught the dangers of Commu nism and promised "to sup port all state institutions in their resistance to un-American pressure from extremists from left and right"; praised the newspaper coverage of his campaign as "fair and impar tial" but questioned Nixon's "understanding" of press func tions. Highways: A budget of $695,927,042 for state high way construction, acquisition and maintenance during fis cal 1963-64 was adopted by the California highway com mission. The budget called for construction of 321 miles of new freeways and highways. Commission Chairman Rob ert B. Bradford said the budg et, up $37,557,025 from the current fiscal year, was an effort to "get the most traffic safety and efficiency in every corner of the state out of ev ery available dollar." Federal monies in the budget totaled $305,606,000. Funds for 218 separate projects were in cluded. As usual, the complex of Los Angeles, Orange and Ven tura counties received the largest area appropriation - a total of $163,993,000 for con struction and right of way purchase. Raiders: William (Red) Conkright, former University of Oklahoma grid star, took over as head coach for the faltering Oakland Raiders of the American Football League. The team fired chief mentor Marty Feldman. The Raiders had iost five straight this season and have been plagued with poor attendance at home games.
