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.

MEDFORD. OREGON, SUNDAY. OCTOBER 21. 1062
The operator of a car body
baler operation, Ross Swart
out, Grants Pass, appeared
before the Medford city coun
cil Thursday to discuss the
possibility of setting up his
operation In Medford.
After some discussion, the
council asked City Manager
Robert Duff to study the pro
posal with an end toward in
cluding the request on the
agenda of the next council
meeting. In the meantime, the
council proposed to hold a
meeting of its executive com
mittee to which Swartout and
Ted Geroux, state sanitary of
ficial, would be invited to
discuss the matter.
Swartout assured the coun
cil that he would be able to
space the burning part of his
operation to coincide with
weather conditions so that his
business would not add meas
ureably to the city's air pol
lution problem.
Permanent Set-Up
"We want a permanent set
up in Medford," Swartout
told the group, "and we
