In the span of four short days, the Senate confirmed with little incident the ap pointment of Thomas W. Bra den, Occanside, as president of the board. And Attorney General Mosk rendered an opinion concluding that the board not Dr. Maxwell Rafferty, su perintendent of public instruc tion - was the policy-making arm of California's education al system. The only question left un answered - a question that could rest with the State Su preme Court should the oc casion arise - was what hap pens if Rafferty simply defies the board on a matter of its policy? Decline, To Amwer Mosk declined to answer this question on grounds there was nothing in state law to handle it. Neither the legisla ture nor the constitution have provided any means of "pun ishment" in this case except a recall election by the voters. But Mosk noted that there were no indications Rafferty was defying the board in the current situation and "we deem it appropriate to defer a reply to this question." The question of defiance was raised when Rafferty tangled with the board over the board's decision to oppose proposed multiple selection of textbooks. Mosk said Raf ferty is free to express his own opinion when such a con flict arises. On the Braden question, the Senate voted 33-7 to accept Gov. Edmund G. Brown's ap pointment of Braden, despite about 10,000 letters that flooded the capital opposing 11. Could Not Work Together A hearing Indicated most of them came from persons who fell Braden and Raflerty could noi work together be cause Braden's newspaper op posed Rafferty's election and once called him a "Bircher" for which Braden apologized. Discrimination: Berkeley voters rejected by 2,397 votes a tough anti-housing discrimi nation ordinance that drew 43,043 voters to the polls in a record turnout. The ordi nance, which would have al lowed jail sentences for viola tors, had been approved by the city council, but was forced to a referendum by dissenting citizens. The election drew national attention and statements from Gov. Edmund G. Brown and Assembly Speaker Jesse M. Unruh (D-Inglewood), both vo cal advocates of anti-discrimination legislation. Unruh com mented that the election ap parently showed the need for more public education on civil rights. But he added that the Dem ocratic parly must avoid get ting too far out in front of the public will, and that the elec tion would have a deepening effect on anti-discrimination legislation proposed in the legislature. Meningitis: The Navy was confronted with the second outbreak of meningitis in as many months at the Naval Training Center in San Diego, but the past week's outbreak - which reportedly had no re lation In the earlier one - was of smaller proportions. One recruit died and two others, one in critical condi tion, were hospitalized and 60 quarantined. But there were no immediate plans to place the entire 12,000 man base on quarantine, which oc curred March 10 when five cases of the Infectious disease were diagnosed.

J A H Grrrn Srjmpi PHONI 772-21 H L. E. McEachron of Demp ster Furniture company was elected director and Boyd Budge of Budgc-M c H u g h company was elected treas urer at a meeting of the Med ford Chamber of Commerce board of directors last week. They were elected to re place Murray Dumas, who submitted his resignation as treasurer-director. John Moffat, chairman of the chamber's nominating committee, said the commit tee had selected McEachron and Budge, who were elected unanimously. Report on Activities Myers Jo.ies, chairman of the chamber's aviation com mittee, reported on activities which consisted of a thor ough study and analysis of the questionnaire the commit tee circulated in Medford seeking to find travel habits and desires of valley people concerning air travel. Jones reported some sue-1 cess from this study, specifi- mittee with a group of West Coast Airline executives from Portland and Seattle. Several changes in schedules and rates were announced by the executives. The changes will be put into effect by West Coast on approval of CAB. Jones said he expects the committee to have similar meetings with United Air Lines and Pacific Air Lines in the near future. Turn to Other Items Jones stated that his com mittee would now turn to other matters for the remain der of 1963. He mentioned improving and "dressing up" the lobby of the airport build ing and grounds; study air port workings, better tie down facilities for private planes and some considera tion to tenant relations on the airport. Another important matter needing attention, he said, is a continuing study of length of runways to accommodate jet air craft. A study of the cally a meeting of the com-1 adequacy of present fire pro tection at the airport also is needed, he said. The governmental opera tions committee report was given by Robert Heffernan, chairman. He said the com mittee had responded to the request of the board to bring in a recommendation in re spect to signs on the freeway, and was reporting that the committee felt quite strongly that while they favored regu lation, the recently passed city ordinance should have received further study and modification so that a fair, equitable and effective ordi nance could result. Favor Regulation Johnny Eads of the Federal Sign and Signal company said that the sign companies fav ored regulation, but that the ordinance had some good fea tures and some bad ones. He stated one of the gravest in justices involved was the re strictions placed on down town businesses using signs, where such signs were not addressed to the freeway. Fads fplt the present ordi nance was unsound and sug gested the drafting of an ordi nance of such far reaching consequences should be gone into in a business-like way. He suggested a group made up of a representative from the sign companies, the city council, the chamber, the wayside industries, from downtown business, the gar den clubs to obtain a cross section of the vitally interest ed parties in the community be appointed to come up with plan which could then go to public hearings and then to the city council. In this way, Eads felt pro 1 per regulation would result and the unrealistic restric tions, which are descrimina tory would be removed.
