of education.
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.
Crash - A light plane en
route to OIney, Tex., from
Woodland, Calif., crashed on
the snow-covered Tcjon Can
yon of the Tehachapi Moun
tains. Robert C. McKinney,
20, Alexandria. La., a pas
senger, stepped from the
wreckage, worked his way
down the slopes for eight
hours, and stumbled into the
Tejon Ranch headquarters.
Rescuers and McKinney
found McKinney's uncle. Rob
ert D McKinney, 39. OIney,
Tex., near collapse six miles
from the wreckage But they
were not in time to save Fran
cine McKinney, 38. OIney,
who died of cxplosure while
awaiting rescue.
Reduce - Mrs. Mary Fergu
son still had 98 pounds to go
following a two-week fast in
her efforts to reduce to 128
pounds from 244 pounds. Mrs.
Ferguson, 32, lost 18 pounds
during a fast in a Long Beach
hotel room. She subsisted on a
liquid diet of coffee, bouillon
and vitamins. She said she
was next going on a 1,000
calorie diet. "It may lake a
year, hut I know I can do it,"
she said.

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.
