THE WEEK IN CALIFORNIA
Motor Vehicle Department
Officials Fired in California
By United Pri International
Three more state Depart
ment of Motor Vehicles
(DMV) officials were fired in
a mounting scandal that Atty.
Gen. Stanley Mosk said in
dicated a break-down in the
tate civil service system.
Two other officials were
fired earlier this year when
Los Angeles Grand Jury in
dictments touched off a shake
up of the Department by Gov.
Edmund G. Brown.
Mosk said the civil service
system "was established to
prevent corruption within
government, to insure a stable
force of career employees and
to end the evils of our spoils
system. In this instance, the
system Itself became a ma
jor contributor to corruption.'
Mosk said he would seek a
complete reorganization of the
DMV when Brown returned
from his European vacation.
Fired by the department
during the week were James
Edling, a DMV investigator,
A. J. Vcglica, registrar of ve
hicles, and William P. Scan

Fired earlier this year were
Morris Genser, assistant
-Mat Investlsatnr of the DMV
for southern California, who
posted $20,000 ball after sur
rendering to the distlct at
torney's office aunng me
week. Genser and David Koff
mana, head of the California
dealers service, were charged
by the jury with bribery and
extortion for "favored treat

of licenses and relgstrations
of out-of-state cars.

a burning need for a return
to heart-felt i failh in Jesus

2,200 Students
Expected at SOC
Ashland - More than 2,200
students are expected to en
roll at Southern Oregon col
lege fall term, Mrs. Mabel W.
Winston, registrar, has an
nounced. This is an 18 per cent in
crease over enrollment last

rollment figure was based on
applications received as of

One-thousand new students
are expected on campus along
with 1,200 returning ones and

dents. Dormitory reservations are
up 25 per cent over last year
and a total of 614 of the 690
available dormitory spaces

of new course offerings and
business degrees; increased
status of the faculty; and be
cause the southern Oregon
area is growing in population,
Mrs. Winston noted.
