Two of the three were-for cab inet posts: Herbert Brownell Jr., New York lawver and former aide of Oov. Thomas-E. Dewey, as at torney general, and; ueorge m. Humphrey, Cleveland Industrialist, as secretary ol the treasury. Elsenhower designated former Oov. Harold E. Siasnen ol Minne sota as mutual security adminis trator. Of Humphrey's selection. Dem ocratic sen. Byrd of Virginia aald: 'He a most ouutancung- ana able businessman, and I predict lor him a most successful admin istration." Byrd. who refused to support Adlal 8tevenon, had been men tioned for the Treasury post but aald earlier yesterday he did not want It.

( f 7,1 , S n y d e r telegraphed eongratula Hons to Humphrey, offering his assistance in making a smooth transfer of authority. Snyder called Humphrey "an administra tor of sound Judgment and ex perience." Mutual Security Administrator Averell Harriman made a similar offer In a telephone call to Stas sen.' Harriman'a olllce said the two agreed to an early meeting, but set no date. Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio, who lost the OOP presidential nomina tion to Eisenhower, declined com ment on yesterday's appointments by the President-elect. None of the appointments went to men re portedly favored by Taft. although Humphrey was honorary chair man of a Taft committee In 1848. Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio, who lost the OOP presidential nomin ation to Elsenhower, nald of Hum phrey that he was "pleased that an Ohloan was selected." Taft had no Immediate comment on the other appointments. Sen. Wayne Morse of Oregon, who bolted the Republican party to back Stevenson and now calls himself an independent, com mented: "The latest batch of El senhower appointments is but a continuation of placing- reaction aries In complete control of his administration. . -. . Elsenhower apparently believes In placing big business In control of the govern ment." m an Indirect comment, former Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgfnthau said he hopes the Ei senhower cabinet "doesn't go too much big business." Morgenthau, who served under the late Presi dent Franklin D. Roosevelt, told reporters In Tucson, Aria., he was "a little bit worried" about the possible make-up of the cabinet. Reaction from other members of the Senate, which must act on con firmation of such appointments, Included: Sen. sparkman (D-Ala), the Democratic vice presidential nom inee, said he was not acquainted with Brownell and Humphrey but praised Stassen as having "the right outlook on the mutual aid program." 8en. Mundt (R-SD said he con sidered Brownell and Stassen well qualified, but did not know Hum phrey, Sen. Stcnnls D-Mlsnl praised Brownell'a choice, aald Stassen was "acceptable" and did not know Humphrey. Sen.

No deaths or injuries were re ported although the San Andreas earth fault, on which nearly all of California's disastrous quakes have occur reo, was convulsed for mote than three quarters of an hour. Charles Herrick, on the Univers ity of California selsmological staff, said the quake started at 11:47:14. PST. last night J.47:14 a.m.. EST today). He said it un doubtedly was severe at its epi center near Parkfleld in desolate mountains of Southeastern Mon terey County. 120 miles south of here. The seismograph continued recording the quake for more than 48 minutes and Herrick declared damage "undoubtedly would have oeen aisasirous nad the epicenter been in populated countrv." San Luis Obispo residents. Radio M.i Hon KVFC said, commented that the quake offered the "strangest sensation" because of Its rolling characteristic. And it was Just this rolling which Seismologist Herrick indicated may have softened its shock. Ha said the tembler undoubtedly com pared in intensity with the larger aftershocks of the July 1 quake at Tehnchapi, in which 15 persons were killed. The after quake at Bakersfleld, Aug. 23. less strong than the one at Tehachapl. toppled six ouiiaings, dui it was a central ired shock. The quake Saturday - spread it- sen mrougnout tne whole oi cen tral California. It was reported as varying in In tensity from mild to strong. 8alinas residents described It as sharp, and said It was "a real dish rattler." A sharp, cracking sound was heard there as the quake struck. Mercury Skids To 15 Degrees : Thermometers began dropping to new lows as crisp Klamath winter weather began moving closer, with a seasonal low recording of only 15 degrees merged up in aown town Klamath Falls last night.. High temperature yesterday was a freezing-point 32 degrees. . Until now the low temperature for the season was 17 degrees last week, though thermometers have seldom left the freezing tone since men, Foul Play reared As 2 Disappear By HALE SCARBROUGH A woman and a man hav been listed as missing by authorities here, and there is suspicion in both me unrelated cases ol tne possi bility of foul play. ine two persons are: Hazel Berrv Presfleld 27. who haa been missing from her resi dence, 1440 Klamath Avenue, since sometime in late September, and Lloyd Luke Lotches, 37, a Klam ath Indian missing from Chiloquin tor about two or three weeks. Mrs. Presfield abandoned four young children and the youngsters were taken into Juvenile custody Thursday. Her husband, Clark Presfleld. 39. Is currently In City Jail serving a sentence on a drunk charge. He has instated to officers that his wife lust left one night and tnst he doesn't know where she is. Apparently she left on the night of Sept. 28-29, taking only the cloth ing ane was wearing and a coal. Other clothing was still In the cab In last night. DESCRIPTION Presfield gave police this descrtD- tlon of his wife: Height: 5 feet 2 inches: weight: 113 pounds: complexion smooth and clear; nationality: Irish. English and Mexican; small scar on calf of the left leg; when last seen was wearing a black dress, white anoes son a irreen coat- She was first officially listed as missing yesterday - afternoon, al though on Oct. 11 Presfield told an officer his wife bad gone away. They have two boys, aged 9 and 5 and two girls, aged 7 and 4. The date of her disappearance was es tablished tentatively as the night oi sept. 38-29 By the fact that the two older children didn't go to school for five days straight after that. Juvenile Officer Francis Math ews said the older boy related that his father had told him his mother left with a Mexican "named Louie" DISBELIEVE Police officials say that It Is hard to believe that Mrs. Presfield left voluntarily and abandoned the chil dren, because she had been known as very fond of the youngsters, keeping them clean and in school despite the conditions in which the family lived. Their residence has been known as a hangout for some of the "skid road" habitues. Her husband has been in City Jail six times since the first of the year. r once Chief orvilie Hamilton is anxious to learn the whereabouts of Mrs. Presfield, and asks that anyone having any knowledge of where she might be or who has seen her since the latter part of September contact him. The disappearance of Llovd Lotches is equally as mysterious. He apparently dropped out of aight on the Reservation sometime after Nov. 1. Indian authorities report, and the rumor is current on the Reservation that he may have been (Continued on page 1) , i '.. . ....

The Air Force said 785 trucks were destroyed in the last seven days, the highest score since early January. Ground fighting today fell off to minor Red probing attacks. All were ' repulsed without loss of ground. AP Correspondent John' Ran dolph On the Central Front said the recent harassing tactics of the Chinese might be the prelude to a major Red drive on Sniper Ridge. Allied officers couldn't say for sure just what the Reds were up to. . -LOPSIDED In a week of fairly heavy air battles, U. S. F86 Sabre Jets ran up a score of at least 14-1 against the Manchurlan-ba&ed MIQ15s. The Air Force listed 14 MIOs de stroyed, one probably destroyed and: four damaged. Only ohe Sabre Jet was lost in air combat. Two prop, driven Allied planes were shot down by Red ground fire, and two Sabres were lost to causes other than combat, probably me chanical failure. Far East Air Forces headquar ters in Tokyo said the MIO clalma brought to 503 the number of Russian-built fighters shot down dur ing the Korean War. The week's toll does not include two MIGs destroyed and one dam aged by Navy planes off the Ko rean east coast Tuesday. TRUCKS HIT Most of the 785 Red trucks de stroyed were credited to B26 In vader bombers in hazardous truck- busting forays at night. , . roe twin-engine mvaaers, iiying at dangerously low levels, hunted out the Red rolling stock on the back roads as well aa on the main supply, routes. What little ground fighting there was Saturday was concentrated on the bloody Kumhwa. ridges of the Central Front. Randolph said the Reds kept the Sniper Ridge area alive during the night with a series of small at tacks that ended at dawn, AU were, beaten back.: .
