HERALD AND NEWS. Klamath Falls. Ore. Thursday, April 18, 1963 PAGE S-A San Francisco Notes Anniversary Of Disastrous Quake 57 Years Ago ' SAN FRANCISCO (UPli - Is the Golden Gate City prepared for another earthquake packing the force of the 1906 disaster? It certainly wasn't on April 18, 57 years ago when the San An dreas Fault lurched with a terri fying suddenness and caught San 'Franciscans in their beds. The city's entire business dis trict, along with three-fifths of her houses adn lodgings were ei ther ripped by the quake or con--sumed in the fires which followed Its human toll was 542 dead, countless injured and more than "a quarter of a million homeless. "' Today the lesson has been well learned and San Francisco is braced, but the still active San Andreas Fault lies nearby, just missing San Francisco. The 1906 quake struck at 5:15 on a weekday morning, when streets were empty and downtow n businesses deserted. What if a similar quake struck at noon in the middle of the week? Chilling Thought It is a chilling thought. Con servative eslimates ol injuries run as high as 16.000. Nobody wants to estimate the deaths which might occur. Karl V. Steinbrugge. noted Labor Dispute Powers Proposed For Kennedy '-' WASHINGTON (UPli - Scn.i Jacob K. Javits. R-N.Y., proposed 'today that the President be given new laws to deal with labor (lis- putes in which the national inter est is "dangerously jeopardized." Javits announced that he was introducing proposed amendments to the Taft-Hartley Act to author ize the President to: Appoint a board of inquiry which could, for the first time, ' make recommendations for a set tlement. It also would report on , the facts in -the dispute. Order a 3(Klay freeze during which both sides would be "un !er a duty to bargain" upon the recommendations, although nei- ' ther party would be required to .'accept them. " Seek federal court appoint ment of a special receiver to op erate any struck facilities which the court felt were needed to pro tect the national health or safety. Javits, describing himself as a 'tried friend of labor," noted that his proposals would not cover walkouts like the recent New- York City newspaper strike which he said did not affect na tional health and safety. But he added that his bill could serve as a model for state legislation which might under certain condi tions be applied to a newspaper strike.

Henley Plans For Banquet By MARTHA RAGLAND The Henley High School Ju ior-Senior Banquet will be held at the Officers' Club at Kingsley Field this year. The banquet, which will be served Saturday night at 7 o'clock, was arranged by the junior class mothers.

Also invited is Jerald Argetsing- er, student magician from Klam ath Union High School. Dancing will follow the enter tainment. structural engineer and secretary of the Seismological Society of America, points out that even if San Francisco was struck by an earthquake of the magnitude of 1906, its intensity would be much lower. "The magnitude is the power generated by the quake, but the intensity is its ellect on man- made structures." he explained. If you design structures in prep aration for a quake of large mag nitude, its intensity naturally wiH not be as great as its effect on haphazard building. San Francisco is in pretty good shape." Although the quake of 1906 lop- pled or damaged many buildings, it was the fire that caused most of the destruction when main wa ter lines burst. Today tough building laws, rig id inspection and improved fire fighting methods have braced San Francisco acain'st all but the; strongest quakes. The city has duplicated its main water supply lines. One runs into town in an east-west direction, the other is laid north-south, in the event of ground shocks com ing from one or the other direc tion. A complex system of water pipes and valves within the city insure that water will not be cut off because of a break in any one line. Tension In Fault In addition, dozens of cisterns containing thousands ol gallons of water have been built under strategic intersections. Two huge pumping stations have been in stalled along the waterfront to pull .water from the bay. Gas lines have been laid using a similar plan, allowing gas to be cut off at any one of hundreds of valves, limiting the chance of a gas fire. What are the chances for anoth er big earthquake?

They have met oftener, for long er hours, and held more public hearings than any other committee. They are trapped in a mass of cross pressures. They have to find the added money needed to operate the state government. This means an un popular tax increase. They've got to come up with a program that w ill be fair and ade quate. And members of both par ties realize the results of their ac tions could affect the balance of power in state government. They are the focal point of leg islative activity. Not until the Tax Committee has drafted its pro gram, and it has been approved in both houses, will the Ways and Means Committee be able to give linal judgment on budget requests. Members of the House Tax Committee range in age from 33 to 61. They represent such diverse interests as finance and farming. One is a freshman legislator, while two are serving their fourth terms in the house. Chairman Richard Eymann. D- Marcola, 44. served as executive secretary of the State Tax Com- mission under Gov. Robert Holmes after serving in the 1957 session. Kvmann returned to the House in 1961. He is a farmer and industrial consultant. Vice chairman is minority lead er F. F. Montgomery. K-Eugcne, 36.

The recommendation is planned if the legislaturo fails to adopt a sales tax, or does not submit one to a vote, according to Dr. Leon ard Maylield, Medford school su perintendent and secretary of the OASA legislative committee. He said such a recommendation would stipulate that any sales tax be earmarked for school purposes and for offsetting local property taxes. man of the State Board of Agriculture. Oldest member is Sidney Ba zett, 61, of Grants Pass. Republi can Bazett, a former vice presi dent of Bank of America, and now a finance company president, is serving his second term. Clinton Haight, D .- Baker, 54, was appointed to the legislature in 1957, and elected in 1958. 1960. and 1962. A motel owner, Haight also has served on the Interim Tax Committee. C. R.

Schwartz, department administrator of security and con sular affairs, has threatened to ire Frances G. Knight, longtime director of the passport offiie. Miss Knight has testified in a secret session of the Senate In ternal Security subcommittee that she regards present passport reg ulations concerning Communists as inadequate. The background of the dispute begins in 1958 when the Supreme Court, in a case called Kent vs, Dulles, struck down the secretary of slate's authority to deny pass- thorized it. Then, in October, 1961. the In ternal Security Act, which had been in a legal limbo since 1950. was finally upheld by the high court. It provided, for the first lime, a specific congressional mandate to withhold passports from Communist party members. The State and ustice depart ments drafted new regulations to implement the provision. These were announced Jan. 12. 1962, and were unique in U.S. law. For the first time in any major U.S. security program, the new regulations provided for hearings in which accused Communists would be confronted with the evi dence against the.
