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.

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.
The welcoming address will be
given by Junior Class President
Kathy DeGrande, and Senior
Class President Joe Kerns will
make the acceptance speech. Ju
niors Terry Shumaker and Peg
Baldwin will present the class
prophecy, and Larry Woods will
read the senior class will.
Sam Cox, Mike Beymer, Bill
Dixon, Steve Rand and Mike Pea
cock form a musical group called
"The Cools," and will entertain.
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?

crats and four Republicans who
make up the House Tax Commit
tee are faced with the toughest
job of this legislative session -drafting
a new tax program.
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.

Association of School Administra

to recommend to the Oregon Edu

an initiative measure fur a sales

general election, it was learned
here today.
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.

ance of U.S. passports to Communists.
Abba P. 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
