CENTER — PH. 2931 OPEN EVENINGS Nobody Has Lower Terms or Better Service SNAFU-d Capitol Lawn Job Refused SACRAMENTO (CNS) — To many weeds and too many basins in the new lawn around the state Capitol today caused the State Division of Architecture to refuse to accept the installation. Planted by Capital Nursery Co., successful bidder at $4695 for the lawn, the seeding ran into 'ba luck' according to Anson Boyd's state architect. But Boyd said the state wouldn't take the law until it has a 'good grass job'. Ever since the park remodeling started, there has been a civil uproar over elimination of the terraces and the pulling out of trees, which included redwood palms, magnolias and stone pine. The division of architecture said elimination of the trees would make the lawn grow better. MOVING-STORAGE General Trucking —PHONE 2123— 505 N.

The hospital, evacuated at the first shock, was put back in use and was full. The Red Cross and Edwards air base crews set up emergency medical centers and kitchens. Every one of the town's 15 major buildings suffered some damage. Beds hung over the edge as the wall of the Juanita hotel fell out. The potofice, an ice cream parlor, three bars, two markets, a motel, a clothing store all suffered some damage. Doctors and nurses were flown in when ambulances met slide-blocked roads. They included not only civilians mobilized by Red Cross, but rescue crews from Edwards' air force base and the navy's rocket testing base at China lake. AN AMATEUR radio operator quoted Carl Thurber of the Kern county sheriff's aero detail, who flew in Red Cross detail, Olive Soldier Gets Rest Leave CAMP NARA, Japan — Cpl. Arthur D. Franz, 8582 Orange st., Olive, recently was enjoying the recreational facilities of Camp Nara's Rest and Recuperation center during a five-day leave from the 3rd Infantry Division in Korea. Camp Nara, located in one of Japan's most famous resort cities, is a part of the Southwestern Command, largest of three commands in the Japanese Islands, which has the mission of furnishing supplies and services to troops in Korea and U.S. Forces in Japan. Franz, who has completed 10 months of service, was last assigned to Fort Sam, Houston, Texas, where he took basic training. Local Man Assigned To Army Hospital WITH U.S. FORCES IN JAPAN Pvt. Alroy M. Flack, son of Leo Flack, 7421 Katella ave., and Mrs. Verna Cancilla, 2750 Union st., San Francisco, has been assigned to the U.S. Army hospital in Sendal, Japan.

They included not only civilians mobilized by Red Cross, but rescue crews from Edwards air force base and the navy's rocket testing base at China lake. AN AMATEUR radio operator quoted Carl Thurber of the Kern county sheriff's aero detail, who flew in Red Cross workers, as reporting two thirds of the city's buildings collapsed, with one house caved in and a family probably trapped. In Sacramento the state capital, state civil defense headquarters ordered medical equipment mobilized to fly into the area. Tehachapi, with a population of about 3000, is on U.S. 466, between Bakersfield and Mojave, a little mountain town 4000 feet high, many of whose residents work at the big Monolith Portland cement plant nearby. It also is the site of the state women's prison, which was reported so hard hit that most of its cluster of two-story buildings are unusable. A call went out for tents in which to house the 327 inmates, including all of California's women convicted of felonies. The prisoners were reported panic stricken but unhurt. Sheriff's captain, F. D. Jones, said he understood most of the dead were in an old brick hotel. The town's residential district CAVEINS were reported in at least two tunnels in the area, used jointly by the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railroads, and all travel was blocked. The S. P.'s main line to San Francisco which runs along the coast, was not damaged. The Santa Fe said it would move its passengers by bus. But the main traveled route between here and Bakersfield, the Ridge route (U.S. 99) was blocked by a slide near Gorman. A highway patrolman said "it seems like the top of a mountain slid off," burying the busy, four lane freeway route under 25 feet of dirt at one point. At least 10 persons were hospitalized at Mojave, 20 miles east of Tehachapi. A motel and store at Grapevine was reported wrecked, with two persons injured. The strongest quake in Southern California in nearly a half-century, the thinly populated area in which it hit kept the death toll from being much higher. Its force was felt mostly in a rolling motion, from San Francisco on the north to the Mexican border on the south, and eastward into Nevada.

SECURITY-FIRST NATIONAL BANK ANAHEIM BRANCH CENTER AT LEW Walter R. Schmid of Garden Grove Named as Chairman Of New Permanent Committee to Study Water Interests Walter R. Schmid of Garden Grove, chairman of the water problems committee of the Orange county farm bureau, has been elected chairman of the new permanent committee formed by water interests to study replenishment of the underground water supply and equitable methods of distributing its costs. Walter Knott, representing Bueran Park area, was named vice-chairman of the group, and W. D. Miller, secretary of the Orange county water district, was chosen as secretary of the committee, which met in the water district offices. Preliminary plans for approaching their problem were discussed by the group, which sounded as a keynote of procedure, a general desire to avoid litigating water rights and allocating water supply, in view of the unenviable experience of Los Angeles county's west basin in that field. West basin, with an annual overdraft of 50,000 acre feet, employed court proceedings to apportion use of water and curtail pumping. ROSS SHAFER, water consultant from Tustin and member at large of the committee, reported formation of a state-wide committee which will recommend legislation to set up machinery by which local areas may raise revenues to pay the cost of importing water. In Orange county, water leaders have discussed the plan of placing meters upon all pumps in the basin and levying an extraction tax, to distribute the cost of importing water on the basis of amount consumed. Los Angeles county's central basin now is working out such a plan, it was reported. Central basin leaders were told by Walter Brown, long time Long Beach water superintendent, that experience in the west basin demonstrates that merely introducing imported water into the local supply does not guarantee its use, and that there must be "some compelling force" especially if the cost of the new supply exceeds the cost of well water to accomplish such use. In the west basin it was a legal decree, curtailing all pumping rights. "IN THE CENTRAL basin, however the central basin ground advantage that, instead of curtailing pumping rights and requiring large expenditures for the construction of transmission mains and reservoirs to deliver and store an auxiliary supply, it puts the auxiliary supply underground within reach of present pumps and preserves pumping rights intact." The committee has fixed its regular meeting date as the third Wednesday of each month, and set its next meeting for Aug. 20 at 7:30 p.m. in the water district offices. ATTENDING THE session were Schmid, Knott, Shafer, President J. W. Crill of the water district, President Glenn P. Allen, Orange, of the Orange county municipal water district; Mayor Courtney Chandler of Santa Ana and Mayor Charles Pearson of Anaheim; H. H. Kohlenberger, representing Fullerton area; E. T. Watson of Santa Ana river Development Co. (the two major water companies); W. B. Hellis, manager of Irvin Ranch Co., and State Senator-elect John A. Murdy, Jr., member-at-large. Also present were Councilman William Jerome, Jr., Santa Ana, George Vandenburg of Anaheim, and Howard Crooke, president of the Associated Chambers of Commerce, who were on the steering committee which selected the permanent committee. The steering committee was instructed to recommend two more Norpark Homes made its debut this weekend as the city of Anaheim's newest residential community, with the preview showing of four furnished model homes, it was announced yesterday by Hahn-St. John, general contractors and sponsors of the new $3,500,000 development. The property located at East Center and Evergreen sts., on Anaheim's rapidly growing east side, is composed of 284 three-bedroom and two-bedroom and den homes with 1 and one-half baths in each. Set against a scenic background of orange groves, Norpark Homes combines the advantages of suburban living with easy access to the major employment centers of Anaheim, Long Beach and Los Angeles. FORTY HIGHLY varied elevations will be feathered in the new community, based upon four distinctively styled flour plans. The four model homes, decorated in maple, traditional, modern and provincial motifs by the Araron Schultz stores of Long Beach, are open to the public every day of the week from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Norpark Homes may be reached by driving east on Center st. in Anaheim to the development at Evergreen st., 17 blocks east of Los Angeles st. "IN THE CENTRAL basin, however, the central basin ground water plan has been endorsed as a substitute for a similar but far more extensive adjudication suit. This plan also requires a compelling force, and provides it within its own framework, and in a more desirable and less expensive form. The power of the ground water assessment district, to assess all ground water production is that force."
