! New Quakes,
Less Severe,
.Hit California
2 Fires Are Started
By Shocks Centered
On Bakersfield
BY the Asscciuted Press

BAKERSFIELD, Calf, July 20
Two sharp earthquake jolts hit
Bakersfield early today. starting
two fires and sending frightened
residents into the streets as win-
dows broke and bricks fell from
damaged buildings.
The new tremors at 1905 am.
and 1:02 am, were felt through
out Southern California, includ-
ing the Los Angeles area, but were
strongest in Bakersfield.
One six-room house was badly
damaged when gas line to a
water heater was broken by the
tremor. the county fire depart
ment reported. A portion of the
roof OF a machine shop collapsed.
Shocks Not As Widespread.
Sheriff's Sergt. Carl L. Weber
said he believed the shock was as
intense. but didn't last as long
as the July 81 earthquake that
left a toll of 13 dead, IL of them
in Kern County.
(The Columbia University
seismograph station in New York
said the quakes were is times
less severe than last week's.)
Today's quakes were not as,
widespread as the original tremor. /,
Although felt in the Los Angeles
area, there were no reports Of
tremors in the San Francisco area
to the north or San Diego at the
southern end of the State. The
July 81 tremor was felt from San
Francisco to the Mexican border.
The new jolts brought the
evacuation of approximately 20l
patients from one wing of the
Kern County General Hospital.
More than 100 patients had been
removed from this wing after last
weeks quake.
Precautionary Measure.
Officials said the action today
was taken as precautionary
measure and there was no evi-
dence of further damage to the
wing. Patients in another four
story section Of the hospital were
not moved.
Those taken out of the institu-
ton were placed in small one.
story buildings on the hospital
grounds.
Short circuits caused many
transformers to blaze up and
there were numerous fire calls.
However. City Fire Dispatcher
Betty Hollibaugh said that aside
from the house and a transformer
blaze there were no other fires,
She said the shock set off many
fire alarm boxes.
The Fire Department inhalator
squad answered two calls for
heart attack cases shortly after
the quakes.
Report Loud Explosion.
Soon after the first tremor
residents reported they heard a
loud explosion. However, sheriff's
officers said they believed the
noise probably was from the
earthquake rather than an ex-
plosion.
At Tehachapi, which bore the
brunt of the original quake,
Sheriff's Deputy Charles Scott
said there was no evidence of adj
ditional damage. At nearby Taft
residents ran into the streets and
Richard Clark, California high
way patrol officer. said it was the
most severe this town had expe.
rienced since July 81.
The 18th victim of the original
quake died in Los Angeles yester-
day. He was Oliver c. Martinson,
30. a retired shoemaker. He and
his wife, Karen, IS. were thrown
from their bed and lay on the
floor two hours before neighbors
heard their means. Mrs. Martini
son is still under a doctors care.

Other points of interest that were

A final note on this said: "These

beautiful Susquehanna River, the
Lehigh and Wyoming Valleys"
In some of these old papers l no
tice the odd way of stating some
things. One is the way of calling
parties "sociables."
And here is one little thing that
surprises me. As l have real in
terest in all things pertaining to
photography, and have numerous
products with the name "Ansco" on
them, was surprised to find that
name on products advertised in a
1905 Hagerstown newspaper. AS
you know, for many years before
the second World War; "Agfa," and
the combination, "Agfa Ansco" were
widely advertised products, and dur
ing the war the "Agfa" part sudden
ly disappeared, and since, we have
"Ansco." But here in 1905 1 find an
ad like this:

The ad goes on to talk of ode
papers. )" and looks very much as
though it might belong in a Hagers-
town paper of today
One little note above l must in
vestigate: that reference to both
phones"
In closing, imagine your name in
the paper today, just because you
made an auto trip to Chambersburg!

All IA Missing Fishermen
Reported Saved in Atlantic

SANTA MARIA, Azores. Sept.
30.-An "a men aboard the Portu-
guese fishing vessel Joao Costa
which sank in the stormy Atlantic
a week ago have been picked up
by freighters, it was reported here
today.
Tears turned into cheers of
rejoicing in the Portuguese port
of Figueira Dafoz. where most of
the men made their home. Church
bells rang and bands played when
the news was flashed.
The 773-ton cod fisher was en-
route home from the Newfound-
land Grand Banks when she
foundered. The American freighter
Compass, out of New York, picked
up IL survivors yesterday. It was
reported today that a British
freighter picked up IS crewmen
and the French freighter Hen
riette Schutt, 27.
Earlier reports said the Joao
Costa carried 90 men but a re-
check showed she had aboard a
crew of 73 and a shipwrecked
seaman picked up from another
boat.

and advisers and probably manned
modern ar-controlled antiair-
craft guns manufactured in the
Soviet Union.
The officer cannot be identified
but he holds a responsible post
that qualified him to speak au-
thoritatively.
He conceded that some of those
reported to be Russians could be
East Europeans from Soviet satel-
lite countries.
Equipment Called Modern.
The officers described the anti
aircraft batteries at Red airfields
south Of the big Antung bases in
Manchuria as modern stuff. He
added that because available evil
dence has shown them to be
manned by Caucasians it was as
sumed Russians were at the guns.
His statements went much
farther than those of a North
Korean officer who surrendered
through the Panmunjom neutral
zone early this month. The Com
munist lieutenant, who was secur-
ity officer at the armistice site,
said last Saturday that he had
seen about 20 Russians at the ST.
nuiju airfield in June. 1851. The
airf1eld is in North Korea at the
Manchuria border.
The North Korean also said he
had heard that Russian advisers
were attached to the North
Korean army officers staff school
and that he had heard of Russian
pilots flying Communist jets.
High ranking American officers
have stated that Russian speaking
pilots in Communist jets have
been heard by Allied airmen who
overheard inter-com messages.
First Authoritative Statement.
The 9Th Army officer said There
is no question that there are Rus
slams up there in North Korea"
He declined to say precisely how

at several thousand"
His statements concerning Red
anti-aircraft batteries were per-
haps the first authoritative state
ment that Russians probably were
directing and firing guns against
United Nations fighters.
Reports have cropped up in
termittently of Caucasian forces
fighting in the Communist armies
in North Korea but these have
not been substantiated officially.
The Communists have consist
emily maintained that only the

in Korea except for a small Hun
