6 June 13, 1942 Redlahds Daily Facts Eisner warns of danger of mudslides from soft eartti fill Hillside home sites in south Redlands may face the danger of damaging mudslides next winter unless preventive measures are taken now. Planning Consultant Simon Eisner warned yesterday. Eisner told the Planning Commission that building pads cut in the side of hills are not being adequately compacted to insure stability of the earth around new homes. "There is a real danger that the loose fill dirt will break loose and flood homes below if heavy rains fall again next winter," the consultant declared. He added, "The problem is serious enough to bring to the attention of the City Council." Spurred into action by Eisner's report, the Planning Commission promptly moved that the matter be referred to the Council with a recommendation that the Council adopt a protective ordinance if necessary.

The ordinance would require building contractors to comnact the total area of fill lots. Planning Director W. C. Schindler pointed out that at present contractors are required to compact only the foundation area on which the home is to be constructed. Eisner stated that the greatest danger lies in the loose end slopes.

"Plantings will not hold this soft earth," he said. Schindler conceded that the matter was an engineering rather than a planning problem, but added that he had been concerned about it for some time. Yesterday Schindler took Eisner on a tour of hillside lots to examine the stability of the fill dirt. Eisner told the Commission that in one instance, he stuck his foot in a filled slope and all the durt around his. foot caved in.

"The situation is exactly like that which exists in the Beverly Hills and 861 Aur districts of Los Angeles where so many mudslides occurred last winter," Eisner said. Eisner, in addition to being a planning consultant for Redlands and a number of other communities, is a licensed architect and an instructor at the University of Southern California's School of Architecture.

Operating on Ultra High Frequency Channel 24, the ETV station began a series of equipment tests leading toward its formal li- censfag by the Federal Communications Commission. Once the equipment tests are complete, the station will begin program tests.

It is due to begin uistructional broadcasting, broadcasting for classroom use, in September. As yet, not all equipment has been installed, and much construction remains to be done. College President H. J. Sheffield yesterday pushed the button that put the station on the air.

In the main control room he shoved home a button activating a switch that supplies high voltage to the fmal stage of the transmitter. Informal telephone checks of the coverage area of the station revealed that it was received well in Redlands, Rialto, Riverside, and throughout much of San Bernardino. A later and precise series of tests and measurements will be made of the coverage of the station, according to a member of the station's engineering staff. The station will be the first ETV station in California owned and operated by a public agency, and is the only ETV station presently operating in Southern California.

Teachers demand raise in Los Angeles LOS ANGELES than 200 teachers appeared the Board of Education Monday to demand pay raises amounting to million a year. Many of the teachers demanded the recently defeated bond issues and tax override proposal be submitted to the voters.

Hank Zivetz, executive secretary of Local 1021 of the American Federation of Teachers, called defeat of Propositions and "a rebuke to classroom teachers by a callous electorate." Earlier, school administrators said only $5 million is available in the proposed budget for salary increases for both teaching and non- teaching personnel.
