Feb. 17, 1938
Los Angeles
Los Angeles County, founded Feb. 18, 1850, prepares to celebrate its 88th anniversary … Irving Berlin’s daughter is out of the hospital … The City Council prepares to give the Navy 4 1/2 acres in Chavez Ravine that was once a smallpox hospital … Police complicity in the Harry Raymond bombing seems even more evident … On the jump, the city’s traffic engineer talks about his plan to ease congestion in downtown Los Angeles by removing most of the streetcar tracks. My, this certainly complicates our myth about the shadowy postwar conspiracy of bus companies and automobile manufacturers plotting to get rid of our sainted transportation system, doesn’t it?
