The driver, Williams, stopped for a car in front, triggering the pileup described as a one in a million miracle. The same region reports Mrs. Walter J. Moore seriously injured in a culvert fall along Highway 101.

Hayward Annex Battle Over City Expansion Continues
Hayward officials report no orders to switch coverage from Hillview Crest to Alden E and Millicent Schafer areas as annexation moves forward. Critics argue 2400 acres south of the city, largely farm and industrial land, is not ripe for urbanization and voter control rests with Hillview Crest residents. They say annexation under the inhabited territory act of 1913 requires a different threshold and voter base.
