Page of article, "Wirephoto Shows Lead: "Times" Keeps in Forefront...," Los Angeles, 1935

Description:
One of several related photographs housed in this negative sleeve that document the process of phototelegraphy -the process of transmitting photographic images over telephone wire. Though there were advancements - namely the Telediagraph, the Belinograph, and the Telephotograver (invented by Los Angeles Times managing editor Ralph Trueblood) – the technology left much room for improvement. In the 1930s, the Associated Press began working with Kodak to perfect the technology. On January 1, 1935, the AP sent the first photograph out over its Wirephoto service to 47 affiliated newspapers across the United States.

Political cartoon featuring oil clouds over the Santa Monica Bay, commentary on oil drilling, 1954

Description:
In 1954, a contractual agreement was made between General Petroleum and the Santa Monica City Council in which the oil concern was granted a 10-year lease on Santa Monica tidelands. General Petroleum offered the city $500,000 and 35% royalties from recovered oil. The contract was dependent on a voter referendum that would change pre-existing city ordinances, thus allowing for oil drilling in city-owned tidelands. The amendment proposal lost by a 3:1 margin.

Political cartoon commenting on Congressional Representative Mark S. Hogue, 1954

Description:
Photograph of a political cartoon drawn by Adelbert Bartlett. The drawing shows a man walking along a path. At left, a griffin flies over head with “LEFT-WING” printed on its wing.

The cross at center is being constructed with the help of a rope and pulley – the pulley being a diamond pendant. Beneath the cross is a posted flyer referring to Rev. Mark S. Hogue, 16th District Representative, and Democrat. The bill pronounces: “Hogue, yesterday’s candidate, unwitting pawn, [un-American] factions, unsound advice, untenable promises. What is a man profited. if he gain the whole world. yet lose his own soul…?” [Text at bottom:] “16th congressional position already filled. [Text at left:] Coming Election Day. The Sacrifice. Vote early.”
