Los Angeles on smog alert, Braves win against Cards, September 19, 1958

Los Angeles urged to drive less and reduce smog  Ozone levels in the region reach 0.53 per million, which would be a Stage 3 alert in 2008.

The "Mating Urge," in "flaming color." Imdb says this wasn't released until 1959. Oops.

Girl crushed in elevator Los Angeles goes on what was then a Stage 1 smog alert. Today it would be a Stage 3. A Times editorial suggests offering an award for the invention of an "afterburner" for cars. Also, a young woman dies in an extremely peculiar accident at the home of a wealthy La Jolla family. On the jump, the City Council holds a hearing on redevelopment of Bunker Hill and a former football star is killed when his car spins out of control in Sylmar. In sports, Braven Dyer has an amusing story about illegally widening the football field at the Coliseum. Probably not true, but funny.  The pill goes on sale Oregon favored over USC
