COVERS RICHEST GOLD AREA IN CALIFORNIA:
By H. M. L.
It was reallly time that a red
herring was dragged over the trail
of California ‘‘reds.’’
With the
“ecenomy bloc’’ in full cry after
the governor’s relief set-up, and
the governor ' himself
so
hard
pressed: that he threy a.communistic gent named Plunkett to the
pack, and with the majority of the
state legislature, dividing its time
between the budget debate and a
discussion of whether or’ not the
relief administration be given a
thorough probing, the red herring
makes its appearance.
The governor produces some ‘‘confidential
correspondence”
