Page Four ” WITH YOUR ASSEMBLYMAN SCOOP THURMAN AT THF STATE CAPITOL As the assembly began its delibera-. tions this week one of the first items under consideration was the old age . pension bill, which last week had! been amended to eliminate the elause that no relative of an aged person would be held responsible for his or her support. Also the lower house amended the bill to restore the clause which reinstated the provision . several additional millions of dollars that the counties shall pay but $5 as) lits share of the old age pension. The relatives responsibility clause is one of the controversial issues in the pension bill which calls for a pension of $50 a month to aged persons.65 years and over. Those opposed to the elimination of the relative clause state that it will cost the state vo ewe I ¢ you need funds to buy real estate, to refinance an exiting real estate loan, or to borrow on real estate fox any purpose, talk to an official of Bank of America.

Those opposing believe that the aged persons should share alike in the distribution pensions whether they have relatives who could contribute to their support or not. It is a hotly contested issue and 'may delay the passage of the pension bill as it now stands. The alien land law bill by, Senator Engle which will tighten up the law as it pertains to Japanese, passed the lower house last week. The writer and other legislators introduced similar bills but inasmuch.as all of the features of the other bills are conPtained in the Engle bill, these will not be taken up. While both houses have passed the adjournment resolution setting the date of, May 15th as the final day of the session it is doubtful if the work of the session will be completed by that time and in this writer’s opinion we will be working under a stopped clock for two ‘or three days. There are several hundred bills on the file yet to come up for consideration and as many of these bills are of a controversial nature it will naturally slow up the work of tthe two * houses. The constitutional amendment introduced to permit the people to vote on the question of moving the state capitol to Monterey is again before the legislature, introduced hy the assemblyman from’ that district. This peice of legislation appears to have the Sacramento legislators and the people of.the capitol city more or less alarmed. Both Sacramento newspapers are vigorously opposing the bill. This writer feels certain that the proponents of the measure cannot secure the necessary 54 votes to pass it in the lower house and wel feel certain that if the measure ever reached tthe upper house it would die in committee. It would, in otrr opinion, be foolish to move the capitol with all of its historic back ground away from Sacramento to ‘Monterey or any other place. As one legislator says: ‘‘the proposal is fantastic.’’. DEPUTY SHERIFF RESIGNS Willard J. O’Hara, deputy sheriff, is resigning his post, effective May first. He plans to enter defense industry. He was formerly manager of Grass Valley branch of a large Northern California grocery chain. Sheriff Carl J. Tobiassen announced the resignation of O’Hara with regret. : Tie railroads are carrying a tremendous load of war freight as well as troops and their equipment. This freight must be moved quickly, efficiently and without delay, for this is vital to the war effort. This freight includes equipment for our armed forces, materials for shipyards, airplane factories and other plants whose products are needed to win the war, THE SITUATION: Many War Trains delayed for lack of Brakemen! THE REMEDY: Suspend California’s stringent “Full Crew Law” ‘during the War Emergency. ; the number of bra any other State of The California railroads, therefore, ‘are asking the California legislature to suspend the provisions of the law requiring more than two brakemen per train. They ask this suspension for the period of the war emergency only. kemen requiied ci used in the Union. * not be forced to ask their children ON SCREEN LAST for support contending that all should! . : LF . Nevada. Theatre had its first showLike most other industries the railroads are short of manpower, and unfortunately many freight , trains were delayed in California last year for lack of brakemen. As an example of delays, one California railroad alone had 226 trains delayed from 15 minutes to 22 hours during a ten day period in October, for lack of brakemen. Other roads had similar difficulties in meeting their wartime responsibility. As our war effort : is increased, particularly on the West Coast, the i railroads will have more and more passengers and freight to carry. 1943 will exceed 1942 in train movements. { An important factor in the shortage of brakemen in California is the California ‘Full Crew Law,” which specifies the number of brakemen on trains according to their length and the grades on which the trains operate, There are only 14 states out of the 48 which : have ‘Full Crew Laws’’ and California’s law is i the most restrictive, burdensome and stringent of them all.Many. freight trains carry: double i domven The California “Full Crew Law” was passed ~ way back in 1911 and the California railroads contend that there are no reasons now for the excessive number of brakemen required by the California law. And brakemen will still have plenty of employment, for during the war emergency there will be no necessity to ‘make work” for any class of railroad employees, including brakemen. You know the importance of railroad freight transportation in the war effort. You have proved this by a considerate and understanding attitude when passenger trdins have been deélayed by freight traffic. We are therefore issuing this frank statement in order that you may know our problem, what we are asking of the legislature, and why. “Make production” and not ‘‘make work” legislation is our country’s need now.

and the regular shows last night and tonight. ‘ Out-of-doors and_ particularly a forest fire is the perfect set-up for an -effective use of technicolor, and when you place two beauteous redheads like Pauline Goddard and Susan Hayward against a background of brilliant, greens, browns and scarlets, you have a scenic beauty sufficient ‘to enchant the eye of every audience in the country. However “Forest Rangers’’ doesn’t rely on eye appeal alone. For one thing, the activities of the rangers who ingeniously fight forest conflagrations in government protected woods by the use of modern science is a real revelation.
