Secretary of State Paul Peek explained the unusual situation arose because only the two major parties! have delegations on the _ ballot. Therefore, any voter registered in the minor parties or who declined to state has no one to vote for, and thus is automatically disqualified. There are 3,652,274 registered in the state, an all time record. Of this; total, there was 2,172,853 Democrats} and 1,308,211 Republicans, the other parties, all barred from the election, had the following totals: The Townsendites 24,307, Progressiv4, 8004; Prohibition 5770; Socialist 4200; (but not a qualified party any longer); Communist, 820; scattering, 772; declined to state, 127,437. It will be seen the largest group of those not voting come under the “declined to state’’ column. Incidentally, the Russian invasion of Finland may have contributed to e drop in registered communists from 1310 in 1938 to 820 in 1940.

Thomas Kuchel, the assemblymaa from north Orange county, has made ‘f\an official announcement of his can-. didacy for state senator from Orange county, succeeding Harry Westover, whom Governor Olson appointed to the superior court bench after the 1939 session. Kuchel is ending his second term as an assemblyman and will be favored to win the senatorial post. His election would add another anti-Olson Republican to the heavy majority already, serving in the senate. It is somewhat of\a tossup which faction would succeed Kuchel in the lower house.

Instructions to the department’s local offices througout the state have been issued by R. G.

The cleanup was ordered by the commission at a recent meeting in San Francisco, where Wagenet advised the group that a continued check by the department indicated further steps must be taken to eliminate fraudulent practices. A resolution introduced by A. K. Salz, commissioner representing. the small employers, paved the way for the action. The resolution not’ only instructed ‘department personnel to pay closer attention to borderline claims, but also requested employees and employers to cooperate. with the department to stamp out the practice. _ “In spite of prosecutions which have resulted in heavy penalties in many: instances,’’ Wagenet said, to unemployment when they are actusually receiving wages higher than their weekly benefit amounts. “Tt is to the interests of workers and employers alike to halt this malpractice, Every ‘fraudulent claim means that some worker may be deprived of legitimate benefits at a later. date, should funds run low, and from the employer side, experience rating may be adversely affected.” Wagenet said he believed that chiseling could be eliminated through the cooperation of the department, workers, employers, unions, * trade organizations, and other interested in furthering the purposes of the unemployement insurance act. As a result of the resolution, more prosecutions can be expected in the near future, according to the director. ‘Claimants obtaining money from the fund to which they are not entitled must learn that sooner or later, the department will discover the fraud, and will institute proceedings,” said Waganet. “‘We caninot and will not tolerate malingering on the fund, which has been contributed in good faith by employee and employer for the benefit of the entire state.”’ Department records show that Social Events Civie Club Garden Section Will Meet Tomorrow The garden section of the Civic Club. will meet at the home of Mrs. Richard Bennetts on.
