EMPLOYMENT — BOARD HAS 5) MILLION FUND SACRAMENTO, Jan. 6.—California’s ‘new employment stabilization commission, appointed only four months ago by Governor Earl Warren, wound up the year 1943 with $451,000,000 in this state’s unemployment trust fund —— a ‘sum ‘the commission is husbanding carefully in ‘aniticipation of postwar uhemployment insurance‘ payments. Although the Hew ¢oMmission has had‘onty four ‘moiths Operating expérieticé, its members—Homer W. Buckley, chairman; Bdgar FE) Lamipton, ‘vice’ chairman; ’ Michael’ B. Kinz, T. H. Mugford and James G. Bryant<—liive “ina short space of timé’ resolved ‘many of the trying problems connected with unemployment insufance ‘edllections and disbursements, and aré on the road’ to solutions of ‘other problems which have annoyed employer and employe alike sincé inauguration of the system in 1936. Aa im During the past year, $165,000;000 was added to the unemployment trust fund, plus nearly $7,000,000: interest. Most important problem confronting the commission at’ the ‘preseat time is the question of whether or not the fund is adequate to’ meet the anticipated demand for ‘unemployment insurance the war. a Shortly after its condiningent: the new commission inaugurated surveys to determine the answer to this question as accurately as possible, and these surveys are cortinuing at the present time. The new comr ission lost no. time in tackling other matters important te the succes?/ul. administration of’ an unemployment. insurance gram. Immediately « after appointment, representatives of business, industry, labor and. the public sat down with the commission and dis-. . cussed their problems on many occasions. . ’ As a reyult of these conferences, the commission is now proposing a new procedure which will relieve employers of sending thousands of separation notices.to the, depariment. It. is expected that this new procedure will be in’ effect early in 1944. addition, the commission met interim committees. from both the state senate. and assembly, and . discussed probable changes in the . unemployment: insurance act.

officials against launching the proposed. huge new steel plant at Geneva, Utah, is the tip-off: that eastern industrialists are out-pressuring the west in the nation’s capital. The tremendous contribution that the west in general—and California in particular—has made, and is making in winning the war in the heavy industry field has brought this state to either No. 1 or No. 2 position among all the industrial states of the nation. But that, winning us friends and recognition in Washington, seems to have had the opposite effect; it has alarmed eastern. industrialists, with their heavy, investments in eastern indus‘tries, and there is a determined drive on to strip this state and ‘the west, of their new industries-when peacé comes. : The political significance of this economic struggle between the old If jeast and the new west—if the west is in a fighting mood, and determin-' ed to hold and extend its gains—-. ‘will be sharply avident in both the’ ‘Republican and Democratic nation-; al conventions. For about the only way. that California can be assured of fair treatment in the national industrial picture is to put the various candidates for president (and lesser offices) on record while they are still candidates, and in vital need of iCalifornia’s votes in’ the political conventions and the elections to follow. . ‘ of the ‘‘big five” With the power to make its influence felt even dgainst (New York and Pennsylvania and IIlinois, if QGalifornia representatives recognize that the etate’s industrial ious use of its political proxies.

FOOD INDUSTRY MAKES VAST MIET CHANGES About: the only fresh fruit our grandparents had all winter when they were youngsters. were apples stored away in the vegetable cellar, which was sometimes a little distance from the house. By spring, the apples were apt to be pretty soft and shriveled. An orange was a Christmas delicacy, often put in the toe’. of the children’s Christmas stocking. A banana was a delicacy. Grapefruit was unheard of. Grandma probably grew some parsley or some chives in the window box for something. green for savor during the white winter months. "Modern refrigeration, gréen-hous. ing, transportation, quick freezing, and dehydration and other techniques and dévelopments ot the food industry liave ‘changed all this. ° Té is almost tfue ‘that there is no}, time of Year when any fruit’ or vegetable is “‘Out’ of season.” Now most Américanis [haVe orange juice for breakfast!
