WARREN WINS
ROTIND ONE IN
GOVERNOR BOUT
By CLEM WHITAKER
The gubernatorial battle has
reached the slugging stage—and Attorney General Earl Warren, with
his blasting attack on Governor Olson’s spending proclivitiés, has won
Round One, according to the exPerts at ringside.
Mr. Warren, non-partisan — challenger for the gubernatorial title,
flattened the Olson claims to having;
built up a state treasury surplus in
his first major attack of the campaign and left the governor’s crown
badly askew.
(Charged Mr. Warren:
“California has achieved a measure of solvency in state government,
despite Governor Olson, not because
of him, and the credit belongs to the
members of the legislature who refused to approve his exorbitant demands for appropriations.
“Let’s get the record straight. The
Olson administration has been guilty
of the most profligate waste and
misuse of public funds in-the state’s
history. If Governor Olson had had
his way, there would be no surplus
in the state treasury, instead there
would be a staggering deficit and the
people of California would be carrying much heavier tax. load than is
now imposed upon them.’’
Then, giving credit where credit
is due, Attorney General Warren asserted:
“The credit for the -present surplus
belongs to the courageous members
of the state legislature, both Democrats and Republicans, who fought
Governor Olson to a standstill, despite every conceivaible type of political pressure, and who reduced his
prodigal demands for funds by more
than $125,000,000. It was these same
splendid legislators who __ defeated
Governor Olson’s. demands for more
than $75,000,000 in new taxes. And
it is these same legislators mwhom
Governor Olson is now trying desperately-te—‘purge’*: ?
Mr. Warren’s statement is of more
than passing significance. It means

local communities could not be warned of the approach of enemy. aircraft,and would not be in a position
to take the passive defense measures for which such communities are
organized. There devolves upon these
communities, therefore, the responsibility to assist the ground observation posts and where a community !
or county is no able to do this the
State Council of Defense has indicated its willingness to assist them.
General Kepner said, “in providing
for the more urgent requirements
pertaining to maintenace of the
ground observation corps it will be
essential that this command have direct control of the corps.” This is
understood to mean that the army
will exercise direct supervision over
the corps through civilian supervisors. ‘appointed by the command in
each county and in districts within
a county. The county director will
remain in charge of the posts in his
county. The state directors in each
one of the three states on the Pacific Coast will serve as liaison officers with the IV Fighter Command.
General Kepner indicated his command was deeply indebted to the
state and county representatives for
the assistance they had given the
command since Pearl Harbor. He al=
so expressed thanks to all observers
and chief observers for their loyalty
and devotion to the ground observation corps. Without these patriotic
citizens, who serve with little recognition from the community at large,
it would not now be. possible for the
IV Fighter Command to perform its
mission of defending the Pacific
(Coast from enemy attack by air. .
