SEERA A bhi ( Daylight saving is in effect this week for more than half the people of the U. S. A., with clocks moved ahead an hour in the heavily populated Atlantic seaboard and neighboring Eastern states. Californians have new interest in the. daylight saving question this year, since they will decide at. the . November election on a proposition to put it into effect here next year. Naturally. there is much controversy on the matter. An extra hour of daytime for recreation at beaches, fishing streams, mountain resorts and motoring has appeal for many in this outdoor-sport minded state. But there are others, including some theatre owners. who will undoubtedly oppose the movement. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors has under advisement a proposal to try out daylight saving in the bay city for the duration of the 1940 exposition. _If that proposal is adopted, Californians will have a practical laboratory test to observe at home—and so may be better able to judge whether daylight saving is really a forward step. Perhaps next year, California. following the lead of 15 other of the more populous states, will let the sun set the clock! RS Special Session Again o . On May 13, the State Legislature will reconvene in specjal session—to complete its work on the felief and tax problems, which was begun during the February meeting. During the recess period, legislative investigating committees have piled up shocking evidence, in mass array, of Communist infiltration, corruption, jolitical manipulation and almost unlievable extravagance in the State Relief Administration. There has also been conclusive proof, in the reduction of the relief case load and in the drop-off in relief applications, that the reforms instituted by the legislature at its February session were fully justified and have produced beneficial ‘results. Under the circumstances, it is to, be expected that the bipartisan legislative economy bloc, which has thus far defied the pressure gangs, will stay by its guns, and either insist that _ relief administration be returned to the counties, or that drastic restrictions be placed on SRA officials to enforce compliance with sensible, economical standards. Public officials have played fast and loose with taxpayers’ money far too’ long. It is time to ‘‘live and let live” in California; to deal decently with the deserving needy and to deal fairly with the working people who must pay the bills. And the economy bloc members should be given the wholehearted support of the people back home in achieving those objectives. Cure For Carelessness From the standpoint of practical safety work, the proposal to include courses in auto driving in the public school currilulum_ seems well worth consideration. Diagnosing the deadly motor accident malady as mainly a disease of carelessness, Dr. Walter Scott Franklin, new president of the California Safety Council, prescribes the safety education of youth as the major element of cure. The council further recommends a general tightening of rules, strict enforcement of _ traffic laws, uniform court procedure, rigid care in the issuance of licenses, and license revocation for offending drivers found handicapped by physical or mental disabilities or by dangerous habits such as driving while intoxicated. Since it is difficult, with the habitual adult offender, to effect a radical change in driving habits, stricter enforcement of the law, and in extreme cases, banishment from the road, May be the only effective course. But good habits as well as bad are most easily formed in youth, and virtually every child is a potential motorist. School training to insure careful, conscientious, highway-wise drivers in the generation now growing up might eventually earn California a safety record she falls short of today. California's boys and girls may have an opportunity, through Dr. Franklin's program, to redeem this state's traffic accident record, now the blackest in the nation. GAS TAX ALLOTTED . TO STATE COUNTIES “SACRAMENTO, May 3.—(UP)— ; Apportionment of $11,882,490 in Sasoline tax collections for the first three months of 1940—the largest distribution for any quarter in the history of the state—was announced today by State Controller Harry B.

WESTERN STATES SACRAMENTO, April 29.—(UP) —The federal government’s food stamp plan for distribution of surplus commodities to relief clients has now been extended to sections of 10 erated in cooperation with the state relief administration. At present it is effective only in Los Angeles county and San Francisco, but probably will be extended to other sections of the stat@ later. ORGANIZE GIRL SCOUTS ‘}and Mrs. 1 Politically Speaking By JOHN W. DUNLAP (United Press Staff Correspondent) SACRAMENTO, May 3.—(UP)— The magic date of May 7 may well be a turning point in the political life ‘of Lieut. Gov. Ellis E. Patterson. Patterson has had an interesting career to date, highlighted by his liberal stay in the state assembly from Monterey county, and surprise victory as lieutenant governor. in 1938. It was surprise, in fact, to everyone but Patterson He predicted victory for ‘himself, worked hard, and laughed down his scoffers by riding to victory on the Democratic pension landslide with Governor Olson and Senator Sheridan Downey. But Patterson had his sights on bigger game. He announced his can“didacy for United States senator well in advance, lined up left wing support and hoped to snare the: Democratic nomination from: veteran Hiram Johnson. ; Then when the Democrats tried to form a “harmony” ‘ticket for the reelection of President Roosevelt, Patterson joined the circle as a presidential delegate. He soon broke away however, and formed his own ticket. The result is that Patterson of Labor’s Non-Partisan League and other similar groups, are before the voters on a clear cut issue, There is no tiein with other factions. Patterson even cut away from President Roosevelt’s coat-tails. Should the Patterson ticket get a good solid vote, the liberal cause would benefit and his chances in the senatorial campaign enhanced. But on the other hand, should the three other tickets and the AFL opposition draw enough votes to. other slates, the left-wingers may be left holding the sack. A poor vote May 7 would leave no alibi and clearly show lack-of strength of Patterson’s support. It would be a_ backward boomerang in his campaign for senator. Patterson’s singular success at the polls to date will be at stake in this primary battle. It would seem he has little to gain and nearly everything to lose. Almost the same situation exists for the Ham and Egg forces of Willis Allen. Should the pensioners make.a fine showing in the primary election, it might help their support on another initiative battle in November. If their forces appear split and demoralized at the primary, it will encourage anti-ham and egg forces for future contests. The pension leaders claim that 10,000 petitions are being circulated to get ham and eggs on the November ballot. The rewritten plan, is far more liberal in its promised benefits than the two previous initiatives defeated in 1938 and 1939. It reduces the $30 every Thursday scrip payments to $20 every Tuesday but also includes a payment of seven one-dollar scrip certificates for every unemployed person bétween the ages of 21 and-50, and seven for al] students between 21 and 24, A great many Republicans were puzzled.to find. the name of State Senator Jerrold Seawell at the top of the GOP delegation on the sample ballots, Some did not know Mr. Seawell, others though someone else on the list was more deserving, and many wondered if he was a bona fide candidate for president. Since the Republicans chose to go uninstructed to the (Philadelphia convention, the delegation had to be pledged to some one for the: purposes of filling out the ballot. But as soon as one vote, is cast at the convention for Seawell, he then can and will release the delegates for any candidate. Seawell was chosen chiefly because he is president pro tem of the Republican majority in the state senate. He is an-insurance agent in the small city of Roseville, north of Sacramento, and ran for lieutenant governor in 1938. With the lack of contest in the Republican ranks, it is doubtful if 50-60 per cent bracket. The Democratic vote should be heavy. Then there are the other 171,000 persons who are disenfranchised because they registered in minor parties without tickets or refused to state. HOLD ELECTION J.
