Wherever one looks nowadays the
mews is generally ‘bad. Across the
face ofthe nation strikes break out
like an angry pestilential rash. The
president refers tio the coal strike as
a national disater, and it is all of
that. Reconversion which really got
started after the steel strike was
settled, with the big bulge in the
hold-the-line-price policy of the administration, is now slowing down
and, unless some desperate expedient saves us, it will halt completely. f

BENEFITS ACT
SAICRAMEINTO, May 6—GoveNor
Warren today announced he had ?
quested prompt action on the par
of congress to enable California to;
start payment of disability imsmurance as soon as possible by drawing
on an employee contributien fund,
estimated at $100,000,000.
In a letter to all members of congress from California, the governor
ealled attention to the recently enacted disability insurance law adopted by the California legislature, and
pointed out payments can start as
soon as congress authorizes any state
to withdraw employee contributions
to the unemployment insurance fund
for use in payment at disability
benefits.
The governor’s action followed a
report from James G. Bryant, chairman of the California Employment
Stabilization Commission, that the
Social Security Board has no authority to allocate funds for payment
of disability insurance and that congressional action for commencement
of payments after May 21 when the
disability insurance law goes into
effect, is necessary.
Unless congress takes such action
payments will be held up until May,
1947 a year after the effective date
of the act.
In hig letter, the governor said:
“T am certain you will agree that
there is every social and economic
need for prompt action to enable:
this important new law to function
as soon as possible. Every day that
can be gained will be of great importance to workers who may suffer
disability and to their families.

PUBLIC RALLIED
TO EAT LAMB
OVER SUPPLY
By Ralph H. Taylor
‘From W. P. Kinig, secretary treasurer of the Californai Wool Growers ;
Association comes a story that is
cheering from every point of view
—a story of city farm cooperation in
solving a problem.
The problem was a real and very
itough one and finally was conquer-#
ed by the natural process of inviting all concerned to take a hand in
the matter. It was the problem of a
sudden glut-of spring lamb on the
market, despite the circumstance
that millions of city families were
‘Jamib hungry”
midwest.
A combination of circumstances
brought about the situation: To begin with there was a dearth of lamb
a few months back. A natural consequence of this shortage as Wing
‘points out was that retail butchers
were forced into the habit of saying
“sorry, Jady, no lamb today’? and
housewives became discouraged and .
largely gave up shopping for lamb.
About the time this negative
habit became generally established
the dearth was followed by a deluge
of heavy lamib in late February and
March. And then old Dame Nature
entered the picture, rather mischeviously. Due to unusually good feed
conditions in the fall and winter this
year’s spring lamib had an excellent

So packers and retailers found

Action was needed—and fast.

NO PACKAGE*
DEAL FOR
GOVERNORSHIP
Warning that a campaign of misrepresentation against Governor Earl
Warren is’ in the making Seth Millington of Gridley past president of
the Native Sons of the Golden West
and past state commander of the
American Legion today urged voters
to look behind the charges which
will be made and compare them with
the facts of the governor’s a
istration.
“Typ ical of such chafges” said
Millington, ‘“s the recent attacck
against Governor Warren on his
stand. rgearding the OPA.”
“Such charges,’ declared Miillington “‘made by the opposition’ through
political trickery will be met promptly and thoroughly, However,’ he
warned “many similar. misrepresentations will probably be made by the
opposition and voters should examine
them: closely. 3
“From the way the campaign is
‘shaping’ Millington said “it is likely these misrepresentations will continue because those who want state
teontrol returned to party bossism
who want to put a ‘package deal’ in
the staté capitol are unable to find
a single phase of Warren’s administration which they can honestly attack.”’
“The governor has said: ‘No man
should be permitted to be both govyernor and political boss. I repeat
the pomise I made four years ago—
that whenever I leave the governor’s
chair, I will return it to the people
unencumbered and without any political strings attached to it.’
“Governor Warren has lived up to
his promise”’ Millington said. The
voters will return him to offfice.
Every misrepresentation likely to be
made by the proponents of a ‘package deal’ for the state of California
will be thoroughly exposed as such.”
