employees contributed more than
$50,000 to the political party or
candidates of their choice in the
first week of the Company's Good ©
Citizenship Campaign, which
opened July 20.
This is better than half of the
$97,000 total achieved in 1962,
andthe fund raising drive still has
several weeks to go, closing on
August 21.
The campaign is based upon a
thorough solicitation system
whereby each of the Company's
nearly 30,000 employees is individually asked by a fellow employee to back his political favorite with a contribution. These
contributions range from a few
dollars to several hundred dollars,
with workers urged to give at least
two hours pay to support their
political preferences.
Board Chairman Dan A. Kimball, who inaugurated the project
in 1958, and President William
E. Zisch agree that this year's
campaign should top all previous
drives in percentage of employee
participation and total funds
raised, Kimball is a Democrat
and Zischa Republican, and past
results have indicated a fairly

Bond Bids
Accepted.
Bids of 3.1906 and 3, 19433
percent were accepted July 30 by
State Treasurer Bert A. Betts on
two $50 million blocks of California state bonds for School
Building Aid and State Construction programs. A syndicate
headed by the Bank of America
and Associates offered the winning bids in competition with
another group headed by Bankers
Trust Company of New York.
The $100 million joint sale had
been rescheduled by Betts when
the lowest bids sub mitted had
“split coupon" features that the
Treasurer rejected. Betts said at
the time that the effective interest cost of the apparent low bids
was not satisfactory, and in resetting the sale he stipulated that
no split coupon bids could be submitted.
The School Building Aid Bonds
and the State Construction Bonds
are both,from bond act authoriza~.
tions voted by the people of California in 1962. The maturity
range for both issues is 1966 to
1990.
The higher bids submitted by
the Bankers Trust Company un~derwriting group were 3. 22006
percent on the School Aid Bonds
and 3. 22367 on the Construction
