GOVERNOR’S
PROGRAM SERVES ®t t=
THE PEOPLE
Governor Brown's scoffing critics might
well, we believe,
his legislative record after a year and
a half in office. Positive, progressive,
realistic programs
Sacramentoto meet the needs of a state
growing by half a millionresidents
yearly. Almost
program has been enacted into law by the
legislature.
Withal, the budget has been balanced;
an inherited 1959 deficit of $68.4 million
dollars has been eliminated, as well as
anticipated $200million deficit for 1960.
It is impossible in this space to list
allof the accomplishments of the Brown
administration. But here are some of the
major ones:
* Establishment of a consumer counsel
who has already shown herself capable
of standing up for the best interests of
the average retail
* Acurbon installment credit abuses.
*A much-needed increase in unemployment, disability, and workmen's
compensation payments, as well as aid
to the aged and blind.
* Substantially increased state aid to
our local school districts.
* Abolition of cross-filing.
* Creation of a fair employment practices commission.
* Expansion and
essful, soundly-conceived prison conservation camps.
* Passage of the historic $1.75 billion
water.bond issue.
* A 65 m.p.h. speed limit.
* Ahigher education master planto bring order out of the chaos of the growing state college system.
* A realistic smog control law.
* Authorization of school construction
and veterans farm and home bonds.
.* Legislation to
against abusive practices practiced by
some mortgage loan dealers.
* Creation of downtown shopping malls
facilitated.
* Executive action was also taken by
the governor to meet housing, narcotics,
metropolitan, mental health,
ernment reorganization needs, to name
a few.
Inthe matter of Caryl Chessman, we
happen to believe that the governor acted
throughout within the dictates of the law
and according to his conscience. You
Cannot ask more from any man.
Alltold, this program serves the people
for whom it was designed the people of the
state of California.

Heard of Charles W. Chillson?
The State of California is holding $21,385.13
for him—bequeathed to him by Charles F. Chillson, his father, who died in Los Angeles in May
of 1957.
Efforts to locate Chillson by Los Angeles authorities failed, so the job falls to the desk of
Controller Alan Cranstdén.
Chillson, a rocketry and missile expert, is reported to be somewhere in the East. But, who
knows? He hasn’t been fétind there.
Father and son lost track of each other many
years ago when the father arid mother separated
in Texas. .
The elder Chillson came closest to reuniting with his son at a lecture on space travel
at the Biltmere Hotel in Los Angeles in the
late ’40s, a lecture given by his‘son. Although .
in the audience, father missed the opportunity to talk with his son. .
If not claimed within a period 6f 10 years, the
money will pass permanently to the State of
California.
