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.

Letter To The Editor the State of California where it does not, We, as Californians, should stop thinking of both political expediency and the cost of the necessary equipment to bring this everpresent menace to an end. The necessary equipment, in the form of standard activated sludge plants, is available, Long range planning, with the growth of population, is. indicated, Our state legislators should have the courage and Sary legislation is passed to bring this continuing men-: ace to a halt. Each of us should write to our representaitves and insist that this particular matter of the continued pollution of California’s waters be given top priority at the next session of the Legislature and that real teeth are put into the bill to forever stop this continued abuse.

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.
