HOUSE UNEMPLOYMENT CONFERENCE RECOMMENDS NEW PENSION SYSTEM Old age pensions or annuities for all persons who have passed 60 years were recommended to the Unemployment Conference of the house by its committee on social security and old age pensions in a unanimous report last week. The report will have to be considered by the entire conference as part of a final master report which will be made after all committees have completed their recommendations. The social security and old age pensions committee, which has been working for nearly two months on its report consists of Frank B. Keefe (R., Wis.), chairman, Homer D. Angell (R. Ore.), Franck R., Havenner (D., Calif.), Gerald W. Landis (R., Ind.), Martin Smith (D., Wash.), John H. Tolan (D., Calif.), Jerry Voorhies (D., Calif.) and R. T. Buckler (Farmer-Labor, Minn.). The report contains a careful analysis showing the major importance of an old age pension system for our whole economy, and then makes five comprehensive recommendations for a "national old age annuity system." It emphasizes the vital relation between adequate consumer purchasing power and national recovery, showing that purchasing power must keep pace with production or under-consumption and unemployment result. Pointing out that production tends to increase faster than employment, that because of scientific methods of production, part of the people are able to produce enough for all the people and that if all the people do not consume their reas- duction, then obviously, this group should be those people who have worked the longest and contributed most in the past to our national wealth and to the building up of our very efficient productive machine." The committee showed that in 1939 the level of production was equal to the record breaking year of 1929 but that nevertheless more than a million less persons were employed in 1939 than in 1929. The specific recommendations of the committee were as follows: 1. The annuity system should be on a pay-as-you-go basis. The present social security system is criticised for "its serious deflationary influence," since during the fiscal year 1940-41 the old age and unemployment insurance funds together will collect $1,200,000,000 more in payroll taxes than will be paid out in benefits. 2. Pensions should be paid to all American citizens over 60 years of age who are retired from industry. "If it is desired to deny the pension to persons who clearly do not need it, it could be required that persons who are liable to the payment of a federal income tax must return, at the time the tax is paid, any money received as pension payments during the previous year. This would leave the pension system as simple as possible, requiring no investigator staff or individual records." 3. There should be no difference in the amounts paid to persons in the various states. The states may, of course, supplement the federal payments if they desire. New Relief Law To Be Introduced Return of Administration to Counties Will Be Part of Measure A new relief bill returning administration of relief to the counties, designed to save the taxpayers $1,500,000 or more a month, will be presented to the state legislature May 13 when that body reconvenes, Senator John Phillips and Assemblywoman Jeanette Daley, co-chairmen of the interim joint legislative fact-finding committee, indicated this week. The bill will supersede the bill introduced in February at the special session, which was vetoed by Gov. Olson. It will be based on findings of the legislative committees that have investigated the State Relief administration throughout California during the last two months. Restrictions placed on the SRA in February, which resulted in a case load decrease from 116,000 to 85,000 without depriving anyone entitled to relief but which caused "chislers" to be dropped from the relief rolls, will be retained, the legislators indicated. The $38,-000,000 relief appropriation for the remaining 13 months of the biennium will be the figure in the new bill, the same amount in the bill vetoed by Gov. Olson, it was reported. "The legislative committees have uncovered an unbelievable amount of inefficiency and waste in the SRA and the sensational reduction in case load is the direct LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE OF REAL ESTATE UNDER DEED OF TRUST NOTICE IS HEREY GIVEN that on Friday May 17th, 1940, at the hour of ten o'clock a.m. at the steps of the South entrance to the Court House in the City of Santa Ana, County of Orange, State of California, the undersigned, as Trustees, under that certain Deed of Trust, executed by BEN ADDIS CALLAWAY and EDYTH B. CALLAWAY, husband and wife, to WM. STARK and WM. FALKENSTEIN, as Trustees for Anaheim Building and Loan Association, a corporation, as Beneficiary, under which Deed of Trust, CLAYTON L. ALLEN and ELDON W. STARK, have been heretofore duly substituted as Trustees in place and stead of said WM. STARK and WM. FALKENSTEIN, which said Deed of Trust was dated May 31, 1928, recorded June 14th, 1928, in Volume 175 of Official Records, page 9, records of Orange County, California, to which reference is hereby made for further particulars, and said Deed of Trust was assigned by Anaheim Building and Loan Association on NOVEMBER 9th, 1936, to GOLDA ZAUSS, said assignment recorded January 18th, 1940, in Book 1022, page 559 of Official Records of Orange County, California, and assigned by GOLDA ZAUSS on November 27th, 1939, to ROSE RUDOLPH, recorded January 18th, 1940, in Book 1029 page 6 of Official Records of Orange County, California, and pursuant to that certain Notice of Breach of said obligation and election to sell said real property, recorded in the office of the Council that production tends to increase faster than employment, that because of scientific methods of production, part of the people are able to produce enough for all the people and that if all the people do not consume their reasonable share of production, unemployment is inevitable, the committee concluded that: "If it is necessary for some group in society to be enabled to consume its share of national production without contributing to that pro- 3. There should be no difference in the amounts paid to persons in the various states. The states may, of course, supplement the federal payments if they desire. 4. The revenue should come from a broad general tax such as the gross income tax, as well as from taxes calculated to reduce the volume of idle funds, such as individual income, inheritance, estate and gift taxes. 5. The size of the pension should be determined by prorating the revenue derived from the special taxes levied for this purpose among all eligible to receive the annuity. The committees concludes that: "Such a system as we have outlined would avoid the complicated system of bookkeeping now required on the part of individual employers and on the part of the Social Security board. It would make possible elimination of the cumbersome payroll taxes on employees and employers and of the attempt to maintain individual records on upwards of 40 million workers. It would make possible the inclusion of all occupational groups of citizens and it would bring to an end the serious deflationary influence of the current attempt to accumulate reserve funds." The House Conference on Unemployment is a group of 70 members of the house of representatives who organized two months ago for a thorough study of the unemployment problem. The general officers of the conference are Jerry Voorhis (D., Calif.), chairman; Karl Mundt, (R., S. D.), vice-chairman and John Murdock (D., Ariz.), secretary. The conference is organized into 12 subcommittees, each of which is working on a special phase of the unemployment problem. General meetings are held weekly. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH This verse from Proverbs, "The way of the Lord is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity," constitutes the Golden Text in the Lesson-Sermon on "Everlasting relief rolls, will be retained, the legislators indicated. The $38,-000,000 relief appropriation for the remaining 13 months of the biennium will be the figure in the new bill, the same amount in the bill vetoed by Gov. Olson, it was reported. "The legislative committees have uncovered an unbelievable amount of inefficiency and waste in the SRA and the sensational reduction in case load is the direct result," Senator Phillips said. "The constructive result will be that with only those entitled to relief getting the money, an average of $3,500,000 a month will carry the California relief load instead of the $5,000,000 demanded by Gov. Olson and SRA officials. We found that in every case overhead cost of administering relief was far less by countier than by SRA." The joint fact-finding committee will hold final sessions at Sacramento the week of May 6 correlating all reports for presentation to the legislature May 13. The Yorty "Little Dies" committee will meet at Visalia May 1, where its members have been subpoenaed as defense witnesses by B Joseph Zukas, Tulare county SCMWA president, facing trial or contempt charges for refusal to answer committee questions. Student journalists from nine Orange county high schools have entered their weekly publication in Santa Ana junior college's seventh annual newspaper contest winners of which will be announced at a banquet sponsored by Orange high school's Reflective staff May 14. The dinner will be held in Orange high school cafeteria. Judging this year's contest will be the following county news paper people Jimmie Heffro sports editor, Anaheim Bulletin Virginia Fritcher, society editor Santa Ana Register; and Dahl I Shearer, editor and publisher Garden Grove News. Entered in the journalistic competition are Huntington High Light, Newport Harbor High Beacon, Laguna Brush and Patte orange Reflector Fullerton Pleiades, Anaheim Anoranco Trust Broadcaster Brea Wilde CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH This verse from Proverbs, "The way of the Lord is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity," constitutes the Golden Text in the Lesson-Sermon on "Everlasting Punishment" on Sunday in all Churches of Christ, Scientist. The Lesson-Sermon presents also these words about Jesus from Mathew: "And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain; and when he was set, his disciples came unto him And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, ... Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill: ... But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: ... Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and so thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift." Among the selections from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, are these statements: "The destruction of sin in the divine method of pardon Dove Life destroys death, Truth does error, and Love destroys hate. Being destroyed, sin needs no other form of forgiveness. Does not God's pardon, destroying any one sin, prophesy and involve the final destruction of all sin?" We can do more good by being good, than in any other way.—Rowland Hill. Relief Law Be Introduced Of Administration to Cities Will Be Part of Measure A relief bill returning adoption of relief to the counsigned to save the tax of 1,500,000 or more will be presented to the mature May 13 when that convenes, Senator John and Assemblywoman Daley, co-chairmen of joint legislative fact-committee, indicated this. It will supersede the bill in February at the session, which was vetoed Olson. It will be based on signs of the legislative combat have investigated the Relief administration but California during the months. Actions placed on the SRA secretary, which resulted in a decrease from 116,000 to without depriving anyone to relief but which caused it to be dropped from the bills, will be retained, the is indicated.

Sportopix by RUSS McCOMB Santa Ana and Fullerton jaysees split Orange Empire conference track and field honors this spring, the former winning the dual meet championship and the latter grabbing the all-conference title Tuesday at San Bernardino. The Hornets had plenty of competition from the Dons in the big meet Tuesday, with the final scores being 66¾ to 61½. San Bernardino in third place trailed with 39 points, with Chaffley, Pomona, Riverside and Citrus picking up the leavings. Three new conference records were set and one tied, with Fullerton athletes accounting for two of the new marks and the tie. Al Heredia, freshman miler, toured the four laps in 4:29.1 for a new record and Lou Batinski tossed the shot out 48 feet 1 inch for the other standard. Smith leaped 6 feet 1⅓ inches to tie the high jump record. Flores of San Bernardino set a new two-mile record when he rambled the distance in 9:52.6. Santa Ana's Morales, an Anaheim boy, captured the Dons' only first place when he tossed the javelin out 185 feet. Joseph shared first place in the pole vault with Zoeter and Austin of Fullerton at a height of 12 feet. The remainder of the Santa Ana points were gained with numerous seconds and third. In addition to her record makers, Fullerton had first place winners in Davies in the 220, Ed Hertel in the high hurdles, Walton in the 880 and Batinski in the discus. Burl Gist, former Colonist ran second to his team-mate in Individuals Urge Civil Service Law Merit System for County’s Employees Sought by Advisory Group The citizens advisory committee sponsoring the adoption of the merit system for county employees this week addressed communications to both the Orange county grand jury and the board of supervisors calling attention to the advantages they claim for the system. The supervisors have already begun a study of the draft of a proposed ordinance that would establish the system for county employees, if approved by the vote of the people. The board has not yet determined whether to submit the ordinance to an election. The long list of prominent business men, professional men and civic leaders who have espoused the merit system, by joining the citizens advisory committee, in support of the movement, Tuesday spoke publicity in favor of action. The letter to the supervisors was signed by Fred A. Wilbur, Santa Ana attorney who is secretary of the committee; Walter Swanberger, H. C. Head and William C. Jerome. It said: "A suitable merit system ordinance will, we believe, be beneficial to Orange county generally. "Employing public officials in most cases approve of a centralized employment system, just as they do of a centralized purchasing system.

Court Review of Bureau Sought A campaign was launched this week in California by the St. Bar association to provide meods for judicial review of state's bureaus and boards. The movement's objective is adoption of a constitution amendment which will appear in the general election ballot next November. The measure is designed to give the state legislature wide authority to provide for judicial scrutiny of the acts, decisions and ord legislative committees discovered an unbelievable relief appropriation for the budget 13 months of the biennial figure in the new same amount in the bill Gov.

Olson and SRA office found that in every case cost of administering was far less by counties SRA." Manager Joe Huarte is working hard to develop a winning team of local ballplayers for the summer campaign of the Anaheim Athletics, and has split even in two games to date. Joe is using youngsters from Anaheim and the surrounding territory, and has some promising boys in the lineup. The pitching to date has been rather uncertain and the defensive play of the infield has left something to be desired, but, if hard work on the part of Huarte and the players can do it, the Anaheim Athletics will give a good account of themselves against any competition this summer. Northern Orange county is likely to have something to crow about at the end of mile race in the University of Southern California-Stanford track meet Saturday at the Los Angeles Coliseum. It isn't beyond the realm of possibility that Paul Moore, the Brea youngster now running for Stanford, will take the measure of the great Louie Zamparini in the four-lap grind. Moore, former Fullerton jaysee ace, has already run close to 4:12, and recently established a new world's record for the three quarters of a mile. Zamparini hasn't been in the best of shape this spring and may not have what it takes to beat the Stanford flyer. Add LeRoy Weed, the Trojan sophomore sensation, and Marston Girard of Stanford to the race and it is entirely possible that the winner will have to beat 4 minutes and 10 seconds.

"With promotional opportunities offered to employees, and with reasonable assurance of careers of public employment during good conduct and continued efficiency, there should be an increase of intreest, of careful study, and of intelligent understanding of county work and problems. "There is a strong probability that an effective merit system in Orange county will prevent any effort to bring into this county state or federal interference with county employment methods. "Removal of temptation to introduce politics into public employment is, of course, of utmost importance. A suitable ordinance will do much to achieve this. "The general public cannot fail to benefit by a systemized method of public employment which offers equal opportunities to qualified persons when selection is made through open competitive examinations. "A similar letter is being addressed to the rand jury urging a study of the merit system for Orange county." Treasure Hunt Held By Boy Scout Troop A treasure hunt in the city park, in which all three patrols participated, featured the meeting of Boy Scout Troop 71 Monday night.

Motorist Hurt as Car Strikes Train Lynn J. Harden, 25, of Route 1, box 199, Santa Ana, was injured about 3 o'clock Saturday morning. He apparently drove his car into the side of a Santa Fe freight train "extra" as it passed, northbound, across La Veta street. Harden was thrown from his auto and knocked unconscious. About 45 minutes later another freight train, on regular schedule, approached the La Veta crossing and Engineer C. J. Hennessy saw the auto on the tracks. He stopped and, with George Rhodes, investigated, found Harden and campaign was launched this in California by the State Association to provide method for judicial review of the bureaus and boards.

B. Wellington and Stanley Baus, both of Santa Ana, are members of the State Bar legislative committee directing the design. His Burke, general counsel of League of California Municies, discussed this measure at Thursday's meeting of the large county league here, detailing that adoption of the measure would be a detriment to the function of municipalities. His Burke spoke favorably of the measure in so far as it applies to bureaus and boards, but noted that it opens the way for making of purely local matters of the hands of administra- tion of municipalities.
