Glenn's party will visit Honolulu, Tahiti, Samoa, Fiji, New Zealand, and Australia under the auspices of the World Travel Bureau of Santa Ana. Contract Law On November Ballot J. H. Walsh, vice chairman of the Townsend party state central committee, and also chairman of the Townsend party lobby committee that worked in the February session of the state legislature for the repeal of the troublesome "property contract" and the "property lien law" that caused so much furor with the senior citizens who were state pension recipients, has just returned from the second session of the legislature where he has been spending some time in seeing that the assembly constitutional amendment No. 6 has run the legal gauntlets and will be on the ballot this fall. The necessity for this amendment, according to Walsh, is caused by the court decision in what is known as the Jesperson case, wherein it was ruled that the law of the 1939 legislature would be retroactive and could not repeal the liens of 1937 and previous years. Therefore it became necessary for the adoption of an amendment to the constitution, and assembly constitutional amendment No. 6 received an unanimous vote in the assembly as well as in the senate. It will be in the ballot at the November election, and its adoption will relieve all controversy of liens of any nature on properties of aged citizens who may be recipients of the state pension.
