ANAHEIM GAZETTE 7 Anaheim Gazette, Thursday, October 20, 1949 Waters Says Era Of Golden War Time Prosperity in California is Over By EARL G. WATERS Western News Service Sacramento (WNS)—The era of golden war time prosperity in California is over. Like the popping of a kid's toy balloon, legislators gathered here last week saw the bubble of good times burst in their faces when legislative auditor Rolland A. Vandegrift bluntly forecast the state will face a $75 million deficit when the legislature meets here next March to consider the annual budget. Going are the surpluses resulting from war time activities; now the lawmakers and the administration are face to face with the cold facts that the state is and has been spending more than its income. Christmas Tree Measure Through the boom years the legislature was an easy touch for proposals which required expansions of governmental services and additions in subsidies to local governments. In one session the legislature opened the state's pocketbook to the tune of $100 million which it flung to the 58 counties of the state in the so-called Christmas tree measure. In fairness to Governor Earl Warren who is now the target for reprisals for lavish state spending this Christmas tree bill was passed by the legislature over his veto. Vandegrift declares, as he has Home-Built TV Camera Attracts Crowds at Show Of the hundreds of exhibits at the National Television-Radio Exposition, few are attracting more interest than the "ham" built television camera of Murray Bolen, Hollywood advertising executive. However, Bolen has plenty of competition from Hollywood's seven television stations, the telephone company and numerous other exhibitors in the event, which continues through Sunday (Oct. 23) at Shrine Convention Hall, 700 W. 32 Street, Los Angeles. Bolen, who started 28 years ago by building from his own blue- of governmental services and additions in subsidies to local governments. In one session the legislature opened the state's pocketbook to the tune of $100 million which it flung to the 58 counties of the state in the so-called Christmas tree measure. In fairness to Governor Earl Warren who is now the target for reprisals for lavish state spending this Christmas tree bill was passed by the legislature over his veto. Vandegrift declares, as he has cautioned deaf ears constantly for the past several years, that the state must either awaken to its problem and curtail expenditures or new taxes upon an already tax burdened state is the inevitable result. The alternative decision, the Vandegrift report shows, rests in the hands of the voters at the special election next month. For without the added expense which has resulted from the adoption last year of the George H. McLain pension program the state could, Vandegrift states, adequately meet its obligations without additional taxes. In November the voters will have the opportunity to reconsider the McLain program in the form of Proposition No. 2 which would repeal the provisions of the constitution adopted last year whereby control of the state's welfare department was taken from the legislature and placed in the hands of McLain's former secretary, Mrs. Myrtle Williams. Increased 102 Per Cent Since Mrs. Williams has taken over this department the Vandegrift report shows the cost to the state, for aged aid, has increased 102 per cent. And while the counties have been relieved of the cost of administrating aged aid this cost transferred to the state has increased as much as 138 per cent in some counties. As Senator William P. Rich, senate finance chairman, has stated, this money still comes from the taxpayer no matter which pocket it is taken from. Increased applications for old age assistance under the liberalized pension program was increased 71 per cent in August over the same month one year ago. Actual increase in grants during July of this year was 32 per cent over the number of recipients for the July one year previous. In the face of this situation reports throughout the state appear to indicate the majority of voters are satisfied with the present aged aid program and will vote over-vision camera of Murray Bolen, Hollywood advertising executive. However, Bolen has plenty of competition from Hollywood's seven television stations, the telephone company and numerous other exhibitors in the event, which continues through Sunday (Oct. 23) at Shrine Convention Hall, 700 W. 32 Street, Los Angeles. Bolen, who started 28 years ago by building from his own blueprints radio sending equipment for a station at Carleton, Minnesota, turned from radio to TV when the new media began to show prominence. Murray dreamed 15 to 20 TV receivers for friends before he became interested in what happened at the other end of the set. The final result is on exhibition at the Exposition. The Exposition has on its floor the greatest showing of television sets and models ever before offered under one roof. The public also is being given an insight into modern television production methods through the "show-casing" of shows in the afternoons and the presentation at night of regular TV programs through remote facilities at Shrine Convention Hall. Square Dancing Moves Indoors The recreation department sponsored square dancing group will conduct its Monday evening promenade in the Teen-Age center starting October 24. Cool evenings and lack of smudge pots forced the dancers to make last Monday's the last outdoor dance of the year. A minimum donation of 25 cents per person to cover the cost of caller and orchestra will be made. The Monday evening group will be limited to adults with square dancing for ten-agers to be held on Thursday evening beginning October 27. No charge will be made at teen-ager night. This Thursday evening (October 20), the "Sunkist Swingsters" will have a square dance at the Teen-Canteen starting at 7:30 p.m. The public is invited. An old custom in England was the ringing of the "gleaning bell," which fixed the hours for beginning and leaving off gleaning. Increased applications for old age assistance under the liberalized pension program was increased 71 per cent in August over the same month one year ago. Actual increase in grants during July of this year was 32 per cent over the number of recipients for the July one year previous. In the face of this situation reports throughout the state appear to indicate the majority of voters are satisfied with the present aged aid program and will vote overwhelmingly against the ballot proposal to revise the plan even though Proposition No. 2 would retain the present $75 per month payments. Already rumors are circulating indicating that pension promoter George H. McLain, confident the voters will defeat the ballot proposal which would relieve him of the power and influence he now has over the State Department of Welfare, is eyeing Governor Warren's job with a view to getting it himself, at the general election next year. Elbow-Bending Leads Straight To Accidents Chicago—Elbow bending often leads straight to traffic accidents, according to the 1949 edition of the National Safety Council's statistical yearbook, "Accident Facts." One out of every six drivers involved in fatal motor vehicle accidents during 1948 had been drinking, accident reports showed. One out of every four adult pedestrians killed in last year's motor vehicle accidents had been drinking, too. The yearbook also shows that one out of every eight drivers violating traffic laws was driving while under the influence of alcohol. Trade in Anaheim and saval Budget Solons Ask For Cut Expenses Gento, Oct. 20.—(WNS)— of the legislative budget meeting in Sacramento en legislative auditor. RolVandegrift the go ahead recommend decreases as possible on state expendigrift, after informing the state faces a $75,- deficit in its general fund, asked for a policy guidrecommendations for the budget, which will be conby the legislature in 1950. The legislature is faced three alternatives—(1) To national taxes to meet the old deficit, (2) To raise national taxes and cut out vice, or (3) To eliminate to the extent of making lux taxes unnecessary. Cut Taxes the committee adopted no policy, it indicated to Vannat it desires recommenooking toward the third grift told the committee that the adoption of on No. 4 at the November would make a difference imately $88,000,000 in the next budget. He said a portion of this would be saved in administrative costs, and the remainder would be a decrease in state expenditures if administration of the old age pensions system is returned to the counties. The legislative auditor also told the committee that if the state continues its capital outlay program at the same rate as in the past year, "it will need $150,000, -000 more than it has at the present time." There is at the present time, he said, $57,00,000 left in the capital outlay reserves, which is available for construction projects after appropriation by the legislature. In addition, there is $75,000,000 in the so-called "rainy day" fund which may be drawn upon under present law when revenues are under expenditures authorized by the budget. Hold Down Increases In budget hearings held so far, Vandegrrift told the committee that the state department of finance is making an effort to hold down increases. Increases requested, he, said, vary from one percent to 28 percent, with an average increase requested of seven per cent. Vandegrrift told the committee there are "plenty of places where cuts can be made," but also pointed out that many of his recom­mendations for cutting out boards and commissions, notable the state recreation commission, made at the 1949 session of the legislature, were not followed. Urge Increased Consumption Of Apples The United States Department of Agriculture is conducting an abundant food program on apples, in cooperation with apple producers and trade groups, which will reach a peak during the period between October 27 and November 5. The apple crop this year is the largest the country has seen since well before the war, and the concerted effort is to move apples through normal trade channels so that governmental price support buying can be held to a minimum. Major stress on apples is scheduled for the October 27-November 5 period, which includes the trade-sponsored National Apple Week, but the unusually large crop—132,126,000 bushels, according to the October 11 crop report—will require emphasis on use for some time after that period, the USDA believes. Nineteen different apple varieties are important enough in volume to warrant their own listing in the USDA's crop reporting-board production tables. Some of these are important primarily in certain sections of the country—the west, for example, mostly produces the Delicious (both the Reand the Golden), the Winesap, the Yellow Newton, the Jonathathe Gravenstein, and the baking queen called Rome Beauty. In other parts of the nation there are major production volumes of such varieties as the MoIntosh, Stayman, Albemarle Pipipin (the same as the western Yellow Newton), York Imperia, Baldwin, Northern Spy, Black Twig, Wealthy, Ben Davis, and others.
