Labor, Management Criticise State’s Handling of Unemployment at Confab Sacramento (WNS)—Governor Earl Warren’s conference on employment which ended yesterday by a series of criticisms from both labor and management on the state’s handling of unemployment. The conference was also marked by the introduction of policies for “full employment” by both the C.I.O. and A.F. of L. As the C.I.O. representative, John A. Despol, San Francisco, recommended at one session that the governor call a special session of the legislature immediately to raise unemployment insurance benefits to $45 per week, business representatives at another section leveled severe criticism at the state for permitting unemployment insurance benefits to reach a level which necessitates a tax increase on the employer. Town Meeting These were some of the principal features of the conference the governor described as patterned after the “New England Town Meeting.” More than 2,000 persons, a large portion of which were state employees, registered for the conference, which is featuring sixteen section meetings on various phases of unemployment. The C.I.O. program, in addition to recommending that unemployment insurance benefits be increased to $45 per week, called for a shorter work day of six hours, with time and a half for over 30 hours per week; a compulsory health insurance program; a state finance corporation to aid small business and a state commission on employment to attract new industry to California.

The C.I.O. program, in addition to recommending that unemployment insurance benefits be increased to $45 per week, called for a shorter work day of six hours, with time and a half for over 30 hours per week; a compulsory health insurance program; a state finance corporation to aid small business and a state commission on employment to attract new industry to California. The A.F. of L. program asks for improvement of the state social security program, a state prepaid medical care plan, an increase in the minimum wage to at least 75 cents an hour, a state relief program for unemployed workers, program for public works, a state full employment act, a more adequate tax structure and a fair employment practices commission. Tax Increase It was at the manufacturing section meeting, headed by Morris B. Pendleton, of Los Angeles, that criticism was made of the state's handling of unemployment insurance. The charge was made that the state had removed the employee contribution to the unemployment insurance fund, transferred it to disability insurance, thereby causing a potential increase in taxes. George Roche, of the department of employment, informed the group that the intake for the unemployment insurance fund totals approximately 2½ per cent of the total payrolls, while the pay-outs have increased to approximately four per cent. At this rate, it was indicated that employers soon will be paying a full 2.7 per cent of their payrolls, regardless of whether or not they earned a merit rating through stabilization of employment. Charges were also made at the meeting that the department of employment has paid out unemployment insurance on fraudulent claims, and further discussion of this subject was to be held at a later session. Optimists Plan Xmas Basketball Tournament A Christmas vacation basketball tournament for elementary and junior high school students will be co-sponsored by the Anaheim Optimists and the city recreation department, December 19-29. Just as the runner must develop his physical talents of wind and strength of limb, so must the spiritual athlete develop his God-intended spiritual capacities of sensitivity, selflessness, etc., by regular training in worship and prayer," said the bishop. "Course obstacles are another problem which the runner has to master," he continued. "In the same way, spiritual obstacles of sorrow, disappointment and temptation can become, not stumbling blocks, but aids to growth of character and helpfulness to others." Finally," said the Bishop, "the runner must keep his eye fixed on both guide posts along the way so that he will not go astray, and also look for a goal at the end of it. The guideposts in Christian life are the teaching of Christ, the Bible, the wise admonitions of trusted leaders and one's own daily talks with God. Far in the distance shines the goal and God-intended home of every Christian soul," he concluded. The newly-certified members include Mr. and Mrs. Lester Luverne Stanton, Mrs. William Webb, Mrs. Walter Tucker, Robert Patrick, Dr. John Vogel, Jr., Miss Sandra Sangster, Ernest Borchert, III, Mrs. George Paige, Miss Sally Olding, John Cunningham, Gary Cunningham and Mr. and Mrs. G. J. Curtis. Music for the service included the Introit solo, "My Task," sung by Mrs. Bert Beard and an offerty anthem, "God So Loved the World" presented by the choir under the direction of Mrs. Walter Ross. Accompanists were Hazel Erickson, organist, and Ernest Zitzmann, violinist. Ushers for the occasion were Harry Horn and Dr. George Koch. Following the service a reception was held in the parish house. Introduced to the new members were Mr. and Mrs. Ted Kuchel and Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Goodrich, senior and junior wardens of the parish and their wives. Also present were other members of the congregation. The Woman's Auxiliary headed by Mrs. Eva Boyd, president, were in charge of the reception arrangements and refreshments. Pouring at the tea tables were Mrs. John Kimball Saville, wife of the church's pastor, and Mrs. Homer Ames. The Ohio river is 975 miles in length.

Commenting upon the need for expanding adoption services, Lt. Governor Goodwin J. Knight, on a recent visit to the society, stated that, "We need more adoption services... either through the creation of more agencies, or the expansion of those now in the field. The purpose: to eliminate haphazard or spur-of-the-moment adoptions—to give every new-born babe its birthright—the right start in life and future happiness, health and security." The society's campaign is pointed toward this objective. Citizens of every community are urged to cooperate, and send contributions to the Society at its southern California headquarters, 3100 West Adams Blvd., Los Angeles, or its northern California office, 6515 Outlook Avenue, Oakland.

In addition to increasing compensation by 8.7 per cent "across the board," Public Law 339 extends to veterans with service-connected disabilities rated at 50 per cent the extra compensation for dependents formerly granted to those with ratings of 60 per cent or higher.
