Anaheim Gazette, Thursday, February 23, 1950 SACRAMENTO (WNS)—In the middle of much criticism directed at various state departments by the assembly committees reviewing budget requests here this month, one director came in for some high compliments. This was Anson A. Brock, known as "Double A" Brock, the director of the state department of agriculture. Brock has a background of grassroot experience resulting from service as a county agricultural commissioner in Ventura and Orange counties. Appointed director of agriculture by Governor Jimmy Rolph in 1933, he served under Merriam and Olson and was reappointed by Governor Warren. In reviewing his budget request legislative auditor A. Alan Post said "If Oscars were being awarded for departmental administration Brock would win it every time." In addition to this praise from a man whose role is that of a critic, various members of the legislature including both farmers and non-farmers joined in complimenting Brock for his outstanding administration. His department is one of the few in the state which actually requested an overall total reduction. Despite many additional responsibilities which have been placed on the department of agriculture by the legislature, his department has gained less than 200 employees in the past ten years as contrasted to the considerable gains made by strong possibility the special session call which the governor contemplates in conjunction with the budget session next month will not raise the lobbying issue. This would be a reversal of Warren's position. When he called a special session last December to consider the lobbying problem, he proposed an ambitious program which many said the courts would declare invalid if enacted by the legislature. In place of the Warren measure a law patterned after federal provisions was adopted. This Warren promptly called a "half a loaf" and announced he would have the legislators back here in March to complete the job. However, it now develops the Warren campaign strategists are urging him to avoid any controversial issues. Their plan is for Warren to repeat his 1946 feat of capturing the governorship in the primary election by winning both nominations. They want him to steer clear of any issues which might lose votes. This strategy has already evidenced itself by his voluntary decision to abandon the crime commissions. A pet project of the governor's since 1947, the legislature was handed a budget which proposes no further funds for the support of these commissions. It is suggested the reason for this is purely political. The requests for funds for the crime commissions have provoked serious controversies in the legislature each year. Another point which tends to confirm the adoption of this "no fights" policy is the fact little attention was given to attorney general Fred Howver by the Warren appointed crime commissions in their final report. Previously the heavy guns of these reports were aimed critically at Howser. It has been reported that Warren will not give a primary en- is formerly of Alabama, where he was active as a minister for the Churches of Christ in Alabama and Tennessee for twenty-three years. He was formerly superintendent of schools in Elba, Ala., and is now a member of the faculty of Pepperdine college, teaching economics. The services here will begin promptly at 7:30 p.m., and the public is cordially invited to attend. Among the subjects of discussion, Rev. Dixon will speak on "The Thief on the Cross," "The Value of a Soul," "The Christian's Estate," "Freedom of the Christian," and the church from various phases. Glenn Robe of Los Angeles will direct the congregation singing during the series of lectures. AUHS BAND INVITED TO SANTA' LANE Bandleader Bill Cook has been tendered an invitation to participate in the Hollywood Santa Claus Lane parade next Christmas, along with seven other high school bands. Mr. Cook hasn't stated yet whether he will accept or regret the invitation, adding the only reason he might be hesitant is that the band has several other commitments during that season and transportation is always a problem.

His department is one of the few in the state which actually requested an overall total reduction. Despite many additional responsibilities which have been placed on the department of agriculture by the legislature, his department has gained less than 200 employees in the past ten years as contrasted to the considerable gains made by some departments which have asked for that many new employees this year alone. And his administration of state owned automobiles assigned to his department is pointed to as a sterling example for all state agencies. While most agencies indulge in a caste system which allocates cars on the basis of salaries and position, that is a Cadillac for the department, and other high-priced, heavy cars for the various division chiefs, Brock has abolished all such practices. In his department, only the lowest price light cars are provided. Individual assignments are avoided wherever possible and employees draw automobiles from pools as they are needed. Brock himself has no personal car assigned to him. When he needs a car, he calls the motor pool in the same manner any other subordinate would do. Accurate cost records are maintained on every car in his department and the moment any car reflects an operational cost out of line, immediate checks are made. Post said Brock's entire department is operated in this same, business-like manner. If sources close to the Warren-for-Governor strategy committee can be relied upon there is a "...and I've lined up three good dealers" It's good business to do business over Long Distance...to express exactly what you mean through the personality of your own voice. And you'll get the most out of fast, personal Long Distance service when you remember these two tips: First—organize your call...plan what you'll say in advance...keep notes while you're talking. That's how you can say as much in three minutes as in an average letter. Second—keep a list of the out-of-town numbers you call...for if you can tell the operator the number—your call often will be completed within 30 seconds. Use Long Distance—so personal, so fast, so inexpensive The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company Governor Makes Capital Outlay Demand for '50 SACRAMENTO, (WNS)—Govemor Earl Warren has called for a capital outlay expenditure of $168,760,537 for the fiscal year 1950-51. This was the figure submitted to the assembly ways and means committee, which is considering the Governor's budget preparatory to giving it to the legislature March 6. Of the total money's requested, however, the Governor seeks expenditure of only $3,296,981 from the state's general fund. Reserves Hit A total of $68,039,721 would come out of the post-war employment reserves fund, which was tucked away during the lush tax days of World War II, and the remainder, $97,423,835 out of special funds. Lion's share of the $74,885,142 siated for new buildings would go to the department of mental hygiene, which would under the budget receive more than $23,-000,000, for the relief of overcrowded conditions in state hospitals. Next largest appropriation would be to the department of corrections, which would get $11,247,235, and then to the University of California, which would receive $9,828,873. The California State Fair is down for more than seven million, to construct a new fair grounds at Sacramento. SON TO FARRENS Mr. and Mrs. Homer M.
