California Political C League Speakers Advise County Tax Hike to Service Unincorporated Area LOS ANGELES (AP) — Counties should be permitted to broaden their tax base to finance the cost of providing city type services for unincorporated communities, the California League of Cities was told yesterday. Several speakers said at the League's 52nd conference that residents of these communities, which are increasing rapidly in size, do not pay their proportion of taxes for the governmental services received. Mayor Fletcher Bowron of Los Angeles said "these unofficial cities dot our state like a common rash." City Manager Don McMillan of Pasadena declared there are 69 of them in Los Angeles county alone. Mayor E. S. Dixon of Inglewood said that surveys conducted by league representatives and county officials brought forth these recommendations: The counties be given the right to levy taxes in unincorporated areas in the same manner and to the same extent as cities. The primary county levy is now on property. That counties use sales and business taxes. Some already do. The recommendations said that the county tax be a half-cent higher in unincorporated areas than its levy is in incorporated areas. De-scented Skunk Raises Big Stink LOS ANGELES (AP)—A li'l ol' skunk peacefully snoozing in an apartment house kept a whole neighborhood in an uproar for more than an hour. Somehow the little stinker got into an upper hallway for its nap. Everybody was afraid to go near. Even humane officer Joseph Conlin approached cautiously. Finally someone noticed the skunk wore a collar with a little bell, decided it wasn't wild and charged it with a broom. It didn't counter-attack and was only terrified. Conlin caught it and took it to an animal shelter. HEAR U. S. SENATOR KNOWLAND and nominee for U. S.

Los Angeles St. — Ph. 2409 Local Campaigners Head Intro Candidates Launch Extensive Speaking Schedules to Stage Whirlwind Windup SACRAMENTO (F)—The big march is on in California's political campaign. The general election is just two weeks off. Candidates for the three major posts at stake already have launched intensive speaking schedThey'll throw everything they have into the important last days before November 7th. The campaigns shape up this way: Governor Democrat James Roosevelt, faced with Governor Warren's 700,000 vote popular majority in the June primary, is on the road again with his sound truck. He blames his Republican opponent for a "disgraceful school situation." He attacks the state civil defense program; says it's a political machine to help Warren run for president. Warren, he charges, did a "flip flop" on the loyalty oath issue; his nonpartisan policy is a mask to lure the heavy Democratic vote. Warren, who has campaigned very little as such since the primary, is getting ready to tour the state by plane. He stands firmly on his two-term record—with a challenge of "serious distortions and misrepresentations" by Roosevelt. He says: California has the biggest school building program in the nation. The state defense plan follows lines laid down by President Truman. It was no flip-flop to oppose the University of Californi James Roosevelt Helen Douglas Election NEW YORK (F)—Memorandum four-year-old election drier sent police swooping dives and gang hangouts and today under orders every known hoodlum York City.

Warren, who has campaigned very little as such since the primary, is getting ready to tour the state by plane. He stands firmly on his two-term record—with a challenge of "serious distortions and misrepresentations" by Roosevelt. He says: California has the biggest school building program in the nation. The state defense plan follows lines laid down by President Truman. It was no flip-flop to oppose the University of California oath as singling out one group and then advocating a statewide pledge which treats every public employee alike. As for Roosevelt's "mugwump" charge, "Californians are not blind partisans. They are realists." U. S. Senate Democrat Rep. Helen Gahagan Douglas of Los Angeles is hopping about in her helicopter, speaking up as a New Dealer and calling her opponent a reactionary. But she hasn't been alone on the campaign platform. A procession of high-ranking Democrats has come from Washington primarily to support her candidacy. More are on the way. Mrs. Douglas continues to attack the Mundt-Nixon communist control bill and the house Un-American Activities committee; but contends she has sided with Mr. Truman in the fight against communism. Republican Rep. Richard M. Nixon of Whittier declares communism is the prime issue in the Senate race. He accuses Mrs. Douglas of opposing aid to anti-communist forces in China and Formosa. Her vote against the Selective Service act of 1948, he says, shows a lack of understanding of national defense problems. He insists Alger Hiss never would have been prosecuted unless the Un-American Activities committee, of which he is a member, "forced the department (of Justice) to do its duty." He promises California to serve "as a voice against communism." Attorney General Edward S. Shattuck of Pasadena, Republican candidate, hits at his Democratic Foe, Edmund G. (Pat) Brown, as lacking the proper experience for the state's No. 1 law enforcement post. He says he himself has the right kind of law practice background.

New Taxes Go In Next Week WASHINGTON (AP) — Another set of new taxes will go into effect next week. On Nov. 1, a 10 per cent tax becomes effective on the manufacturer's price for television sets and quick freeze storage units of house size. Also: 1. The 20 per cent excise (sales) tax will begin to apply to sales of jewelry and fur at retail by auctioneers or agents selling them for non-retailers. 2. The federal tax on slot machines and other "gaming devices" will rise from $100 to $150 a year. 3. Taxes on transportation of persons and property will apply to payments made in person outside the United States. This is aimed to prevent avoidance of the 15 per cent tax on a railroad ticket, for instance, by buying the ticket in Canada. On freight, the tax is three per cent. NEW YORK (AF)—Memory of a four-year-old election day murder sent police swooping down on lives and gang hangouts last night and today under orders to arrest every known hoodlum in New York City. Scores of gamblers, vagrants and petty criminals flowed into police stations—mostly in Manhattan—clogging cells and threatening a worse jam later in the day. The orders came from acting mayor Vincent R. Impellitteri, who said he had "alarming reports" that strong-arm methods were being planned to intimidate voters in the red-hot city campaign. “There must not be another Scottoriggio case, while I am mayor,” he told his new police commissioner, Thomas F. Murphy. Impellitteri referred to the unolved murder of Joseph Scottoriggio, a Republican campaign worker who was beaten to death in East Harlem on election day reports.” Murphy issued his own orders immediately last night to the 19,000 man police force. His officers said “thousands” might be caught in the dragnet. Murphy said the hunt would be a round-the-clock business, with the city's 70 detectives participating as well as the much larger uniformed force. Impellitteri insisted that the Nov. 7 election be “terror free.” He refused, however, to elaborate on what he called his “alarming” charges and challenged Impellitteri to meet him in a public debate on the accusations at Times Square.
