Add Unusual Jobs: Electric Light Bulb Replacer at State Capitol BY WAYNE HARBERT SACRAMENTO (P): The man who replaces the burned out light globes illuminating California's capitol dome is glad he isn't a washer of the building's high windows. Or the painter of the pole which files the flags of the U.S. and of California high over the portico. "Look at the pole sway," said electrician Charles Hunt as he finished replacing 54 burned out bulbs in the rows of 615 lights you can see from far around Sacramento. I looked. They can have all three jobs. But here's how Hunt goes about his own job at the top of the dome which rises 247 feet above Sacramento streets: He ties a rope around one end of a 10-foot ladder and fastens its other end at the dome's top. He drops the ladder out and down out of sight where the dome falls away almost vertically. Then Hunt ties another rope to his waist and gets a pledge from assistant Howard Roberts that he will hold the other end tightly. Now Hunt is ready to follow the ladder rope down to the ladder. And to work up, rung by rung, putting the burned out globes in one pocket and taking new ones from another. He has to go over the side 12 times. The lights are on 24 up and down ribs and he takes them two at a time. Some of the dome wiring was installed a long time ago and Hunt there are several bullet holes in the dome, too. The windows of the dome above the dome interior you see when standing in the rotunda used to be left open. Pigeons would fly in and couldn't get out. State police use them as targets. There has been talk, says Hunt, of replacing the little lights with Neon tubing. But there has been pressure to keep the lights old-fashioned. New 'Starts' Rolling Into Gazette Office Anaheim Gazette newspaper carriers yesterday wound up their second week of subscription solicitation in the Anaheim area with more than 400 new subscriptions for the Gazette. The lads are divided into two teams. The team which is leading at the time 1000 new "starts" are obtained will be the guests of the other team on a week-end camping trip. At the rate they are going the boys expect to do their camping in the middle of May. Ten leading salesmen and the number of new subscriptions they have obtained in two weeks are: Jerrold (Mousey) David ... 51 Ernest Leonard ... 51 Ronald Swank ... 40 Rodney Thueson ... 37 Vic Salazar ... 26 Rudy Moraga ... 25 David Stovall ... 20 Walter Wittesch ... 17 Lt. Gov. Knight To Address Texans At State Picnic Lt. Gov. Goodwin J. Knight will address the annual Texas picnic celebrating San Jacinto Day (Texas Independence Day) on Sunday April 27, at Sycamore Grove Park 4207 N. Figueroa, Los Angeles. Superior Judge Georgia P. Bullock, Larry Moore (Little Cochise) and Clayton Moore (Sky Eagle) Shoshone Indians, Grant Thomas Creek Indian, and Maybelle Thomas as Miami Indian, will be honored guests. Grant and Maybelle Thomas are missionaries to the Navajo Indian Reservation in Arizona and come from Broken Arrow, Texas. The Texas State Society composed of nearly 450,000 for Now Hunt is ready to follow the ladder rope down to the ladder. And to work up, rung by rung, putting the burned out globes in one pocket and taking new ones from another. He has to go over the side 12 times. The lights are on 24 up and down ribs and he takes them two at a time. Some of the dome wiring was installed a long time ago and Hunt says it needs replacing badly. Sometimes he finds a whole string of lights out—because a live wire has touched the copper spool and blown a fuse. Not before, sometimes, a hole has burned through the copper. Faulkner to Help Preserve 'Ideal' County By Edward Paulker Orange county is one of the fastest growing areas in the fastest growing state, and this fact is responsible for many problems of our county government. One thing should be kept in mind. In welcoming the thousands of new residents, we should never forget that the "old timers" built this county so well that now other people want to live here. LEONEL VAN DEERLIN (Hat in Ring) Van Deerlin Goes Into Campaign For Congress "I will name on the floor of Congress the first person who offers me a bribe in Washington." With this promise Lionel Van Deerlin, 37-year-old newspaperman-rancher, has opened an intensive campaign for Congress in the 28th District. Of the corruption issue he said: "The way to achieve honest government is to send honest men" Congress. I believe my newspaper training will prove helpful in turning up the facts about persons who betray the public trust.

The president Jerrell Babb, is a former resident of Sweetwater, Texas. General Ted Davis, vice president, is a full-blooded Apache Indian, who was born near Wichita Falls, Texas and is the grandson of the famous Indian Chief Gerharanimo. General Davis will be master of ceremonies at the affair and Geneva Wood Bradley, a member of prominent pioneer Texas families and a former "Miss Lubbock," will be in charge of hospitality. Western program featuring Te Carman will be staged. All former residents of Texas their friends and members of the Federated States Societies are invited to bring their lunches between the hours of 10 a.m. and p.m. for a real old fashioned Texan picnic spread. On the day following the picnic Babb will head a group of Texas when they "hit the trail" for Holulu to stage a month-long "roundup" in Hawaii. Unemployment Decrease Noted Capitol News Service SACRAMENTO—Further decrease in seasonal unemployment was marked today by the report of the State Department of Employment on weekly benefit claims. The department said claims were six per cent under the figure for the previous week, for the week ending April 3. In the Santa Ana office, .20 claims were filed, and 1676 paid according to the department's record. On a statewide basis, 153,1 claims were filed during the week and 123,073 paid, compared to 166,943. Orange county is one of the fastest growing areas in the fastest growing state, and this fact is responsible for many problems of our county government. One thing should be kept in mind. In welcoming the thousands of new residents, we should never forget that the "old timers" built this county so well that now other people want to live here. What they have built must be preserved and carried forward. That is one of the reasons why I seek the office of Supervisor from the Third District. I would like to be in position, as a member of the Board, to help solve the new problem growth has brought. I have been trained for it and keep the youth and drive as well as the business maturity, to do the job that is now being neglected. I am a substantial property owner and taxpayer, with a real interest in efficient and economical government. Our growth problems can cause serious harm and bring unwelcome change unless rightly handled. For example, industry is sweeping in and around us. We must keep it balanced, and meet a housing problem in such a manner that Orange county will remain the Orange county we know. I wish to assure old timers that I have no intention of changing Orange county. On the contrary, I want to prevent harmful change. If we can keep the fine things we already have here, I will consider that progress and success. Many thanks for your phone calls and letters. Yolanda Avey.

If this bookkeeping profit repelled the company's actual "take" our 88,340 non share owners would be overjoyed.

We obviously can't keep dipping into our working capital indefinitely and stay in business. For if we do we'll eventually run out of money to carry our receivables, inventories, etc., and pay our daily operating expenses. That's why something has to be done about a situation that affects not only us but every U.S. corporation. 5.

This money came free sources. 3. $40,281,000 of it came from the "depreciation and depletion" allowance. (The sums a corporation sets aside each year to replace equipment and oil properties when they're worn out.) $14,606,000 of it was made up out of profits. $7,534,000 of it was taken from working capital—the "checking account" a business keeps on hand for day-to-day expenditures. fly it is this: The sums the tax collector you to set aside for depreciation and deare based on what things cost when you and them—not what it costs to replace them since these depreciation funds aren't adereplace equipment and oil properties at prices, we have to make up the differnewhere—or go out of business. 6. On top of this, extremely heavy taxes on corporate earnings make it almost impossible to retain enough profits to make up the difference. So we have to take it from working capital. That's why we must have a tax policy that will permit corporations to earn enough for the replacement and expansion necessary to maintain the productivity and economic growth of the nation.
