Brown said this week a new study of the business recovery shows that estimates used last January in drafting revenue proposals to balance the State’s 1959-60 budget were remarkably accurate. Anticipated Economic Upturn “People who don’t understand the way in which we worked out the tax program keep looking at improved business figures and saying we should cut back the tax proposals,” the Governor said. “What they don’t seem to realize is that we anticipated a rapid rate of economic upturn and based the tax program on that assumption,” he said. “I would be delighted to be able to say that we now need less taxes than anticipated,” Governor Brown added. “不fortunately, that is not the case,” he said. “If we are to have the balanced budget that this State needs after so many years of deficit financing, we need every dollar sought.” Personal Income Lag Director of Finance Bert W. Levit reported to the Governor that the new study shows that the gross national product will be about $476 million, just 1.7 per cent above the level used, in budget estimates. “However,” Levit said, “personal income has not advanced as rapidly as gross production.” He said that unless there is considerably greater rate of rise in personal income it will not reach the level assumed for budget purposes. Personal income, he pointed out, is more important than gross national product in determining tax revenues. Levitt said actual general fund revenues in California from July 1, 1958, through March 31, 1959, were only 0.7 per cent over estimates. $78 Million Tax Saving Later, in a speech before the California Taxpayers Association, Governor Brown pointed out that his administration has saved some $78 million over original budget estimates made before he took office. He said that $73 million was paired from amounts requested by State agencies and $5 million already made this year in departmental economies will be carried over into the next fiscal year. He said opponents of his budget and proposed revenue program have failed to make any specific suggestions on where the budget may be cut further without injury to vital State services. “I submit it has been cut as far as it is possible to cut it,” he said. “The opponents of my revenue program, with typical fiscal irresponsibility, are playing poll (Please turn to Page 4).” Chapman Symphony Sets Final Concern The final concert for this will be given by the Chapman Symphony Orchestra at 4 Sunday in the Chapman Auditorium. Admission is free. Dr. Ralph Smith, states that rehearsals for season will begin in Sept and any persons interested playing with the Chapman phony should contact him then. ANAHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA 11 Mayor Urges Vehicle Kuchel Explains Labor Bill Stand United States Senator Thomas H. Kuchel, Senate minority whip, was the principal speaker for more than 100 newspaper editors at the Southern California United Press International editors. The main interest of the Southern California newsmen seemed to be Senator Kuchel's amendment to the Kennedy-Ervin labor "bill of rights." Some fellow Republicans had contended Kuchel had sided with Democrat Senators when he voted for the legislation, which conservatives said was hamstrung by amendments. Senator Kuchel reviewed the action for the newsmen explaining that senatorial debate brought forth 55 votes on amendments. Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona introduced about 150 Kuchel told the group, "I kept every one of McClellan's safeguards, in rewriting the bill but I made two changes: 1. Revised it to give the employee himself, instead of the Secretary of Labor, the right to sue in case of grievance. 2. Revised it to give each candidate for union office equal rights to union membership lists." Kuchel's amendment received a favorable roll call vote of 47-45. He added that he received voting support for his work from such men as Senate Minority Leader Dirksen; Republican Senate Conference Chairman Saltonstall; GOP National Chairman Morton and McClellan himself. Kuchel told the group in an earlier interview that a Los An New Gazette Publisher Receives Commendations from Legislature May 22, 1959 ASSEMBLY JOURNAL RESOLUTIONS The following resolution was offered: By Mr. Richard J.

Center Street Anaheim, California Dear Mr. Abraham: May we add our congratulations to the many others you no doubt have already received on your recent association with the Anaheim Gazette. It is an old and honored name in this city with a great deal of tradition attached to it. Your background in the publishing field, which has been recognized by your election to the position of President of the California Newspaper Publishers Association, will add much to the already fine standing your organization enjoys. We have always found your paper to be most friendly, cooperative, and generous to California Bank. We in turn would like to reciprocate by offering to be helpful to you, your newspaper, and your staff in any way possible. Anaheim is most fortunate to have you as a part of our business community. We look forward to becoming much better acquainted with you. Cordially yours, B. W. Jordan Assistant Vice President and Manager ZETTE 11 THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1959 — NO. 48 Vehicle Safety Check "Join the 'Circle of Safety', Check your car. Check your driving; and check accidents," Mayor of Anaheim (A. J. Schutte, urged all the city's motorists today in support of the Anaheim Vehicle Safety Check taking place through Friday of this week. "This voluntary safety-check gives every motorist a chance to do his part in making our community a safer place to live," he said. "Even our best drivers are poor risks if they are driving cars that have bad brakes, worn tires, or other neglected—to the point of being unsafe—items." Check Your Conduct, Too "Equally important in our safety-check, is the challenge to each driver to check his conduct behind the wheel. Both safe cars and safe drivers are needed to check accidents," he declared. Check lanes are set up and operated by qualified volunteers and mechanics at six locations to give motorists a chance to take advantage of the free and voluntary 10-point safety-check. The lanes will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell, left, chats with Anaheim Gazette Publisher Bert J. Abram at press conference at Chapman College last Thursday night. U.S. Secretary of Labor Mitchell Endorses Nixon for President Secretary of Labor James R. Mitchell, in no uncertain words, endorsed Vice President Nixon as Republican candidate for the president of the United States in 1960, in a talk made before 800 interested voters at Chapman-College last Thursday evening. In a press conference and reception preceding his address Secretary Mitchell criticized James R. Hoffa, Teamster President for what he termed "arrogance and the most brazen act I have ever heard. His challenge to the United States Congress, I hope, will have the effect of spurring congress to pass stronger legislation than might otherwise have been considered." The Secretary of Labor said he interpreted the duties of his office to be carefully to evaluate labor disputes. "In our economy of free enterprise the government should not move in on a dispute to dictate to either party how it shall settle a bargaining question." "This would bring about a socialistic economy," the Secretary said and added, "This we do not want." "The President of the United States has not called out troops to settle strikes." "The President has not dictated to management what to pay employees. "Wage and price controls are not what this country wants." "We believe the administration policy which will encourage full employment to increase our productivity, to hire senior citizens and to consider minority groups, will bring about better labor conditions." New School Site Relocation Is Board Meet Topic A proposal for relocation of a new school site was presented at the regular meeting of the board of trustees of the Magnolia School District conducted by Guy S. Balser, president. R. L. Richmond, representing the group of homeowners protesting the location of a school in their immediate area, displayed a map pointing out a possible relocation of the proposed school.

Marshall of 2640 Lincoln Hwy.; Anaheim, graduated April 30 from the Atomic, Biological and Chemical Warfare School at the El Toro Marine Air Corps Station, Santa Ana. Students of the school receive a basic knowledge of atomic, biological and chemical warfare. Equally important in our safety-check, is the challenge to each driver to check his conduct behind the wheel. Both safe cars and safe drivers are needed to check accidents," he declared. Check lanes are set up and operated by qualified volunteers and mechanics at six locations to give motorists a chance to take advantage of the free and voluntary 10-point safety-check. The lanes will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sticker Reassures Owner "A safety-checked windshield sticker reassures owners that their vehicles were checked and found in safe operating condition." Mayor Schutte remarked. "The owners of vehicles discovered unsafe will be able to have the dangerous conditions corrected before they become the cause of a traffic accident. Many of our Anaheim motorists do not realize they are driving cars that are hazardous — to themselves, their families, or other members of our city. A safety-check is the best way to find out." "We can make our city much safer for motorists and ourselves by achieving a 100 per cent standard of safe vehicles through just such devices that we are offered and by checking our conduct while driving," he added.
