Community Property
Bill Likely to Be LulC

The community property bill be
ing sponsored 10y the California
Federation of women g clubs and
the legislative council has passed
the state senate and will likely re-
eeive the endorsement of the assem-
by, when it will go to the governor
for his signature. Unless it is he'd
up on referendum, it is likely to be-
come a law. It was written by a
committee of the State Bar Associ-
alton and has been scrutinized by
many legal lights as we'll as by
women's organizations. 1t is
thought that all possible objections
have been eliminated in the meas
ure so that there will be no grounds
upon which its opponents can hold
it up on referendum and prevent it
from becoming operative.
