chance to defend themselves.
Five machine gunners were in

A second car that drove through

ROLPH VETOES
SALARY CUTS
Sets Forth Reasons For Not
Placing Signature On Measure
Passed By Legislature.


SACRAMENTO, June II. U.PJ-
The emergency state employees
salary reduction bill today was
headed back to its point of origin,
the legislature, bearing the COVER
nor's veto.
The measure would have imposed
salary cuts totaling approximately
IS 100000 for the next two years,
set up the state board of person.
mel which would have exclusive
power to regulate and adjust state
| salaries.
/ Accompanying the measure was
a 900 word veto message which set
forth reasons for disapproval as
! follows:
/. Responding to the appeal of
! the President, many private en-
ployers are increasing salaries.
| 2. Facing almost certain deval-
uation of the dollar, public servants
of this state would suffer an al
most tragic loss of purchasing pow
err" This would impel an exodus of
public employees to private employ
ment and the state can i'll afford
the loss
3. Arbitrary powers reposed in
state personnel board would result
i in domination of the executive de-
partment. The board could deprive
the chief executive of the authori-
ty and influence which are indis-
pensable to responsibilities imposed
upon him." Only one member OF
the board of three is responsible to
the governor, the director of fin
ance.
4. Bill purports to set up "em-
Urgency" salary reductions. No pro-
vision is made, however, to aban-
don the cuts inside the next two
years if the emergency ceases to eX-
list.
5. The measure is discriminatory
because it exempts from reductions
employees of legislative and judi
cial departments and also state en-
ployees on a per hour and per diem
basis.
8. The state personnel board is
so constituted it would "endanger
efficient administration of civil SER
vice"
Il have vetoed this bill notWith-
standing the budget fails to provide
adequate appropriations for pay
ment of salaries on the existing ba'
Sis the governor said. Depart

salaries so a lay-off of any consid
cradle number of employees will b'
unnecessary.
1.-The legislature will give conSid'
Grafton to this problem when it re-
convenes in July. If the Legislature
determines there should be cut in
salaries, the cut, in my opinion
should not be so extreme as reduc-
lions, contemplated by this bill The
cut sholSi apply to salaries OF leg
islative and judicial department en-
ployees as we'll as executive depart
ment, and any salary reduction bill
should be confined strictly to sal
airy reductions"
