Unemployment Relief Fight Expected
To HighIight Legislative Action in
Adjourned Session; Reports Issued

SACRAMENTO, May 13. up
The state legislature rcconvencd ir
special session today to renew q
controversy over tho future of un-
employment relief and to dispose of
business unfinished at the session
which opened in January.
Tho session may run from two to
four weeks, depending on the dead
eek over relief between the gov
ernor and the Ropubican-C -Conscr-
VatiVc Democrat coalition.
Highiight Of pre-session activity
was release of two reports by the
Joint legislative committee on re-
lief, They recommended an integra-
ton of all welfare and relief func-
tons with county administration
under limited state supervision and
with joint state-county financing.
Chairman John Phillips, River
side county Republican senator, said
other reports would be released later,
all based on statewide committee
hearings.
The committee endorsed creation
Cf a new state department of en-
ployment, replacing the present en-
ploymcnt commission. relief COM
mission and the social welfare com
mission and the state agencies opnr-
ating under them.
Tho department would have divi-
SionS of employment service. uncm-
plovment insurance, direct relief
cooperatives and aid to the aged.
blind and dependent children.
The committee asked the governor
to broaden his call for the session
to permit consideration of the com
pletc reorganization program. Fail
ing of compromise, however. al
formative proposals recommended
we're:
|. Passage of the county control
of relief bill over Olson's veto.
2. Enactment of a new bill con-
tanning as many features of the
committee program as would be
possible under the present call.
g. Voting a new temporary relief
appropriation until the legislature
convenes in regular session next
January.
The temporary $l2,20O,OO0 relief
fund voted in February expires
June |.
Stricter relief eligibility require
mcnts recommended were
/. Five years residence instead
of three.
2. Further study of alien relief.
through private credit agencies.
Other highlightS Of tho report
were:

Legal Ads as Ban

NrWs paper advertising performs

tarY Of the State Bar of California,
sad Monday,
As for the pubic accounting no.
tice which is public report of
governmental bodies or individuals

Minard said: This type of notice is
the best protection which the tax
payer has against incompetent or
unscrupulous public officials.
The value of the public ac-
counting type Of legal advertising
IS usually readily apparent to any
one whose attention is directed to
it. Such notices are city commits
sion proceedings, supervisors pro-
ccedlne5, bank statements of con-
ditlon, trCaSurcr'S reports, etc.

I do not mean to say that the

III there is any fault to be found

Tho White House announced today
that President Roosevelt some time
this week will send special mes
sage to congress requesting addi-
tiOnal defense funds to supplement
the $2.OOO,OOOOOO already requested
for the army and navy.
Secretary Stephen 7. Early said
the president as yct has not decided
upon any definite figure. It pre-
viOuSly had been reported that the
new request might approximate
$5OO,OO0 900.
Early cautioned reporters mot to
90 out on limb in predicting
that the message would renew Mr.

defense tax.
The president in January asked
congress to provide $460,000,000 in
new taxes to help meet the mount
ing costs of national defense. Con-
gress has ignored that request.
