the SRA and return relief to the
counties. Olson has four more days
to act on the bill but indicated his
veto might be finished late today,
or for sure by Monday.
Administration supporters doubted
there would be q pickup Of II votes
in the assembly to override the
governor. although endorsement Of
the county control bill by the Los
Angeles supervisors and several
other counties eheered OlsOu's op-
ponents.
The consensus gave only a slim
chance to reverse the governors
veto
The assembly mapped a day and
night session n an effort to re-
duce the bulky calandar Of some
500 items. The budget fight was
continued until Monday. with no
compromise IN sight.
Olson cited as false propaganda "
that the state relief administration
is permitting an unnecessary in
crease in the IeiIef load, which
should be decreasing when reem-
ployment Is on the increase: that
farmers are unable to get labor,
that an investigation should be
made TO inform the legislature why
these people on relief are not going
