of legislative activity as a
conflict developed over two

and identical bills were prepared for
submission in both houses. Senator
John Phillips of Riverside county
was to introduce his bill in the SEM

cite Daley of San Diego withheld
introduction until Monday to per-
NIT full study of the measure by
her committeeman.
The new relief measure would
amend the welfare and institutions
code to class all relief clients as in
digentS under county welfare con-
troll, with the state paying two
thirds of the cost and the counties
one third. The present SRA would
be abolished.
AS the legislature hurried to ad-

r. Kellems, West Los Angeles as
semblyman, introduced a concur
rent resolution asking $1,000 for an
eight-member joint committee to
investigate subversive activities in
state-supported schools, which would
include the University of California.
It was understood the Kellems
resolution was desired by certain
members opposed to the wider scope
of a similar resolution submitted
by Assemblyman Jack Tenney OF
Inglewood. Tenney sought $4,000
for a joint group to continue work
