Jeanette Daley Discusses
Election for Pro America

Nearly 100 men and women from
all parts of the valley gathered at
the Barbara Worth hotel Wednes-
day noon to hear jeanette E. Daley,
Democratic assemblywoman from
San Diego, discuss the forthcoming
November election for the Imperial
Valley unit of Pro America, the
group opening its meeting to the
general public so that all who
wished to hear Mrs. Daley might
dc SO.
The large attendance was a trib-
ute to the speaker who was brought
to the valley last spring by Pro
America, and who at that time,
won many firm friends for herself
by reason of her frank and capa-
BILE analysis of the political situa-
ton.
Mrs. Daley leaves no doubt in
anyone's mind as to where she
stands which is one important rea-
sen for her popularity-there is no
evasiveness nor hedging in her re-
marks. In brief, concise state
ments, using everyday language and
illustrations, she not only MADE
each of the l8 propositions on the
ballot simple and understandable,
but she gave the background for
each, and also her own personal
recommendations.
Starting with the first amend
ment, that prohibiting hot cargo
and the secondary boycott, Mrs.
Daley declared it to be the most
important, the most controversial
one on the ballot and an issue on
which she had riSked her political
career. Urging strongly yes vote
on this measure, a referendum
Daley explained that this measure
protects the farmer, the small bus
mess man, the innocent third par
ty, and does net interfere with any
legitimate rights of labor, despite
labor arguments to the contrary.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Mrs. Daley opposed the following
meaures: No. 8, the basic science
act, in that it creates just one more
board, bureau and commission, stat
ing that she believes the multiple
ity of these boards, etc, lis the
ruination of the state and nation;
No. as it takes away from the
state legislature the power to i'm,
pose a state income tax without
first obtaining an amendment tt
he constitution; No. Is, due to
mistake in wording which nullifie:
the purpose of the measure; NO
l6, which will undermine a recent
act for court review of the rulings
of board, bureaus and commissions
saying I'VE are already being gov
erned more by rules of boards thar
by law" .
Mrs. Daley favored No. 2, No. 5
No. 6, No. 7, No. s, No. 9, No. 10. No
II, No. ~, Nc. 10. No. IA, No: II ano
No. l8.
Concluding her talk, Mrs. Daley
announced that she would answer
any questions-that in her talk sht
had avoided personalities devotlne
her time to the amendments which
she believed to be of most inn
