Induction Rules
Apply to Men
Under 50 Years

That all men under the age of 38
not employed in essential war work
are subject to induction by the
armed services of the United States
is emphasized by Tom Finney, di-
rector, USES, and Mrs. Charlotte
L. Morse, clerk, Selective Service
Board, Ell Centre.
Finney explained that the names
of such individuals are referred to
the employment service by the Sell
ective Service Board, working in
conjunction with the War Manpow-
er Commission, and that an attempt
is then made to place them in es-
sential war work.
CITES WORKERS VIEWS
Many war workers" he said
seem to be looking for the almost
immediate end of the war with Ger
many, and with the termination of
continental hostilities for a job they
feel will offer more security in the
future.
IF this tendency to drift away
from war jobs into civilian occupa-
tions is not retarded" the employ
ment head continued, this country
will suffer a serious curtailment of
war production. Also the supplying
of food to the armed services will be
handicapped to such an extent as to
be definite threat to the success
ful progress of the war"
Mrs. Morse said that many men
are under the impression that they
are not eligible for draft call be-
cause they are 35 years ole or over
STATUS REVIEWED
ANY man." she went on, who is
under 38 years of age may be draft
ed unless deferred for health or oc-
cupational reasons"
Asked if he anticipated a slack in
employment directly after the end
of the war, Finney answered in the
affirmative.
Yes, 1 Go. expect to see a pc
riod of unemployment, ranging from
six months to a year after the ter
mination of hostilities . =. . However" ="
he said, men who find themselves
without jobs and who have been
employed in war work should be
able to draw their unemployment
compensation up until the time the
reconstruction period gets under
way . When that happens, there
should be plenty of jobs for all for
a long time to come"

Two Proposals
On Ballot
Given Reviews
By LLOYD LAPHAM

SACRAMENTO Oct. 81. (UP)-
Two perennial issues in California
politicS-old age pensions and reg
ulation of labor unions-again will
be brought to a vote November 7
in the form of $50 at 60" and
right of employment" propositions.
Proposition No. II, backed by the
pension organization of DR.. Francis
E. Townsend, calls for minimum
payments of $50 per month to per-
sons 60 and over and to totally and
permanently disabled and blind per-
sons.
A three per cent gross income tax,
which would replace the retail sales
tax, would be levied to finance the
plan. Eighty per cent of the first
$5O0000 collected and all of the
second $500,000 under the tax would
go into a pension fund.
HOW TO QUALIFY
To qualify for the payments,
person must retire from work and
must have lived in California for
10 of the past Is years. Payments
must be spent within 80 days. The
legislature would be permitted to
lower qualifications for pensions but
not to raise them.
Arguments written by Townsend
and officers of his organization con-
tend that the forced retirement of
older persons would create openings
for younger persons and for return
ing servicemen. Enforced spending
of the pension payments, they say,
would insure vigorous expanding
market for farmer and merchant"
The California State Chamber of
Commerce, which says it is in op-
position to the measure by ''practi-
cally all Of the representative busi-
ness, industrial, farm, civic" and
other citizen groups, has estimated
that the gross income tax would
raise about $1,OOO,00,OO0 a year at
the present level of income. Present
state tax collections are around
S300,000,000 a year.
HELD INEQUITABLE
The chamber charges that the
application of the tax is inequitable,
being "pyramided" on goods which
pass through several hands before
reaching the final purchaser. Char
les Wollenberg, state director Of
social welfare, has estimated that
the measure would increase the
cost Of living in California by from
to IL per cent.
Proposition No. II is entitled a
right of employment measure and
prohibits union membership from
being made a condition of employ
ment in the state. The effect of the
proposal would be to outlaw "closed
shop" labor union contracts.
A voters pamphlet argument writ
ten by E. C. IKimball Ventura coun-
ty citrus grower and chairman of
the California committee for the
right to work, and others holds
that the closed shop is not neces-
sary to collective bargaining.
EX-SERVICEMEN
Returning Servicemen, the argu-
ment contencs. will be forced to
"pay for the right to work" in closed
shop plants if the proposition is not
adopted
Labor unions and a number of
public officials are included in op-
ponents to the measure, who argue
that it is step backward in labor
legislation and that its discussion
now tends to disrupt wartime COOP
Grafton between management and
labor
Governor Earl Warren announce
ed his opposition to the measure
at the time petitions were being cir
culated for its qualification, saying
he believed the proposition was
"inadyiSable."
