twice prohibited by the California

its ham n eggs" pension plan on
the ballot, the payroll guarantee

fornia secretary of state from plac-
ing the proposition on the ballot on

A BOMBER BASE IN ENG

lounge, like most Of the other
buildings at this, base, is a Ms

end and a fireplace at the other
serve to take off the chill. Here
the officers congregate after

chat or doze in the chairs ar
ranged in semi-circle about the
hearth.

thin and athletic. But nobody
loves a fat man-even a fat pi-
