feated bill to drop the minimum
age for state assistance to go years.
Persons between 60 and 65 would
have received $50 month payments
under the bill by Assemblyman
John B. Pellitier, D.. Los Angeles.
Pellitier argued that so to 65-
year-olds would need assistance as
they are displaced from war jobs,
but Assemblyman Thomas Doyle,
CD, Los Angeles contended that
persons in the As to go year age
group would need help even more.
WOULD HAVE COST 80 MILLION
The state social welfare depart
ment estimated the measure would
have cost $30,000,000 in the next
two years.
The senate was expected to go
to work on the state budget Tues
day and passage was expected with
little change from the $705,O0O,OOO
total recommended by the upper

Sidered eventually by a conference
committee.

Make Yours a "Vietory Kitchen

Check every opportunity to avoid waste and
conserve foodstufs in your home. Here are
some useful tips on refrigerator use and care
that are worth needing:
Be sure that food is placed on shelves so
that air has room to circulate around it,
Always let hot foods and dishes cool to
room temperature before placing them in
refrigerator.
Putting food that does not require cold to
keep into your refrigerator is unnecessary and
wasteful. Pickles, jelly, vegetable shortcomings,
unopened cans, etc. do not require refrger-
alton.
Don't chill larger bowls than are necessary.
Always store foods in refrigerator in as small
containers as possible.

Fund Approved

WASHINGTON - (SNS) - The
House Appropriations Committee
Monday approved a $125,00O fund
for liquidation of the Fair Employ
ment Practice Committee.
The COMMITTEES surprise action. If
approved by Congress, would mean
that operations of the F1EPC, long
the center of a congressional con-
troversy, would be limited to liqui-
dation after July /.
Committee members said t h e
amount would allow FEPC to wind
up its affairs in three months, since
it represents one-fourth of the
$4,000 the President has requested
to permit the agency to operate for
a full year.
Legislation to make the agency
permanent has been stalemated in
Congress and no funds for it's con-
tinuance after June 80 had been
provided
The Appropriations Committee
stipulated that if the pending legis-
lation is approved and FEPC be-
comes statutory agency, the $780,
600 it approved Monday shall be
used for normal F'EPC activities to
be supplemented by new appro-
priation.
