The chicken, fried to a turn and

Mrs. Brents began to worry.

LIQUOR SALES REVISIONS

The senate also was considering
two proposals for revision in laws
regulating liquor sales. Senator H.
E. Dillinger, Cd, Placerville, pro-
posed a constitutional amendment
to permit sale of alcoholic beverages
in establishments where food is not
sold. Minors would be prohibited
from entering public bars" under
Dillinger's proposal.
Senator Jesse NJ Mayo, CRo, An
gels Camp proposed that the con-
stitution be amended to give the
legislature power to determine the
agency of the state government
which regulates liquor sales. The
power now is delegated to the board
of equalization.
To meet expected postwar uneG-
ployment relief needs, a bill intro
duced in the assembly recommended
that S40O0O,000 be set aside from
the state treasury surplus In urging
that this action be taken, the gov
ernor reported that it could be
spared without jeopardizing his plan
to maintain state taxes at lowered
levels.
The bill was introduced by Re-
publican Assemblymen Thomas A.
Maloney and Albert Wollenberg,
San Francisco, and Gardiner john
son, Berkeley.

Nationally significant is the
manner in which the fourth
deal has taken over the state
Of Washington.
What happened in that state
can happen in your state.
Not only was every Republi-
can Of the former administra-
ton dismissed Immediately but
every Democrat not a member
of the inner New Deal clique
got the purge.
Even Rep. John Coffee, the
states most prominent Demo-
cratic congressman, had his face
taken from him, as the Chinese
say.
He understood that as -Sena-
tor Wallgren took the gover-
norship he, Coffee, would be
appointed senator.
Instead, after flying across
the United States to be present
at Wallgren's inaugural. Cof-
fee heard Wallgren appoint his
secretary, Mitchell, to the sena-
torial honors.
Report is that the White
House itself gave Wallgren in
structions to let Coffee down.
Coffee had boasted in the
campaign that he was not a
, rubber stamp.
Some say he runs with the
Communist left wing, some the
exact opposite.

He wants to give them and
their nutty ideas sanctuary, first
because he belongs to that
crowd, and secondly, because he
is a candidate for the presi-
dency in 194S and theirs is the
only backing he can get.
In politics such things hap
pen. Better men and worse than
Henry Wallace have tried TO
get even and have tried to ad-
vance themselves.
But when the President of
the United States, in war,
stoops to such shennanigans
with respect to the economy Of
the nation, he stoops too low
and should be reprimanded even
by those who, for one reason or
another, normally support him.
