Special Session .
0flegisIature

SAN FRANCISCO, July 27. CUPl
The California CIO Council urges
that a special session of the legis-
lature be called to consider enact
ment of three-p0int program pro-
viding for retention OF the states
new industries. full employment and
extension OF social security.
In a six-page letter to Gov Earl
Warren, the CIO advocated eStab-
lishment Of three agencies to assist
in fulfilling the detectives. They
were:
IA western office Of the Office
of War Mobilization and Recover
sion TO meet specialized California
conditions.
"A state reconstruction and
finance corporation. capitalized at
$500, 600 900, to help private indus
try recOnvert war plants.
3-A state postwar committee to
include public officials. and repre-
sentatives of industry, agriculture
and labor.
The CIO said need for action was
urgent. 1t predicted that 100000
workers might be unemployed by
1916. The council pointed out fur
ther that the war has doomed the
annual value of manufactured goods
in the state from $3O00,000 600 b
to $11 900, 100000 b. The figure will
be decreased, the CIO estimated,
through cutbackS especially in ship
and plane building which threaten
to become shadow industries"
The CIO suggested western opera
ton of steel plants at FOntana,
Calf, and Geneva, Utah, as a cor
nerstOne of western steel and light
metals industry
A close working relationship with
the federal government was urged
so that public funds might be spent

power operation, HeWes explained,
sufficient net revenue has been real
I'D to refund $l,100,000 in revenue
bonds. and at the same time pile
up an emergency fund of $250,000
This reflected the stability of the
entire program, HeWes said, and was
an example of how all previous eSti-
mates have been borne out by actual
practice
He stated that the expected show
ings of S2,000,000 gross volume in
1914, and net earning of $500,00O
in the same year, had been sur
passed with a showing of about
$4,000 net earning i'll that year
l945 promises to show net earning
of the power division of close to
S700, 900, he said
The 1914 showing was accom-
pliShed by the sale of 108 million
kilowatt hours. 1945 is expected to
show sales aggregating l2O million
XVIII, he declared.
Such a high level of delivery
originally was to be maintained
through additional power plants on
the All-American canal and chiefly
by a major plant at Pilot Knob.
Now that the federal government
has refused the district the right to
erect such a plant at Pilot Knob.
HeWes explained, it is necessary to
spend approximately $3,000,OOO for a
steam plant and hydro plants at
Drops and 4 on the All-American
canal.
Balance of the funds will be nee
eSSary to extend and expand trans
mission and switching facilities to
carry the heavier power loads, Hewes
said.
PROBLEMS OUTLINED
The overall problem. as pictured
by HeWeS, was as follows:
A load of $4,000 XIV is necessary
at peak times. This peak cannot be
accomplished with present facilities
and with operative safety and econ
omy. Neither can the evident in
creased demands of the future in
the entire area served by the dis
trict be met without extended gem
erative plant equipment.
Had the government not taken
from the district the potential Of
Pilot Knob, the problem could have
been solved in the manner antic-
ipated in original plans, but the
federal action places the district in
a position of finding other Ways tn
meet the demands of expansion.
Hewes was presented by Stevens
H. Harris, club president Among
guests was Sergeant Major Kelley,
veteran of Bataan, and Frank Nous
seau, GMlc, medically discharged
from the service after nearly five
years in the navy.

In prewar years the shortage was
not felt as much, they said, because
the demand for milk was smaller.
Milk orders from the marine and

orders have not increased they
have been large, according to one
creamery manager.
Up to the present time the crea-

Loose Guessing

The United States is on such loving relations with the European countries that have been freed that our politicians are telling us how to get all of our money back through foreign trade. But they fail to explain how France and all these other countries are going to be able to buy billions of dollars worth of ma chinery from the United States.
 Our Government is determined to f. nance a world bank and take care of all the wants and cure the sufferings of our brave partners overseas Besides putting up the money Congress is inclined to accept every feature of the trade-treaty schemes fathered by Cordell Hull. A cas- ual study of the Hull plan shows that it is mostly transfer of authority, which simply means that Congress will turn over the entire job to the State Depart ment. When you figure it all out, the tariff question is the loosest guessing game on the International horizon So we'll have to wait a few more years to find out more about the trouble in for eign trade.

 Although this is but brief resume of MT Baruch's report (and only lack of space makes it sol it discloses the healthy spirit of his approach to our problem. In concluding his report, he states:
 Tn making my recommendations, l have sought only to stimulate action so that we will exercise the leadership which is ours. I would not want to see that leadership which we have held for 150 years now lost to others or wasted through disuse.
 "A vastly better world lies ahead if we use the intelligence and gifts of nature that have been bestowed upon us. We can't live alone. Be sure of that. Let us then encourage and help those who live with us to live our way-not to copy our way in detail-but to stand with us on the broad base of expanding human dig nifty and freedom"

WILD RASPBERRIEs
(NeW York Times)

(NeW YOrk 11meS)
 There's something about wild raspberries that puts them in spe- cial category. One finds them in the corners of stony?soiled upland fields, along brush hidden stone walls that circle meadows and divide pasture land from woods. Uually there are patches of the brambly canes in sun-warmed, sandy ravines; occa- Sionally one finds a tangled mass at the edge of the sugar grove or along the south side of the woodlot.
 But to know raspberries at their best one should go into the woods to spot where the timber was cut off few years previously. Here among sprouting young naples. pop lars and birches, among the rotting stumps and clutter of decaying branches left from the numbering or wood- -chopping operations, one finds large patches of canes. The raspberry likes shade, schelter and moisture. The wild berry is first cousin to the cultivated variety, but where the latter is bold, tall and al- most blatant in its luShnesS, the former is smaller more slender and modest. The countcyman knows also that the wild variety has flavor that's different.
 The wild fruit is of generous size; it's full of deliciously tart juice. Clus- ters of deep red nuggets hang thick ly from the short fruiting branches. With two-quart lard pail hanging from his belt or from one of the tandem hitches of his suspenders, a man can ue both hands to pick the fruit as he forces his way into the prickly jungle of canes.

Madame Secretary Says Goodbye

Madame Perkins official farewell in Washington, D. C., was unofficially so- cial. It took the form of farewell party and reception. The reception, however, indicated going away instead of con- ing in. A four-piece orchestra played soft music.
 Madame Perkins was a definite per- sonality in the official Washington circle, and held unique position since she was the first woman ever to hold a Cabinet office, said office Secretary of Labor. The price of that office eliminated on this occasion when she shook hands with 1900 employees of the Labor Department.
 This hand-shaking job is no easy thing, but it is said that Miss Perkins learned the trick early in her Cabinet career, coached by usher "Ike" Hoover. Also tossed aside as she retires to private life is the famous "three cornered hat,' which was the customary headgear worn by the Secretary, and adopted by her at the start of her regime under the late Pres ident Roosevelt
 Miss Perkins intellectual equipment for the office she held was adequate She was a specialist on labor questions and had made a great study of social prob lems. At the start of her career in Wash ington it was said she would make a splendid teacher. Her record as Secre- tary of Labor has been the subject of va- rious expressions of opinion This week she is receiving many honors for her years of service. And strange as it may seem she is wearing round hat instead of the official hat adopted by Madame Secretary.

New York City is having quite little session about trees Trees are common occurrence even in most big cities, but central New York City has been so tree less that few wonder if the city should have trees-that is outside of the parks When trees were first planted along the avenue at Rockefeller Center and in front of St. Patricks Cathedral they were considered quite out of the ordinary.

A Thought for Today
Edward R. Stettinius, Jr.

' The appointment, by President Tru- man, of Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., to be the United States member of the Security Council and chairman of the American delegation in the General Assembly of the United Nations is a distinguished honor for man who has proven his de- votion to this country's and the worlds welfare.
 MT. StettiniuS, as Secretary of State at the San Francisco conference, won the respect and admiration of his interna- tional confreres, the same men with whom he will associate in his new posi- tion. Having played an integral part in the formation of new world entity his qualifications for representing our in- terests in the complex administration of this entity are of the highest.
 The appointment gives rise to the req sonable speculation that former Chief Justice James F. Byrnes will likely suc ceed MT. Stettinius as Secretary of State. The speculation has weight principally because of the strong support given the possibility from numerous sources. MT. Byrnes as former War Manpower direc- tor aptly proved his grasp of the realities of the nations needs as integrated with swift moving world events.
 Placing men of this caliber in such vital positions is direct source of en- couragement to the people of America. It will guarantee to dispel the fears of many that our government was and is surrounded by radicals, and yet will bring to the functions of their offices the pro- gressive, we'll balanced liberalism destined to mark the course of the new world.
