COMMUNISM AND PENSION ISSUES GRIP CALIFORNIA Topmost Democratic Candi dates Tarred With Red Brush Is Claim 'Ham and Eggs' Outrivals 'Epic' BAN PHANCISCO. Nov. 4. (AP) Another alleged communistic threat In democratic gulae and a proposal to pay "aenlor citizens" $30 every Thursday In atte scrip held the at tention of California's 3.600.000 vot ers today In appraising next Tues day's election Issues. The cry "communism," directed by republtcsns and even by some demo crats against the topmast democratic candidates echoed across the contin ent much as It did in the memor able California campaign of 1034. Outrivaling 1034's "epic" Issue, the 30-every-Thursday plan was a di rect "ham and eggs" Issue for about 1,000.000 California oldstera clamoring for more pension money. Pension Issu targe The pension Issue crsshed unin vited Into the August primary with such force that It, too, rippled across the country, giving rise to talk In msny atstes of liberalising pen sion systems. The S30 a week plan would aet up a system Independent of executive and legislative power and give 90 II warrants each week to non-working Callfornlsna over SO. Every Thurs- dsy esch . warrant would have to be validated with a two-cent state stamp, bought with regular money. At the end of a year It would bear 1.04 worth of atamps and would be redeemable by the state for $1 cash. During the year It would circulate as money among all who would accept It. The state. Its subdivisions and publicly owned utllltlea would be re quired to take the warrants at face value. State, county and municipal employees would have to accept up to one-half their salaries In these warrants. In Large Figures Opponents figured the state would have to Issue about 1, 000 ,000 ,000 worth of warrants a year, and If they changed handa once a week about t80.000.000.000 worth would have to be spent to keep them all going. That figure exceeds the national In come by SIS.OOO.OOO.OOO to 20,000, 000.000. The opposition said the real result would be refusal of business firms to sccept the wsrrsnts. collapse of war rant values, financial ruin for the state and "cruel disillusionment" of the pensioners. Proponents Insisted only a small fraction of the maximum number of warrants ever would be Issued Just enough to take care of the wants of the pensioners. They said tba de mand of such pensioners should con stitute a market for goods warrant ing the Issuance of enough scrip to bslance the two factors. Vet Stirs Red Issue The communism Issue come ten days ago when Harper Knowles. radi calism Investigator for the American Legion, told the house dies com mittee In Washington Culberf L. Ol son, democratic nominee for govern or, had subscribed to communistic strategy, and democratic senatorial candidate Sheridan Downey had been a teammate of "communist" Upton Sinclair In the 1034 campaign. Knowles asserted John O. Clark, state democratic campaign chairman, and Ellis E. Patterson, democratic nominee for dleutenant governor, were communists. Those named denied the charges caustically, other democratlo sym pathlxers commented with a measure of ridicule. California American Le gion leaders disavowed responsibility for Knowles' testimony. Like 1034 On Its face, the situation looked something like a parallel to 1034, but the democratic party setup was much different this time. Pour years ago former socialist Sinclair captured tne democratic nomination for governor on an "end poverty" plan of atate aponsorshtp of j "production for use" by the unem-' ployed. Downey ran for lieutenant governor, with Sinclair, The democrats then 'hod only modest majority In registration. The administration turned a cold should er 'to Sinclair. Republicans and con servative democrats shouted Sinclair's program would plunge California Into ruin. Sinclair lost, to conservative re publican Oov. Prank P. Merrlam, who now Is running sgalnst Olson. F.D. For Downey Despite President Roosevelt's dis approval of the 30 pension plsn, which Downey supported In the pri mary, the chief executive termed Downey "a real liberal In mind and heart" and asserted It would be cslsmlty" for California to elect to the senate a "dyed-ln-the-wool re actionary." Downey's republican opponent Is Philip Bancroft, Harvard-educated, big-scale farmer and pre-prlmary critic of New Deal policies. Olson snd Downey are avowed New Dealers and the democrats have an advantage of almost 2 to 1 over the republlcns In registration. Beside the pension Issue the voters will pass upon a measure which would restrict picketing and regu late the conduct of unions In strikes. Labor has opposed this ss a threat to union existence.
