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.
LOCAL OPTION UP FOR

Business men said they had lost

Regardless of the county vot.
