Her vote wos one of the votes that permit the contin union of 50 to 85 cents an hour wages In this state. These working people are the forgotten people who have no labor union to aid them in acquiring a fair living wage.

Calif. - IUPI1 -Stanley William Fitzgerald, 39-year-old singing killer, was captured with four U-en-age companions last night less than a week afler they es caped from a Nevada City, Calif., jail. The five were taken into custody at a roadblock seven miles cast of Marysville with out resistance, Richard D. Au erback, special agent in charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, announced.

Woman Frees Self Mrs. Claridge freed herself quickly and notified authori ties who put out roadblocks for the Claridge automobile which the five escapees stole along with two .22 caliber rifles when they robbed the Claridge home.

Mark Hat field announced Friday he will Include $17 million in his 1061-63 budget recom mendations so that local prop erty tax relief will be pos sible by increased slate sup port of elementary and sec ondary education. The funds for this purpose are available within existing resources without requiring an Increase in present tax rates, Hatfield said. At present, slate school aid totals $107,632,140. A total of $5,77,B0 will Be required under existing law because of increases in the number of school children. The governor said the addi tional $11 million would rep resent an Increase in the rate of state support.
