Gov. Warren's hopes for retain

$100,000,000 taxes voted in 1943
were in keeping of the senate to
day. . . . .
- The tax measure, carrying the
65 to 13 OK of the assembly,
faces additional controversy in
me upper nouse, out the govern

strengthened by his victory yes

This was based upon the con
tention thai since he was able to
muster enough votes to strip
suDsiaies irom me mil ana tnen
pass - it by better than a two
thirds vote, he has sufficient sup
port to force senate action on
the bill before the house acts' on

Frank Burns, whose husband
was injured in Sacramento on
Friday, April 13, was not in the
California capital city at that

OP) Senator 'iom Connolly, a

as America's spokesman in snap

world security l-uuuv.ii.
Tne veteran democrat, who is ,

as the American representative I
of tne group which will pass on i
powers ot tne ii-memoer coun

No American delegate may
serve as chairman of any of the
work-commissions of the United
Nations conference because Sec
retary of State Stettlnius is chair
man of the whole works.
But from even a secondary
seat, what the American delegate
proposes is likely to carry more
weight than many suggestions
from other nations.
Thus Connally, who is more
accustomed to Texas cowhand
linao than the stilted language
of diplomacy, will have a potent
voice m determining wneiner.

Briefly, tins formula would re-

a nation that was going around
with a chip on its shoulder.

"The Klamath route- Is short
