Attorney General Urges Collection Agency Shift SACRAMENTO UPI - The State Division of Collection Agen cies takes orders Irom the indus try it is supposed to regulate. At torney General Stanley M oik charged today. Mosk said, in a report to Gov. Edmund G. Brown, that the di vision had glossed over law vio lations by bill collectors and in timidation. The attorney general urged the governor to sign a bill transfer ring control over the division from the secretory of state's of fice to the Department of Pro fessional and Vocational Standards as a step toward correcting the abuses. Brown ordered the attorney gen McCloud Tax Goes On Ballot McCLOUD The Board of Trus tees for the McCloud Union Ele mentary School district is appeal ing to the voters of McCloud, Chilo quin. Kinyon, Bartle and Pondosa lo turn out a record vote Tues day for the purpose of increasing' the local revenues (or school dis trict operation. Polls will be open from 1 p.m. until 'f p.m. at the McCloud Elementary School and at the Pondosa Community Hall The Issue to be decided is one of raising the local tax from cents to $1.39 in order that suffi cient money be available for the operation of the district. Because of variations in state apportion ments which are based uppn at tendance and assessed wealth, the state allocations have diminished but the local income has not in ri eased sufficiently lo offset the dif ference. The district cut back over $16,000 last year and finds it neces sary to cut back another $1 2.000 this year unless the local income it. not increased. These lowered revenues mean that several services will have to be curtailed: speech correction, nursing, services to handicapped children and an additional loss of a regular teacher.

V2 eral to Investigate the division af ter a state Senate committee charged that bill collectors were committing open violations of the law with the apparent tacit ap proval of the division. The attorney general's report, compiled by Assistant Attorney General Clarence Linn, claimed that the administration of the di vision "has been pointed lo the protection of the 'collection agen cy' industry." Linn lound that the present law regulating collection agencies "does little to protect" the gen eral public, but rather spent most of its time helping collection agen cies out of various legal scrapes, The report claimed that the di-j vision arranged settlements which permitted collection agencies to escape prosecution for embezzle ment. In at least one case, the at-i torney general said, the head of an otfending agency was em p.oved to work out the settlement.

Governor Brown Ruled California Legislature By JAMES C. ANDERSON SACRAMENTO UPH - The dominant figure in the 1959 ses sion of the Legislature was Dem ocratic Gov. Edmund G. Brown. The 53 year old chief executive, in office only six months, figured strongly in almost every major achievement recorded by the Leg islature. He suffered some stinging de feats, loo, particularly in the fi nal hours of the session when a strange coalition of Democrats dedicated to organized labor and a solid bloc of Republicans in the Assembly killed his bill to set up la The- Day's to (Continued from Page 1) man hasn't got what it takes. Even our Declaration of Independence, which is perhaps the greatest docu ment in world history, hedges on that point. It says merely that all men are CREATED equal. Anyway, Huey Long, flying on the wings of his magic slogan, was soaring ' to unbelievable heights when his career was cut short as is the case so often with despotic demagogues by an as sassin's bullet. Where he might have gone if he had lived no one yet is prepared to say. This much is certain He wouldn't have gone very far in the direction envisioned by our Founding Fathers. This much let us hope That here in our mythical State of Jefferson which, we proudly proclaim, is a State of Mind we never reach the point where we tolerate supermen" of the Huey Long type. Hufy Long had glamor loads of it. But history teaches this clear lesson: TOO MLH GLAMOR is a dangerous thing. Shark Kills r ci J lailSe MUffy SAN DIEGO, Calif. il'Pl'-City and county olficials, noting a de crease of swimmers at beaches. today sought means to proteo' swimmers from sharks which are expected to continue to appear near beaches. Mayor Charles Dail said he had instructed the city manager's of lice to start a study as soon as possible so that any remedial ac tion could be taken lo protect summer tourists from man eating sharks which have been lured to coastal waters by warmer water temperatures. Robert Dent, chairman of the county board of supervisors, said he felt the investigation should have a hih priority. A fellow su pervisor, David Bird, said that the urgent matter would cut into the current lime consuming supervi sors' problem budget considera tion. Rut 1 think this matter is very worthy ol consideration," Bird said. "At this time we do not know if shark nets are the swer. However, we must protect the public." Dail said cost of nets had not been determined. He said he would press for action to deter mine the most feasible protection tor the general public and tourists on San Diego area beaches. The shark fear was set off eight days ago when a 20 foot killer shark seized a husky, experienced skin diver. Robert L. Pamperin .13. about 120 feet off a crowded beach. His body had not been lound. Since the Incident there have been several sharks sighted near Southern California beaches. An other skin diver. Albert C.

OREGON a "code of ethics" for labor unions. Brown came into the office last January with a reputation of be ing a genial, smiling, hand shak ing Irish politician. Privately, some of his supporters in the Leg islature expressed doubts whether "Pat" had enough executive lead ership to sell the lawmakers his program for "responsible liberal ism." But at the end of the six month session, there wasn't a man in the capitol who doubted Brown's ability or leadership. In fact, he put so much heat on the lawmak ers that Joe Shell. Republican leader in the Assembly, com plained the governor was using "Huey Long tactics." Surrounded by a team of able and practical politicians and blessed with a 47 to 33 Demo cratic edge in the Assembly and a 28 to 12 break for his party in the Senate. Brown piled up an impressive list of achievements. Perhaps his greatest victory was in healing the wounds of five bitter years of north-south strife and winning Assembly and Senate approval of his water program. If voters in the 10 election approve, the state will launch a $1,750,000,000 water construction program. On another front, the governor scored an unquestionable victory for what he calls "fiscal respon sibility" by getting 85 per cent of his t256.noo.000 tax program through both houses. He stepped into the governor's office facing a stale budget defi cit estimated at about $200,000,000 by mid-summer of 19fi0. He had to light every inch of the way. but Brown finally got through a $215,000,000 tax program which will put the budget in "shaky balance" next year. Brown called it a "balanced" tax program because it hit both big business and the consumer. One of his infrequent defeats. however, came in the tax battle. Oil interests succeeded in con vincing an Assembly committee and it dumped tha governor's bill lo levy a $28,600,000 severance tax on the extraction of oil and na tural gas. As lor his program for "respon sible liberalism," the governor got the four bills he wanted- most, al though he lost almost all of his labor report proposals. From a national standpoint, and Brown seems well on his way to becoming a man to be reck oned with when Democrats choose a presidenfial candidate in 1060. legislative approval of a fair em ployment practices act was a big victory. ' He also succeeded in abolishing cross filing, which Democrats have been after for years. Added to the list of Brown vic tories were bills dealing with air pollution, narcotics, highway sa fety, installment racketeering and narcotics. Flames Burn Ghost Town PONDOSA, Ore.
