A healthy shipping industry is .vital to California's pros­perity. Shipping furnished jobs for 20,0~0 Californians last year with a pay roil of more than 100 million dollars! Eve~y

Congressman Yorty served two' terms in the State Legislature be­fore the war, and was returned to the Legislature as representative of the same district in 1949, after having served- three years . in · the Air Force ,and later resuming his law practice. ·• During his . militar~ service he spent two years over+ seas in New Guinea · and the Phil~ ippine Islands. 1 ,

· In 1940, Congressman Yorty was. an anti-isolationist candidate -, for United States Senator. , At . that time he emphatically pointed out the need for a prepared America. During his campaign he made eight statewide broadcasts urging the people to realize that we were on the verge of war, and calling for all-out preparation. His cam­_paign slogan was "Isolation Has Failed- Stop Hitler Now!" It i~ now conceded that faster prepara­tion would have shortened the wa'i:· and saved many lives. ·

By PAT CLANCY and PAUL EDGECOiY!BE

Approximately two million yards of excavation work have started here in the last two weeks, in preparation for develop­ment of sub-divisions. This is contrary to the normal opera- I t ions this late in the season since usually at this time con- I t ractors are getting their jobs in shape for the winter. With this situation _ it affords late season employment for ''many i of our members. These projects include Rollingswood, Rancho Buri- at Sharp Park for the sewage plant Buri a nd Standard Builders' Twin outlet.

With these many dirt moving ·Peaks development. · Keeble is doing the grading at

Rollingswood. He has moved all t he equipment pff the Candlestick Point portion of the freeway to t)).is job, along with the DW 20's t hat have completed the dirt mov­ing on Skyline Highway. With the many pieces of equipment now in operation there is much activity in t his vicinity. Bob Barbettini's cats are removing the trees.

Rancho Buri-Buri, a Bauer ·Lesser development, is being graded qy Piombo Construction. The pre­liminary work of clearing the swampland is completed .and now th_e dirt moving has begun. A total of. 400 lots will be available when finished.

John Delphia has moved in a large spread of Cobras, cats and cans on the Standard Builders de­velo-pment atop of Twin Peaks. Steep grades and long hauls don't .ailow the' operat~rs on these rigs much time for sightseeing.

Activity on Guy F . Atkinson's freeway job will start soon. Load­ing in the pit will be done with a 15GB an<j. an 88B shoveL They are now being assembled at the job site.

-New building construction con­osists of a new addition to the Amer­ican Can Gompany at 23rd and 3rd

"John Busterud has built for himself a record of fairness to or­ganized lf!bor . He is a former AFL member and worked his way through college and law school on­construction jobs .and in logging 1 camps."

John Busterud deserves tlle sup­port of all working people for his stand on labor issues. In addition, he is fighting an opponent w ho voted against increasing unem­ployment compensation be nefits, voted ·to abandon uncompleted public housing project s, and op­posed giving unemploymen t bene­fits to employees receiving dis­missal or severance pay.
