Four Proposition Sparks Controversy at Long Beach Club Session
At a Los Cerritos District council session the California Federation of Women's Clubs debated Proposition Four with Adm. John R. McKinney arguing for the bill’s benefits and Milton J. Kramer criticizing its assumptions. McKinney claimed the measure would add four billion barrels of oil, boost state revenue, and support schools and highways, while Kramer warned the figure was unsubstantiated and could enable oil companies to operate with lax oversight. The program included lectures and a luncheon at Lafayette Hotel with remarks from Dr. Mabel E. Kinney and a later talk by John E. Baird of Southern California Gas Company.
