End Poverty in California, Socialist Upton Sinclair candidate for Gov. confronted these "welfare magnet, " arguments, about tons of Okies invading. (An interesting sidelight, active in his campaign, Clark Kerr, and future reactionaries, Sam Yorty and Morris Ryskand.)

In another recent newsreel there is shown a shaggy man with bristling Russian whiskers and a menacing look in his eye.

"For whom are you voting?" asked the interviewer.

"Vy, I am foting for Seenclair."

"Why are you voting for Mr. Sinclair?"

"Vell, his system vorked vell in Russia, vy can't it vork here?" -- Michael Pugliese
