George H. Shellenberger; Promoted Conservative Candidacies

George H. Shellenberger, 89, former executive of the Merchants and Manufacturers’ Assn. in Los Angeles and the principal volunteer of the United for California campaign fund, which encouraged the candidacies of conservatives seeking a seat in the state Legislature. He also, in 1924, helped organize the Los Angeles Community Chest. An insurance and stock broker in the Los Angeles area for more than six decades, Shellenberger in 1960 revitalized the United for California group, a group he had helped start in 1934 to oppose Upton Sinclair’s gubernatorial candidacy. At one time it had amassed a treasury of more than $300,000. In Los Angeles on Friday.
