MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. ORE. SUNDAY, AUGUST 21. 160 The Week in California Brown Loses Water Battle To State's Largest Union By United Press International Gov. Edmund G. Brown who won his water battle in the legislature, has lost it in California t largest labor un ion. The 2,000 delegates to the states Labor Federation an nual convention in Sacrameiv to fell solidly behind their own leaders and flatly op posed the governor's $1.75 bil lion water bond issue. Brown made a personal pica to the delegates to sup port the bond issue, planned to pay for taking northern California water to the south ern part of the state. : But his plea fell on deaf ears. One delegate, John L, Donovan of Los Angeles, threw Brown's own words back at him during debate over the convention action. He said that the governor himself had admitted "many bad fea tures in the proposition." Ralph Bronson of Los An geles tried to get the union members to override their ex ecutive committee and go along with Brown. He said there is still time for the leg islature to correct some of the Inequities of the water propos al. Labor's key objection to the bond issue was its failure to contain written guarantees against what the AFL-CIO un ion calls "unjust enrichment" of large farmers who will be served with water from the project. The delegates also disap pointed Brown by refusing to take any stand on an initia tive proposition in November designed, to re-apportion- the state senate and give southern California a louder voice in the upper chamber. A delegate from southern California, Mae Stoneman of Los Angeles, told the conven tion that union leaders in her area had gone too far in sup porting the re-apportionment plan to back off now. Another highlight of the week's news was the arrest in Merced of Army Warrant Officer Clarence Ashley on a charge of kidnap-murder in the death of 6-year-old Angic May Stewart. The young girl vanished from a state park a week ago after Ashley had befriended her and her family.
