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.
Other developments around
the state:
