Marin Ross (UP1) county in California was hard hit by a storm five inches of rain in San Sir Francis Drake blvd. in From Page One Kennedy Message Includes Land-Use Conversion Plan In addition to the three ma Jor commodity bills, the Pres ident proposed a number of other measures including ex pansion of a land-use conver sion program and authoriza tion for a federal loan insur ance program to expand rural housing credit. For cotton, Kennedy pro posed two separate federal payment programs, one to the cotton trade on a two-year trial basis and the second di rectly to growers. These pay ments would cut domestic market prices to levels com petitive with prices paid by foreign mills, while scientists seek to help farmers cut pro duction costs through moves like elimination of the boll weevil. When costs come down, Kennedy said, price supports to growers could be reduced. Cotton Legislation Urged The President urged ap proval of new cotton legisla tion before the end of Febru ary so it could apply to plant ing of the 1863 crop. lie recommended that farm rrs be allowed to grow cotton above their basic llltili acreage allotments for export at the world price. He said that in l!W:t, the extra planting at ex port pi iccs-about 8.5 cents be low present domestic supports -might be permitted at up to 20 per cent above the already announced 19U3 acreage al lotments. For feed grains, Kennedy proposed continuation of the voluntary acreage - reduction programs which Congress ap proved for JUKI, lUli2, and again for this year. He pointed out that if no new legislation is enacted tins year, the current farm law will allow unlimited feed grain production and price i reduce output of surplus milk supports will come down from this year's $1.25 per bushel on corn to a "disas trous low" of about 80 cents. For dairy products, Ken nedy recommended payments for production cutbacks. He said the combination of pay ments plus market prices propped by federal supports should be set to give cooperat ing farmers more than they now earn and "Mib.slanlialiy'' more than non-cooperators. In addition, Kennedy called for passage of a plan under which farmers in federal milk marketing order areas could without cutting sales to the high-priced bottling milk mar ket. The President said a new dairy bill also should "make it possible to drop the price of butter and bultcrlat and thereby increase their con sumption." Kennedy also warned Euro pean Common Market nations against putting restrictions on imports of American farm goods, lie said the United States "intends to take every step necessary to protect the full rights due American agri- I cultural exports." Foreign Briefs BRITAIN LEADS IN EDUCATING IHAQIS Baghdad, Iraq it f!" More Iraqi sludcnls sludicd in Rus sia than in the United Stales in 1962, but Britain taught more than both combined.

WEST GERMANY NOTES HITLER ANNIVERSARY Berlin I IT West German television marked tho 30th anniversary of Adolf Hitler's rise to power Wednesday night with a 70-minute program entitled "How It Happened."

Winds Recorded At 100 MPH Force Closure of Tower By United Press International Rain swept the California coast today and snow slugged the Rockies, ending a month of bitter cold and broken records.

Brown Asks Four-Year Limited Moratorium on Death Penalty dpA .. - i i . ... invoke only 2 per n 1 1 1 Sacramento, Calif. - tl'Pli -Gov. Edmund G. Brown ask ed the California legislature today to approve a four-year limited moratorium on the death penalty. In a special message to the lawmakers, t h e governor said: "A moratorium would end ! our modern equivalent of the Roman circus, the lurid and emotional aunospnerc in which society must render the most awesome of its judg ments - life or death for one of its citizens." Concurrently with the mes sage, the legislature received from Assemblyman Lester A. McMillan (D-Los Angeles) the formal bill for the moratori um. McMillan's last attempt at a moratorium died on an i unusual 40-40 lie vote of the Assembly two years ago. Facet Opposition The administration bill would grant a four-year mora torium to all but double kill ers, twice - convicted killers, kidnap-murders or prisoners who kill peace officers. It ' would not apply to prisoners now on death row at San Quentin. Brown said he agreed to the exceptions because they re move the most common ob- ' jeetions to total abolition, ; which he favors, and added: "It is better that we move Brigitie Bareof Receives Divorce Pal is - iW - French actress lirigitte Dardot was granted u divorce Wednesday from lior second husband.

Overload Bill Is Introduced Salem A bill that would give discretionary powers to district and justice courts in levying fines for overloads on motor vehicles has been intro duced in the 1963 session by Sen. L. W. Newbry (R-Ash-land). The present 1 a w provides for minimum fines which are "exhorbitant," Newbry said, and give the judge no authori ty to reduce them because of cxtcnuat i n g circumstances. Senator Ncwbry's proposal will give the courts discre tionary powers in levying the fines based on circumstances. '"The penalties for overload ing have been extreme, and have placed particular hard ship on log haulers,' Senator Newbry stated in introducing the legislation. "There is some question in my mind as to whether the present law is even constitu tional since the constitution provides that the penalties must fit the crime. The fines for slight overloads Usually exceed the fines levied for drunken driving and obvious ly an overloaded truck does not present the hazard to the public that a drunk at the wheel docs." Newbry maintained that his hill would in no way reduce the responsibility of the truck operators to keep their loads within the limits required un der the law. t It M In!

The bill was certain to face strong opposition from minor ity Republicans in the As sembly and from at least part of the state Senate, which stopped Brown's last all-out try for repeal of the death penalty. Brown presented his case in an eight-page printed pamph let reviewing both the state's recent history of executions and his own convictions on the subject. "You know where I stand," he said. "I oppose capital pun ishment because it weakens the very society it is meant to protect; because it shames the public conscience and denies the entire rehabilitative con cept of modern penology He said that in 1961, there were 609 homicid'- in Cali fornia but only ' Pend ants were found gi irst degree murder anu y 20 were given the sentence of death. Due to reversals of penalty and commutations, the gov ernor said, probably only 12 of the 609 murderers actually will die in the gas chamber. "What possible deterrence (to murder) can there be in a penally we invoke only 2 per cent of the time ne sr.i--u the lawmakers. "I cannot be lieve a person contemplating murder is much afraid of a penalty he has 49 chances in 50 of escaping. "It is a fact that we sen tence to death members of minority races, the poor, the unintelligent and the friend less for crimes we are prone to minimize in defendants who are more like ourselves," he said.
