Brown Wednesday proposed an "extensive but cautious" plan for reorganiza tion of state government to the 1963 legislature. He called the program a conservative and logical" ex tension of the first stage re forms put into effect by the 1961 legislature. 'I have no doubt they will arouse controversy, he said in a special message to the lawmakers. "It is, unfortun- tely. the nature of govern ment to multiply rather than simplify its functions. 'But controversy must not divert us from answering positively the question that confronts government at all levels today: How can we serve the people more effic iently, more responsively and more economically?" One proposal was a sort of catch-all. It was a constitu tional amendment granting the governor sweeping reor ganization powers - subject to legislative veto. Under this part of the pro gram, Brown would be able to transfer any unit of govern ment to another, consolidate functions within a unit, abol ish part or all of the functions of any jurisdiction and abol ish any unit whose functions are obsolete.

TEXANS HEAR SLOCANS Austin, Tex. - (UPD - It may be true what they say about Texas. Among three resolu tions heard by a House com mittee Wednesday suggesting slogans for state license plates was "Texas Has Everything." Esther Dumo, a matronly clerk whom he had known for ten years. "I was mad," Lu cero told police, "because Esther left me and was friend ly with Goldman." Lucero told officers he had intended that both Goldman and Mrs. Dumo be "roughed up." He said "I didn't want them hurt bad, just slapped around, like it was a robbery, so it would be reported to police. This would be embar rassing to them." He said he told Hoskins "he could keep what he might find in the till." Picked Up Hoskins, who has a criminal record including a rape charge, was picked up at the home of his mother in San Diego, where he was trans ferred to the custody of San Francisco officers Sgt. John Fotinos and Lt. Frank Gregg. Fotinos said Hoskins told him he knew nothing of the assault on Goldman. "He doesn't recall when he left San Francisco, he just said he came here aboard a bus to help his mother," Fotinos said. In San Francisco, officers said two acquaintances of Hoskins told them that the husky Hoskins had spoken of the attack on Goldman the day before it happened. They said he told them, "I'm going to do this guy in. I'm going to pop his eye out." Lucero was picked up in San Francisco at about the same time Hoskins was seized in San Diego. Police, follow ing a tip that a man of his general description had been seen in the neighborhood of Goldman's store the day of the attack, arrested him on a street corner. Issued Plea Coreris and Fotinos had been baffled by the apparent senselessness of the attack, and had issued a plea for pub lic assistance in finding the assailant. Police said that Lucero's only reason for jealousy of Goldman was that he had fol lowed in his car several nights as the delicatessen owner drove his clerk home after work. Mrs. Dumo, whose legs were burned by the lye, iden tified Hoskins from photo graphs as the attacker. In formed of Lucero's confessed role, she said, "If that's true then he's an animal." Goldman's wife, at her hus band's side in the hospital, said, "The man (Lucero) is obviously sick and needs help. It shows how twisted some people become in this world. It's so ridiculous." Police later announced that they had arrested two juve niles in connection with an attack against Goldman four days earlier.
