Kennedy paid hit promised visit to Califor nia and the California legis lature was faced with ham mering out the largest budget in the history of any state $3.2 billion with only 14 days left in its six-month session. The President's visit drew Gov. Edmund G. Brown from the capitol to greet Kennedy and on the night of (lie President's arrival in San Di ego Brown's budget bill wan sent to the assembly floor by the Assembly Ways and Means committee.

Brown's budget, which he proposed to balance with no new taxes, laced a solid front of opposition from Republi cans, who claimed they could maintain it to the end. The GOP's chief Irritation was the personal Income tax with holding plan, a key in Brown's plan to forestall new By United Press International j taxes by speeding up collec tion of present taxes. The Republicans weren being taken lightly. The As sembly Ways and Means com mittee was forced to clear for floor action the withhold ing tax bill "without recom mendation" in order to assure Its debate on the floor. And, In a parliamentary move that pinpointed the qualms being suffered by lawmakers, including Demo crats, the "emergency clause' was removed from the budget to lake up where the present one leaves off at the. end of the fiscal year. On the withholding tax bill, the indications were there weren't enough commit tee votes to recommend floor passage of the bill, thus the without recommendation On the budget bill, removal of the emergency clause low ered to 41 from 34 the num ber of votes needed to clear the budget in Assembly. There are 52 Democrats in the Assembly. Dacisioni The U.S. Supreme Court ended a 40-year fight over water of the Colorado river between California and Arizona with a decision that generally favored Arizona. Arizona was allowed by the decision to use up lo 2.8 mil lion acre feet of water from the main stream of the river instead of the 1.3 miiiion acre feet it has been taking. Cali fornia was limited to 4 4 mil lion acre fect. But California department of water resources director William E. Warne said there was "no chance of running out of water" In southern California. He added it was "conceivable" that the State Water Plan, designed to pump water from northern Califor nia to southern California, might have to be accelerated by "a year or two." Atty. Gen. Stanley Mosk said he was "disappointed" by the decision, but added that the 'worst feature" of a major plan to solve the dispute had been deleted by the decision. This, he said, was a water distribution formula for dry years. The court left this up to the Secretary of Interior.
