Kennedy Visits State While
Legislature Considers Budget
President . 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.
Kennedy chose his Califor
nia visit, which terminated
Saturday when he left for
Honolulu, to announce he
will visit Great Britain at the
end of the month to confer
with Prime Minister Harold
MacMillan. It would be their
first meeting In six months.
Greeted Br 100,000
The President was greeted
by 100,000 persons when he
landed in San Diego and later
addressed commencement ex
ercises at San Diego State
college which awarded him
an honorary degree.
After attending a $1,000 a
plate dinner for the Presi
dent In the Beverly Hilton
Jiotel in Los Angeles and at
tending his daughter's grad
uation in Monterey, Brown
returned to the legislature
which held itss first Sunday
meeting of the session to
meet the crush of bills.
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.

San Francisco. One crewman
of the Japanese ship was
killed when the bow of the
Asterion ripped into the star
board side of the Kokoku
Maru about amidships.
The U.S. Coast Guard
plucked the other 43 crew

Government charging the
ship was negligent.

But they said there was
very little moisture on Mars
compared to Earth and not
nearly enough to fill any ca

thought to exist on the pla

speculate on the question of
some type of life on Mars but
pointed out that all known
life uses water and life would
be "less likely" if no water
vapor at all had been de
tected.
