Newspaper Page Text8 A SUNDAY. JUNE 1, 1963 MLUMJHO MAIL IMBUHL. MbLtOHO, OMfcbOM U i 1 Tuo Republicans Join Democrats To Approve Version of Budget Br United Press International .the Communist party of the Some sign oi maw were w, w w,o aDDarent among GOP tanks, which had vowed to block Gov. Edmund G. Brown's rec ent t3.2 billion 1963-6 buag et unless Brown's withhold- ins tax croDosal were remov ed as a basis for balancing it. Two Republicans joined 25 Democrat In the Senate to HDDrove a version of the hndeet that had been trimmed by $43.8 million, giving this version just enough voles for passage. But the major stumbling bloclc act up by Republicans remained In tne Assemmy, which must concur with the Senate on the final version drawn by a special commit tee of six from both cham bers which now has the bill. Whatever the final version, it must Dass by three quar- ters majority, and it must have an "urgency" clause to nut it into Immediate elieci. The assembly passed version had neither, and the reason was the Republicans. Find Needed Votes But the author of the budg et bill. Assemblyman Robert W. Crown, D-Alamcda, said, when the time came, there would be "enough" votes . . '. "unless I am surprised." This ; meant Crown felt the Demo crats had found the needed two Republicans in the lower chamber who would vote for the bill. The withholding bill, also passed by the assembly, rest ed in a senate committee, and one of the Republican sena tors who helped Democrats push the budget bill througn the upper chamber said there weren't enough votes in the committee to get it on the Senate floor. But Sen. Don aid Crunsky, Watsonvllle, added "The governor is pret ty good at twisting arms and maybe- he has picked up some votes. But I don't think he has enough." Meantime, Governor Brown was studying a bill passed by both houses and awaiting his signature which would raise the state gasoline tax from six to seven cents. Brown said he would not decide whether to sign It for 10 days, or, after the legislature was scheduled to adjourn June 21. The question was whether Brown's signature would vio late his pledge of "no new taxes." Leaders Bay Ho Democratic leaders said no - because $70 million annual revenue from this and a clause to raise truck weight fees 19 per cent would go to cities and counties for road repairs, although they would bo col lectcd by the state. Brown said he would take "a good, hard look" at the bill. . The controversial fair hous ing bill was locked in a stale mate in a senate committee. It came over whether private housing should be Included. The author said yea. The com mittee chairman, Sen. Luther E. Gibson (D-Vallejo), said no. Under the normal schedule, this committee had one meet ing left to' consider 'the bill before the legislature . went home. Delays In action on the bill prompted a "sit In'' dem onstration In the Capitol build ing May , 29 that iwas still under way, . . i . .... Electioni In an upset vic tory for tlie Republican par ty, Compton Mayor Del Claw son defeated favored assem blyman Carlcy V. Porter in a special election for the con gressional seat held by the late and popular Rep. Clyde Doyle. It was the same scat Claw- son failed to take away from Doyle in the last election and it touched off conflicting In terprctullons on how a Re publican could grab the vote in the heavily democratic dis trict. In Washington and in Compton, the GOP interpret ed the win as a trend toward the party and a slap at the New Frontier, Some Demo crats said their party was his torically weak in special elec tions and dismissed it as not particularly significant. But Assembly Speaker Jesse Unruh commented from the floor of the lower house, "1 simply want to warn my own party that the legislature might conclude that the peo ple of tins state are not as iiDcrally inclined as some might wish they were." Claw son piled up an 11.000 vote margin In final semi-official returns, holding 33.086 to Porter's 21.951. No other can didale in the eight man race received more than 3,000 votes. Reporti The 12th annual re port of the state Senate's Factfinding subcommittee on Un-American Activities said the 6,000 member of the John Birch Society In the state arc Influential but not subversive. The report said the 5.000 to 6,000 members of the John Birch Society were augmented, however, by bout 60,000 who are oriented toward the Birch program in the state. The report said the society . was neither secret, fascist, subversive, un-American or anti-semilic. The report said there were in California about 2,000 "formal members" of It added that the Black Muslim movement had at tracted 50,000 to 100,000 across the nation, and was "growing rapidly" in Califor nia and New York especially. Although the Muslim move ment preaches hatred of the Whites, the report said, it un doubtedly had accomplished "much good for many of its own members." ICBM: The first squadron of Titan 2 Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM) to be entered into the nation's ICBM defense arsenal was de clared operational ahead of schedule at Norton Air Force base near San Bernardino. The missiles were then trans ferred to the 39th Strategic Missile Wing at Davls-Mon-than AFB, Tucson, Ariz. , The action gave the Strate gic Air Command operational control of the first squadron of the Air Force's largest and most powerful missiles. The Titan 2 is designed to be launched directly from an un derground silo, 155 feet deep and 55 feet in diameter. Try and Stop Mc By BENNETT CERF- TVTWLY ELECTED public official should bear la mind 1 Maxwell Drake's story about the customer in a pet shop who toyed with buying a parrot on display. The bird was absolutely quiet for sev eral moments, and the customer finally asked a sale clerk, "Does this parrot ever talk?" "In deed he does, ma'am," the cleric assured her, "but he doesn't wish to be quoted." A lad In California, just graduated from high school, obtained a job in a, new electronic plant, but quit at the end oC a fortnight. "Tli hour and wage were fine," he admitted, "but I . . . . , lust didn't like the work. I'm sorry now I learned the exisfaesa." James Gordon Bennett, owner of the once-powerful New Tork Herald, was a vain a he was capricious. He demanded personal credit for every triumph earned by his staff; when any employee wa accorded public recognition on his own, Bennett sacked him. One day Bennett demanded by cable that a list be given him of all the men on the Herald staff the managing editor considered Indispensable. A list of hi fourteen best men was promptly supplied. Bennett immediately fired every one of them! He told hi secretary, "I will have no Indispensable men in my employ." e UM. tr Burnett Oert Distributed by Xing restart eradicate The Collector's Corner May 3 Rave us the 15-cent airmail Montgomery Blair stamp.'
