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.

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."
