Elaih'omls, Unions figi'ee To Request Higher Payroll Assembly Seeks Budget Approval In California Sacramento-flJPD - The As sembly moved quickly today to push for approval of an augmented budget to operate California's huge state gov ernment during the current fiscal year. In a series of dramatic events, the Senate's week long stalemate over the adminis tration's spending program was broken Monday. It was a major victory for Demo cratic Gov. Edmund G. Brown. By a 34-8 vote and with no debate, the upper chamber adopted an $84.0 million budget augumentatlon meas ure and sent It to the Assem bly. But the lower chamber wasn't necessarily going to rubber stamp the bill. Assembylman Robert W. Crown (D-Alameda), chairman of Ways and Means, said his committee would hammer out Its own version. The lower chamber version now stands at the $114 million submitted by Brown, and probably will be trimmed. Ways and Means set an afternoon session to consider the budget augmentation, which would be added to a spend! ig - program totaling $3.14 oillion approved by the regulr.r session. . Assembly Republicans ap parently were backing down on their original threat to hold up the budget in retalia tion for approval of an bank and corporation tax speedup bill. This measure passed both houses last week.

Judge Gus J. Solomon re fused to bar the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation from netting salmon, stcelhead, eels and other fish. The Indians asked for the Injunction against the state, which has been enforcing .slate fishing laws prohibiting the Indians from fishing for eels. The injunction applies only to the Three Mile site. Judge Solomon ruled In 100 that the Indians had the right to fish at their usual and accustomed stations in the tributaries of the Snake and Columbia rivers and in the Blue Mountains and adja cent areas.

The extra revenue is need ed to help save the railroad retirement fund from bank ruptcy. Future benefits that the fund is required to pay out far exceed anticipated tax revenue. Ironically, railroad labor and management quietly reached the reported agree ment on the payroll tax legis lation at the very time that they were deadlocked over the work rules issue that threatens a nationwide rail strike. The main feature of the payroll proposal would boost to $430 a month the earnings base to which the railroad re. tirement tax and unemploy ment compensation tax is ap plied. Equal Contribution. Both taxes apply now only to the first $400 in monthly earnings. The railroads and their employees contribute equal amounts to the retire ment fund. But only the rail roads pay into the jobless pay fund. Both funds are In ser ious financial trouble. One source said he had heard estimates that the pro posal would provide $89 mil lion a year in additional rev enue, with railroads and their employees each paying $28 million more into the retire ment fund and the railroads paying about $33 million more into the jobless pay fund Informants said the boost in the taxable earnings base along with other less signifi cant changes in the jobless pay program were agreed upon by representatives of all the railroad unions and representatives of the Ameri can Railroad Association. Portlander Found Shot To Death Along Highway Hagerman, Idaho-IUPD - A Portland, Ore., man was found shot to death In a pick up truck parked alongside Highway 30 Monday night. Gooding County Sheriff Keith Anderson said the vic tim tentatively had been Iden tified as Richard A. Harald, 31. There was no identifica tion in the man's clothing or in the pickup, Anderson said, but Harald s boss, George Owen Portland, furnished a physi cal description thai matched the dead man. Thraa Qu.itlontd Law enforcement officers throughout southern Idaho set up roadblocks Monday night but failed to net any suspects, Anderson said. The roadblocks later were pulled down. Anderson said he ques tioned three men about the case but later released them The body was found in a pickup truck parked in roadside park about 2i miles south of here. Harald had been shot in the head. Vahlclt Tracad The vehicle, which bore Oregon license plates, was traced to Owen. At first, it was believed he might be the victim, but officers later spoke with him by telephone. It was Owen who suggested the victim might be Harald. "It looks like someone probably shot him in his sleep," Anderson said. He ad ded the motive appeared to be robbery. Senator Magnuson Undergoing Tests Seattlc-UTH-Sen. Warren G Magnuson (D-Wash.) was in Providence Hospital here to- day for diagnostic tests in connection with recurring at tacks of fever. Magnuson'a physician, Dr. Alex Grinstein, said there was "nothing alarming" about Mugnuson's condition. But he added it was uncertain how long the senator would have to remain in the hospital. Magnuson arrived here Frt day evening and was confin ed to his hotel room until Monday when he went to the hospital. He had been suffer ing from fever up to 101 de grees. Grienstcin said Magnuson'i ailment may be a recurrence of an illness Magnuson con tracted while in military serv ice In the Pacific. Approximately 3 4 per cent of all children in the U.S. have divorced parents. Russia Seizes Opportunity To Enter Debate By UN Council on United Nations, N.Y.-IUPD-Russia today seized the first available chance to leap into the Security Council debate on the overseas policies of Portugual, a member of the North Atlantic Alliance. Without waiting for presen tation of the case against Por tugal to be completed by the four African countries desig nated to do so by the recent Addis Ababa conference, So viet Ambassador Nikolai T. Fedorenko inscribed himself to speak at today's meeting The council's hearing of the unanimous demand of 32 African countries for UN dis cipline of Portugal and South Africa for repression of na tives began tensely Monday under doubled security pre cautions. A brief sit-in at U.S. dele gation headquarters was led by William Worthy, a report er for the Baltimore Afro American, to demand Wash ington's support for the ex M'T A em RADO. When two people find it impossible to agree, they frequently leave the decision up to a third party. This is arbitration. Arbitration, we believe, is the only way left to head off a crippling nation-wide rail strike. The railroads have repeatedly 'said they are willing to leave the decision in the work rules dispute to an impartial third party. The rail unions have consistently refused to trust their case to such impartial analysis and decision. The only remaining solution appears to be action by Congress requiring both parties to submit to arbitration. .WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS? WHAT COULD BE FAIRER? The public overwhelmingly favors arbitration over a rail strike. A recent nation-wide survey by one of America's oldest and most re spected opinion research organizations showed a three to one vote among the general public for arbitration in the transportation industry (60 for, 20 against, 20 no opinion). Do union members share their leaders' opposition to arbitration? THEY DO NOT! The same survey showed 54 of union members in favor of arbitration over a strike, 302 in opposition, and 16 no opinion. How do union families who stand the brunt of a work stoppage fed about arbitration? By a greater majority than the general public, they favor arbitration over a strike. Sixty-six per cent of the union families support arbitration, while only 19." oppose, and 15 express no opinion. In view of the basic fairness of an impartial third party decision when two sides fail to agree; in view of the overwhelming public support for the principle of arbitration in transportation; and in view of the disastrous consequences of a nation-wide rail strike, Congress can serve the public interest best by promptly enact ing legislation requiring a settlement of the issues in this dispute. AKV3EH1 Portugal pulsion of South Africa from the United Nations because of its racial policy of apar theid - a demand not made formally by the Africans -and for discipline of Portugal for its colonial policy. Ambassadoi Adlai E. Stev enson told Worthy's delega tion that U.S. policy would be unfolded after the Africans put forward specific demands for UN action. The Africans limited them selves Monday to demanding CAM RAILROADS Policies unspecified action against Portugal and South Africa lest the other African states are moved to act against the two countries on their own. J. Rudolf Grimes, foreign minister of Liberia, opened the case. He and Foreign Min ister Mongi Slim of Tunisia, who also spoke Monday, to gether with representatives Madagascar and Sierra Leone, were designated by the Ad dis Ababa conference to argue the case here.
