Brown to suggest an addition to
the administration water program
hich silted through southern
ranks last week.
Shaw is the author of a con
stitutional amendment introduced
in the upper house .Monday. The
measure would protect all state
water contracts from any future
changes by the Legislature.
"1 think this is the major point
in the southern bill of particu
lars" to be presented to Brown,
said Assemblyman Carley V. Por
ter 'D-Comptoni.
"This is the absolute irreducible
minimum the southern water
agencies will agree on," he said.
Brown's water program present
ed to the Legislature last week
called for the spending of some
thing over 700 million dollars in
bond, tidelands and general funds
to build water projects.
Brown also said a constitutional
amendment on water rights was
not necessary but added that the
door 'was left open for one. This
brought opposition Irom southern
ers who have demanded a water
rights amendment before any
money is spent, but strong Dem
ocratic leaders went wholeheart
edly for the Brown plan.
Porter pointed out that under the
Shaw amendment as well as one
he was preparing, water for the
south would be provided for in
contracts with the state, but the
contracts would be protected from
luiure change.
He said Brown promised the
soutn mat ne would consider lend
ing his support to a southern bill
of particulars additions to his
already announced program if
southern water agencies and lead
ers can agree.
Porter said the Los Angeles
Department of Water and Power
was meeting with the Mctronoli
tan District Wednesday, the MWD
Board ol Directors was meeting
Feb. 10 and an overall meeting
of water agencies and southern
county representatives would be
fob. 12-1 J in an attempt to agree
on tnc bin of particulars.
Sen. 1 Richard Richards (D-Los
Angeles' was drawing up a pro
posed bill of particulars to present
to the south. It was expected that
Richards might suggest tying an
amendment such as Shaw s to the
500 million dollar bond issue asked
by Brown.
If Richards proposals are
agreed upon by soulhciyi leaders,
the southern delegation then will
present it to Brown. The governor
said last week that he will make
every effort to include the essen
tials of the southern proposals in
to his program to make the over
all waler program acceptable to
the entire state.
Water Director Harvey O. Banks
agreed with Brown that he did
not leel a water rights amendment
was necessary, but he said "if the
Legislature could come up with
something that would please both
the north and the south it un
doubtedly would speed up the en
lire program."
In other water action Monday.
Sen. Donald L. Grunsky (R-Wat-sonvillel
asked for an appropria
tion of five million dollars for
slate grants to local water proj
ects. A 1957 Grunsky bill set the
slage for state help on local proj
eels but no money was provided

At Space Administration
WASHINGTON (UPD - Mem-i
bers of the House Space Commit
tee charged today that the Na
tional Space Administration has
taken a penny-pinching approach
to the international space race.
High-ranking Democratic and
Republican members said they
felt certain the nation's space
program could be speeded up de
spite space administration claims
that it is moving ahead as rapid
ly as possible.
Members particularly ex
pressed skepticism of statements
by top space administration offi
cials that there are no more
projects they protitably could
spend money on if they had it.'
Ihe statements came as the
committee summoned Gen.
Thomas D. White, Air Force
chief of staff, and other top Air

of its hearings.

Police Seek
Bay Killer
DALY CITY (UPI) - San Mateo
County authorities today sought a
killer with a "terrible hatred" for
a landscape gardener who suppo
sedly had no enemies.
The bullet-riddled body of Au
gust Norry, 28. was found Monday
on its back, arms outstretched, on
a lonely hill just south of the San
Francisco city limits.
Police found the body four miles
from where the victim's blood-
spattered car was discovered Sun
day night in a lovers' lane.
Sheriff Earl Whitmore said the!
assailant pumped 10 bullets into
Norry's body with a .38 caliber
pistol, probably Sunday afternoon.
The body was dragged from the
car, which was then abandoned
at the lovers' lane.
The victim's wife of 18 months.
Darlene, 20, said Norry left home
Sunday morning to work on a
landscaping job. She and Norry's
three brothers were unable to ex
plain the crime, pointing out that
the victim had "no enemies."
The sheriff said he was con
vinced Norry had at least one en

with testimony from space ad
ministration director T. Keith
Glennan and deputy director
Hugh L. Dryden. They outlined
space program goals over the
next 10 to 15 years.
Committee Chairman Overton
Brooks iD-La.) told United Press
International he has "not been
happy with the progress of the
nation's space program" and
what he heard from Glennan and
Dryden "bolstered his feeling."
However, he said he wanted to
reserve judgment on their con
tention that they couldn't move
faster until he heard from space
experts in the Army, Navy and
Air Force.
Rep. Victor L. Anfuso 'D-N.Y.l
said the United States "can do
much better than it's doine." He
said space administration otficials
or those above them apparently
are thinking in terms of budget
balancing rather (han the nation's
security."
Rep. James G. Fulton iR-Pa.)
said the "national space program
needs a real push. He said he
hoped the committee hearings
would "awaken the public to the
need.
Rep. B. F. Sisk iD-Calif.) said
"there is no question whatso
ever that the space procram al
ready is being held up by short
ages of money, personnel or
equipment.
Rep. Erwin Mitchell (D-Ga.)
said "it only makes sense" that
more basic research could result
in greater savings in time and
money later.

Gov. Edmund G. Brown is on rec
ord in support of such legislation.
He recently told a news conference
if a bill either for abolition or for
3 moratorium came to him with
the approval of the Legislature,
he would sign it into law.
'I think most of you know that
I have been opposed to capital
punishment and slill am. Brown,
a one-time district attorney, told
newsmen.
Director of Corrections Richard
A. McGec told LPI he takes no
position on the issue as a public
olticial. Rut he said as a "long,
time student and observer of cap
ital punishment" he believes ths
"weight of logic and experience
lies on the side of abolition or at
least a moratorium to test the val
id. ly of Ihe contention that it does
in fact serve as a deterrent."
Offsetting the views of the gov
ernor and McGee were state
ments from such veteran law en
forcement officers as Police Chief
W. H. Parker of Los Angeles,
District Attorney J. Frank Coak
loy of Alameda County, District
Attorney Don Keller and Chief El
mer Jansen of San Diego, Sheriff
Don Cox of Sacramento, and San
Francisco's Chief Tom Cahiil and 1
District Attorney Tom Lynch.
"I am very much opposed to
any law that would abolish capi
tal punishment on an unqualified
basis," said Keller. "I feel such
a law would be ill advised."
Cox joined with Sacramento Dis
trict Attorney John M. Price in
an open letter to the county's
three state legislators.
"Such a drastic change in the
law without a complete study of
the problem may very well invite
disaster to the state and the ever
increasing efforts to combat vio
lent crime," they said.
Coakley, chairman of the Legis
lative Committee of the California
Peace Officers Association, said
his organization opposed bills to
outlaw capital punishment two
years ago and will do so again.
"1 spent 10 years in homicids
department." said Cahiil, "and I
am satisfied that in cases where
capital punishment has been used,
it was fair and just."
Lynch, who once served as an
assistant district attorney under
Brown, said he favors capital
punishment but "I believe any
bill to outlaw it should be sub
mitted to the voters."
Parker has gone on record nu
merous times in opposition to do
ing away with the death penalty
and said he is against the McMillan-Farr
bills.
McMillan admitted his measura
is running into more opposition
this time than it did two years
ago when the Senate voted 31-9
against Farr's moratorium bill
and a McMillan bill to restrict
the use of capital punishment
squeaked by the Assembly 43-39
but died in a Senate committee.
"But I know I'm right." he said.
"Sooner or later California will
join the more than 38 countries and
eight states which have abolished
the death penalty. I hope the Leg
islature will do it this year."
