ANDERSON SACRAMENTO il'PD - North and south played a waiting game today with the slate budget and water program. The Assembly, dominated by southerners, tied a string to the budget bill and delayed final ac tion on it until it sees what the northern Senate docs with Gov. Edmund G. Brown's proposed wa ter, program. The lower House actually passed the budget to the Senate Wednes day by vote of 55-2j. but Assem blyman Bruce Sumner (R-Santa Ana) kept the bill in possession of the lower house by a motion to reconsider. Sumner admitted that he was trying to delay action on the $2.- 223.043.4o8 budget only long enough to see if the Senate is sincere about voting a water program Senate action on Governor Brown's water bill, SB1106 by Sen. Hugh Burns iD-Fresno), was set late today in the upper house A water program is something the north and south have been fighting over for almost five years in the Legislature. This session, with the governor prodding both houses, the admin istration's compromise water pro posal appears to have a good chance of passace in both the ben ate and Assembly. But several southern asseiroly- men. both Republicans and Dem ocrats. appeared wary and decided to try to hang on to their control over the budget bill until the Sen ate actually approves the water program. In its present form, tne water bill proposes a $1,750,000,000 bond issue, most of which would be spent to build the Feather River Project (FRP) to export northern water to the Bay Area,' the San Joaquin Valley and southern Cal ifornia. The measure contains guaran tees that northern counties where the water originates will -be assured of all the water they need tor tneir ultimate use. H also in cludes earmarking of 8250.000.000 in bond money to develop the Eel River and another $130,000,000 to build local projects in the north. under the bill, the south would be guaranteed a firm right to wa ter it imports from the north since contracts for the delivery of thei water would be deemed valid for the 50-60 year life of the bond is sue. Assembly action on the budget will Wednesday once again dem onstrated the governor s firm hold over the lower house Democrats. Assemblyman Jesse M. L'nruh 'D-Los Angeles), who master minded the budget bill for the ad ministration, successfully resisted 10 different attempts to amend the spending program. Oil tax: An Assembly commit tee scheduled a hearing late to day on the governor's proposal to tax all oil and gas produced in California at the rate of two per cent ot tne value at tne wellhead As amended, the bill also would levy a slimjlar tax on oil import ed to California for refining. Republicans: Assemblyman Jo seph C. Shell of Los Angeles. GOP leader in the Assembly, charged Democratic Gov. .Edmund G Brown was "deliberately conceal ing anticipated state revenues for 1959-60 in order to build up a "whopping big cash surplus." Shell asserted the governor was doing this so that in I960, a presidential election year. Brown "wants to be in a commanding position in the Democratic party at that time." Labor: Up for a critical test in an Assembly committee was the governor's bill regulating union business affairs. The measure is SB209 by Sen. Stephen P. Teale ID-West Point) and is backed by the governor who admits it is fac ing both labor and employer opposition. STOCKTON (UPI-FSMNS) Livestock: Cattle salable 25. Market not cs tablished.

Child Support Suspended LOS ANGELES (AP) Actress Madge Meredith's ex husband won't have to pay child support until his daughter returns from Europe and is available for visits. Dr. Charles Corley testified Wednesday that Miss Meredith took the couple's child, Christina. 4. to Europe in defiance of a court order not to remove her from Cali fornia. He asked for custody and discontinuance of $35 weekly sup port -payments. A court commissioner granted discontinuance of the payments pending the child's return. But a hearing on the custody matter was deterred until Miss Meredith is within the court's jurisdiction. A spokesman for Miss Meredith s-iid the actress reportedly is doing a movie in Rome. She and Corley were married in 1953 and divorced last year. The actress and three men were convicted in 1947 of the kidnap assault of her former business manager. Nick Gianaclis, and his bodyguard. She was sentenced to 5 years to life but was released after two years in prison by then Gov. Earl Warren, who commuted her sentence "in the interest of justice.

Sheep Rock Park Asked By J. O. McKINNEY MOUNT SHASTA Clyde Parker, Siskiyou county native, and for mer general manager of the famed Parker Ranch, is advocating 1 state park for Sheep Rock. He be lieves that with bighorn sheep again to be seen there, it would prove a strong tourist attraction Ihe Parker Ranch was a wild life refuge for nearly a half cen tury. People drove miles to see the deer there despite it was in remote area. Sheep Rock is located on U.S. Highway 97 and within sight of Highway 99. The two highways are connected with a paved cutoff that skirts the base of Sheep Rock. Siskiyou County Historical Society is Deing asked to support the park plan. Some conservationists condemn the plan, not because, of opposi tion to tne park, but because they believe it would be impractical without a caretaker appointed to prevent the supply of animals not becoming too numerous for avail able food. The last bighorn sheep in the area died during the spring of 1890. It survived the winter, but during spring months became so weakened that it fell from a ledge upon wnicn 11 was seeking food, and was killed on rocks below.
