Both Sides Biding Time
On Water, Budget Slate
By JAMES C. 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.

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. Miss Meredith steadfast
ly maintained her innocence.

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.

Vote Speedup
Bill Approved
SACRAMENTO (UPI) Califor-
nians will know soon after the
polls close at the next general el- ,
ection just who they have chosen .
for statewide offices if the Assem
bly agrees with its election committee.
The committee Wednesday ap
proved a bill by Sen. James Co-.
bey (D-Merced) which was de
signed to speed up the state's
painfully slow vote count.
Cobey's bill would require elec
tion officials to begin counting bal
lots as soon as the polls close and
would not permit them to stop un
til the last vote was tallied.
The lawmaker explained that
passage of his proposal would pro
vide a final election score by
Thursday or Friday after the
Tuesday election. A trend should
be established by the next morn
ing. .
The bill was sent to the lower
House for final consideration. If
the Assembly passes the measure
it will he returned to the Senate
for approval of amendments which
were added to it since it was
passed by the upper house.
Cobey said the bill was designed
to reduce the "cliff hanging" time
put in by candidates involved in
close races. Under present law, he
said, some elections remained un
decided for as long as two wees.
Under the terms of the bill, all
votes must be counted at the pre
cinct. A summary of those results
would then be sent to the county
clerk who Would compile a tun
ning total for the county.
