Fate Of Water Program Rests With South Solons By JAMES C. ANDERSON SACRAMENTO (UPII - The fate ol Gov. Edmund G. Brown's water program rested with south cm assemblymen today while the Senate turned its attention to the budget. Starting the final three weeks of the 1959 session, the three most important issues water, the bud get and taxes still remain to bo settled. The Senate finally passed Brown's water hill Friday 25-U after northern legislators succeed ed in getting more than 40 amend ments inserted in the measure by Sen. Hugh M. Burns (D-Frcsnoi. In the Assembly, the fate of the measure is not known but one tip-off might he the statement of Sen. John A. Murdy (R-Santa Anal southern delegation leader, whn aaid the bill in its present form is not satisfactory fo the south. Murdy said at least three amendments needed to so into the bill amendments which if adopt ed in the predominantly southern Assembly might create a new cri sta in the Senate Murdy said Burns' bill, intro duced at the governor'! request should contain provisions that all water contracts be made puhlic before the voters pass upon the proposed $1,750,000,000 bond issue to finance the statewide water program. He also said specific sums of money should be allocated to northern projects and that the hill should contain a guarantee-that neither south nor north water rights are disturbed in any way by enactment ol the Dill. The Senate Finance Committee. In a Memorial Day meeting, fi nally adopted a state budget cal ling for a record-breaking expen diture of $2,224,532,562 for the fis cal year starting July 1. Most notable deletion by the Senate committee was removing funds for three new campuses for me university ol California. Finance also held the line on a 5 per cent pay increase for state employes nnd faculty members ol the university and slate colloocs And it turned down attempts to! cut more than 150.000 from the budget to finance operation of a Fair Employment Practices Com mission. As for the governor's $2ri2..V).- 000 tax program, which he says is necessary to oflset a deficit in the budget, both houses have ap proved his proposal for a $71,400. OOO increase in personal income taxes. Passage of another bill to levy a tax of three cents a package on cigarettes seems assumed, but the rest of the administration' lax program has yet to be approved. One tax bill, calling for a tax on the extraction of oil and gas, was xiiicn last week by the As sembly Revenue and Taxation Committee but Assembly lead ers promised that before the ses sion ends June 19 they will try lo revive the hill. Senate Group Approves Huge Budget SACRAMENTO 'CPU - The hefty two billion dollar state bud get bill neared the Senate today shorn of funds to buy sites for three new University of California campuses. In a Memorial Day meeting, the Senate Finance Committee ap proved a record $2,224,532,562 operating program. It was about Sl.5oo.ouo larger than the bill passed by the Assembly last week Senators backed Gov. Edmund G. Brown in refusing to approve $1,650,000 to acquire sites for three new university campuses at La Jolla. the Orange - Los Angeles County area and the Santa Clara Santa Cruz area. Funds for the new campusei had received the approval of.th? Assembly. Therefore, the appro priation is likely to be thrashed out in free conference between the two houses in the last week.. of the session. Sen. Hugh M. Burns 'DFresno'. president pro tempore of the Sen ate, led the attack on the thre; new campuses. Burns said educators had been planning for more than 20 years that the university should be de voted to graduate study, the state colleges to upper division studies, and the junior colleges to .lower division work. On the tote fo approve the uni versity appropriation. Burns' was the only audible opposition vote. committee Chairman Sen James J. Mc Bride ID-Ventura ruled that the appropriation had lost. After a second vote. McBride repeated his ruling and announced there were three votes in opposi lion. Budget chief Robert Harkness oeaking for the Brown adminis ation, said the $1,650,000 was "a oot in the door." He said the ludget requests for the new camp ises would reach 140 million dov ars in iw., and 361 million doi ars in 1970. Administration officials indicat li earlier they wanted to hold all new college and university tanin- uses in abeyance until I960, when the University Board of Regents and the Board of Education pre sent their joint "master plan" fo. new campuses. The budget adopted by the Sen ate committee had fewer changes than usual in the Assembly bill These discrepancies remain to be worked out in conference: A $1,108,035 appropriation fo- the slate Disaster Olfice, whicn was knocked out of existence com pletely by the Assembly but re- lainea Dy me senate. An Assembly slash of 106 pro posed new highway patrolmen, compared to a Senate cut of only 53 new olliccrs. A $668.0110 diflerence in the cost of administering the gover nor's new cigarette tax. The Sen ate version involves a stamp on every pack and -would be more expensive. A $1,097,526 discrepancy in the mental hygiene budget. The Sen ate removed 334 proposed posts lor psychiatric technicians and so cial workers. The Assembly struck out oniy a lew social workers.

BARTHOLOMEW I PI President EAST BERLIN UPI - The Herter seven-point plan for an in terim solution of the Berlin prob lem was pronounced unaccept able and designed to draw the western powers into military con flict" by East German Commun ist leader Walter L'lbricht today. I cannot believe the American people wish to be drawn into a military adventure over West Ber lin." l'lbricht said in an interview with United Press International The interview took place on D- day. a few hours after expiration of the ultimatum given the west em powers by Soviet Premier Ni ita Khrushchev to withdraw mil nary forces from West Berlin The deadline passed without inci dent. The Herter statement is repetition of the extreme position taken by the western powers at the outset ot the Geneva confer ence." l'lbricht. first secretary of the East German Communist par ty and lirst deputy premier, as serted.

"Adenauer 'West German De fense Minister Franz Josef i Strauss and 'West Berlin Mayor iVitlyi Brandt now propose to, commence a war by the conquest of the capital of the German Democratic Republic." l'lbricht. flanked by Gerhart Kisler. condemned "former gen rrals of the Nazi army" for in fluencing Bonn, the West German capital, in developing an uncom promising position. He expressed sharp regret that American Sec retary of State Christian Herter had allegedly endorsed this ap proach at Geneva Tuesday.

Gerhart Eisler wanted in America for passport fraud, was seated at Ulbricht's left opposite this writer. Ten Questions had been submit- ted in advance to the head Com munist ok East Germany, and the typewritten answers were handed the writer in both Ger man and English at the start of the interview The attack on the new Herter proposal on Berlin was not 'in cluded in the original questions and answers. It resulted from a prompting of L'lbricht by Eisler during general conversation. The Kisler prompting brought highly emphatic reaction from III bricht. "The Potsdam agreement ' pro vided for the presence in Ger many of the troops of the western power as a temporary measure only." L'lbricht said. "Even (Har ry S. Truman, who was then President, did not imagine that in 1959 American troops would not only still be In Germany, and with the proposal that they now be advanced to East Berlin as Strauss and of France is that the well. "The demand of Adenauer, numerical strength of the Amen can troops now be increased. Why should the U S A increase its troops 14 years after the con clusion of a war, and at a point b.ixw kilometers trom home? "Now it appears that the American Generals, under the heading of reuniting Berlin, pro pose to occupy even Karlshorst The Bonn plan for Berlin now seems unfortunately to have the support of Secretary Herter. This raises grave doubts that the West ern powers really wish to reach an understanding at Geneva. "The people of the U.S.A. un derstand as well as we do that work must he accomplished at Geneva u there is to be a sum mit conference, and that at the summit conference compromise conclusions must be reached per milting the peaceful coexistence ot the two niflcrent social systems. "The East Berlin government whose foreign minister is active ly participating in the Geneva ne gotiations, desires conclusion of a rapprochement which will facili tate conclusion of German unifi cation at the summit." l'lbricht expressed particular resentment at the alleged pres ence in West Germany of atomic weapons. j "Our reply to the aggressive proposals of the Bonn government is not similarly militant. We do not propose to invade Bonn." he said.

Informed sources said 15 or 16 congressmen had been arrested, including some from Stroe&sner's own Colorado party. The administration said only three legislators were being held. called South America's last re maining dictator. Stroessner has been under pres sure from many quarters, includ ing the United States which has supplied Paraguay with 21 million dollars in aid. The government chief had prom ised to relax other restrictions. Diplomatic sources said they had been told he would issue decrees providing for freedom of the press and amnesty for political exiles in the near future.

The body of Horace Bell. 72. Montgomery Negro, was found near Dallas County public lake Friday by a highway patrolman. The search for the man was in tensified alter three Montgomery Negro leaders asked Gov. John Patterson to investigate "acts ol violence" at the lake against four members of their race.
