Busing foes lose legislature test SACRAMENTO State Senate leaders handed antibusing forces a setback Tuesday when they referred two constitutional amendments dealing with busing to the Education Committee. The action followed a floor debate Monday in which two lawmakers implied the measures' author had used legislative sleight-of-hand to prevent one of the amendments from going to education. The upper house then voted to refer both amendments to the Rules Committee, which decided Tuesday they should be sent to education instead of Hie Judiciary nows b riot's Committee. Judiciary is regarded as the more conservative of the two panels and more likely than Education to approve one or both of the amendments, which were introduced by Sen. Alan Robbins, D-Van Nuys. Assembly 'death' vote Aug. 11 SACRAMENTO — The final vote on Gov. Edmund Brown Jr.'s veto of the death penalty will be taken Aug. 11 in the state Assembly, Ihe sponsors of the bill said Tu;^day. Assemblyman Alister McAHsler, D-San Jose, the Assembly sponsor of the bill, said he and other backers "weren't quite ready this Thursday" for the voie, but would lake it up in the Thursday floor session next week. PUC approves S.J. water hike SAN FRANCISCO — San Jose Water Works was granted authority Tuesday to add a 7.6 per cent surcharge to its water rates for six months to recover losses resulting from voluntary conservation programs. The increase approved by the California Public Utilities Commission will allow the utility to recover about $1.74 million or 50 per cent of the lost revenue. Burning banned in most of state SACRAMENTO California suspended burning permits from Santa Barbara County to the Oregon border Tuesday because of explosive Jire conditions, officials said. State Forestry Director Lewis Moran had lifted a ban on open fires in five Northern California counties at midnight Monday, citing a change in the weather. But he reimposed the ban almost immediately and extended it lo 49 counties. Spokesman Art Jaseau said Moran extended the ban Tuesday morning to all of the state north of Ventura and Los Angeles counties. S.. Barbara disaster status asked SACRAMENTO Gov. Edmund Brown Jr. asked President Carter Tuesday to declare Santa Barbara County a disaster area so victims of last week's fire can receive aid for temporary housing and debris removal. NAACP leader rips news media SACRAMENTO — The new head of the NAACP had a few kind words Tuesday for President Carter and some harsh criticism for the news media. In his second day on the job as the civil rights organization's executive secretary, Benjamin Hooks said Carter had a "mixed bag" record that included some accomplishments for blacks. But he accused the media of distorting both the image of blacks and a fellow civil rights leader's criticism of the Carter administration. "The totality of black life is simply not covered," he said, warning of licensing challenges to television and radio stations that the NAACP felt did not fairly portray blacks. Liquor license rules tightened SACRAMENTO — New rules aimed at making it tougher to get liquor licenses in high-crime areas were announced Tuesday by the state Alcoholic Beverage Control Department. The rules, which will take effect Aug. 31, affect areas with a 20 per cent greater number of crimes than the average crime rate reported by all districts. Under the rules, It will be harder.to get liquor licenses in these areas if many liquor stores already exist. Border Patro,l sets arrest mark SAN DIEGO - California's five U.S. Border Patrol stations, bolstered by 100 extra agents and new infra-red equipment, apprehended a record number of illegal aliens in July, agents said Tuesday. "The question is are more people entering or are we apprehending more who do enler?" said Asst. Chief Patrol Agent Bob McCord. McCord said the five 100-rnan stations netted 34,778 illegals crossing from Mexico in July, compared with .July 1976. He added that 39,000 were _ed in June, when the 100 extra men were first E-Trpm^.border stations along the Canadian frSm Texas, compared with about 30,000 the £>;£'•£• ... " Political panel to be sued [No Mendelsohn violation seen SACRAMENTO (AP) - A 1874 campaign committee (or Robert Mendelsohn, President Carter's pick to be assistant Interior secretary, will be sued by a state agency, officials said Tuesday. Mendelsohn, a 39-year- old San Francisco supervisor, pronounced liimself "completely vindicated" by the stale Fair Political Practices Commission's announce- ment of Its Intentions. The commission said In a cover statement to Its letter to U.S. Sen. Henry Jackson, D-Wash., that "there is no evidence to support charges against Robert Mendelsohn personally." But, the text of the letter added, "the commission does not intend to clear or accuse Mendelsohn" by the statements in the letter. Jackson is chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, which has been holding up its decision on Mendelsohn's appointment pending outcome of the commission's probe. The slate agency also said another suit would be filed in the next few sveeks and would name an unidentified contributor who the commission said failed to disclose a campaign contribution. Mendelsohn, a former legislative aide who in the lasl three years raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for unsuccessful bids for state controller and the state Senate, said: "When a candidate is running around the state, he has to rely on staff work on the appropriate reporting of contributions. I was running around the stale" during the 1974 .Democratic primary campaign for state controller, Mendelsohn said. He said he was certain the Mendelsohn Controller Committee would be cleared of any charges of negligence and expressed hope any of his ciirilriti'iilors named in .a suil would be cleared also. Since the investigation began over two months ago, Mendelsohn has vigorously denied all allegations that he was involved in any campaign contribution laundering. ^Dramatic" gas conservation in SoCal told NUMBERS GAME— David Merager of Pasadena keypunches a computer program during a summer exploration entitled "Computer Science" at the 5th annual Summer Youth Program at Michigan Technological University in Houghton, Mich. David, a seventh grader from Marshall -Fundamental School, joined approximately 1.250 students from 22 stales and Canada in the four-week technical, outdoor and artistic program. $400-million spending cut need told lawmakers SACRAMENTO (AP> - State legislators were told Tuesday they would have to make cuts in property tax relief and school finance proposals $400 million in five years, by one estimate. They were given only two other alternatives, both unattractive: reductions in state programs, mostly health and welfare benefits for the poor, or a lax increase. Legislative Analyst A. Alan Post and Gov. Edmund Brown Jr.'s finance director, Roy Bell, agreed that the propertylax-schoolfinance package would have to be cut or the state would run out of money within several years. Neither man said how much of a cut was needed. The amount of reduction would depend on how fast other state programs and revenues grow and on which versions of Ihe -bills are being discussed. But' according to figures provided by Post and Bell, a deficit would occur under a package backed by the Democratic governor by 1980-81, when it would be $225 million. Thai figure would increase lo 5404 million the next year and drop to $120 million the following year. Post indicated the likely deficit would be much higher, however. He said the figures quoted were based on an unrealistic assumption that overall state spending could be held lo 10 per cent growth a year. It has averaged 19 per cent over the last five years. Bell said Monday the administration was proposing to limit state spending to 8 per cent growth a year, a figure Post called even more unrealistic. Uut Bell agreed that the property tax- school finance package needed lo be cut. He didn't say how-much of a cut was needed, and said the areas of reduction were up to (he legislature, at least for the moment. Two conference committees,, each made up of three members from each house, are considering rival multibilllon- dollar proposals for homeowner-renter relief and school finance reform that could determine state spending patterns for years to come. Brown is backing a property tax proposal that would spend about $4.5 billion over five years and a school finance measure of about $5 billion. Rival measures on property taxes would spend more money, primarily for low-income persons, and include some tax reform plans. The competing school finance proposal would be less expensive by deleting some reform programs Brown favors. Post recommended rertucitig the proposed property tax relief, which would lake Ihe form of rebate checks mailed to homeowners and renters. 'I think property tax relief goes the wrong way," the legislature's "veteran fiscal adviser told reporters. "Instead, we should be taking programs off the property tax base and pay for them at the state level." ' Some of the properly tax relief money. Post said, should be shifted to the school finance bill to reduce funding inequities among school districts, as required by the slate Supreme Court's Serrano decision. But pressure for property tax relief is expected to preserve some form of direct stale subsidies lo homeowners in (he bill that Brown eventually signs. Southern California residential. Industrial and commncrcial energy users saved 16.6 billion cubic feet of' natural gas last year through energy conservation measures, it was announced Tuesday in Los Angeles. This fepresents enough gas to fuel 156,600 average homes in Los Angeles County for one year. The huge natural gas savings was announced by Pat Shea, vice president of consumer services for Southern California Gas Co.. during an energy conservation workshop for small business owners at the convention center. She called the public response to the need for energy conservation "dramatic." "Over the past few years, we have initiated and carried out an aggressive and successful voluntary conservation program that has resulted in a substantial reduction of gas usage," he said. The program, which is designed to motivate and help customers achieve maximum conservation of natural gas, is called the Ducks decline WASHINGTON (AP) - Substantially fewer ducks arc expected to migrate south this autumn, but goose populations remain fairly high, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said Tuesday. The population decline for ducts was attributed to widespread drought. "voluntary load reduction plan" and Is aimed.at all markpt segments residential, commercial and Industrial. . Shea said, however; that "while 'energy conservation is an Important step to take, it is only part of the answer.. "Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) represents the quickest way for California to get major new supplies and help protect our economic future." lAUVKFrnsKMEVD AWARD-WINNING CHEDDAR AT TRADER JOE'S Znmhro Valley Aged Cheddar Cheese beat all other cheddar cheese competitors at the 1976 Minnesota State 'Fair.

Catalinci Ave., Pasadena 440-1422 Brown plan would put tight lid on programs SACRAMENTO ^AP) - Gov. Edmund Brown Jr. has issued a tentative spending plan for the next six years that would clamp a tight lid on state programs.' Brown's finance directqr. Roy Bell, reported to the legislature this week that Ihe Democratic governor was suggesting average growth in current slate programs of 8 per cent a year in general fund spending from 1377-78 through 1982-83. That includes only $200 million additional each year for expanded or new programs. The plan would carry the state to the end of Brown's second four-year term, if he is re-elected next year. The proposed spending lid, Bell said, would leave the maximum amount available for property tax relief and school finance reform, which would not be included in Ihe 8 per cent figure. He said it would also allow a "prudent" surplus equal to 3 per cent of revenues each year. Krom 1970-71 through 1975-76, state general fund spending averaged more than a 19 per cent increase, a figure swelled hy a rise of nearly 30 per cent in 1973-74, when the state launched a major new property tax relief program. This year's overall spending increase is estimated at 14 per cent. Legislative Analyst A.'Alan Post criticized Brown's projections, and singled out Bell's estimate that (he stale could limit the growth in health and welfare spending lo less than 9 per cent a year. Spending has grown hy an average of 19 per cent in health and 15 per cent in welfare over the last five years, and Brown has no programs that can be expected lo slow that growth'. Post said. Bell conceded that a limit on health spending was dependent in part on legislative approval of a Brown-backed proposal for Ihe slate to regulate hospital rales. G.E.

DESCRIPTION

Page from the Pasadena Star News newspaper (Pasadena, CA) from August 3, 1977 that has an article about 14 year old murder victim from Hacienda Heights, Russel John Goudy Jr. (sometimes his name is spelled Russell John Goudy Jr. – I am not sure which one is correct). Russell was last seen in Huntington Beach on July 17, 1977. On July 19, 1977, he was found strangled and in the nude in a remote area near Glendora Mountain Road about 2.5 miles above Sierra Madre Avenue. Like many young men at the time, he was known to hitchhike. I believe his murder is still unsolved but the case is no longer open with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (it’s possible I could be wrong about this).

$400-million spendingcut need told lawmakers

S A C R A M E N T O ( A P > - S t a t elegislators were told Tuesday they wouldhave to make cuts in property tax reliefand school finance proposals — $400million in f ive years, by one estimate.

They were given only two othera l t e r n a t i v e s , both u n a t t r a c t i v e :reductions in state programs, mostlyhealth and welfare benefits for the poor,or a lax increase.

Legislative Analyst A. Alan Post andGov. Edmund Brown Jr. 's f inancedi rec tor , Roy Bell, agreed tha t thepropertylax-schoolfinance package wouldhave to be cut or the state would run out ofmoney within several years.

Neither man said how much of a cutwas needed. The amount of reductionwould depend on how fast other stateprograms and revenues grow and onwhich versions of Ihe -bills are beingdiscussed.

But' according to figures provided byPost and Bell, a deficit would occur undera package backed by the Democraticgovernor by 1980-81, when it would be $225million.

Thai figure would increase lo 5404million the next year and drop to $120million the following year.

Post indicated the likely deficit wouldbe much higher, however. He said thef i g u r e s quo ted were based on anunrealistic assumption that overall statespending could be held lo 10 per centgrowth a year. I t has averaged 19 per centover the last f ive years.

Bell said Monday the administrationwas proposing to limit state spending to 8per cent growth a year, a figure Postcalled even more unrealistic.

Uut Bell agreed that the property tax-

school finance package needed lo be cut.He didn't say how-much of a cut wasneeded, and said the areas of reductionwere up to (he legislature, at least for themoment.

Two conference committees,, eachmade up of three members from eachhouse, are considering rival multibilllon-dollar proposals for homeowner-renterrelief and school finance reform thatcould determine state spending patternsfor years to come.

Brown is backing a property taxproposal that would spend about $4.5billion over five years and a schoolfinance measure of about $5 billion.

Riva l measures on property taxeswould spend more money, primarily forlow-income persons, and include some taxreform plans. The competing schoolfinance proposal would be less expensiveby deleting some reform programs Brownfavors.

Post recommended rertucit ig theproposed property tax re l ie f , which wouldlake Ihe form of rebate checks mailed tohomeowners and renters.

'I think property tax relief goes thewrong way," the legislature's "veteranf isca l adviser told reporters. "Instead, weshould be t ak ing p rograms off theproperty tax base and pay for them at thestate level." '

Some of the properly tax relief money.Post said, should be shifted to the schoolfinance bill to reduce funding inequitiesamong school districts, as required by theslate Supreme Court's Serrano decision.

But pressure for property tax relief isexpected to preserve some form of directstale subsidies lo homeowners in (he billthat Brown eventually signs.

Brown plan would puttight lid on programs

SACRAMENTO ^ A P ) - Gov. EdmundBrown Jr. has issued a tentative spendingplan for the next six years that wouldclamp a tight lid on state programs.'

Brown's finance directqr. Roy Bell,reported to the legislature this week thatIhe Democratic governor was suggestingaverage growth in current slate programsof 8 per cent a year in general fundspending from 1377-78 through 1982-83.

That i nc ludes only $200 mi l l ionadditional each year for expanded or newprograms.

The plan would carry the state to theend of Brown's second four-year term, ifhe is re-elected next year.

The proposed spending lid, Bell said,would leave the max imum amountavailable for property tax relief andschool finance reform, which would not beincluded in Ihe 8 per cent figure. He said itwould also allow a "prudent" surplusequal to 3 per cent of revenues each year.

Krom 1970-71 through 1975-76, stategeneral fund spending averaged morethan a 19 per cent increase, a figureswelled hy a rise of nearly 30 per cent in1973-74, when the state launched a majornew property tax relief program.

This year's overall spending increase isestimated at 14 per cent.

Legislat ive Ana lys t A . ' A l a n Postcri t icized Brown's project ions, andsingled out Bell's estimate that (he stalecould l imi t the growth in health andwelfare spending lo less than 9 per cent ayear.

Spending has grown hy an average of 19per cent in health and 15 per cent inwelfare over the last five years, andBrown has no programs that can beexpected lo slow that growth'. Post said.

Bell conceded that a limit on healthspending was dependent in part onlegislative approval of a Brown-backedproposal for Ihe slate to regulate hospitalrales.
