S. Senator Harry P. Cain, of Washington state. Parker succeeds Thomas J. Fox of Santa Monica; Assembly Votes To Tax Crime SACRAMENTO 02—The State Assembly voted solid backing today to Governor Warren's proposals to tax crime and without a dissent. It marked two-house approval of the legislation. The Senate previously okayed similar bills of its own. But lively debate that touched on television accompanied 63 to 9 passage of the crime commission subpoena measure to the Senate. Assemblyman Jonathan J. Hollbaugh (R-Huntington Park), demanded that the bill exempt appearance of witnesses before new arrest or television cameras against their will. His amendment was turned down, however, 44 to 28. He didn't like it, he said, when witnesses were compelled to submit to television screening of their Kefauver, committee testimony. (Senator Kefauver allowed only the hands to be televised when New York witnesses balked at being shown in millions of homes.) "We don't permit plebiscits here," Hollbaugh said, referring to the Assembly chamber. "Would you like to be exposed here with your heels on your desks, smoking cigars and dictating to beautiful secretaries?" He was critical of the crime commission to begin with.
