Sen. Dilworth Proposes Square Foot Rate for Architects' Fees SACRAMENTO (P) — Senator Nelson S. Dilworth (R-Hemet) offered a money-saving proposal today in the midst of legislative discussion of how much to vote for California schools. He suggested paying architects by square footage instead of their present flat eight per cent fee for planning new classrooms which school districts just can’t seem to build fast enough. “We’d be paying for what we want,” said Dilworth, chairman of the Senate Education committee. “Why pay for what we don’t want?” A spokesman for private architects who was in on a meeting with Dilworth expressed doubt that the change in payment for blueprints would help materially. He put it this way: “Elimination of the flat fee would work a hardship on small school districts or those in remote areas. We make money on the large school buildings in population centers, but we lose on the small jobs. Under the proposed change, there would be no incentive to take losing contracts. We think eight per cent is a fair fee.” Dilworth, however, replied that the fees themselves are not the main problem but what the architects put into the plans. For his part, there is no incentive to economize. In contrast, Warren’s request for a 55 million dollar appropriation for the veterans home-farm purchase fund is breezing through the legislature. Already passed by the Senate, it got quick approval by the Assembly ways and means committee late yesterday. The Assembly’s Democratic cause sided with Democratic Attorney General Edmund G. Brown in his request for nine additional narcotics officers largely for Fresno and San Diego. A Senate finance subcommittee has recommended against the item in the state budget. S1000 Bill Leads Suspect In Redfiction MILWAUKEE (US) — Andrew Robert Young, 40, an ex-convict was seized by FBI agents yesterday in connection with the theft of 1½ million dollars from the home of a Reno, Nev., millionaire 10 days ago. The agents seized the 40-year-old Young after tracing him, then said, through an attractive daisy haired mystery woman who tempted to pass a $1000 bill at Reno gambling table. After hours of questioning, during which Young denied taking part in the Feb. 28 burglary even being in Reno at the time, he was brought before U.S. Commissioner Floyd B. Jenkins. Preliminary hearing on a charge of state transportation of stolen property was adjourned for a week pending arrival of a warrener from Reno. Young was held in jail in $50,000 bond. U.S. Attorneys Timothy T. Crews in said Nevada authorities told him: Young was charged there were being involved in the burglary at the mansion of Laverne V. Ree field. Whether others were involved, federal authorities refused to say. The FBI men who arrested Young said they found five $10 bills on him but none of the cash, securities and jewels taken from the Reno millionaire home. Young, who said he was a construction worker, has lived within his office Pauline to a small area. the large school buildings in population centers, but we lose on the small jobs. Under the proposed change, there would be no incentive to take losing contracts. We think eight per cent is a fair fee." Dilworth, however, replied that the fees themselves are not the main problem but what the architects put into the plans. For his part, there is no incentive to economize when the architects pay depends on the size of the building. Aside from that, he said school construction costs are too high and too varied. They range anywhere from $7.24 per square foot for a recently built Santa Ana elementary school to $20 or more in other sections of the state. The legislature, in the second week of its budget session, is taking its time in shaping school fund measures. None has yet been introduced. Governor Warren, pointing to the continued swelling of California school enrollment, recommended: 1. A 12 million dollar increase in basic state aid for poor districts—those with needs beyond their property taxing ability. 2. A 40 million dollar appropriation to tide the state's school construction program over until the voters decide on a 200 million dollar bond issue in November. Funds from the 1949 bond issue of 250 million have been allocated. The governor, before leaving on another political trip to Wisconsin, held two conferences on the school support problem yesterday. One was with legislative leaders, the other with representatives of the California Teachers association. The CTA says the schools need 60 million dollars beyond the 290 million budgeted. The meetings brought no conclusive answers on how much the state should add to its school tax.

NEW YORK (P)—Anxious New Yorkers clamored today for the capture of young Arnold Schuster's killer, but baffled police provided no indication that the sensational case would soon be solved. The city continued to buzz with excited talk of the murder of Schuster, the 24-year-old pants salesman whose tip led police to the arrest of ace bank robber Willie (The Actor) Sutton. Schuster was shot down Saturday night on a sidewalk near his Brooklyn home. He had pointed out Sutton to police last Feb. 18. Police consulted several leading psychiatrists in the belief that a criminal psychopath might have killed Schuster and began a round-up of known psychopaths yesterday in Brooklyn. New York city police said today that authorities in Patterson, N.J., were checking a report that Tenuto was seen in a tavern there last night. Police here had no comment on another report that Tenuto was seen in San Francisco. The policemen's Benevolent association, a sort of independent police union, yesterday added $1000 to the $37,000 in rewards already proposed or offered by the city, newspapers, and a television station for the capture and conviction of Schuster's slayer.

"The water content of the snow pack is also well above average and has already reached 148 per cent of the content usually prevailing at the end of the winter season. Continued new storms will obviously increase these amounts." The Sierra snow pack, said the State Water Resources division, meanwhile, is the heaviest since 1911.
