Capris on a Spree Two Women Pass $4,000 In Phony Checks In This Area A pair of women bad check artists have cashed an estimated $4,000 in fraudulent checks here and in Santa Ana, police report. The pair, about 40 to 45, use phony automobile driver's licenses to cash the checks which have ranged between $32 to $204. The checks are always made in the amount of a purchase, police reported. Investigators said the women have tinted hair and dress well. One has a limp which may be feigned. Police said the pair are apparently familiar with the names of store and bank account holders and have identification which when verified against bank accounts indicate they have checking accounts. The checks have been written on the First Western main branch in Santa Ana. The two women often wear expensive capri trousers and possibly drive a green Ford automobile.

Gov. Brown Seeks Newspaper Support In Budget Battle Gov. Edmund G. (Pat) Brown appealed to California newspapers today to inform the public of the "absolute need" for a balanced state budget. The governor's public appeal followed action by the Assembly to add $17 million to the budget proposed by the administration, largely in pay increases for governmental employees and beyond a five per cent increase already provided in the budget as submitted to the legislature. "Needless to say," Gov. Brown said, "if this pattern of action continues, the budget that has been so painfully balanced in the ATTENDING THE RIBBON CUTTING ceremony at Savings' new Anaheim office were (I. to r.) James F.

Re-apportionment Seekers Giving 'False Information' State Senator ohn A. Murdy, Jr., today charged that nationals for the plan to seek reapportionment of the Senate are creating false impressions of the issue in minds of many Orange Countians. Murdy said persons seeking voters' signatures to place the issue on the November ballot are, in many instances, using dishonest tactics in obtaining names to back the plan. "It has come to our attention," Murdy declared, "that many petitioners are covering the upper portion of their petition papers and are telling prospective signatories that census information is being sought." Persons carrying petition sheets receive 17.5 cents for each signature obtained for the committee seeking to place the issue on the ballot. A total of 420,000 qualified names must be obtained in order to qualify for the ballot. "MANY PETITIONERS are also telling half-truths regarding the reapportionment plan," the Orange County legislator claimed. "They are saying Southern California does not have representation in the Legislature. In truth, Los Angeles County, where this plan originated, has the highest proportion of Assemblymen in the state with 33." Senator Murdy said the entire reapportionment plan is untimely, was conceived in spite and, if placed on the ballot, undoubtedly will lead to the defeat of the state water program, which will be on the November ballot. The veteran legislator said the basic premise of the reapportionment plan is wrong. The plan failed to pass a tax bill after it received he said, after the failed to pass a tax bill from the Los Angeles Board of Visitors. There was a detainment that defended that failure. followed action by the Assembly to add $17 million to the budget proposed by the administration, largely in pay increases for governmental employees and beyond a five per cent increase already provided in the budget as submitted to the legislature. "Needless to say," Gov. Brown said, "if this pattern of action continues, the budget that has been so painfully balanced in the past year, and remained balanced in my recommendations, to the Legislature, will become unbalanced. "Our efforts to end deficit financing and to put the state back on some semblance of pay-as-you-go financing will be seriously endangered." "The publishers of this state have been out-spoken leaders in the fight for economy in government and pay-as-you-go financing, and your voice at this time would be an important one." Gov. Brown scored talk of a budget surplus as foolish. "How can there be any talk about a surplus when the state's operating budget automatically jumps $100 million a year just to meet population growth . . . and when revenues from the tax base simply don't rise to balance the increased expenditures?" Brown asked. "I have attempted to reason with the Legislature in a non-partisan fashion in this matter. I invite you to do the same." Brown said that if the Legislature doesn't keep the budget in balance he will take "drastic action." He said he will invoke his veto. EIM GAZETTE ANAHEIM, CALIF. April 7, 1960 UTTING ceremony at the opening of California Federal Reserve (l. to r.) James F. Clark, vice president, and Oliver M. of California Federal Savings; Anaheim Mayor A. J. Instant vice president of the firm and manager of the new graves, vice president of the Broadway Orange County Harbor Budget Bigger County Requests $1 Million Dollars Orange County Harbor District is seeking a budget of $994,944 for 1960. The proposed budget figure is about $117,000 more than last year. The additional funds include $200,000 for further dredging in Upper Newport Bay and $220,000 for acquisition of beach land in Dana Point and Newport Harbor. Preliminary budget proposals have approval of the County Harbor Commission. Harbor manager Kenneth Samperson said the budget also includes $95,010 for maintenance and operation, $435,450 for capital outlay and $225,660 for other expenditures. HE SAID THE district will have $413,410 of this on hand in general reserve funds carried over from UTTING ceremony at the opening of California Federal fire (I. to r.) James F.

North-south segments with representation at 20 Senators each. If accomplished, it would place overwhelming power over the Legislature in the hands of Los Angeles and other population centers, he declared. He added that it would also create a permanent source of conflict between the two areas on every issue which came before the Legislature. SENATOR MURDY SAID, "Many Southern Californians, in backing reapportionment at this time, do not realize what a disservice they are doing their area. We are in serious need of water for the southern part of the state and the only area it can come from is northern California. "Because of the plan, officials and citizens in the north are organizing to defeat both the reapportionment plan and the water program. It is their contention that if the south tries to take Senate representation from the north, they will fight to keep the south from obtaining northern water." Murdy said he approves of a thorough legislative study of the need for added representation for Southern California in the Senate. He said the plan as conceived in Los Angeles would do more harm than good at this time. The plan for reapportionment was conceived, he said, after the Senate failed to pass a tax bill favored by the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors. There was a determination following that deficit to achieve approval of the County Harbor Commission. Harbor manager Kenneth Sampson said the budget also includes $95,010 for maintenance and operation, $435,450 for capital outlay and $225,660 for other expenditures. HE SAID THE district will have $413,410 of this on hand in general reserve funds carried over from last year, expected revenues and in general reserve for bond retirements. The balances of $581,534 will have to come from the county's harbor district tax rate. Anaheim is part of the Orange County Harbor District. Community Builder Kenneth M.
