SACRAMENTO, Cal, May IT. (OR)
California's legislature started the
18th week of its spring session to-
day facing action on a handful OF
controversial issues and 1000 or
more bills which meant little to the
average person.
Methods of settling labor dis
putes. liberalization of old age PEN
sions. a renewal of the fight on
tideland oil drilling, creation OF a
bureau to control veneral diseases,
changing the administration of un-
employment relief, legalization OF
dog racing, repeal of the three-day
gin marriage" law and scores of
appropriation bills were outstand-
ing among the measures remaining
to be considered.
With May % set as the adjourn
ment date, each house hoped TO
clean up its own bills this week.
Thereafter, the assembly will con-
slider only senate measures, and the
senate will act on assembly bills
during the customary last week
dash to end the session.
