Campaign Closeups Controller's Job Sought By Seven
In Sacramento seven men seek the controller post to succeed Alan Cranston, vowing to abolish the inheritance tax appraiser system. Treasurer Bert A. Betts runs unopposed for a third term as Democratic nominee, while Ivy Baker Priest, as former U S treasurer, seeks the Republican nomination unopposed. GOP hopefuls include Houston J. Flournoy and five others, with the office facing a salary rise from 21050 to 25000. The race centers on fiscal policy, board duties, and ethical questions tied to appraisers who assess estates.
