Judge Defends Leniency in Robbery Sentences
Superior Judge Ralph K. Pierson defended his department’s sentencing approach amid Chief Martin’s claim that leniency fuels robberies. The court handed probation with fines or jail terms up to a year for unarmed robbery, while eight defendants received state prison terms for armed robbery. One youth was sent to the California Youth Authority, and several received favorable consideration based on probation reports and records.

Half Million Japanese Pleasure Girls Idlled
Tokyo up Yoshiwara, once the bright center of the Far East, fell silent as Japan's new anti prostitution law took effect. Prostitution bans displaced an estimated 300000 to 500000 workers, with about 150000 in police regulated districts. The neon districts closed, other venues opened, yet business slowed to a trickle and investigators could not determine where the workers had gone.

Assembly Approves Budget After Fiscal Session Chaos
The California Assembly adopted a $1,976,416,083 budget in a one day special session after a failed 30 day regular session. Gov Knight revived water development funding and disputed plans, proposing over 17 million for Feather River sites, 37 million for relocations, and additional sums for aqueducts. The budget avoids tax increases, taps rainy day reserves, and transfers 7.19 million from the investment fund, while avoiding salary hikes for state workers and educators. Assemblyman Bruce Allen opposes portions of the bill, criticizing mental hygiene provisions and department training cuts.
