Brown trip cost 1500 including ice cream cone
Governor Brown defended a four day trip to Japan saying total travel costs including meals and hotels were about 1500 dollars and that he paid his own way since the trip was arranged quickly not as an official state visit. He cited a potential Japanese car plant in California as key to pushing cleaner car standards and defended U S automakers against obstruction in Congress.

More than 150 disabled demonstrators kept a sit in at a federal office in San Francisco into its eighth day as nearly a dozen continued a week long fast. Lydia Larson, in a wheelchair, said she felt great after six days without food. The group demanded HEW regulations to enforce a 1978 anti discrimination law and calmed the crowds with bread and cakes before a hearing Friday. Security warned protesters to leave before return.

Milk price hike faces state hearing amid criticism
Consumer Union attorney Luana Martilla told a state hearing Tuesday that new dairy rate hikes would raise half gallon prices by 3 to 4 cents, adding to an existing 2 cent increase in December that she says costs consumers about 20 million dollars yearly. Dairy spokesmen cited higher feed and water costs, while opponents filed suit in San Francisco Superior Court challenging the December rise for alleged legal noncompliance. The department will spend weeks reviewing testimony before a decision on the increase. Marin County conservationists and dairy farm advocates testified, with Maria Corn Farm Bureau support and opposition framed around dairy industry needs and consumer impact.
