Assembly Hikes Vet Loan Limit To Aid California Vets
The California Assembly approved a bill 52 to 13 to raise the Cal Vet home loan limit from 5000 to 20000 dollars and extend eligibility to Vietnam veterans.

Senate Approves Constitution Revision in California
Sacramento reports the Senate cleared a second phase of constitutional revision 27 to 11, with 20 Democrats and seven Republicans voting. The measure keeps Governor Reagan’s merit plan for selecting judges alive by extending the amendment submission deadline to July 22, allowing two weeks of urging in the Assembly. The most contested change would make the Superintendent of Public Instruction elective, with a three fourths vote in each house to alter the method.

State funds shift cost cut by bill
Sacramento The Assembly Ways and Means Committee approved AB 936 to bar the state from paying itself interest on interfund borrowings. The measure would repeal a rule requiring interest on loans from funds like the highway construction fund to the general fund. Proponents say taxes and fees should benefit the state as a whole, described as tax relief. The revision reduces constitutional language and aims to present final changes in 1970.

Secret new cell for Sirhan at County Men's Central Jail
Sirhan was moved to a secret high security cell in the county jail with no public notice. The transfer was kept quiet to keep him near court proceedings and a larger security area allows limited two way telephonic contact with visitors through a small window. His attorney, Russell E. Parsons, only learned of the move after the fact.
