Secrecy Bill OKd by Brown
SACRAMENTO UP I reports Gov Edmund G Brown signed a bill adding penalties to the anti secrecy law. Assemblyman John Busterud R San Francisco proposed jail time up to six months and a 600 fine for local officials who knowingly take action at secret meetings. The 1953 original law had no penalties for secret sessions except personnel and national defense. Earlier this year Brown vetoed a clamp to void actions from secret meetings. A separate notice notes a minor earthquake shook wide areas of southwestern Japan with no damage reported.

Savory criticized authorities and cited a Sanger Justice Court clerk case involving Juanita.
