Long Beach voters rejected water fluoridation and the Barton Flats purchase proposal in Tuesday’s municipal primary, while approving a $5,900,000 Navy Landing project and re electing all eight incumbent city councilmen. Fluoridation lost about 14 to 1 as only 28 percent of 156,216 eligible voters cast ballots. The Barton Flats measure was defeated nearly 4 to 1. Navy Landing carried with about 2 to 1. In council races, incumbents dominated, with two high vote getters advancing in each district toward a June runoff.

Assembly OKs Rise in Old Age and Blind Aid
SACRAMENTO AP The Assembly passed measures to boost old age pensions by 11 dollars and blind aid by 10 dollars monthly for about 170 000 pensioners. A separate bill would raise old age payments from 89 to 100 monthly for about 110 000 claimants, costing state and counties combined over 12 million yearly. The Senate later approved a broader increase, with both houses seeking a compromise on coverage. Other actions included 10 percent pay hikes for top state officials and tax, liquor and license provisions. A separate San Francisco report notes Merritt Foster was sentenced to a year in federal prison for failing to file a 1953 income tax return.
