Rand study labels some inmates as professional criminals
A Rand Corporation study based on interviews with 49 California armed robbery inmates argues that a distinct group of professional criminals exists.

Santa Barbara may exceed Gin Chow water limit at Cachuma
Santa Barbara diversions above the 4200 acre feet annual limit called by the Gin Chow Judgment could lower the Cachuma Project safe yield. Engineer Stetson reported annual withdrawals near 10,000 af, reducing safe yield to about 26,400 af during critical periods, with Bureau figures for 1968 at 27,500 af. District officials sent letters to the Bureau urging action to preserve the 4,200 af limit, potential legal steps noted but avoided.
