Bill Would Require Annual Brake and Headlight Inspections
California Senate floor action backs a plan by Sen. H. R. Judah to require yearly brake and headlight inspections for about 5 million vehicles. The bill, approved by the transportation committee amid CSAA protests, would fund lamp and brake stations and issue certificates of proper maintenance. An inspection fee of $1.50 could cost drivers at least $7.5 million annually, with critics arguing safety gains are unclear. A second Judah measure would mandate fines for truck overloading.

Redistricting in California Sparks Gerrymander Alarm
In Washington on April 3, Representative Celler accused California Republicans of seeking to gain seven House seats through redistricting. He labeled California, Connecticut, and Ohio as hot spots and said hearings on the reapportionment bill would be held nationwide. California gains seven seats under the census, boosting its total from 23 to 30, as party control influences district lines. Celler warned other states may also practice gerrymandering and noted some districts look as ragged as a wash hanging on a windy day. He said hearings may extend beyond Washington to reveal abuses, with governors invited to testify in late April or early May.
