California food-in-bars plan rejected by Assembly panel
The Assembly Governmental Organization Committee rejected a bill to ease enforcement of California’s food-in-bars law by requiring four hours of meal service daily. Desmond, the author, said the measure could guide the AB C until repeal votes. Weinberger questioned constitutionality, warning it might attempt to repeal part of the constitution. Separately in Houston, Hedy Lamarr reported a bag of jewelry worth about 50 thousand dollars missing from her River Oaks home after she left it in a drawer. The items included a 10.25 carat diamond ring with 32 pearl diamonds, a 40-baguette and 80-round diamond bracelet and an 11-carat diamond watch bracelet. $11,000 of the jewels were uninsured.
