Brown denies McCarthy offer of chairmanship
In Sacramento Assembly Speaker Leo T. McCarthy says he offered Willie L. Brown Jr. a Health Committee chairmanship after Brown’s bid for speakership. Brown denies the offer and accuses McCarthy of trying to sandbag him while McCarthy insists the offer was made and later rejected. The dispute centers on Brown’s removal from Ways and Means and the creation of new committee leadership.
