Fight Narcotics Year urged by California commission
Governor Brown supports a 22 point narcotics control program calling 1961 Fight Narcotics Year. The interim study urges harsher penalties for first and second narcotics offenses, stricter parole terms, looser police evidence rules, more informers protection, and use of random searches. It advocates addict-peddler quarantine, White House conference, federal aid, border screening, and prevention. Education and vigilance form the hopeful path beyond bans.

Lightweight, affordable machines address past objections about cost and storage, though Los Angeles County is exempt due to its electronic tallying capability. The move aims to prevent future national embarrassment from slow counts.
