Appointive State Schools Chief Proposed in Legislature
Senate challenger Sen George Miller Jr proposes a constitutional change to make the state superintendent of public instruction an appointive post. He argues electing the head of the Department of Education creates buck-passing and lacks direct accountability. Simp son, the incumbent, was unavailable for comment. Miller notes no state superintendent has been elected since 1926. News notes Burns's UC Board of Regents plan and Knight's water program faces mixed Southern California reception amid Feather River Project funding debates. Open legislative activity.
