Water Plan Could End California Sectional Water War

Editorial urges support for Gov Brown's compromise SB 1106 Burns measure to authorize a 1.76 billion bond issue in November 1960 plus an aqueduct to the South. It promises contracts secured by water revenues and constitutional protections to avoid bond impairment, aiming to break years of deadlock over Feather River project funding and southern access. Strong entities include Governor Brown, California Senate, Feather River Project, and bond attorneys.

Capital Capers Ike Aides Put Anderson As Presidential Hope

Eisenhower confidants say Secretary of the Treasury Bob Anderson is his favored potential successor, with Nixon and Rockefeller in the GOP mix. Anderson, a former Navy secretary and longtime adviser, is cited as best qualified though he is a Texan and recent Republican convert. Truman snubs Ike while Anderson is eyed for defense leadership, and Symington supporters cite Ed Pauley’s talks as possible Democratic signals. A separate note: a “tin cup file” holds funding requests from towns and states, and some House chairs show steel hide on seats as a visual reminder of posteriors marked with ranch brands.
