State agency seeks license fee hike and campus budget boost
The Department of Fish and Game plans to ask the legislature for higher hunting and fishing license fees beyond the current $3 cap, saying operations run at a loss and extra funds are needed. Separately the Department of Finance reviews a $2.5 million UC budget increase for staff expansion as enrollment climbs to an estimated 42,550 next year. Roadside rest projects begin in San Bernardino and Plumas counties with $450,000 appropriated, amid questions about political ties to Plumas. A five year plan aims to build 200 roadside units at 32.6 million, while the National Park Service notes about 54 million annual visitors.

Senate control hinges on Daniel vacancy and 1958 races
Analysts note a Daniel resignation by January 1957 could shift the Senate balance toward the GOP, potentially 45-48 seats if a Republican wins Texas. Even if Daniel remains, aging Democratic senators and GOP-leaning states threaten Democratic hold in 1958. Twenty one seats are up, with Democrats defending southern incumbents and Republicans seeking vulnerable states.
