(AP) Undertakers in Sonoma County, who used to take bodies off the coroner's hands free of charge, are now embroiled in a bidding war for the right to claim the corpses. And the bidding has taken sharp turns, up and down. In the last 10 months, the proposed fee for taking the bodies off the county's hands has gone from nothing to $125 per corpse and back to almost nothing as funeral homes jockey with the county government and each other. Eugene Samuelson, administrative officer for the sheriff's office, accused the funeral homes of banding together in "an attempt to rip the county off for a lot of bucks." j- I Controller Ken Cory threatens cutoff if budget deadline missed Just Completed Ull 12,000 Sq.

The Democratic controller's announcement I was praised by leaders of parties in the Legis-Jiature, where there are resigns of another budget Ken Cory "I totally subscribe to the no-budget, no-paycheck approach," said Assembly Speaker Leo McCarthy, D-San Francisco. "I just couldn't agree more with what Ken is suggesting," said Assembly Republican leader Carol allett of Atascadero.

"I believe it is the only way we are going to force the Legislature to get its job done on time." "Without a budget act, there is absolutely no authority for me to pay bills or incur obligations," Cory said. "It appears clear there is no authority for me, even at some later date, to start paying for goods and services provided between July 1 and passage of a budget." The threat by Cory is similar to warnings he and previous state controllers have made in past years when faced with budget deadlocks. Those threats have never been followed with action, although this time Cory's warning is sterner than usual. "If (employees) show up July 1, and there is not a budget, as far as the controller's office is concerned, they will be volunteers. They will not be paid," Cory said.

The California State Employees Association issued a statement saying it would fight to make sure "every state employee is paid for very minute worked." il Sentences suspended jjfor 'kid porn' ring LOS ANGELES (AP) Three members of a "kiddie porn" film distribution ring were given suspended prison sentences, probation and fines Monday for selling obscene films imported from Denmark and other European countries. im The defendants pleaded no contest last month to charges stemming from distribution of movies with titles such as "How to Lure a School Boy" and "Little II But Lewd." The three, Catherine Wilson, 40, her former hus-band, Lucius Wilson, 45, and David Cornwall, 34, were charged with one count each of conspiracy to dis- tribute obscene matter and distributing child pornography. They were given terms of two years in state prison which were suspended and three years probation. Superior Court Judge Gordon Ringer ordered Mrs. to pay a $3,750 fine and Wilson and Cornwall to Jpay $1,000 fines each.

A fourth defendant, Abraham Susskin, 72, had state's evidence in the case. He was placed on i-three years probation and fined $500. Deputy District Attorney Kirk Newkirk said he was disappointed that Mrs. Wilson, whom he described as I the ring's leader, was not sent to prison. "It was my feeling she should have gone to jail," he 'said.
