SATURDAY. AUGUST 9, 1997 LOS ANGELES TIMES BUDGET: Both Sides Claim Success Continued from A1 worked on budget -related bills in preparation for a vote Monday on the 1997-98 spending plan. The budget that has emerged this summer calls for spending about $67 billion on everything from parks and roads to prisons and schools. It contains an emergency reserve of less than $50 million. The budget had been projected to be $68 billion.

But it changed dramatically after the governor failed to win Democratic approval of his income tax cut and responded by dropping the fiscal equivalent of a "neutron bomb." extra ssentially, by money Wilson decreeing out took of that the all a legal judgment against California's government won by the state employees' pension fund be paid off in a lump sum this year rather than in payments strung out over 10 years, as Democrats wanted. "The real winners out there are those who believe in restraint, responsibility and maintaining priorities," Wilson said Friday. "This budget will again demonstrate that the state will live within its means." As a result of the decision to pay off the judgment, lawmakers were forced to make $1.6 billion in cuts to produce a balanced budget, as required by state law. However, the decision also means that there will be even more money to spend next year, and Wilson made it clear Friday that a tax cut will top his list of priorities. "In order to prevent spending simply because the money is there, the surest way to do that is with a tax cut," the governor said.

Wilson all but declared victory in this year's budget debate- -as have Democrats. A look at the document shows that what Senate President Pro Tem Bill Lockyer (D-Hayward) said at the start of the year -that the governor generally gets of what he wants in a budget -proved true. But both sides also share in the embarrassment that the agreement comes five weeks past the July 1 start of the fiscal year, the constitutional deadline for having a budget in place. In the end, Democrats and Republicans alike simply chose to declare success and end the prolonged deadlock. The budget battle, of course, is not over.

A two-thirds majority vote is necessary in the Senate and Assembly for final approval. Lockyer told senators that breakfast, lunch and dinner will be brought in Monday and said: "We're not getting out of this room until we conclude." The Senate is expected to approve the budget easily when it reconvenes Monday. The final budget debate probably will be more protracted in the Assembly, where the ability of Speaker Cruz Bustamante (D- Fresno) to control some Democrats remains in question. Some liberals are upset with the spending plan because they believe it doesn't allocate enough funding for social programs. Conversely, a handful of Republicans will probably vote against it because it contains money for state-funded abortions.

Echoing the governor, Assembly Republican Leader Curt Pringle of Garden Grove, who appeared with Wilson at his news conference, predicted that the budget will appeal to most Republicans because of its restraint, as reflected by the decision to pay off the legal judgment. Pringle and Wilson also pointed to the record $32-billion budget for public schools and an assurance that there will be no tuition i increases at California's public universities and colleges. The governor cited his decision to increase funding for his classsize reduction initiative begun last year, so schools can lower classes to 20 students per teacher in the first four grades. Wilson also secured money for a statewide test to assess students' progress, plus $50 million for more computers in high schools, and at least $50 million to add one and possibly two days of classroom instruction for most students. While Wilson all but proclaimed victory, Democrats also pointed to what they say are their successes.

"There is a lot in this budget that legislators can be damned proud of," said Senate Budget Committee Chairman Mike Thompson (D-St. Helena). "There's a lot our constituents can be proud of in this budget." Thompson cited major increases in state-funded child care to help people move off welfare, along with spending on education and various environmental programs. Democrats did convince the Republican governor to fund a new state social program, a package that includes providing food stamps to legal immigrant children and some elderly. However, the $40-million package represents less than a third of the amount in the initial proposal of Bustamante and other Democrats.

Wilson said he intends to use the line-item veto to delete any funding for illegal immigrants' prenatal care. Democrats have included $8 million in the budget for such care, a decrease from their $32-million proposal. Democrats' one clear victory was killing Wilson's $1-billion income tax cut, which he aimed at the middle class. In so doing, Democrats protected their highest priority, spending on public schools. A in sees the Wilson as his budget, outlined various he deflected what victories he a question about whether he intends to run for president in 2000 by talking about how much he is enjoying his current job.

"I regret that, in fact, term limits prohibit my seeking a third term," Wilson said. Noting that he supported the 1990 term limits initiative, the governor said: "It seemed like a good idea at the time." He says he continues to support term limits. But if they were not in place, he said, "I would be much tempted run I really would Past and current lawmakers are challenging legislative term limits in a lawsuit pending before the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. A separate lawsuit would have to be brought to challenge term limits for governor.

On another topic, Wilson said he would oppose any campaign to unseat some state Supreme Court justices who voted this week to overturn a state law requiring parental consent before underage girls can obtain an abortion. Antiabortion activists, including some lawmakers, have called for the justices' ouster in next year's confirmation election.

Stirling appeared in two dozen westerns and other feature films as well as the serials. Among her credits were "The San Antonio Kid," "The Sheriff of Sundown," "Vigilantes of Dodge City," "The Cherokee Flash," "The Sheriff of Cimarron," "Topeka Terror," "The Mysterious Mr. Valentine" and "The Invisible Informer." Her favorite work, she recently said in a newsletter to her fans, was "The Tiger Woman" serial. "Even though I didn't know what I was doing half the time," she said, "the stuntmen were always so helpful and full of fun, they made the long hours and grueling pace go by quickly." Stirling had small roles on television and acted at the Pasadena Playhouse during the 1950s and '60s, but generally aimed toward a new career in teaching.

After earning bachelor's and master's degrees from UCLA, she taught English and literature at Glendale College for 27 years. In 1990, she earned the Distinguished Faculty Award for outstanding teaching. In her retirement years, Stirling was active in the Group Repertory Theater in North Hollywood. Her husband of 44 years, writer and producer A. Sloan Nibley, died in 1990.

Stirling is survived by two sons, Christopher and Tim Nibley; her mother, Mary Weiss; and her sister, Alice Ogden. The family has asked that any memorial donations be made to the Linda Stirling Nibley Memorial Scholarship Fund at Glendale College, 1500 N. Verdugo Road, Glendale, CA 91208.
