Many new senators from urban Southern California and Northern California said they hadn't made any requests for more offices and staff yet but might in the future.

Dymally, ID-Los Angeles, said he wants an additional district office in Watts, which he represents. Dymally said the cost would probably be only about $500 a month for a secretary. Dymally said he wasn't seeking a committee chairmanship, a goal some freshmen are campaigning for. "We're juggling names around to do the best job we can," said Senate Minority Leader John F. McCarthy, R-San Rafael, a Rules Committee member.

The only committee decision announced so far was the appointment of Sen. Jack Schrade, a Southern California Republican, to the powerful Rules Committee. Schrade, from San Diego, replaced a Northern Californian on the committee. Burns, D-Fresno, said after last November's election that new senators who had previously served in the Assembly would have a chance to get committee chairmanships. There are 23 standing committees and only 18 returning senators in the 40-member house.

Freshman Sen. Alfred E. Al-quist, D-San Jose, said he asked for the Senate Natural Resources Committee chairmanship "with the Local Government Committee as a second choice." Another senator reported that new members Alfred H. Song, D-Monterey Park, and Lou Cu-sanovich, R-Van Nuys, both wanted chairmanship of the Senate Labor Committee. Alquist, Song and Cusanovich were assemblymen last year.
