Legislature Ends Session SACRAMENTO UP--The Legislature ended its 1953 session eariy today, a little overtime and scrapping almost to the last second. Its last big job was to approve a bulky bill spelling out how the record 1953-54 school fund of $367,000,000 is to be split among California's school districts. Judges Salaries Weary after nearly six months of lawmaking, the senate wrangled over judges' salaries in the feverish closing hours and ran a few minutes beyond the midnight deadline for adjournment. Robert McKay of the California Teachers' association said that the school bill provides the best equalization formula in the state's history. Meet Next March The legislature is not scheduled to meet again until next March.

Before adjourning late last night, the lawmakers: 1. Voted to place before the voters in the 1954 general election a proposition that would give assemblymen four-year terms instead of their present two and senators six years instead of four and limit future governors to two four-year terms. 2. Completed action on the special appropriation bills that total about $10,000,000. The biggest one is $5,400,000 for support of child care centers.

3. Passed two bills channeling up to $2,500,000 of state highway funds into grade separations and bells and gates at railroad crossings. 4. Saw the death of a bill passed by both houses to create a department of water resources. Warren said he would veto the measure.
