Ultimately, the bill will go to conference, which means that selected members of both houses will sit down and attempt a compromise, but it is certain reserve funds will be used to balance the budget in line with senate policy. PRAISES BUDGET. In presenting the budget for a vote in the upper house, Senator Ben Hulse of El Centro, the legislature's fiscal expert, praised the Governor for presenting a tight budget, but said his, Hulse's finance committee, had balanced the budget by using reserves and taking into consideration revised figures on anticipated revenues. repeals Atkins Laymen's Group Honors President WASHINGTON, May, 20.

If anything, It inflicted damage to the Government's case," On the matter of the trial court's refusal to permit Samish to attempt to impeach Biow's testimony through another witness, the court held.

"The whole evidence of the case is so overwhelming against Samish and particularly his own story so difficult of belief it does not appear that Saiish was hurt by a ruling which limited him to a showing of one more point. "The defendant, as well he may, admits the evidence is sufficient to sustain the verdict."

KNIGHT'S COMMENT. The death of the cigaret tax- bill was told to the Governor at a luncneon conference. Later, the Governor said: "I am convinced that luxury taxes, Including the tobacco tax, are the best means of raising funds to meet California's financial needs. "The people still want increased services, benefits, more schools and colleges, aged aid, and so forth. These humanitarian programs must eventually be curtailed unless we get the money to pay for them.

"Although the authors of the bills for taxes on cigarets have stated they cannot get the votes for passage of their measures, they are confident it will be possible to obtain enactment of the beer, whiskey and horse racing taxes. TAX ON TRACKS. "In this connection, I wish to emphasize that I am not satisfied with the action of the assembly committee last night approving only the tax on bettors.

"It may well be that the testimony of Samish as to the whys and hows of the Blow checks is untrue. Certainly it stretches human credence to believe he knew so little as he said he did about the proceeds Of any given political checks. "And it amazes one to hear that he would be able time after time to cash checks made to fictitious payees without a word to the person cashing the check as to the lack of indorsement. "On the whole, the court deems that the Samish 'alibi is almost a judicial admission from the witness stand that the checks, with the exception of the four, were income."
