MTHC SUN Jan. (r, )T7TT Gommittee to Draft 'Environmental Bill of Rights' Appointed St'-IL, ipl lill 1 DENNIS J. OPATRNY SACRAMENTO (UPI) Assembly Speaker Robert Monagan yesterday formed select committee to draft an "environmental bill of rights" but Democrats complained they should have been consulted beforehand. Monagan also suggested that a massive bond program may be needed to finance the cleanup of California's pollution. 11 think that is one of the problems that many of the people who talk about doing something in the environmental area disregard that one way or another improving or preserving the quality of our environment is going to cost in forming of a select committee.

Unruh, a candidate for governor, said it was an attempt "to set up a select committee to spreadeagle the field and, I suspect, weed out the legislation that went too far" to suit Reagan. Meanwhile, Unruh sought an "immediate floor vote on a resolution to put California on record as asking the federal government to stop all oil drilling in the Santa Barbara Channel. But Republicans rebuffed his effort on a party-line vote. The Rules Committee will hold a hearing on the measure next week. The lower house a few minutes later adopted a resolution by Assemblyman Peter Schabarum, R-Covina, calling on the state Air Resources Board to adopt toughest new auto emission standards in 1975.

The board meets Jan. 21. To assist the select committee Monagan appointed Robert L. Jones, chief of the wildlife management branch of the state Department of Fish and Game, as a consultant. Jones, 52, was a chief planner of the controversial periphral canal, which proposes to bypass water around the San Joaquin-Sacramento Delta for shipment south.

Monagan reiterated his opposition to the canal until certain "safeguards" are built to preserve the water quality of the delta, which is partly action," Monagan said, "to develop a set of environmental goals and the legislative policy to carry them out." He said the panel will report back by Feb. 27. But Assembly Democratic Caucus Chairman George Zenovich of Fresno objected to the speaker's failure to meet with the minority party before choosing the committee membership. "We're going to talk to him about putting together this select committee," he said. "We feel we shoul dbe consulted about it." Assembly Democratic Leader Jess Unruh echoed Zenovich's sentiments and hinted that he thought Gov.

Ronald Reagan had a hand included in his district. Senate Leader Howard Way endorsed Monagan's select committee appointment. But the Exeter Republican stopped short of embracing a possible bond issue to finance environment preservation. "I would have a great many more specifics if you're going to put a bond issue on the ballot," he said, like "what you're going to do with the money." Other committee members include Assemblymen John V. Briggs, R-Fullerton; John Foran, a Francisco; William Ketchum, R-Paso Robles; John Knox, Richmond; Carley V.

"If you're going to do a crash program, for example, you might have to look at it in terms of potential bond issue in this area," he said without citing a specific dollar amount. However, the Tracy Republican also said a "negative cost" may be incurred if oil drilling were halted on all California leases. "We would lose hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue that now goes to help meet cost of the state water plan or higher education," he said.

The select committee, with Assemblyman George Milias, R-Gilroy, as its chairman, will write a "specific plan of Rep.

Members of the board have complained the government is seeking to make an example of Pasadena and that if given until September 1971 they could institute an acceptable program of integration. LOS ANGELES (AP) -The former superintendent of Pasadena city schools testified yesterday that when he once tried to promote a plan to achieve racial balance in the schools the school board chairman told him to "keep my mouth shut."

The Justice Department entered the case in November 1968. Salmon said that after the plan was rescinded, the school board chairman at the time, Steve Salisian, told him to make no public statements in evaluations and found them "outstanding." Under cross examination, however, admitted that he did not know the teacher had failed a written test for the post. John Andrew Miller, an attorney for the board, repeatedly objected to the use of the word "desegregation" by attorneys for the Justice Department. "Because of cases from the South," he said, "this word carries the connotation there are two school systems in Pasadena and this is not the case." Miller also said he expects the trial to continue possibly six weeks. Only seven of a support of the plan.

Salmon said he did make one statement before a board meeting and Salisian told him he had made "a vast mistake." Under cross examination, Salmon was asked if there is racial balance in the Sacramento system he now heads. He replied "no," then Real sustained an objection to the line of questioning. Salmon said a Negro elementary school teacher who once applied for a job as vice principal was rejected be-cause of "questionable evaluations."

The Democratic "task force" called the news conference to reply to Gov. Ronald Reagan's state-of-the-state message, delivered Tuesday, and to offer its own solutions to problems confronting the state. In addition to conservation, the lawmakers discussed housing, crime, consumer protection, taxes and education.

Z'berg said Reagan should call upon his "great friend, Secretary Hickle, and have him stop (oil) drilling immediately" in the Santa Barbara Channel. Assembly Democratic Caucus Chairman George Zenovich suggested an association of savings and loans and banks could be formed to back home mortgages. It would be similar to the present federal home mortgage system. Assemblyman Robert W. Crown of Alameda said he would reproduce two measures which provide equipment for police officers and permit nonviolent criminals to be jailed in county jails rather than in the state prisons.

"The constant increase in penalties alone (as a deterrent to crime) is a terrible failure," said Crown. Unruh charged the current Office of Consumer Counsel is a "hollow voice."
