MIPMOWWWWWIIPPRIMINPFINFNEFHIPINEMO Page A4 THE SACRAMENTO BEE Wednesday August 5 1970 Unruh's Campaign Officials Charge 'Innuendo Plain Mistruths' The July 29 editorial accused Unruh among other things of failing his duties in the legislature and of allowing his own legislative program to "languish" in committee solutions to the "welfare mess" in Sacramento County and elsewhere in California "We have consistently said much about welfare" he said "We have said the welfare system is a failure We have urged crackdowns by Reagan on fraud in the Medi-Cal program Meanwhile Reagan has not cracked down "True we haven't spoken about the Sacramento Union's series on welfare several weeks ago Jess probably hasn't even seen it" if are Punty ently are" the lure OWIIS I the lean not 31(en sev roba dismissed the charge as "silly" "There was no formal name change attempted nor was one ever desired It was kind of like Edmund Brown calling himself 'Pat'" Also charged with "shortchanging" Northern California in his campaign appearances VarshawskY said Unruh spent "well over 50 per cent of his time in Northern California" VarshawskY further denied Union charges that Unruh has failed to provide Varshawsky said Unruh "was not on vacation when the budget was voted upon" as charged in the Sunday editorial "Several weeks prior to the budget vote he was indeed on vacation but at the time of the vote he was in Israel on official business at the formal request of the Israeli government" The Sunday editorial also accused Unruh of changing his first name from Jesse to Jess "only through publicity channels not legal channels" Varshawsky cans when Unruh presented it in committee" Partisan Opposition Varshawsky claims all four bills plus three to increase unemployment insurance were killed by partisan opposition The editorial also criticized Unruh for unnecessary travel during periods of legislative activity a theme repeated in a Sunday editorial which said Unruh was "tall on promises but short on 'performance'" sembly bills backed by Unruh: AB 272 an educational reform bill killed in the Senate Education Committee AB 393 to halt oil drilling in the Santa Barbara Channel killed on the Assembly floor "with all no votes cast by Republicans" AB 766 to deal with economic recessions killed in the Assembly Ways and Means Committee and AB 2050 "the toughest antipollution bill introduced in years" killed "by Republi publican opposition and not because of his failure to support it in the legislature Said Varshawsky: "The 1970 Unruh legislative program has failed not because as you suggest Unruh has not pursued the measures but because Republicans in the legislature and in the Reagan administration have been more concerned with playing partisan politics than in solving the problems of California" Varshawsky cited four As Campaign officials for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jess Unruh have accused the Sacramento Union of "innuendo and plain mistruths" in recent editorials critical of Unruh Dave Varshawsky Northern California Coordinator for Unruh's campaign said a letter mailed to the Union in response to a July 29 editorial has not been published He made its contents available "in order to get the issue before the people" Programs Fate In his July 30 letter to the Union which as of this morning had not been published Varshawsky said Unruh's

said Reagan He said he does not -consider Martin's appointment to have been in violation of the law and added: "If they're meaning that we must turn only to the ranks of social workers for someone of this kind then heaven help us in trying to solve the problem" Parallel Case The governor noted similar objections had been made in 1967 to his appointment of Martin's predecessor John Montgomery who had been a Ventura County supervisor and a Reagan campaign worker prior to being named But welfare worker organizations had smoother relations with Montgomery than with Martin The Reagan administration has intensified efforts to slash welfare spending this year embroiling Martin in much more By Martin Smith A charge State Social Welfare Director Robert Martin Jacks the legal qualifications for his $30000-a-year post has been rejected by Gov Ronald Reagan At his Capitol press conference yesterday afternoon the governor said he wants the position filled by someone "who will also have consideration for taxpayers and the rest of the citizens" in the face of increasing welfare caseloads Officials of the Social Workers Union this week called for the ouster of Martin because he fails to satisfy statutory requirements calling for the director to be qualified "wholly on the basis of training demonstrated ability experience and leadership in organized welfare administration" Prior Duties Martin was chief counsel and executive officer of the State Alcoholic Beverage Cont5o1 Appeals Board before being named to his present post last December Before that he served in the Rare

Photo Politics By Rodda Two Republican state legislators have called for "an immediate impartial study" of problems at the racially tense Soledad State Prison in Monterey County where two guards and four prisoners have been slain this year Gov Ronald Reagan however at his press conference yesterday afternoon indicates he thinks the investigation can be handled by the State Corrections Board "I don't think that any outside investigation is called for at this time" said the governor Such Early Action Making the request for the impartial investigation were Sen Donald Grunsky and Assemblyman Robert Wood in whose district the prison is located They asked the investigation be made "before the truth is obliterated by further irresponsible charges and countercharges" They spoke in reaction to what they termed a "tragically one-sided" report by a group of Negro state lawmakers who charged there is evidence of cruel and inhumane treatment of convicts at the prison The report on behalf of other Negro lawmakers was released Sunday by Sen Mervyn Dymally DLos Angeles County and Assemblyman Willie Brown DSan Francisco One-Sided Aspect Wood and Grunsky said the report shows "little concern for the problems of prison personnel" The governor also was critical of the BrownDymally report "I don't think that it contributed anything to solving this particUlar problem" said Reagan "It sounds strange I'm sure to some of you to come from me but I don't think that inflammatory type statements contribute" Reagan: Not Making Deals For Stalled Tax Shift Bill LA Assemblyman's Affack Collier Is Hit On Fuel Tax Stand Solon Hails 2 Consumer Aid Measures Two consumer bills passed overwhelmingly by the Assembly were hailed by their author Assemblyman James A Hayes R-Los Angeles County as "an expression of clear determination by the legislature to rectify valid consumer problems" One measure AB 2366 By Richard Rodda Gov Ronald Reagan has put down emphatically any implication that he is involved in behind the scenes activity for his stalled $1 billion tax shift program "I have not bargained and I don't make deals" said the governor at a news conference late yesterday "Maybe if I did we would have a tax program" The key bill in the Reagan tax package AB 1001 is bottled up in the Senate as the result of the opposition of one Republican and 12 Democratic senators the I of not do what Foran intended them to do and therefore he still is not promising to hold a hearing The time element in a hearing on Foran's ACA 38 is important If it is not passed soon it may not get on the Nov

higher income brackets more than it does those of lower income Last week Assemblyman William Bagley RMarin County disclosed he had done a favor for racing lobbyists who supported the governor's legislation He amended one of his bills to provide a $15 million revenue break for the racing industry Reagan was asked about this "Well he's (Bagley) going to have to speak for himself" said the governor "The only thing I can tell you about the racing situation is that it has no connection with tax reform what soever" you tile racing situa- tion is that it has no connee- tion with tax reform what- soever" "IN 11 he's "Well going to have to speak for him- self" said the governor "The only thing I can tell you about the racing situa tion is that it has no connec- tion with tax reform what-

a tax break for big landowners under the open space assessment provisions The governor was asked to comment on a charge by Assemblyman Jess Unruh of Los Angeles County Democratic nominee for governor that he really wanted the tax program defeated so he could make a campaign issue of it The governor said the program would be an issue regardless but he would much rather campaign with his legislation

Reason For Delay Collier said he has been delaying a hearing on Foran's proposed constitutional amendment until he could get a legislative counsel's opinion on amendments which Collier said were intended to "protect funds for state highways" Collier said he got the opinion Monday night and he hopes to set a hearing on the proposal next week However he said the opinion states the amendments do Sen Randolph Collier D-Siskiyou County chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee has come under strong attack by Assemblyman Pail Priolo R-Los Angeles County for his tactics as a committee chairman Priolo chairman of the Assembly Elections and Constitutional Amendments Committee angrily denounced as "repugnant" action by Sen Collier in what was reported to be his refusal to schedule a hearing on a gasoline tax diversion proposal by Assemblyman John Francis Foran D-San Francisco chairman of the Assembly Transportation Committee The Foran-proposed constitutional amendment was passed by the Assembly July 17 by a 54-15 margin and was referred to Collier's committee in the Senate Comes To Light Collier's refusal to set a hearing on the Foran constitutional amendments came to the attention of the Assembly Elections and Constitutional Amendments Committee during a hearing yesterday on a similar plan SCA 18 Mills "I find it repugnant when he (Collier) refuses to set a
