Kennedy has called for passage of gun control measures to "take the cheap handguns from the violent killers, the criminals and the The Massachusetts Democrat, appearing at an Americans for Democratic Action dinner Saturday night, said all Americans are grateful President Reagan has recovered quickly from a chest wound suffered in a March 30 assassination attempt in Washington, D.C. In his prepared remarks for a Southern California ADA dinner at the Biltmore Hotel, Kennedy recalled the Los Angeles high points in the political lives of his late brothers, both victims of assassins. The first was the nomination of John F. Kennedy for President at the Democratic Convention here in 1960.

The senator said his bother Robert F. Kennedy "won the last great victory of his life here" in 1968 before he was shot and killed following a presidential primary victory speech at the Ambassador Hotel. No matter what lobbyist pressures are exerted "on the issue of handgun conrol, I will never give up and I will never give in." The senator who unsuccessfully sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 1980 also said it was no time for liberals to back down in the face of a conservative tide favoring the Republican president and his policies. "There are those who suggest that no matter what the merits of our case, we shoud not resist They suggest in fact that we try to ride it out ourselves, or at least wait for a better political time to speak," Kennedy said. "But now is not the time for silence, delay and ambiguity our time will come again.

"I pledge to stand against the dead end of the antigovernment reaction and for the belief that is at the heart of the being of our party and your state a belief in common progress and in opportunity for all." When the conservative tide runs out "we will be ready with new ideas, and they will not be retreads of the reactionary nostrums of this day," Kennedy declared. In particular he critized the Reagan administration policy "to put America on the side of repressive regimes and dictatorships in Latin America" and said that the Reagan 30 percent across the board tax cut proposal is "untargeted, inequitable and a caricature" of incentive tax policies. The idea for the tax cut proposal came from a book that "traces the decline of productivity to the entry of women into the work force," Kennedy said. is not serious economics. It is pop sociology.

Brown two choices for the state Supreme Court is Sam Williams, a Los Angeles attorney who isn't expected to accept or reject the nomination until Monday, the Los Angeles Times reported in its Sunday editions.

Williams also was expected to be chosen the first black president of the California State Bar later this month, the paper said. Brown is expected to announce on Wednesday his nominations to fill two vacancies on the seven-member court. According to the Times, a "source" reported that Williams, 48, did not plan to make his decision until Monday. Williams' wife and children would be reluctant to move to San Francisco, where the court is based, and it would be a financial sacrifice for Williams to leave his law partnership for the job, but the paper also was told it would be difficult for Williams, who was the youngest of six sons of a ghetto family, to turn down the job at the heart of the state's legal establishment.

Williams also received an award from the same group Saturday the Loren Miller award for "significant contributions to the legal profession." The governor has been pressured to fill the other vacancy with a conservative. That vacancy occurred when conservative William P. Clark resigned recently to become deputy secretary of state in the Reagan administration. Brown had hoped to name his two court choices at the same time, so as to balance them politically.
