Edmund G. political honeymoon over? For four busy months now the Democratic governor and the Democratic Legislature have been purring at each other. Everything has been lovey-dovey in the after-glow of the 1958 elections. It looks as though about to have their first serious spat. water program is under fire in the Senate.

And plainly the administration is not going to get its full 256 million dollar tax plan through without a fight. to this point, the Legislature has shown surprising cordiality toward first year program. Brimming with good will, the governor has developed and maintained excellent relations with most law makers of both parties. The next and final six weeks of the session will be critical for major objectives. They are: to get enough new revenue to balance the state budget and to start building the long-discussed water projects.

The governor has scored significant victories on FEPC, repeal of cross-filing, counsel, smog control and 65 mile per hour highway speed. He has taken lickings on a minimum wage and a Purity of Election act. The water dispute is enough to strain any honeymoon. Brown must convince at least 21 then the Assembly and California voters, in that accept his billion dollar bond issue for the biggest water undertaking ever conceived. Brown says he thinks he has the votes.

His opponents challenge this.

A. Cutmore of San Anselmo are among the hold-over members of the board of directors. Samuel A. Harkleroad, Novato building designer and contractor, believes he has a home answer to the sonic boom, earthquakes and the vicissitudes of the sun. The answer, he maintains, is found in the hyperbolic boloid leaf-like structure shaped with a compound bend and held in place with tensioned steel cables.

He has recently completed a house with just such a roof on the crest of a Novato hill near Alice avenue, overlooking Highway 101. the only one of its kind used for a residence on the West he says. The unusual shape and construction of the roof greatly reduce the effect that jet noises have on conventional houses, Harkleroad claims. And because it is entirely dependent on the cable suspension, if the walls were to fall, the roof would stay The roof, shaped like a flattened-out football, arches gently from a point 14 inches from the ground at one side of the house, blocking sunlight from all windows throughout the! summer months but allowing it Algae, primitive water-loving plants, have been found growing in ice and snow above the Arctic Circle and in hot springs where water reaches 200 degrees Fahrenheit. to enter during the winter.

The peculiarly lined roof, weighing 21 tons, is made of four layers of laminated wood, providing for insulation, Harkleroad reports. It is four inches thick, 3,000 square feet in area.

Families who have to live on fixed incomes suffer. Their dollars buy as much as before. People who salt away some of their pay in savings suffer. Men and women on salaries and wages also suffer. Sure, their pay may be rising.

But wages always rise at the same rate as prices. In the end, everyone pays the price of inflation. You may think prices are bad enough today. But how can we keep the cost of living from getting completely out of hand? There is a way we can stop further inflation As a first step, all of us can support every reasonable move to hold down government state and local. Pressing for more and more spending on new projects at a time when already committed to a huge defense budget can lead only two ways.

To higher taxes or to more and more inflation. We get away from paying, one way or the other. Many congressmen are already doing whatever they can to postpone new services, however desirable, until we can better afford them. You can assist by giving your representative the support he needs to make sure that the Government starts living within its income again. That will strike a mighty blow against inflation and the rising prices it produces.

It will strike a blow for a stronger America, too, because millions of people will be encouraged to add to their savings. Not only will a growing nest egg bring a comfortable feeling of independence and security. Those savings, as they are invested, will provide the capital needed for future growth. This is the surest way to the most prosperous years you or America have ever way that begins by all of uj insisting on having a stable dollar.
