Ronald Reagan today announced that he had\ngranted a 20-day stay of execution in the case of Daniel A. Roberts,\n41, who had been scheduled to be executed on April 18, 1967, for\nthe murder of a San Francisco landlady.\nAt the clemency hearing held on April 11, Roberts' attorney,\nMrs. Nancy Rossi of Oakland, requested that the Governor's Office\nconduct a detailed investigation of the case, and administer\ncertain tests to Roberts.\nGovernor Reagan said that in view of the request of Roberts'\nattorney, and the fact that further information was submitted to\nhis office as late as last Thursday, he is granting a temporary\nstay so that there will be no question that all the facts have\nbeen thoroughly reviewed, before making a final decision on\nclemency.\nThis action of the Governor stays the execution for a period\nending May 8, 1967. California law provides that the execution\nwill take place on the following day, May 9, unless there is\nfurther judicial or clemency action.\n# # #\nLN/198\nHEALTH AND WELFARE AGENCY\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\nSacramento, California\nContact: Spencer Williams\nApril 18, 1967\nPRESS\nHealth and Welfare Administrator, Spencer Williams, said\ntoday that for the year 1967-68 the state will finance at 100 percent\nof cost care provided by cities and counties to patients during the\nfirst 90 days after release from the state hospitals for the mentally\nill who otherwise would have used state-operated aftercare facilities\nin Fresno, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Long Beach, San Diego and\nSacramento.\nAfter the first 90 days, state funds will be available to\ncounties at the present Short-Doyle reimbursement rate of 75 percent\nof cost. It is estimated that about 2,000 patients released from\nstate mental hospitals will need the aftercare program during the\nyear.\nThe plan to have the counties provide aftercare services\nhas been part of the long-range plan of the Department of Mental\nHygiene. It has had the approval of the county mental health program\ndirectors. Provision of aftercare services by the local mental health\nprograms is medically sound and advantageous to the patient. Treatment\nas close to the patient's home, as possible, is in the best interest\nof the patient.\nThe 100 percent financing will be limited to the 1967-68\nfiscal year, during which time the counties can make plans for\nplacing the programs under the Short-Doyle Act. If the counties\ncannot assume responsibility during 1967-68, the state will continue\nto operate the aftercare facilities for part or all of the year to\ngive the counties time to establish the programs. The financing\nrequired for aftercare services is in addition to the $5,000,000\nShort-Doyle augmentation now in the budget.\n- MORE -\nWilliams also said that the state has agreed to finance\nthe geriatric screening unit at San Francisco for one more year.\nThe screening unit has been operated jointly by San Francisco and\nthe Department of Mental Hygiene as a pilot project for the past\nthree years to determine if intersive screening would preclude\nunnecessary admissions to state mental hospitals. It has proven\nsuccessful during the study period, reducing commitment from\nSan Francisco from about 400 each year to less than 25. It is\neligible for Short-Doyle reimbursement when operated by the county.\nWilliams also said that it is the level of service in the\nstate hospitals for the mentally ill on January 1, 1967, which will\nbe maintained during fiscal year 1967-68. If the level of care is\nnot maintained, he said, the Governor has authorized the Department\nof Mental Hygiene to not reduce the treatment staffs at the\nhospitals and to make an immediate request for budget augmentation\nto maintain the level of care the patients were receiving on\nJanuary 1, 1967.\nThe Department of Mental Hygiene's projections on the\nnumber of patients it expects to have in the hospitals was based on\nthe assumption that the treatment staff available would not be\ndecreased below the January 1, 1967 level. If the number of patients\nis higher than was projected, then the number of staff required will\nhave to be increased in order to maintain the level of care.\n####\n-2-\nAPR PRESS 18 1 1967\n1967 INAUGURAL COMMITTEE\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\nContact: AI HIII\n(415) 982-9036\nA wide variety of colorful decorations used during the 1967\nInauguration are now for sale to the general public, the Inaugural\nCommittee announced today.\nMost of the items are wrought Iron lanterns, used at the\nGovernor's Inaugural Ball on January 5, at the County Fairgrounds\nin Sacramento.\nAlso on sale are fifty 4-foot wooden blue-and-gold \"Seals\nof the Governor,\" suitable for wall mounting, used to decorate\nthe community during Inaugural Week.

Thus it will become my duty to provide for an orderly\nphase out of the program so that the providers of services and\nthe program's beneficiaries can make alternate arrangements.\n\"This will mean cutting out or reducing services of doctors,\ndruggists, hospitals, nursing homes, and others. If authorization to\ncontinue is not granted immediately, I will be obliged to take the\nfollowing steps:\n-- No payments will be made by the state for hospital ser-\nvices on new admissions after May 5 except in county\nhospitals.\n-- No payments for dentistry, optometry, podiatry or other\nlike services will be made after May 12.\n-- No medical services for other than emergency life saving\ncare will be paid after May 19.\n\"It is hoped that it will not be necessary to disturb the\nmore than 39,000 patients now maintained in nursing homes under this\nprogram. The fiscal picture will be carefully watched so that these\ncutbacks will have a minimum adverse effect. It is not a question\nof money since the Governor previously authorized supplemental\nfinancing to cover the program. Furthermore, the Governor has\nalready said he believes AB 583 is the answer for now and urges\npassage by the Senate.\n-1-\n\"It is ridiculous to believe that the Legislature\nwould cause this disruption of the program,\" Williams concluded,\n\"since it has within its power the authority to avoid such useless\ndisruption of patient care.\n\"We all are concerned about the rising costs of medical\nservices and are committed to protecting the taxpayers from abuses\nand unnecessary expenditures that may develop in this program.\nHowever, cutting off funds in this abrupt manner would not be an\nintelligent approach to the solution of these problems.\"\n#####\n-2-\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nSacramento, California\nPRESS*\nContact: Lyn Nofziger\n445-4571\n4.28.67\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\nSacramento--Gov.
