MMATOK SAM ERVtN , ^ nxy ^ WASHINGTON - - With so many problems which press for attention, Congress is not prone to give serious consideration to any measure estabiishing the iega! machinery to deai with a , Constitutions) Convention untii it must. That time, however, seems near at hand. On May 1, Iowa became the 33rd State to request a convention to amend the Constitution. With several of I [the remaining 17 State ' fcgisiatures stiii in session, and DeiawarP's iegisiature scheduled to convene in ^ October, there is a possibiiity ^'that the 34th State may caii for such a convention soon. Congress wiii then be faced with the necessity of carrying out the provisions of the .^Constitution in respect to a , pever - before used amendment process. Recognizing that the need for the establishment of orderly procedures relating to such a cat! might be needed, I introduced a biii in the 90th Congress to provide ruies governing the caii and operation of such a national convention. No action was taken on my measure at that session. Again, on January 24th of this year, 1 introduced legislation to provide the rules to govern such a convention On June 12th, my proposai, S. 623, was approved by the Senate Subcommittee on Separation of Powers. It is now awaiting action by the Senate Judiciary Committee. The need for such legislation is pressing. In the event another legislature requests Congress to call such a convention, there is no existing machinery with which to deal with the questions that wouid From The Coach's Resk MtLT BARTON : * Time works wonders! He first few sessions of footbai! work-outs were most depressing ones to me, but the -pew week has reaiiy brought 'new iife to our team. The time end drudgery of nothing but . Conditioning driiis is now being ;' ppiced up with Mocking and '^ackiing. Our kids have reaiiy been waiting for this. We are fast on the way to getting in shape; we may not win a game, but we wii! be in shape! ' In our hitting driiis the moment of truth has arrived for some of our young piayers. . Sureiy they must fee) iike the * matador facing a wiid buii. In . * this case, we want to find out ^ what spirit, strength, and determination these kids have concealed under their uniforms and pads. The answer to the question I have heard many -. times was revealed on Tuesday * afternoon. . .yes, Dee Dee - Wood can be very destructive ; * when he gets mad on the footbaii fieid. He couid weii be AH conference materia! if he keeps up the good work. He jias worked down to a mere ,220 pounds and is seeking ^mnpinymeat in our da&naive '-line. * Since the defensive teams always get off to a faster -. beginning, we have been ' - putting most of our emphasis *Ipn our offense. Our defense wili not reaembie the Red Defense of iast year since we do not have the speed or taii, rangy boys this year. Gosh, how we wiii miss Wayne Parton, Hughie Jones, Raymond Cochran, and Jerry Jenkins. . .everyone of them, tremendous defensive iinemen. We are beissed with big, heavy, mean feiiows for the defensive iine this year. I hope to use a two-piatoon system so as many of our boys as possibie can get into the games. As jt qiways, some kids wHi be going both ways. Leonard Parton is iean and mean this season nd enjoys occasions! contact. He is the tightest of the STOP team at 165 pounds. His . company may include Jim -Bigwitch at 220 pounds, Dee Dee Wood at 220, and Mike Ciapsaddie at 205. The defensive secondary is not definite, but one thing is, it wiii be fast. Three veteran iettermen have been very impressive as ! iinebackers. BiM Adams is a machine of devastation. Aiva Crowe asks no quarter and Biii Adams is a machine of devastation. Aiva Crowe asks no quarter and gives none. Vemie Lee is quick and sure. Assistant coach Dick Ensiey is the best anyone couid ask for. He is doing a reai good job and thinks "Winning Footbaii." Some of our "oid hands" drop by occasionaiiy to heip with specific positions. The ninth graders have found that the days of giory are far behind them and now face the transition of being the smaii fid* in a big pond. There is good stock on this unit, too. John Myers at quarterback is bound to be a big iad if he grows to match those feet! Mike Tisdaie (178 pounds) and Joe Crisp (204 pounds) are good anchors on any iine. Hank Hardin is coming on strong at guard. Todd Napier and Mark Richmond are making strong bids for starting positions in the backfieid. We stiii need more kids to come out for the squad, in a schoqf of this size we shouid hatn at boys out for footbalLWe are oniy haif that number! Our strength depends on a building program that keeps feeding good stock to the varsity. What has happened to the 10th graders? Surety there are mote than nine whose parents wiii eit them piay. A weak class iike this can oniy speil disaster two years from now. Deed Tfanden Vision Development Co., inc. to Stanley R. Kiueh and Bba, his wife, 305 Azaiea Lane, Melbourne, Florida.

Moreover, there are many fears about such a convention, and the atrivat of a 34th resoiution caihng upon Congress to issue a convention cat! coutd bring on a' protonged debate to deiay or ignore such a cat). This, in my jbdgment, couid weaken the doctrine of 'separation of powers" by thwarting the mandate of the Constitution which permits two methods of amending the Constitution. These coequai methods are by amendments adopted by two-thirds of the members of Congress, and ratified by three-fourths of the States; and by apptication of the iegisiatures of two-thirds of the States to Congress which shai! caii a convention for proposing amendments and the ratification thereof by three-fourths of the States. The impetus for the petitions by the States who now urge a constitution! convention appears to be the decisions of the Supreme Court rendered in the reapportion ment cases and the subsequent controversy which these decisions prompted. Congress has thus far taken no action which assures that an amendment wi!! be submitted to the States to overrute these reapportionment decisions, aithough the Senate came ciose to achieving the necessary two-thirds vote on the 1965 and 1966 resoiutions offered on this subject. Now, 33 State iegisiatures have used the aiternative method to caii for amendment of the Constitution. The measure which I have introduced in no way seeks to resoive the substantive aspects of apportionment of state iegisiatures. Instead, it deais with convention petitions, their effective period, their transmittai to Congress, their rescission, the Congressionai caii, the seiection of delegates, the seiection of the presiding officer, the manner of voting, the proposat of amendments, and the termination of such a body.

Patsy Contributes S500.00 To State Of FranHin The current fund raising drive of the State of Frankiin Heaith Councii, Inc. was sparked Monday by the announcement of a $500.00 contribution by United Cerebrai Paisy of North Carolina. This contribution in support of areawide comprehensive heaith pianning within the seven Southwestern North Caroiina counties of Cherokee, Ciay, Graham an orderiy procedure so that if Congress is faced with a convention caii, it may deai with it by known procedures. Tre enactment of such a biii, which has received carefui committee study, wouid eiiminate much of the procedural darkeness which now surrounds any convention caii. Haywood, Jackson, Macon and Swam was announced by Mr Eric W. Ritzen, Executive Director of the Foundation. The State of Frankiir Heaith Counci), Inc. is seeking )oca! money to match a federa! grant to continue planning which has been underway fo] the iast two years. Previou; iocai support iargeiy has com( from in-kind contributions o< space and services by Western Caroiina University and persona! contribution oi professiona! services by Dr. C. D. Kiiiian, Executive Director of the Council. However, this year the Office of Heaith Services and Mentai Heaith Administration in Washington, D. C. and Chariottesviiie, Virginia is requiring that at ieast haif of the iocai money which must come from within North Caroiina be in cash rather than in kind. Last year simitar support was given by Biue Croas-Biue Shieid of North Carotins, and simitar support from that organization is expected this year.
