campaign. But the credentials
committee accused her of letting
her name he used by "another po
litical pally."
Maybank Jumped to his feet to
remind the national committee
that he was elected hv the South
Carolina state executive commit
tee on condition that Mrs. Agnew
be kept on as rammitteewoman.
The retiring chairman, Senator
McGrath, commented that the
South Carolina committee could
not direct the national committee
and could merely suggest a line
of action to it.
McGrath didn't even Invite
states' righters to the meeting.
But he said they could argue
their cases before the credential
committee today.
The only chance they have for
forgiving. If party officials have
their way, Is to promise never
again to bolt the party and to
give loyal support In the future
to the parly's regular candidates.

Reapportionment Plan
Told By Rep. French
(Csntinued From Page One)
present method of apportionment
H unfair in that some counties,
especially those more sparsely
settled, are unequally repre
sented. He cited his own area of five
counties served by a single sen
ator. Also, Klamath, Lake, Crook,
Deschutes and Jefferson likewise
have but one, whereas Josephine
county, w hich had but 9.000 popu
lation when its district wai set
up, has a senator.
Better Representation
Counties, originally organised
on geographical or political bases,
still exist in that manner, each
having its own problems and
needs, said French. He believes
a senator for each county could
more accurately evaluate its
needs. A senator would thus be
representing his county, while the
representatives, elected on a popu
lation basis, would represente the
people.
Such a plan, he said, might not
work In Texas, which has 254
counties, the smallest with 255
population, but Oregon would not
have too many senators.
The general trend in govern
ment Is for cities and counties to
delegate more and more author
ity to the state, and the state to
the federal government. His plan,
he believes, would center more
authority in local governing bod
ies, which can keep a closer fin
ger on spending.
The plan is simple, he main
tains. In that it is patterned alter
that of Congress. He believes it
the fairest system he knows, as
each county would be fairly repre
sented by a senator and the
leople by representatives, based
on population.
This reapportionment problem,
he predicts, will he one of the
most Important in the 1951 legis
lature, overshadowing even the
important highway and schooi
support programs.
