' .' The document was prepared by . nine members of the 17 member Constitutional Revision Commission which voluntarily reactivated at the request of the Citizens Committee for Consti tutional Revision. The citizens plan to spear' head the initiative drive. Still unresolved is the legal question of whether an entire constitution can be initiated.

Amendmtnts Adopted At Wednesday's meeting, the commission adopted most of the amendments in the original draft which had been approved by the House during the 1963 legislative session. The measure did not get the necessary two-thirds vote in the 1963 legislative session. The measure did not get the necessary two-thirds vote in the Senate. which would have vested all the. executive power In the gov crnor. In the heated apportionment issue, the commission went along with the Senate plan which slightly favors the thinly populated areas of the s t a t e, and sets maximum house mem bership at 65, and top Senatt membership at 35. Dropped as unnecessary was a sentence inserted by the House which asserted "the I people have at all times a right! to alter, reform or abolish the The most significant changes i?v?rnmenl the manner they approved Wednesday dealt with cgon State Division of Mental Health, at a Rotary Club lunch con today in the Umpqua Hotel. Dr. Treleaven's topic was "The Cost of Mental Health Services." "If we hospitalized patients at the same rate as we did in 1953, we would now have 5,000 patients in Oregon hospitals in stead of the present 3,600 and the cost to the taxpayer would be three and a third million more dollars per year," he said The slate official is scheduled to make a second Roseburg talk tonight at 8 at Roseburg Wom an's Club, 747 SE Mosher. The topic will be "Revolutionary New Concepts in the Field of Mental Health. This meeting is sponsored by the Mentall Health Association of Douglas County. Trclcaven told Rotarians "providing adequate mental health services is basically an individual responsibility which must be carried out at the com munity level. The main job of a state mental health agency is to point out the problems and to assist local groups in devel oping adequate services." As administrator, Trelcavcn is responsible for all state men tal hospitals, the home for the retarded and the Alcohol Stud ies and Rehabilitation Center Ho also has some responsibility for the 17 mental health clinics throughout the state. Tonight's meeting at the Rose. I burg Woman's Club is pen to the public, lucre is no admis sion charge and free literature is available, associations offi clals said. At present, the president of the senate is first in line of succession to governor. Commissioners felt the sue cessor snouid be elected on a statewide basis, and that the governor should have the assist' ance of a constitutional officer who was elected as part of his team. The third constitutional officer! would be the controller. Solvit Problem Adoption of the "Alaska Sys tern" would solve the highly controversial plan originally proposed by the commission think proper. Mention of the death penalty was taken from the constitution, and left up to the legislature It is expected the final draft will be ready in December. The "legal test may come if the secretary of state refuses to accept the initiative filing, or if it is questioned later.
