We ran into a Presbytprian pastoral conference here. There are two more con ventions slated, one a sportsmen's convention in hte October, and that is it until the inn opens again next May 1, completely re decorated. At present meals are not served other than to the conven tion folk, in the dining room.

( Colum bia University's American Assem bly, !erling a four-day appraisal of state government problems Sun dayj urged a method of compul sory reapportionment of state leg islatures after each federal cen sus.; - Reapportionment means increas ing or decreasing a district's rep resentation in the Legislature to conform with new shifts in population The assembly, in a 1,500-word summary of its findings, recom mended also revamping of anti quated state constitutions, increas ing! interest in state elections r-y holding them in non-presiden-ial election years, and halting of a trend toward earmarking specific taxes for specific purposes. Fifty-five business, agricultural, educational and government ex ! perts attended the assembly, which I was founded .in 1950 by President Eisenhower when he was president of Columbia University. It was held at Arden House here. . Conflict Cited In closed panel sessions, the as sembly discussed conflict between city legislators and often out-of- balance rural strength. It was noted that some states apportioned legislative representa tion by square mile measure raih er than by population. The majority of the assembly felt that "earmarking of specific taxes for specific purposes eats away the power of the purse." "In some states, more than three fourths of the state expenditures are! thus beyond effective control by the Legislature and the gov ernor," the summary statement said. The assembly felt, that evory state which has not already done I so should take steps to secure a modernized, snort ana Da sic state constitution. Convention Right The members further recom mended that citizens be given the right to call constitutional conven tions at periodic intervals. : Other suggestions included: 1. Annual meetings of the Legis lature in all states, without limit on the length or scope of delibera tions. 2. Adequate compensation for members of the Legislature. 3. Improved services for bill drafting and research. ; 4. More public hearings, ade quately announced in advance, on contested legislative measures. Panel leaders for this eighth res sion of the assembly were John A. Perkini, president of the Univer sity of Delaware; Dr.' Robert W. French, vice president of Tulane University, and Carl B. Spaeth, dean of Stanford University law school.
