Legators End Record Session; No Stands Taken Honolulu - (UPD Annual National Legislative conference ended Friday after the longest, rowdiest plenary session in its history during which delegates refused to take a stand on three states rights proposed amendments to the U. S. Constitution.

The 18th i dependent determination" as to the merit of the proposed amendments aimed at weak ening the directional power of the Congress over the states and overriding deci sions of the U. S. Supreme Court. Liberal forces of the con ference led by Hawaii, Alas ka, Ohio, Oregon and Cali fornia tried sepcratcly for more than four hours to force resolutions against the pro posed amendments to the floor for a vote. But despite nine roll call votes and the most tortuous parliamentary maneuvering, the states rightests and north ern conservatives each time sent liberals down to over whelming defeat. The plenary session at times broke down into name calling, insult exchanging be havior reminiscent of neigh borhood children. By Tradition Portland, Ore., was select ed as the conference site for 1965 and New Jersey Assonv blyman Frederick H. Hauser was elected first vice-presi dent for 1964. The current f i r s t v 1 c e president - Mar cus Halbrook, director of th Arkansas legislative confer ence - moves into the presi dency by tradition. So bitter were the feelings shown at the conference on the civil rights and states rights issues that several dele gations members mumbled threats of boycotting future national conferences of the body. Among those were Ha waii, Alaska and Michigan. Kansas House Speaker Har old H. Chase voted consistent ly to keep the conference from voting on the contro versial issues but he deplored the heated disagreement they generated. At one point he said "It may he that we have come to Hawaii and that we never will come to another" conference because of the fighting and disagreement that threatened to wreck the proceedings.
