The 1965 Legislatures resolution requests the U.S. Congress to call a convention for the purpose of amending the U.S. Constitution to allow for apportion-me- n of one house of a bicameral legislature on factors other than population. Judge Ritters opinion says the motions filed this year by Rep. Florence should have been con- sidered by the district judge acting alone and that the other two judges should not have participated in the consideration of the motions." Three judge panels, he contended are necessary only when injunctive restraint is being sought in relation to a state statute. Resolutions, he continued, do not come under the federal requirement calling for three judges.

The success of the countrys space program has bolstered the statements of many American civic and political leaders that a start of the housing problem can be made with passage of the National Forest Timber Supply Act of 1969. Mayor Walter Washington of Washington, D.C., testifying at a public hearing on the legislation cited the shortage of homes as the number one domestic problem of the nations capital." This is the principal goal of the legislation increase timber growth and yield on National Forest lands and to make more timber available to build additional homes and living units. Congress set a goal of 26 million new homes by 1978 an average of 2.6 million per year compared to the current record of about 1.5 million. This goal has been written in to the law of the land. A survey made by the American Forest Institute indicates the legislation has the strong endorsement of Gov. Dan Evans of Washington, Tom McCall of Oregon, Frank Farrar of South Dakota and Don Samuelson of Idaho. The legislatures of California and Oregon have gone on record endorsing it as a major step toward solving the crisis. The proposed act would provide funds for the management of the commercial areas of the National Forests and establish Congressional guidelines for the Miller, 78, 1329 E. 13th South, who died of natural causes August 5.

In introducing the legislation Chairman John McMillan of the Forests Subcommittee and chief sponsor of the legislation said, Rarely, in my 30 years in this distinguished body have I seen an agriculture bill which has aroused more fervent and dedicated support among Congressmen representing urban constituencies. Congress is genuinely concerned with fulfiling its obligation to the people it is designed to serve. Among these obligations is our statutory commitment to meet the need of every American for a decent place to live. The Sierra Club has voiced opposition to increasing the management and yield of national forests. However, a representative of the club told a Congressional committee that there can be a more intensive management on certain portions of the national forest land." Brock Evans, the clubs north west representative, added: There could be increases in the allowable cut on national forest lands if they are earned by increasing the management on this sort of land." It is this interest in better management of the national forests which is at the root of the legislation to provide additional funds v from the sale of commercial timber to permit the forest service to do a better job.
