About 1000 members of the government-sponsored Na. tional Youth.

Graham, Joined by majorkv floor leader Mel Carnahan and minority floor leader Ronald Mj Belt of Macon, first suggested bipartisan commission of legist lators to do the reapportioning. When Hearnes rejected that, the three then recommended that 1 commission of citizena ejected by the party caucuses of the House handle the job. Again tha Governor turned down the proposal. The controversy between Graham and Hearnes began early in the year after a United Stater district court ruled that the House must be reapportioned on a population basis. Hearnes, using the Senate re-districting plan as a guide, recommended a bipartisan commission for the House, but Graham, backed by an overwhelming majority of House members, turned this down and the House went ahead and reapportioned the districts itself.

When this plan was defeated by the voters Aug. 17, Hearnea renewed his recommendation for a bipartisan commission. but found him unavailable. "I have since found out that he is at home, but he has refused to accept my calls," he said. He later said that it was only hearsay that he believed Raiffie was at home.

The House Speaker said the purpose of the caucus would be to discuss all reapportionment proposals and determine where the majority of the Democratic members stood. "I don't intend to dictate to the caucus," he said. "I plan to give my opinion as to why the Governor's plan is bad, but every one will have a chance to speak." Graham said he still believed that a majority of the members were 'opposed to the Governor's reapportionment plan, which would have a oipartisan commission of citizens nominated by the two political parties and appointed by the Governor do the districting. Two Counterproposals Graham has made two counterproposals, but both have been rejected by (he Governor. Hearnes has said he would not consider a special session of the Legislature for either of the pro FROM PAGE ONE business or lack of sufficient notice.

Others said they would not attend because they did not believe it was a properly-called caucus and, anyway, they favored the Governor's proposal. Representative James E. Godfrey St. Louis, said he believed that Graham was "usurping the prerogative of the caucus chairman." "Raiffie is the duly elected caucus chairman and Graham should have asked him to call the caucus for tomorrow, If he wanted it held then," Godfrey said. Representative Richard J.

Rabbitt St. Louis, also took issue with Graham over his calling of a caucus. Rabbitt said he would not attend tomorrow's meeting because he did not feel that Graham had authority to call a caucus. "I intend to go to the caucus Sunday," Rabbitt said, "and work to try to get support for Gov. Hearnes's proposal.

I believe we will have the necessary support." Graham said yesterday that he had attempted to call Raiffie before sending the telegrams A UPI Tlpioto ft: Viewing Pictures of Louisiana Disaster President Lyndon B.

Soviet Cbrntnurist party leader Leonid I. Brezhnev called again for peace between India and Pakistan at a Kremlin reception today. In Washington, Secretary of State Dean Rusk said the Soviet attitude had been "helpful so far." Indian officials have admitted privately that it would be hard to resist economic pressure from the United States and Russia for a' cease-fire. Both India and Pakistan are highly dependent on U.S. aid, and many Indian industrial projects are financed by the Soviet Union.

The United States has contributed more than six billion dollars to help India's economic growth since 1951 and Russia has contributed more than a billion. Peking Causes Concern Russia and the United States have expressed concern over recent Communist Chinese statements backing Pakistan and accusing India of aggression against Pakistan. Rusk advised Peking to stay out of the conflict and continued: "I think there are those who feel that China is fishing in these troubled waters." In Moscow, a statement distributed by the news agency Tass appeared to criticize Red China for siding with Pakistan and for renewing threats of border hostilities with India. Meanwhile, a new Red Chinese statement accused Thant of acting as "Washington's political broker" in his peace efforts. Peking charged the United Nations with "doing all it can to help the Indian reactionaries."

The Pakistan radio said that 27 persons were killed and 47 injured in the Indian raids in the Peshawar and Kohat areas. India charged also that Pakistan was indiscriminately bombing civilian areas. The Indian radio said nine civilians were killed in a Pakistani air attack yesterday on Jammu, the winter capital of Kashmir. Flight Over Bombay Pakistan claimed its raiders destroyed six transport planes on the. runways at the Indian air base there.

In other air action, Indian officials said Pakistani planes flew over Bombay, India's biggest city, but were driven off by antiaircraft fire. India said that Pakistan was heavily concentrating troops along the East Pakistani border on the other side of the subcontinent from the major ground action. East Pakistani troops were causing "various provocations," India said, apparently to force India into attacking East Pakistan. Indian Defense Minister Y. B.

Chavan told Parliament last week that India would not attack East Pakistani unless provoked by Pakistan. FISCHER FAILS TO GAIN IN CHESS TOURNAMENT NEW YORK, Sept. 14 (UPI)-Bobby Fischer of the United States failed early today in his effort to gain in the over -all standings of the Capablanca Memorial Chess Tournament. He settled for a draw against Czechoslovakia's Ludek Pachman. Chess experts said that Pach-man's determination to play for the draw, which came after 40 moves, balked Fischer, who is playing in the tournament by teletype from New York.

He was denied permission by the Department of State to attend the tournament in Havana. Fischer's effort for outright victory in the thirteenth round pime were prompted by victories by the two leaders in the 21-round tournament. Yugoslavia's Borislav Ivkov and Russia's Vassily Smyslov won their matches. Ivkov now has 11 points and Smyslov 10.5 points. Fischer and Evfim Geller of Russia are tied for third with 8.5 points.

A busy, successful executive -out of town on a business trip -has plenty to think about. Important things. He certainly doesn't want to think about the car he rented. That's what Hertz is here-and there-for. To give you a Chevrolet or other fine car so right and ready you don't have to think about it.
