Edwin Edwards, disgusted with the national political scene, says he will stay out of this years residential race and spend his campaign may cause America's two major political parties to fragment, disband and reassemble into a liberal party and a conservative party. If 'that's not the case and if, as most experts predict, the Democrats suffer a major set present method of distributing money from the property tax relief fund, will last 12 days. Last week Edwards named a 38-member committee to prepare legislation for the special session.

Wednesday he said he and his irtaff will be researching the problem independently of the study group. There will definitely be a package of administration legislation, he said, but hopefully it will coincide with the study committee's recommendations. Getting back to the constitu used as a gymnasium and for For City, Parish cH Iff back in November, it will make the old party stalwarts who lost control of the 1972 convention to the have-nots of the past, take the new brand of party politics seriously.

He said he will not use his appointments to tip the philosophical balance in his favor, but rather will use them to insure adequate representation of such minority groups as blacks, women and vouth. The governor will have 15 at large appointments and 12 which must represent designated special interest groups. Looking far down the road, he said this a 's presidential friends could have prevented the election of some of the delegates in Louisiana," he confessed. He also said 1972 may cause the Democratic party "to begin moving back from the left toward the center." Edwards said he plans a mini-vacation from Friday to Tuesday, but he declined to say where he is going other than it will be out of the state. by the homestead exemption laws.

A federal court recently issued an injunction barring further distribution of monies from the property tax relief fund under the method nowi use.

Wilson Of the Times Staff Caddo Police Jurv President Sinclair Kouns Wednesday appointed a special committee to study the feasibility of a joint city-parish recreation program and tax.

Kouns appointed the committee on recommendation of the Police Jury Parks and Recreation Committee. Named to the committee were juror Horace M.

"I want to try to see to it that people who are dedicated to a concept of a very short, simple constitution are elected," the governor said in a press conference Wednesday afternoon. "I want to try to strip the constitution of all 'unconstitutional' matters, local matters and of provisions, which in my opinion, have no business in a constitution," Edwards continued. "What I would do would be to go into selected designated areas where there might be two or three people running where I think I may have some influence," he said. "And if I could have some kind of understanding of the philosophical attitude ot a given candidate that he would support a move to write that kind of constitution, whereas another one had a different attitude I would give whatever service I could to the former." Relaxed Mood Edwards, informally dressed and in a relaxed.wisecracking mood, appeared to have left his Democratic convention worries in Miami. He left the convention Tuesday afternoon in disgust over the unavoidable nomination of Sen.

George McGovern. He left behind a badly divided Louisiana delegation, half pro-McGovern and half against the South Dakota senator. Edwards was chairman of the Louisiana contingent and his departure prompted some quibbling shots from pro-McGovern and black delegates. When asked what role he will take in the upcoming national campaign, he replied, "aloofness elusiveness is another word I just don't plan to get involved. I don't think I would feel comfortable with the nominee of my own party," he said, adding that he can't openly campaign for Republican Richard Nixon.

If the election were held today, Nixon would carry Louisiana 6-4 ove McGovern, Edwards predicted. He said the call for the Aug. 20 special legislative session will be limited strictly to matters dealing with the state property tax situation.

Neither is it likely, the campaign manager said, that Wallace will support President Nixon for re-election.

Snider said he presumes Wallace will accept an invitation to speak at the American Party National Convention next month at Louisville, Ky.
