FISHER ROUNDUP (Continued from Page 1) ing, but the occuring that's hard." This is a pretty good thought. As a general rulq it is not the doing of a job that is difficult it is the thinking that necessarily precedes the big problem. It is the "occurring" that's hard in newspaper writing, especially when little is occurring. When it comes to doing for others, some people will stop at nothing. CHANCES FOR SUBMISSION of a constitutional amendment confirming the right of the states to reapportion one branch of their state legislatures on a basis not solely related to population, have improved recently.

The need for this amendment developed when the Supreme Court on last June 15 ruled that both the House and Senate in each state mus be apportioned on the basis of population alone. The Texas Plan, introduced on behalf of the entire Texas delegation in Congress, would allow only one branch to be apportioned solely on a population basis. In other words, it would continue the present system in is, of having the House of Representatives based on population and the Senate on population and other factors. Under the Constitution of Texas no one county can have more than one state Senator. But if the Supreme Court has its way that provision would be thrown out of the window.

That would mean that 5 counties, the more populous ones, would have 12 of the state's Senators. The Supreme Court decision was capricious and was not actually authorized by the U. S. Constitution. It marked another and dangerous usurpation of power by that tribunal under Chief Justice Warren.

Justice Potter Stewart, who dissented, said the Court's decision gives "support to a cun-ent mistaken view of the Constitution and constitutional function" of the Supreme Court. "This view," he said, is that every major social ill in this country can find its cure in some constituional and that this Court should 'take the lead' in promoting reform when other branches of Government fail to act." Mr. Justice Stewart was right. He hit the nail on the head. But the only way to correct misinterpretations by the Supreme Court is by amendment, spelling out in unmistakable terms, what the Court cannot possibly misinterpret.

That is what we are trying to do with respect to this problem. But it takes a two-thirds vote of the both the House and Senate to submit a Constitutional amendment for ratification by the various state legislatures. And that is often very difficult to get.

Says Politicians Out Of Touch With People Regarding TV DID YOU REMEMBER TO PHONE AHEAD FOR RESERVATIONS? Whether you're motoring on vacation or business, that call ahead can add so much to your Try it on your trip. and you'll know what it mtani to bt nally Southwiituri Stifu Editor's note: The Country Philosopher on his Johnson grass farm on Wallace Crook advises politicians about television this week. Dear edilar: Successful politicians as underst a it are suppposed to be men who figure out what the people Ihinl: before they know it themselves and then let them in on it, but I'm A. not sure this is always true. Also, a politician is supposed to keep his ear to the ground, and maybe he does, but this mny not be very helpful these days when half the people live above the ground floor.

I was thinking about this after I read an article telling about how the politicians, both Republican and Democratic, had been worrying about what they could do to liven up their conventions, in order to hold the television audience. Here we are, they said, with two or three days and nights of nation-wide, exclusive television time and how can be be sure we can hold our audience? This shows how out of touch with the pople the politicians are. Don't they know the people don't expect them to put on a lively show when not even the professional television people can do it? We might wish they could, but we don't expert it If politicians had kept their ears off the ground and their eyes glued to their T.V. sets, they would have realized the people have not come to expect constant gripping excitement on the screen. the Texas Plan.

The Committee appeared friendly to our proposal. We can now hope the Committee will act favorably and thereby give the House a chance to approve it by a two-thirds majority. There is still a long way to go, and time is running short; but the outlook has improved. Take the average baseball game on T. V.

Maybe ten per cent of the time something really exciting happens, and the rest of the time is about on the same plane as speech at a convention. One home-run and one intiTfstiiig apoech per show is abuii'i average for either type of production. The people understand this and they expert no more. With some speeches, the last thing the speaker needs is an attentive audience. There are times when losing your crowd can be more beneficial to the party than holding it.

Yours faithfully, J. A. Game Biologists Make Deer Count Parks and Wildlife Department wildlife biologists are conducting the annual deer census in Texas counties where the Department has regulatory responsibility, according to E. A. Walker, assistant director for wildlife.

He said these counts must be taken after fawns are born and must be completed in time to shape the deer hunting seaaon. By late September or early October, enough data will be available for biologists to determine which areas will support an antlerless deer kill. Landowners will be notified in time to process antlerless deer permits by the time the early season opens on Nov. 14.
