(AP Wirephoto) Californian Opposes State Senate Changes WASHINGTON UP-State Sen. Edwin J. Regan (D-Weaverville) urged prompt action by Congress today to allow apportionment of one house of state legislatures on a basis other than population. Regan told a House committee of what he termed the verse on California of recent U.S. Supreme Court apportionment ruling.

I Speaking as a representative of the rural-dominated California Senate, he hacked constitutional amendments introduced to the 49 states with two legislative houses to put representation in one on a basis other than strictly by population. "California is a diverse state- diverse in its geographic and topographic Regan said in prepared remarks before the House Judiciary Committee. is a large and populous state, with a majority of its population concentrated in two metropolitan complexes, situated in only a very small proportion of its area, and which do not include a most substantial part of its resources and Regan testified against the recent high court decision which declared that both houses of state legislatures must he apportioned on a population basis. In California, the Assembly is apportioned along population lines, hut the Senate is divided geographically. Regan, chairman of he California Senate Judiciary Committee, had more statistics.

It took several hours of computer calculations yesterday for State Treasurer Bert Betts to decide that all bids had to be refused on the bonds, which will be used to build schools and state buildings.

Because of state law, when the stated low bid turned out not to be so, Betts had to also reject the only other bid and reschedule the sale for July 30. When the bids were opened yesterday morning, a syndicate led by Bankers Trust Co. of New York appeared to be the low bidder with offers of 3.12 and 3.13 per cent interest charges on the two blocks of bonds at 50 million dollars each. The competing Bank of America syndicate wanted to charge the state 3.15 per cent interest. However, the New York bid was on a "split coupon under which high dividends are paid early in the life of the bonds, but lower ones later.

Betts wanted to check if that system kept the interest rate as low as stated. After several hours of computer work, he decided it actually meant a rate of 3.35 per cent to the state. So he reset the ruled out any split coupon bids the next time.
