O'Neal Believes Such Re-

Than Legislative Needs
GLARING DEFECTS IN
OLD CONSTITUTION
Governor Declines to Make Positive
Statement in Regard to Inten-
tions-Extra Session of the
Legislature Necessary

Montgomery, January 11.-(Speeial)-
Governor ONeal considers the need of
constitutional reforms of greater import
ance to the people of Alabama than the
need of legislative reforms. He believes
that the need OF new constitutional con-
vention is becoming more apparent each
year, and, moreover. it is his opinion that
it will not be very long before such a
convention is called into session.
But in expressing this belief, Governor
ONeal does not declare any intention
In fact. he avoids any positive express
sion on that subject just as he refrains
from stating whether or not he will call
an extra session of the legislature. He
admits the need of both legislative and
constitutional reforms, and it is probable
that he would attempt to establish both
during his administration If he were as
sured of state wide support in his un-
dertaking.
A constitutional convention cannot be
