SHAPIRO WANTS A
 NEW CONSTITUTION
Will Advocate a Convention. Present Constitution Bar
 to Progress

Isadore Shapiro, after conferring the heads of several state departments in regard to legislation which he intends to introduce next January in the regular session of the legislature. has returned to Birmingham.
 It developed that MT. Shapiro will raise his voice in the interest of constitu- ton convention. He believes that the present constitution is antiquated and a hindrance to the progress of the state. In this connection, he says:
 ''The crying need of the state is new I did not discover how anti auated our constitution is until l under took a study of intended legislation. Ala bama is as sadly hobbled by its con stftution as any other state of the union. The present constitution is a bar to prog ress. The greatest good that could come to Alabama would be the adoption of a new constitution which would permit the state to step forward.
