ly or together, would put a quick
malt TO such abuses.
One is a bill to implement Sec.
2 Of the l4th Amendment TO the
ConSt tuition
This section provides that any
State which denies or abridgeS
the rights Of any Of its citizens 10
vote shall have its representation
in the House Of Representatives
reduced prOportionately
in other words. if a significant
group of citizens is not permitted
to vote for its Congressman, there
won't be a Congressman.
While this provision has been
a part Of the Constitution since
1868. il has never been followed
Up by the necessary law TO make
il effective.
This is what my bill would do.
II would establish a Joint Com
mittee on Congressional Repre-
sentation which would meet fol-
following each election. On the
basis of evidence presented, it
would decide whether any State
violating the law would have its
representation reduced and by
how much.
Congress could review these
findings and pass final judgement
on each case.
The second measure introduc-
cd in the Senate would establish
maximum - not minimum-eligi-
bility standards for voters in Fed
eral elections through an amend
ment TO the Constitution
These maximum standards
would require United States citi-
zcnship. six months residence in
the particular State and attain
mcnt of the age of 2l
Since these arc maximum stand
ards. a State would not be pre-
vented. say from lowering its
voting age limit to ID
Also. these standards would
not prevent a State from Olsen
franchising persons sdiuugcd
mentally incompetent or those
who have been convicted OF
crimes.
The Constitution now permits
a State TO set its own voter quail
fications. However, Federal pre-
ccdent in this area long ago was
set in the 18th Amendment. pre-
venting discrimination in voting
because of race or color. and the
10th Amendment. which permit
ted women 10 vote.
There will come a day ] hopl
when the right to vote is as aca-
dcmic in every corner of our land
as is the right to breathe.
But TO bring that day closer,
Congress must act TO protect
these fundamental rights Of every
American citizen.

Gas Dryer Merits
Planning Role

NEW YORK Although
clothes dryers are in big de-

But there are many factors
that make the gas clothes dryer

Often the dryer, or a washer
dryer combination, will fit in
perfectly with a project such
as the addition of a modern utll-
ity room, or with kitchen or rec

The dryer may take up its du-
ties in time TO help with one OF

routine covering so many clio

extra advantage in the spring
