Arguments Heard
On Senate Seating

Judge o. Bowie Duckett took un-
der consideration last Thursday
arguments whether the Maryland
Senate should be rcapportioncd in
addition TO the House of Delegates.
The Anne Arundel County Cir
cult court Judge ruled May "a that
apportionmcnt of the 123-mcmbcr
House violated the constitutional
right of metropolitan residents to
equal protection of the laws under
the 18th amendment
The Maryland Legislature, meet
ing in special session, after his
ruling, added 10 seats to the House
for the benefit Of urban areas.
Judge Duckett said he felt the
Senate set up was not constitution
al because of its similarity to the
U. S. Senate but made no final
ruling. The Maryland committee for
Fair Representation contend that
more seats must be supplied in
the Senate for urban areas if the
whole legislature is to be con-
sidered constitutionally appor-
toned.
The attorney general argued that
the Senate is soundly apportioncd
on its present historic lines and
said that to relate it to population
would be to decree "a new form
of government i'll Maryland.
He urged the court not to over
turn the form of government which
has long been established in the
constitution.
