ANNAPOLIS, May 2s - A
young man who used to follow
the plow is leading the drive
to give urban areas more re-
presentation in Maryland's
General Assembly.
Prof. Royce Hanson is a long
way from the remote 20 acres
where his family scratched out
a living in the mountains of
Arkansas, but he still feels a
kinship with plain folks"
1--WE couldn't even raise hell
without some fertilizer out
there" said Mr.. Hanson during
a lull in activities at the State
house here.
Since he moved into Mont
gomery County a few years
ago, the 30-year-old American
University professor has been
busy in Maryland. In the pro-
cess he has picked up the
handle Mr.. Reapportionment. "
Wins Many Friends
He's head Of the Maryland
Committee for Fair Represen-
tation which has successfully
fought the issue through the
courts. 1t was a court decision
which brought the General As
sembly into special session last
week to reapportion seats in
the House of Delegates.
The lanky, 6-foot figure has
been a familiar one in State
house corridors the past two
years, briefcase tucked under
his arm and loaded with ma
terial to show that urban areas
are being Disseminated against
in the makeup Of the General
Assembly. He had a big hand
in drafting Gov. Tawes' bill
which is now before the AS
sembly.
In the process of trying to
win more votes for the urban
areas, Mr.. Hanson has won a
lot of friends from the rural
counties. They haven't followed
his suggestions yet but they
like the way he fields their
Questions. His appearances be-
fore Assembly committees often
turn into political science
seminars.
More than one rural law
maker has said Mr.. Hanson
speaks our language And he
does, for even through his
erudition, the imprint Of his
rural upbringing is in his
speech.
"Unresponsive Legislatures"
II have never thought there
is anything wrong with letting
plain people handle the govern
ment," said Mr.. Hanson, who
was born in a church mission
in Oklahoma City. He's not in
terested in government by the
elite but in government by the
majority.
He lays a decrease in the
power of State governments
over the past several decades
largely at the door of "un-
responsive State legislatures. "
He claims that no State gov
ernment can be entirely re-
sponSive to the will of the
people as long as the heavily
populated areas are under-rep-
resented.
This comes from a man who
once lived in a log cabin on q
"one-horse" farm, in a area
where the school year ended In
time for the spring strawberry
picking season.
The first seven years of his
life were spent in Logan

clerk Of court. The next five

DIR. ABBOT SAYS there
Is a Sun-based weather cycle
THE sun isn't a perfectly
constant star. 1t varies in a
regular period of 273 months"
and from this theory he
computes his weather pre-
dictions. Sometimes he has
been accurate, sometimes
not, but this seems not to
bother DR.. Abbot, who has
bright blue eyes, a dropping
white mustache and nearly
a century of looking at the
world. He fell and hurt his
back last year and this dis
turbs him some, he says, but
only because "I was unable
to golf this year."
He has long expounded
the theory that someday
the world would turn to the
sun for its heat and power.
Last week, 26 years after he
first showed his "sun en-
gine," he could joke about
his first disastrous demon
stration.
In DR.. Abbot's machine,
parabolic mirrors concen-
trate sun rays on pyrex tubes,
a heat-sensitive chemical in
side the tubes races through
boiler coils at boiling tenn
peratureS, and this operates
a steam generator. But while
thousands stood around to
watch this machine in 1885,
DR.. Abbot recalls with q
grin, "the solder which
sealed the tubes holding the
chemical got so hot 1t
melted"
He refined his machine, on
which his wife cooked ginger
bread at midnight when he
was first perfecting it out on
Mount Wilson, Calf. A model
of the machine is now en-
cased in glass at the Smith,

country but would be feasible

The scientists will simply do

Of his statement, correctly de-
