AUSTIN—As absentee voting
gets under way for the Septem-
7 election O the proposed con-
stitutional amendment to in-
crease size of the Texas Senate
from 31 to 39 members, battle
lines are drawn.
State AFL-CIO is leading the
opposition. It charges that the
'♦proposal is a "pig in a poke" of-
fering no guides as to where the
new districts will go.
"Committee for Fair Repre-
sentation," made up primarily
of trade and industrial associa-
tion representatives, contends
that Texans would get "proper
representation without jeopardi-
zing the interests of sparsely-
settled areas" by adding eight
new members to the Senate.
Lobby groups acknowledge
they favor the plan because in-
creased membership would cut
down a senator's work load
somewhat and make it easier to
communicate with him.
The enlargement amendment,
which triggered one of the 59th
Legislature's most bruising bat-
tles, was intended to take some
of the sting out of legislative re-
districting by making it possible
for most incumbent senators to
keep their jobs.
Big city forces are divided,
while most rural interests tend
to favor a 39-member Senate.
Whether either campaign af-
fects the expected light voter
turnout remains to be seen. Most
predictions are that the amend-
ment will fail.
