URMOND Electoral Reform Bills Scheduled For Debate The next major legislative items scheduled for considera- ation by the Senate following action on the farm bill are several resolutions proposing reforms in our system for electing the President of the United States. Millions of Americans whose votes do not count* in Presidential elec tions because of the “winner take all” provisions under present law have been looking forward to action on these proposals for some time. The present system of voting in the electoral college en courages bloc voting by giving greater weight to the vo ters of minority blocs in the large metropolitan areas than to the votes of the people in other sections of the country. Under this system, the 45 electoral votes of New York could go to one presidential candidate by a one-vote margin in popular votes. Thus, the votes of the millions of new Yorkers who supported the losing candidate would not be reflected in the electoral college voting. Various resolutions proposing constitutional amendments for the purpose of effecting a reform in electoral college balloting have been introduced. Some would abolish the electoral college altogether and awjard the presidency to the candidate receiving the highest number of popular votes. The Daniel-Kefauver plan would do away with the electoral college but retain the electoral votes and distribute them on a basis proportionate to the popular votes received by each candidate. The Mundt-Coudert plan would elect pres idential electors in the same manner in which the congres sional delegation from each state is elected. This plan would retain the electoral college, which serves as a buffer against federal interference in state election procedures perform ing a federal function. My plan is the only plan by which the electoral college can be retained and at the same time accurately reflect the will of the people. It would apportion the electoral vote of every state among the three leading candidates according to the popular vote received by the candidate’s electors. Court Should Heed Washington Last week, on Washington’s birthday, the members of the Senate gathered to hear the reading of Washington’s Farewell address to Congress in accordance with an annual custom. As one who believes in adherence to strong con stitutional government, I was once again impressed by the following passage from this monumental message: “The Constitution which at any time exists till changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole people is sac redly obligatory upon all. . . . But let there.be no change by usurpation; for though this in one instance may be the instrument of good; it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed.” Coming from the Father of our Country, this is sound advice which our Supreme Court could well have given con siderable thought before it usurped the rights of the Con gress, the States, and even the people in handing down its # illegal anti-segregation decision.
