REVIEWS CONVENTION:
Sturm Notes 'Conservatism'
rI
of Con-Con Delegates
By RAYMOND HOLTON
Delegates to last year's Con-
stitutional Convention "displayed
a natural conservatism in making
changes in the basic law of the
state," Prof. Albert L. Sturm of
Florida State University notes in
"Constitution-Making in Michigan
1961-62," recently published by
the Institute for Public Adminis-
tration.
He points out that the resulting
document retains such "traditional
practices" as the bi-cameral legis-
lature, the 15-mill property tax
limitation, the four-cent ceiling
on the state sales tax and initia-
tiye and referendum.
Prof. Sturm also cites the re-
tention of the traditional forms
of local government, constitution-
al status for state colleges and
universities, civil service and pro-
tection of personal and property
rights.
Several Innovations
However, he notes several in-
novations in the document, in-
cluding the consolidation of some
120 state agencies into a maximum
of 20 departments, the extention
of the terms of major elective of-
ficers to four years, the abolition
of justice of the peace courts and
the liberalization of debt limita-
tions.
"It is not a model," Prof. Sturm
says, "nor does it go as far as
a whole, in accepting the more
advanced proposals for stream-
lining the machinery of govern-
ment and adopting it to the needs
of the 1960's and future decades as
some other new state constitu-
tions."
Writing a "model" constitution
or an "ideal document" is of little
lasting value, he asserts. The con-
stitution-making process should be
a "very practical process that is
necessarily molded by tradition
and political forces and experi-
ence."
"Reflects Environment"
Prof. Sturm notes that the
document "reflects the political
The major concern of the Demo-
crats was reapportionment of leg-
islative districts and "developments
on this matter greatly affected
their stands on other issues," he
says.
Three Groups
Prof. Sturm divides the Re-
publicans into three groups-con-
servatives, moderates and liberals.
The conservative faction consisted
of strong outstate, rural repre-
sentation and lawyers and leaders
of the Farm Bureau. "This group,"
he comments, "fared remarkably
well, being able to retain many
of the constitution's traditional
values."
The largest Republican group
was the moderates, prominently
led by Gov. George Romney, then
a convention vice-president. The
liberals sought a model document
and "ideal solutions to state prob-
lems." Prof. Sturm lists Prof.
James K. Pollack of the political
science department as a member
of that wing.
Reviewing Michigan's constitu-
tion history, Prof. Sturm finds
that the state "has been more
active than most states in con-
stitution making." The first docu-
ment was drawn up in 1835 and
five others have been submitted
to the voters.
Prof. Sturm points out the basic
political and economic issues that
eventually led to constitutional
reform. In 1910 "more than half
of the population lived in rural
areas; by 1960, almost three-
fourths of it was urban, with 53
per cent of the people living in
four southeastern Michigan coun-
ties.
Also, Sturm noted that "by 1959
the state was faced with a finan-
cial crisis of the first prder." The
inability of the Republican Legis-
lature and Democratic Gov. G.
Mennen Williams to agree on a
tax program was the immediate
reason for the crisis, he writes.

environment in which it was wyit-
ten" as well as the current think-
ing of experts in state' government
and administration.
The new constitution, like the
federal Constitution, is the result
of compromises, he points out. The
compromises are not only between
the Republicans and Democrats,
but within the party delegations
themselves.
Surveying the 99 Republican, 45
Democrat delegate convention,
Prof. Sturm finds that lawyers
were the largest occupational
group represented. Fifty-seven
delegates were lawyers.
Male, White, Protestant
The make-up of the convention
was predominately male, white and,
Protestant. Most delegates were
from the middle and uppermiddle
income brackets with 68 in the
$7500 to $15000 income range.
There were 11 women delegates,
13 Negroes and 35 non-Protestants
out of the total 144 delegates.
Seventy-one delegates were col-
lege graduates while 24 had never
gone to college,.
Viewing the convention's fac-
tional make-up, Prof. Sturm finds
that the two-to-one Republican
majority "affords an incomplete
view of the role played by various
factions, blocs and groups in mold-
ing the new document."
"The Democrats were a much
more homogeneous group than the
Republicans, with all but four
coming from the Detroit metro-
politan area where the labor in-
fluence was dominant,"

WASHINGTON - The United
States and South Viet Nam yester-
day agreed on a cost-sharing for-
mula which will speed the flow
of United States food and equip-
ment to the growing number of
strategic hamlets in that country.
South Viet Nam will pay the local
costs o about $17 million per
year.
WASHINGTON - The Cuban
crisis last fall "increased the lev-
el of command and control of
military operations from Wash-
ington," Vice Adm. Alfred G. Ward
said yesterday. He said coordinat-
ing national efforts is a job for
the whole government. The com-
mander of the Atlantic Second
Fleet declared "The necessity for
coordinating the whole resources
of a nation toward a specific ob-
jective has become too vast to be
handled effectively by one class
of leaders. It has become the re-
sponsibility of the whole people
and the government. As French
Premier Georges Clemenceau put
it in the First World War, 'war is
much too serious a matter to be
entrusted to generals'."

HOW TO SEE EUROPE.
FOR ONLY $300 A DAY: NO. 2
Last week we discussed England, the first stop on the tour of
Europe that every American college student is going to make
this summer. Today we will take up your next stop--Frane,
or the Pearl of the Pacific, as it is generally called.
To get from England to France, one greases one's body and
swims the English Channel. Similarly, to get from France to
Spain, one greases one's body and slides down the Pyrenees.
And, of course, to get from France to Switzerland, one greases
one's body and wriggles through the Simplon Tunnel. Thus, as
you can see, the most important single item to take to Europe
is a valise full of grease.
No, I am wrong. The most important thing to take to Europe
is a valise full of Marlboro Cigarettes-or at least as many as

the customs regulations will allow. And if by chance you should
run out of Marlboros in Europe, do not despair. That familiar
red and white Marlboro package is as omnipresent in Europe
as it is in all fifty of the United States. And it is the same
superb cigarette you find at home-the same pure white filter,
the same zestful, mellow blend of tobaccos preceding the filter.
This gem of the tobacconist's art, this prodigy of cigarette
engineering, was achieved by Marlboro's well-known research
team-Fred Softpack and Walter Fliptop-and I, for one, am
grateful.
ButI digress. We were speaking of France-or the Serpent of
the Nile, as it is popularly termed.
Let us first briefly sum up the history of France. The nation
was discovered in 1066 by Madame Guillotine. There followed
a series of costly wars with Schleswig-Holstein, the Cleveland
Indians, and Jean Jacques Rousseau. Stability finally came to
this troubled land with the coronation of Marshal Foch, who
married&Lorraine Alsace and had three children: Flopsy, Mopsy,
and Charlemagne: This later became known as the Petit Trianon.
Marshal Foch-or the Boy Orator of the Platte, as he was
affectionately called-was succeeded by Napoleon, who intro-
duced shortness to France. Until Napoleon the French were
the tallest nation in Europe. After Napoleon most Frenchmen
were able to walk comfortably under card tables. This later
became known as the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Napoleon, after his defeat by Credit Mobilier, was exiled to
Elba, where he made the famous statement, "Able was I ere I
saw Elba." This sentence reads the same whether you spell it
forward or backward. You can also spell Marlboro backward-
Oroblram. Do not, however, try to smoke Marlboro backward"
because that undoes all the pleasure of the finest cigarette made.
After Napoleon's death the French people fell into a great fit
of melancholy, known as the Louisiana Purchase. For over a
century everyone sat around moping and refusing his food.
This torpor was not lifted until Eiffel built his famous tower,
which made everybody giggle so hard that today France is the
avest dcou1nt in-Euronp
