Today, after hearing testimony from more that fifty witnesses, the members appear to be even more divided and confused. Certain witnesses, expressing objective and highly idealistic points of view, have supported substitution of a plan for the direct popular election of the President in place of the existing Electoral College system.

Elm St. Phone 385-7030 sented convincingly to the Committee by Neal R. Peirce, author of "The People's President" -- the only full length volume on the subject. Many of the committee members seemingly were surprised by the statement of the witness, Clarence Mitchell, director of the Washington Bureau of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The NAACP, which has been in the forefront of promoting equal rights for all citizens, presented testimony in opposition to any plan for the direct popular vote of the President at the present time. The statement implied that the existing system provides advantages to Negro voting blocs in New York City and other large cities. Mr. Mitchell, in opposing a popular election system, argued that existing discrimination against black Americans deprives many of their right to vote • in southern states. Another surprise came from the American Jewish Congress ' which presented a detailed statement pointing out various existing inequities in our federal system, including the representation of small states in the U.S. Senate far in excess of that which their population would justify, and other aspects which make our federal system an unequal one. The American Jewish conference contends that the existing method of electing Presidents favors the urban voter and compensates for the other inequities in our constitutional system. This organization declares: "The Presidency, which must be responsive to urban and ethnic interests, is seen as a counterweight to Congress. In a country as large as ours and as diverse, this system of countervailing powers has served us well. It is part of a network of balances and accommodations which insures a concern for all groups and a genuinely representative government." In addition to these examples, other testimony suggests that specific recommendations for Electoral College reform are motivated more by special interests than by objective considerations. The small and less populous states, with their built-in advantage of two bonus electoral votes equal to their representation in the United States Senate, are inclined to be favorably to the retention-of the existing system. Also, ethnic and minority groups, with the advantages of their voting blocs, appear to support the winner-take-all philosophy which is inherent in the existing system (where the popular winner in each state receives the state's entire electoral vote.) In a forthright statement in which special interests were flatly rejected, including the "special advantage for large urban industrial states", Gus Tyler, assistant president of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' union, assured the Committee that: "...regardless of how valid this argument may be, we nevertheless favor replacement of the present system by direct popular election because we believe it improper that a democracy should so construct its electoral system as to favor any one section of the country over another, any one economic class over another, any one ethnic group over another, any one group of states over another, any one segment of the population over another. Perhaps this position does run counter to our institutional interests; it is our position, nonetheless." Whether this selfless attitude can prevail in the U.S. Congress is problematic. Bearing in mind that some reform of the existing Electoral College system is desirable, it should be recalled that his constitutional change requires the concurrence of/two^-thirds of the members ft the House and Senate in or.der for the proposition to be passed, and ratification by three-fourths of the states in order for the amendment to become effective. Electoral College reform which now has been studied in depth -- is yet a long way off.
