H Etter Hempstead county delegate questions a statement in yesterday's editorial about the constitutional draft and labor's opposition to four provisions.

The piece cites personal experience with petition campaigns and asserts opposition to loosening voting requirements for repeal. At Athens, Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis is reported seriously ill but later denied by Olympic Airways.
