Vance Might
Be In Same
Districts
No ongre sional
Transfer Looked for
and Probably Senator
ial Lineup May Be
Unchanged in Reap
portion1nent Moves.

Vance county'S status as to repreS-
Cntation in the legislature and in
Congress is not likely to be affected
one way or another by reason Of re-
apportiOnment moves in the APP
preaching General Assembly, so far
as has been learned here. The only
remote chance, as it is regarded, OF
any variation in lineup concerns the
senatorial district, and at this time
there is no indication Of that other
than the barcSt speculation.
Some opinion hcreaboutS is that
creation of the States ncWly-acquT-
cd congressional district will more
than likely be carved out of areas in
the Piedmont and western sections,
the more thickly populated centers.
and that tho fourth district may re-
main largely as it now is.
Counties in thc fourth district arc
Vance, Franklin, Wake, Johnston,
Chatham and Randolph. The latter is
the far western end of the district,
and gerrymandcring in that part Of
the Piedmont might conccivably
transfer that county into another
grouping.
AS for State House representation,
Vance cannot be deprived of the lone
representative, which it has always
had, and the minimum for every
county And it is well recognized that
il certainty has no presently con-
cCivablc chance in the near or re-
mote future of an additional rcpres-
cntativc, since ii is and always has
been one of the smaller counties Of
the State, both in population and
area.
When the last rcapportiOnmcnt IGr
the legislature WAS under ConSidcra-
ton in the General Assembly, there
was gossip Of Il lineup that would
throw Vance, Granville and Person
together Win a single senator passed
around between them at SiX-yCar in
tcrvalS. AT present and for 4 number
of decades, Vance and Warren have
constituted Il senatorial district, al
teinating in furnishing the candidate
every other session. Speculation here
about is that there is good chance for
that arrangement TO remain.
