AS relentless as a hungry
shark, the aquarium. bill con-
tinues to slide through Con-
greSS.
There were those who ex-
pected the bill which authorizes
a $40 million aquarium for the
District to be laid on the table
in front of the House Rules
Committee and allowed tc
smell for the rest of the ses-
sion. In the past. this has hap
pened to other pieces of legis-
lation.
But the fish bill is being
pulled along by Representative
Mike Kirwan, the 75-year-olc
Ohio Democrat who is also
chairman of the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Com
.mittee-an organization which
may, or may not, help the boys
back home.
He put on a masterful dis
play before the committee to-
day, asking that it allow the
bill to go to the floor for a vote
1t has passed both the Senate
and the House and needs only
one more vote to slip away to
the White House.
Hours Debate
The committee went along
with Mr.. Kirwan and sched-
uled the bill for an hours de-
bate sometime this week.
The committee possibly had
some difficulty following the
testimony of Mr.. Kirwan. AT
times his prose was as murky
as the deepest point in the
ocean, any ocean.

Earlier, Representative Nc

the bill up or down.
Research Center
Sponsors of the bill have
claimed the aquarium could be

Don't ask me about that

Realigninent of congressional
districts in Maryland is becom'
ing one of the major issues il
the campaign for the State
representatives. seat.
1t is an issue primarily be-
cause voters will ballot Novem,
ber 6 in a referendum to ap.
prove or reject a redistrictine
bill passed at the 1861 session
of the General Assembly.
Carlton r. Sickles, Democra-
tic candidate for representative
at-large, is supporting the bill
although not actively. His Re-
publican opponent, Newton 1
Steers, is strongly against it.
Public Meeting
They will discuss the issue
at a public meeting tonight
in Montgomery. The meeting
sponsored by the Montgomery
League of Women Voters, will
be held at $50 pm. at New
port Junior High School in
Kensington.
For the first time, Maryland
has a representative-at-large
seat this year because no district
has been designated for the
additional congressman Mary
land received as a result o1
the 1860 census.
The General Assembly and
the State Democratic admins
tration thought they had set
tied the new congressman in a
district when the 1861 bill was
passed. But the Maryla n q
League of Women Voters. led
by it's Montgomery County
unit, said the bill was grossly
unfair and petitioned 1t to a
referendum.
AS a result of the referendum
move, the bill did not go into
effect and candidates for the
extra seat must run at large
If approved by the voters, ii
will become effective for the
next election.
New 9Th District
The bill would cut Prince
Georges and Howard Counties
out iof the present 5th district
and set them up as the new
9th district. Until the 1860 CEN
sus. Maryland had seven House
members.

Maryland Compoigners
Debate Redistrictino

Opponents of the bill want. a
more thorough redistricting.
They point out that while the
bill eases the population factor
in the present 5th district, it
still leaves some districts with
more than twice as many peo-
pie as others.
The Montgomery League Of
Women Voters is especially
unhappy because Montgomery
is in one of the big districts.
Mr.. Sickles said he is not
campaigning for a favorable
vote on the bill in the re-
ferendum but. when asked, ad-
vises people he plans to vote
for it.
He said that he voted for it
in the General Assembly,
where he serves as a member
of the House of Delegates from
Prince Georges, because it was
the only bill the Assembly had
a chance to vote on. Other pro-
posals were killed in commit
tee.
Mr.. Sickles said that II the
bill is rejected by the voters, he
believes the new seat will re-
main on an at-large basis until
the next Federal census in
1880.
BaltimOre's Objection
He said he would like to see
a more equitable redistrieting.
but that a general revision Of
districts would require taking
a congressman away from Bal
timore and he doesn't think
this would get through the
General Assembly.
Mr.. Steers is actively CAM
paigning to defeat the bill in
the referendum.
In a letter to the League of
Women Voters he said his cam
paign headquarters is distrib-
uting literature and bumper
Stickers urging a mo" vote in
the referendum.
Mr.. Steers has criticized Mr..
Sickles for voting for the bill
in the General Assembly. He
claims Mr.. Sickles voted for it
because it created a congress
sional seat for Prince Georges
where Mr.. Sickles lives.
Anything less than fair rep
resentation in Congress for the
people of Maryland should not
be tolerated" Mr.. Steers said.

controversial item is a sec

Gently sent a questionnaire
to all of you voters in my

ton. None of them have been

there is widespread support
for at least some sections of
the omnibus farm bill. Per-
haps you will remember the
small part I played last year
in the passage of the last
omnibus farm bill. Perhaps
you don't. 1t seems to me
everyone should take more
of an interest in Govern
ment and not, necessarily, in
their Congressman. But more
about that later.
I urged yesterday, in a

foreign nations which pro-
duce wheat should be urged
to produce something else.

us, including your Congress-
man, have become disen-
enchanted with the Com

been able to find out where

another example of bigness
