Unless Gov. Harrison prompt
ly convenes the General AS
sembly in special session, he
risks a Federal court order re-
curing revolutionary redistri-
button of political power
throughout the State.
For If the Legislature has not
been reapportioned by next
January 81, Northern Virgin
ians intend-to request the court
to reapportion it by degree.
They are confident such Q re-
quest would be granted.
Should it be. the ensuing po-
htical upheavals doubtless
would be more severe and i'm
mediate than any likely to re-
suit from reapportionlnent en-
acted by the General Assembly
itself.
Ever since last Thursday
when a special three judge
court declared that Virginia
must give its urban areas great
er political representation, an
important question has been,
What will happen if the State
refuses to comply with the d.
rective?"
Hoffman Suggests Answer
The answer clearly is sug-
gested in the dissenting opinion
issued Thursday by Judge
Walter e. Hoffman who said
that If the majority decision is
not successfully appealed and
If the General Assembly fails
to meet in special session:
%. the only alternative
will be for this court to re-
apportion the State in con-
formity with legal standards.
While I agree that this may be
done where the Legislature fails
to act, 1t would undoubtedly
result in the adoption of Plan

Certainly, this court has nothing

that each city and county be
allocated legislative representa-

population.
It's adoption would award
Fair fax County four more seats
in the House of Delegates and
one more in the Senate. Airing
ton would get another delegate.
Norfolk would obtain another
senator and delegate.
Other Areas Affected
AL other populouS sections of
the State. such as Chesterfield,
Colonial Heights, H mpton,
Portsmouth. Newport News and
Roanoke, also would benefit at
the expense of rural areas. The
only exception would be Rich
mond, a citadel Of conservatis,
which now has more represen-
tation than its population justi-
flies.
Cities and their suburbs at
once would gain control of the

to appeal the reapportionment
order or to summon the General
Assembly in an effort to comply
with it.
Fears are being voiced In
r C h m I'd that should the
Supreme Court refuse to stay
enforcement of Thursdays de-
cision pending an appeal, all
lao candidates for the Legisla-
ture might have to run at large
next year.
However, Mr.. Campbell said
that after analysing the court
opinion, he perceives mot the
remotest suggestion" that this
might happen.
What the court has said that
1t will do If no reapportionment
has been accomplished by Janu-
airy 81 is allow Mr.. Campbell
and Mr.. Prichard to "apply to
this court for such further or
ders as may be required"
Although they originally
asked the court to force ali
candidates to run at large in
the absence Of any new re-
apportionment, the attorneys
later dropped this request and
have indicated they will moi
make it again.
April 10 Filing Date
Candidates who plan to en-
ter the next Democratic pri-
maries must file by April 10.
Should the Supreme Court
delay enforcement Of the pres
ent reapportionment order be-
yond this date, elections next
year might be conducted with
out the urban areas having the
additional seats the judges say
they should have.
Though the Thursday deci-
sion declared the reapportion-
ment enacted early this year
unconstitutional, it will not be
nullified until the decision be-
comes effective.
The history of Supreme Court
rulings since its historic one
demanding reapportionment Of
the Tennessee legislature sug-
gests that the most Virginia
might win from an appeal is
delay.
Northern Virginia legislators
are certain that even If a
temporary delay is granted, the
reapportionment decision will
tear Virginia from q past in
which farmers and their small
town friends always have run
the State.

RICHMOND (AP).-The
General Assembly of Vir-

be much more drastic than any
ever really hoped for by even
the most vigorous proponents
of fair reapportionment.
BY acting on its own within
the next two months, the Gen.
eral Assembly conceivably could
effect a less sweeping reappor-
tionment which still would be
acceptable to the court.
However, attorney Edmund
Campbell yesterday said that If
it does not, I'VE will ask the
court to reapportion the State
by decree in accordance with
Plan A of the Bureau of Public
Affairs of the University of
Virginia"
Campbell Prepared Suit
Mr.. Campbell, along with
attorney E. A. Prichard, pre-
pared the suit which produced
the majority decision Thursday.
He believes that no matter
who reshuffles the legislative
seats. Arlington, Fairfax and
Norfolk will have to receive
what plan A" recommends.
The court directive specifi-
cally mentioned these jurisdic-
tons as it was their residents
who filed the suit.
To insure that they also will
profit from any reapportion-
ment the General Assembly
itself makes, other underrepre-
sented cities and counties still
could intervene in the present
suit.
They also could instigate a
suit Of their own and there is
no reason to believe that the
court would not do the same for
them as it has done for Arling-
ton, Fairfax and Norfolk.

of the county commissioners
for two years and Jesse s. Bag
