rural areas, had not been shown
to be discriminatory.
2. Agreed to review q ruling
of a three Judge Federal court
In Atlanta. that dismissed a
voters suit contesting the
existing districts for Georgia's
congressional elections.
The lower court, while con-
ceding that some voters we're
not receiving equal treatment
under a 30-year-old formula,
said Congress or the State Leg
islature could remedy this.
3. Agreed to hear an appeal
from the dismissal in New York
of q suit that claimed congress
sional district lines in Man
haitian were drawn so as to
segregate Negroes and Puerto
Ricans.
The two-one opinion of a
three > Judge Federal district
court was that the plaintiffs,
residents Of Manhattans four
congressional districts, had
failed to prove any violation
Of constitutional rights.
4. Agreed to review three
appeals from action of a three
judge Federal court In Ala
bama that actually reappor-
toned both houses of the
States Legislature for last No
vember's election.
The reapportionment, the
first in Alabama in 81 years,
gave the House q fairly good
apportionment, but left the
Senate comparatively I'M
touched. The court told the
current legislature to finish
the Job.
5. Dismissed appeals from a
ruling OF Q three-judge Federal
court In Oklahoma striking
down apportionment laws and
ordering both legislative houses
to reapportion themselves.
The court. in a two-one de-
ciSion. had told the Legislature
to reapportion by March 8, or
1t would take over. Both the
House and Senate passed re-
apportionment measures and
the court is considering them.
Earlier this term the high
courts struck down Georgia's
use Of a county unit system for
party primaries. The action
led to the death in Maryland
Of a somewhat similar unit
primary plan.
The Georgia case did not
deal with legislative apportion-
ment. Thus its significance in
this area Is questionable. How

example-and revising educa-
tional and training systems to

The committee said in its
appeal that the five most popu-

tain rs per cent Of the States
population but have only "a
per cent of the membership
in the General Assembly's
upper house.
The idea Of a Federal anal
ogy" with the Congress, the
committee contends. is shat
tered by the fact that Balti-
more has been given extra Sem
ators as 1t grew. The appeal
called for a review Of the lower
court ruling.
Maryland Attorney General
Thomas q. Finan, in a brief
urging the Supreme Court to
uphold the lower court ruling,
said that constitutional rights
are not violated by the present
Senate apportionment system.
He said that the present plan
provides protection for less
populated areas. The attorney
general raised the idea Of the
analogy TO the Federal Con-
gress and noted that the pres
ent system in Maryland is his
torical.
Mr.. Finan rejected the argu-
ment that representatives Of a
rural minority control the
Maryland Senate at the ex-
pense Of the majority. The at
torney general argued there is
no proof Of such bloc voting.
He said it would largely de-
feat the original purposes for
q bi-cameral Legislature to re-
quire both Houses to be related
to population. Mr.. Finan said
such a matter Is not q proper
thing for courts to decide.
In its other actions today,
the Supreme Court:
1. Agreed to review q Federal
court ruling upholding the
constitutionality Of the 6S-year-
old method for apportionment
of New York's Legislature.

disagreed that the manned

He also disagreed on the ef-
feet Of the manned program on

search.
There is no shortage Of SCI

tice Warren stayed the decree
and the full Supreme Court
later upheld the stay.
The three Judge court. in an
opinion by United States 4th
Circuit Judge Albert v. Bryan,
had said population, while not
the sole criterion for ALLEGATION
OF legislative seats, should be
the overriding one. "
The case was appealed TO the
Supreme Court by the State,
which said the three Judge
court should have declined to
rule on the matter because Of
the availability of other ade-
quate remedies in the State
courts.
Lost Plea for Speed
The States appeal said Vir-
GINA has consistently reappor-
toned the legislature over the
years and the present appor-
tionment does not discriminate
against any area on the basis
Of its urban or rural character.
Lawyers for the four North.
ern Virginia legislators who.
with q group Of Norfolk resi-
dents had won in the lower
court, tried and failed In
February TO have the Supreme
Court advance the case for an
early hearing.
They maintained at the time
that delay in the high courts
action In the case could post
pone reapportionment for years
because November's election
will determine the makeup OF
both Virginia General Assem-
bly, Houses until at least 1866.
The filing deadline for the
Democratic primary was April
10, which now has past. The
party primary Is July Q. Thus,
1t appears unlikely that action
in the case now will have i'm.
pact for q considerable time.
A second case challenging
the present apportionment is
before a Circuit Court In Rich
mond, but no decision is ex-
pected there until after the
primary because the Judge has
given the State more time to
file papers.
The Northern Virginia legis-
latorS who brought today's
Federal court case were Dele
gates Harrison Mann and
Kathryn Stone of Arlington,
and Delegate John Webb and
Senator John A. K. Donovan
Of Fairfax.
In the Maryland case, the
