The seismology laboratory Of
the California Institute Of

centered about 10 miles south.

Court Backs
Districtinq
In Virginia

RICHMOND, Sept. "a (AP)
"A State court judge held
today the General Assembly's
1862 legislative reapportion-
ment, while not perfect, is
honest and fair" and con-
stitutional.
The decision by Judge Ed
mund w. Hening, jr., Of Rich
mond Circuit Court knocked
down the argument by two
Norfolk citizens that the Legis-
lature's redistricting was in
vidious discrimination"
The suit, filed by Norfolk
Attorney Henry E. Howell, jr.,
a candidate for the House of
Delegates, had sought an in
junction to halt both the pri-
mary and general elections
until the Legislature passed
fair and equal representation
in the General Assembly"
The redistricting plan previ-
ously had been held unconsti-
tutional by a special Federal
District Court which said it
Disseminated against residents
of urban areas. This decision
has been appealed to the United
States Supreme Court with
arguments expected to be held
next month.
Judge Hening's decision to-
day, and the fact that the
Supreme Court is not likely to
hand down a decision before
the November general election,
seems to remove any possible
block to holding the November
5 elections as scheduled.

There is little likelihood that

General Assembly to a special

a result of the 1860 census by
combining Carroll, Howard,
Anne Arundel and Calvert
Counties into a new district.
The bill has been success
fully challenged by petitions

Until a redistricting bill is
enacted, the new seat will have

Mr.. PeruSSe defended the &C

showed that three-fifths of the

equitable redistricting plan if
Gov. TaWeS supported it.
Mr.. PeruSse yesterday sent a
telegram advising the Governor
Of his findings and urging him
to convene a special session of
the Legislature to enact a plan
proposed by the committee.
Learning of the program, Mr..
Douglas this morning declared:
1.-THE wire and the whole
thing are just bunch Of hocus
pocus. The poll doesn't show
anything at all. Why, rs per
cent of the people did not even
answer Perusse's letters. He
was just specializing on how
they would vote. Almost no
Senator or Delegate is going
to say now that he definitely
will vote this way or that"
The RejOinder
Mr.. Perusse said he and Mr..
Douglas had calculated the re-
suits together only a few days
ago. 1T is true that rs per
cent did not answer the mail
query. But I followed this up
with telephone calls. On the
basis of replies, follow-up
queries and reports from heads
of delegations and leaders of
opinion, we came up with the
figure Of 101 delegates who
could be expected to vote for
