Republican Urges Redistricting Plan In Ohio Senate
Ohio Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Fred L. Hoffman of Cincinnati backs a constitutional amendment to redraw Senate districts to better reflect population. The move contrasts with usual GOP policy on apportionment and would let the State Apportioning Board draw new districts. The Senate approved Rhodes appointees to several state posts for terms ending in 1967 to 1970, including Carl R. Johnson, Westerville, and Bricker on OSU board, with Dudley and Peterson named to unemployment and civil rights roles.
