Redistricting Amendment Favored By Austin Speakers
Travis County voters face a constitutional change Tuesday to create a board for state redistricting if the Legislature does not redraw lines after the 1950 census. Austin attorney William Trenckmann urged support, noting uneven senatorial district populations since 1921 and population growth. The session also covered campus religious counseling, Emphasis Week plans with Dr. Arthur Compton, and a city tuberculosis chest x ray survey showing 434 unsuspected cases among 28 000 exams with free follow up through Saturday.
