Conferees OK Redistricting Compromise Plan
House conferees approved a congressional redistricting compromise allowing 33 states to avoid immediate compliance with the Supreme Court one man, one vote ruling for five years. The plan, called unconstitutional by Sen. Kennedy and called an invitation to gerrymander by Rep. Conyers, keeps districts unchanged through the 1970 census unless federal figures arrive. It delays restraints until after the 1972 elections, limiting population variance to 10 percent by then. Kennedy and Conyers vow to push for swift court-compliant reform.
