Vermont Legislature approves a plan to shift one Senate seat from Rutland County to Chittenden County in a 15 to 13 Senate vote and 173 to 45 House vote, setting up a study commission to review seat realignment for the 1962 elections. The measure aims to curb the unrepresentative nature of the House and faces potential court challenges from Rutland interests.

The administration backs private ownership with AT&T and others sharing control, a point Kefauver and allies challenge as potentially allowing AT&T dominance.
