Bridgeport races stir debate on districting and representation
City officials and party leaders spar over a 20 district plan that could boost minority representation. Dr. Corley of the United Democratic Club argues smaller districts would help Negroes elect candidates, while others back expanding school and city offices to broaden cross‑sectional representation. Rep. Liskov and Mayor Curran push bills to extend pensions and staff powers, with testimony from police leaders and city attorneys.
