High Court Studies Redistricting Suit in Kansas
The Kansas Supreme Court took under advisement a suit seeking reapportionment of 125 Kansas House seats on population basis. Plaintiffs led by Hutchinson executives including John P. Harris argue the state must apply one man one vote, while defendants led by Gov. John Anderson urge keeping the current system. The case follows a US Supreme Court ruling and parallels a prior Senate reapportionment suit. The court may retain jurisdiction during 1965 legislative adjustments.
