GOP Court Picks Dem To Lead Reapportionment Panel
A Democratic attorney, Dr. A Leo Levin of the University of Pennsylvania, was chosen by Pennsylvania's Republican dominated State Supreme Court to head the Legislative Reapportionment Commission. Levin will supervise redistricting of 253 state districts before 1972 elections, with the plan surviving only if not struck down by the state Supreme Court. The commission includes four legislative leaders and will deliver a plan to the state elections in 190 days. Levin, who said he has not been politically active, noted the need to begin work quickly to meet the deadline. Some Shapp officials criticized Republicans for not naming a chairman from their own side, alleging GOP influence.

Pope Paul VI fasted and skipped Mass on Good Friday and planned candlelight Stations of the Cross at St Mary Major. He would remove his shoes before adoration of the cross and carry a wooden cross from the Colosseum to the Temple of Venus ruins during the night procession. His Holy Thursday remarks criticized priests leaving the priesthood as Judas-like defections. In Vietnam coverage, Col Robert W Leonard apologized for CBS Safer disruption and confirmed MACV policy to assist reporters, noting Safer's 10 day assignment and potential focuses on Vietnamization fragging and casualty withholding.
