Massive Power Show Staged By Small Counties
Rural-county legislators in Montgomery staged a major reapportionment showdown by bypassing committees to push two Senate approved constitutional amendments favoring small counties. They also moved a senator-for-every-county measure to the House calendar while recessing, with warnings of federal court action possible if inequities persist.

Three Judges Rule New Law Fails In Its Scope
A three-judge federal court in Nashville said Tennessee two week old legislative reapportionment laws failed to eliminate malapportionment. It ordered the 1963 General Assembly to attempt a fair reapportionment by June 3 or the court would draft its own plan. The ruling follows the U S Supreme Court decision that urban residents could seek relief from federal court over non reapportionment. The court urged base on voter numbers without regard to other factors and noted caution about federal intrusion. It retained jurisdiction and did not permit immediate appeal by plaintiffs or the state.

Airline Strike Threat Mounts
New York AP report says flight engineers from Eastern Air Lines and Pan American World Airways threaten a 1 p.m. Saturday strike if no better settlement than the Trans World Airlines pact. The union states talks have broken off. National President Ronald Brown backs the action. The TWA deal aims to cut four crew pilots to three and includes training for engineers to become pilots. A joint committee to study fusion of engineer and pilot unions is planned, a move objected to by the Eastern and Pan Am teams. The engineers seek a fully acceptable settlement covering all issues from the long two year dispute.
