Governor Signals Special Session On Reapportionment
Harrisburg AP Gov Lawrence said he would call a special session before January 1 to work on congressional reapportionment but only if party leaders near agreement. He aims to limit the session to reapportionment after the November elections, warning failure to reach accord could delay until January. Negotiations stalled as House and Senate adjourned for 1961, with debate over reducing 30 districts to 27 amid 1960 census shifts. Democratic and Republican aides warned time has run out, risking at large elections if no deal by February. Democrats push to protect six seats in Philadelphia by trading Delaware and Bucks Counties, while Republicans resist any plan not cutting Philadelphia representation.
