House Stymied On Redistrict Bill In Missouri Legislature

Jefferson City June 27 The Missouri House began debate on congressional redistricting and quickly bogged down in ideas for dividing 114 counties into 10 districts. An amendment to place Rep. Morgan Moulder in the 4th District was defeated 71 to 78, and Jackson County voters opposed placing Moulder with Rep. William J. Randall in the same district. The House considered a Senate approved bill, a committee substitute, and a House substitute that would let each district nominate 2 candidates for Congress, with the top 10 advancing. The eighth district shift created by one amendment risked altering party balance. Rep. William C. Phelps proposed grouping Kansas City factions with Independence capital to concentrate control, but the plan failed 88 to 53. Senate actions included raises for judges and funding for memorials and patrols.
