House OKs state redistricting plan on slim 63 62 vote
In Topeka AP Republicans and Democrats battled over a congressional redistricting bill. A GOP defection by Rep. J C Long from Harper switched the tally to 63 yes and 62 no, allowing Democrats to pass a plan that would split southeast Kansas, place Riley and Geary counties in different districts, and pair Pat Roberts and Dick Nichols in one district. Rep. Tom Love had signaled opposition earlier.
