Remap Plan Blasted By Robert Kennedy
Washington AP Sen Robert F Kennedy says a proposed constitutional amendment on legislative reapportionment enshrines inequality as a virtue and would curb equal representation. Senator John Tower defends state choice and opposes federal overreach as Dirksen seeks two thirds to advance the plan. Debate centers on the 1964 Supreme Court ruling requiring population based apportionment. Dirksen predicts victory. Proxmire claims at least 34 votes to block or pass.
