Missouri Supreme Court OKs Senate Districts Compactness Ruling
The Missouri Supreme Court, in a 5-2 decision, upheld the constitutionality of the 34 senatorial districts, ruling some noncompact features in the 6th and 33rd districts acceptable within the statewide plan. Justice Henley noted unavoidable noncompactness but reaffirmed legislative discretion in apportionment. Dissenting Justice Finch argued all districts must meet contiguity compactness and population equality, citing the 6th district as clearly noncompact.

Picketing May Block Mine Return in West Virginia
Coal miners returned to some southern West Virginia mines but picketing could halt sustained back to work. At Za pata Coal Co. in Logan County, about 200 men were kept from the hoot-owl shift while other regions began operations after more than a month idle. The wildcat walkout has idled up to two thirds of the nation’s 125,000 soft coal miners, with support for returning to work growing though many miners avoid crossing picket lines.
