The piece notes Senator Dirksen and other conservatives lost to a bipartisan coalition led by Senator Kennedy and Howard Baker over a reapportionment bill. It cites a House plan delaying equalization to 1975 with a 30 percent cap and a Kennedy backed 10 percent cap. It argues gerrymandering harms Northern urban Black voters and urges true one man one vote as electoral reform.

Questions remain about reasonable fines and mandatory union membership implications.
