California Supreme Court plan settles reapportionment delay
SACRAMENTO The California Supreme Court unveiled a court ordered master plan for reapportionment to take effect after hearings this fall, through 1980, postponing long fight over districts. Sen. Arlen Gregorio proposed a constitutional amendment to replace legislative drawing with a 19 member commission chosen by lot from 50 nominees, with 30 weeded by parties. He said gerrymandering and self interest hinder reform, and he plans to press the measure again in January after Senate defeat 22-16.
