Critics Pan Meredith Apportionment Bill As Unfair
The author denounces a Senate plan for Congressional district changes as a mess for the 27th, arguing Republicans in the area reject the proposal. Warren county would move to the 30th, Erie and Crawford to the 29th, Lawrence and others to the 28th, with McKean and Cameron joining the 17th. A House bill adding Forest and Clarion to the current district is favored as fairer, suggesting Elk and Forest as better additions. The Senate plan is described as lacking sense, fairness, and policy.

The article reviews Rear Admiral Meade resigning from command of the North Atlantic squadron and condemns the administration's foreign policy. It notes Meade's 45 years of service, his clash with navy department decisions, and his call for American patriotism and autonomous policy. Don M.
