Senate Balks
On Dirksen
Apportionment
WASHINGTON (UPI) —The
Senate rejected Sen. Everett M.
Dirksen's attempt Wednesday
to nullify the Supreme Court’s
ruling requiring state legisla
tures to be apportioned on
population basis. The vote was
55 to 38.
The defeat, the Illinois
Republican’s third on the issue,
was on a proposed constitution
al amendment which would
have permitted one House of a
state legislature to be appor
tioned on some basis other than
population.
The tally was seven votes shy
of the two-thirds majority
required for such amendments:
Senate Democratic Leader
Mike Mansfield, Mont., said
“this will be the end of ft,”
although Dirksen had reiterated
moments earlier ‘‘this issue is
not going to die.”
Other congressional news:
Postal: President Johnson
asked Congress for an extra $25
million appropriation Wednes
day for Post Office Department
hiring of personnel needed to
handle rising mail volume.
Fi n ance: The Senate voted 63
to 21 to expand the staff of its
finance committee and triple
its $70,000 annual budget,
despite the objection of Sen.
John J. Williams, R-Del. The
ranking committee Republican
said the expansion was not
needed, and Congress should
set a good erthmple by cutting
spending on its own activities.

man demanding the investiga

wanted to tell us what to find
and what to bring back,” Bol
ton said.
