Memphis World Memphis World Publishing Co. 1967-02-25 J. A. Beauchamp 22 States Face Congressional Redistricting, Thompson Says Up to 22 states — including Georgia — face possible Congressional re-districting under recent U. S. Supreme Court decisions Georgia Fifth District congressman Fletcher Thompson warned today. "Three recent Supreme Court decisions involving Indiana, Florida and Missouri indicate the court may not allow a population variance of as much as 10 per cent between districts to meet the 'oneman, one - vote' rule," Thompson said. "If this line of decisions is followed in the future, redistricting could be required in some 297 Congressional districts, including four in Georgia, and this could lead to a chaotic situation," Thompson said.' 'It would require Georgia to redistrict again even though we held to a 15 per cent maximum of disparity In 1964." In the Indiana case, the court knocked out a re-districting plan that kept variance between districts to 12.8 per cent. The Congressman said the Supreme court also overruled a Missouri plan in which the disparity was within 10.4 pet cent or the state average. He pointed out that the court's action might not have been ren dered, if the Congress had established a population variance standard in 1965. That year the House passed a bill setting 15 per cent as the maximum variance but it was never acted on by the Senate. The court would not have been obligated to accept this standard but probably would have used 15 percent as a guide-line. We now have no standards and unless some are established and recognized by the court, we could find ourselves in the position of requiring no deviation between the districts which is very impracticable," the Congressman explained. States other than Georgia which could conceivably be affected by an allowable variance of only 10 per cent, Thompson said, are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and West Virginia. Thompson said the four Georgia districts varying from the state average by more than 10 per cent are the 6th, 15.5 per cent above the 7th, 14.3 per cent above; the 8th, 14.1 per cent below; and the 9th, 16.4 per cent below. ELEANOR An Episcopal minister "appalled" by the mounting divorce rate and what he calls a "tremendous breakdown in simple, ordinary living," gave his congregation a marriage checkup recently and laid down a new 10 commandments. The Rev. William J. Albert's, 57, as part of two separate Sunday morning services, asked married couples to stand up and repeat their marriage vows. In sermonizing to the couples and their families who crowded the church's pews he said "absolutely no one should ever get married unless it Is for keeps." He then listed these 10 marriage commandments. 1. It there is something wrong, look inside yourself for the cause before you decide it is your partner who is wrong. 2. Contrary to the song, you did not marry an anger but a human being with lovable and petty characteristics - just like you. 3. Don't expect perfection from your partner until you are perfect yourself. 4. Keep marriage exciting by trying to be as tactful after marriage is before. 5. Talk things out. 6. Pray together and attend church together. 7. Use courtesy within as well as outside the family. 8. Remember that your partner is not always right; but he is always your partner. 9. Never take each other for granted. 10. Find something to admire in each other and say it often. Members of the congregation thought the idea was a good one. This happened in Media, Pennsylvania. Marriage is intended to bring joy. The married life is meant to be the happiest, fullest, purest, richest life. It is God's own ideal! of completeness. It was when He saw that it was not good for man to be alone that woman was made and brought to him to supply what was lacking. The divine intention therefore, is that marriage shall yield happiness and, that it shall add to the fullness if the life of both husband and wife; that neither shall lose, but that both shall gain. If in any case it fails to be a blessing, and yield joy, and a richer, fuller life, the fault cannot be with marriage itself, but with, those who under its shadow fail to fulfill its conditions. Marriage is a divine ordinance. It was part of God's original intention when He made man. It is not a mere human arrangement, something that sprang up in the race as a convenience along the history of the ages. It was not devised by any earthly law giver. It is not a habit into which men fell in, the early days. The stamp of Divine intention and ordination is upon it. As a human relationship it is the closest and most sacred on earth. (By J. R.

To Halt Farmers' Forced Removal The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has urged the Federal government to intervene in behalf of 80 Clarendon, County, S. C. Negroes threatened with eviction from their property to provide additional acreage for a wildlife refuge. "The white people apparently think more of wildlife and hunting than they do of the Negro families that will have to move from properties purchased by them through years of hard work, blood and sweat," Billy S. Fleming, president of the Manning S. C., NAACP Branch, said after disclosing that the families were being ordered to move "immediately." In an attempt to halt the displacement of the Negro dirt farmers whose chief money crops include tobacco, cotton and soybeans, NAACP Executive Director Roy Wilkins urged Secretary of the Interior Stewart L. Udall to "stay further (displacement) proceedings, even if it means missing a season of duck hunting, pending equitable arrangements with and for displaced families." The land being sought by the government would be used to pro vide more than 1.000 additional acres for the Santee Wildlife Rofuse to raise game. Mr. Flemming said that most of the Negro property owners had already made farm loans for the coming year and had purchased supplies before being informed that they would have to vacate their land. "These people have farmed all their lives. How are they going to exist?" Mr. Flemming asked. "It's virtually impossible for Negroes to buy land down here. The whites have a closed market."

Man Accused Of Killing Evers Says He Run For Miss. Lt.Gov. Byron Dela Beckwith, the former fertilizer salesman accused of the ambush slaying of Negro leader Medgar Evers in 1963, Tuesday said he would-run as a "popular candidate" for Mississippi lieutenant governor in the 1967 elections. A newcomer to politics Beckwith emerged from his two mistrials in the Evers slaying with widespread popularity among segregationist groups and was expected to draw support from those areas. Beckwith, 45, said he was "offering myself as a candidate whose political position has already been clearly established." The thin, soft -spoken segregationist, a descendant of Jefferson Davis, was arrested a few days after Evers was shot from ambush outside his Jackson home June 12, 1963. He was brought to trial twice in 196 on murder charges but both trials ended with hung juries. Although the indictment against him was still pending, no further prosecution was expected. Beckwith was released on $10,000 bond following his second trial. Charles Evers, who-succeeded his brother as state NAACP field director, said he was not "surprised." at Beckwith's candidacy. "I hope the Mississippi people are not a sick as Byron is and I'm not surprised at him coming out. I hope the white people of Mississippi was not condone what he is accused of Evers said.

The conference may wish to propose some additional amendments to the proposals, said spokesmen, but for the present "we wish to hail the president of the determination and to pledge the support of more than 100 national organizations that participated in our work."

"But public order cannot be achieved solely at the end of a stick nor by confining one race to selperpetuating poverty," he added.

Y.; chairman of the House Judiciary Committee said he would go slow in scheduleing hearing until after action is taken on proposals for a national crime bill to curb riots and lawlessness.
