Many States to Vote On Reapportionment Proposals
WASHINGTON—(UPI)In addition to electing officeholders, voters in most states will cast ballots tomorrow for or against a wide variety of constitutional amendments, referenda and other legislative propositions.
In about a fourth of the states, interest will center on reapportionment or redistricting proposals designed to give urban voters more equitable representation in legislative bodies.
West Virginia voters will weigh the sale of liquor by the drink (alcoholic beverages are now sold only through state monopoly stores). Idaho voters are asked to repeal an old restriction which forbids foreign-born Chinese to vote, serve as jurors or hold public office. Washington will act on a proposal to allow aliens to own land in the state.
FIVE STATES—Rhode Island, Kansas, Maryland, Utah and West Virginia—will consider higher pay for members of their state legislatures.
Washington, Virginia, Texas and Wyoming will act on constitutional amendments designed to provide for emergency functioning of the state government in case of nuclear attack.
The rash of reapportionment proposals can be attributed to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling, earlier this year, that federal courts may require a state to correct gross inequities in representation in its legislative bodies.

IN MANY STATES, ancient apportionment schemes have given thinly-populated rural areas disproportionate power in legislatures compared to fast-growing cities.
Plans for reapportionment of state legislatures will be on the ballot in California, Colorado, Florida, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Washington and West Virginia.
Maryland voters will act on a constitutional amendment to divide the state into eight congressional districts instead of seven. Georgia's electorate will pass on a new method of electing members of the recently-reapportioned state senate. In Hawaii, voters of Honolulu County will act on a geographical adjustment of state legislative districts.
ALSO ON THE ballot in at least three states (Washington, Idaho and Kansas) are proposals to reduce residence requirements for voting.
Southern concern about desegregation of public schools is reflected in a Georgia proposition to authorize payment of state tuition grants to students who attend private schools because their public schools have been integrated. Louisiana voters will also be asked to authorize financial aid to children attending "non-sectarian" private schools.
California's Communist control law—placed on the ballot by initiative petition as a constitutional amendment—would bar members of "subversive organizations" from holding public jobs of any kind, and would require teachers to answer questions of legislative investigators about their affiliations.
Proponents have argued that California is a "prime target" of Communist machinations, and that the law is necessary to plug loopholes in its defenses against subversion.
Opponents contend that it would hand over to extremists the legal weapons to destroy constitutional liberty.

Soviet-Cuban Talks Search For Common Crisis Policy
HAVANA — (UPI) — Soviet First Deputy Premier Anastas Mikovar huddled with Cuban Premier Fide Castro for nearly six hours yesterday in the second round of talks designed to "settle differences" in Soviet-Cuban relations.
A new round of talks between Mikoyan and Cuban leaders was scheduled for today at the national palace. No statement was issued after the Soviet trouble-shooter left yesterday's long session at the palace.
Topics for discussion have not been spelled out, but the timing of Mikoyan's arrival indicated a key point was international inspection to verify removal of Soviet missile bases from Cuba. The Russians have agreed to such inspection but Castro has refused to permit any
international inspection team to enter Cuba.
The official press again emphasized yesterday Castro's "five points" for peace between the United States and Cuba. The five points call for American withdrawal from the Guantanamo naval base, lifting of the naval blockade, discontinuance of surveillance overflights, ending of economic sanctions and a halt to subversive activities and raids against Cuba organized on U.S. soil.
