Survey Reports Ruling
To Alter Congress Little
WASHINGTON - The entrance of the Supreme Court into the
long-avoided "political thicket" should only slightly alter the "philo-
sophical" composition of Congress, according to a Washington Post
news analysis.
In 1962 the court ruled that the judiciary could act to end cases
of malapportionment of state legislatures. Yesterday it said the same'
about malapportioned congressional districts. Justice John M. Harlan
dissented, charging the decision
"swept a host of questions under
the rug."
"The first decision has, in a
very short time, resulted in im-
portant but still incomplete
changes which have done a lot to
rectify the over-representation of
rural areas in state capitals. The
second decision will do the same
for Congressional districts though
how quickly is not immediately
. clear.

'CRITICAL AND URGENT'
U.S. Ambassador Urges
Peace Force for Cyprus
UNITED NATIONS (A) - The United States urged the United
Nations Security Council yesterday to promote speedy agreement on
an international peacekeeping force for Cyprus in consultation with
United Nations Secretary-General U Thant.
Declaring that peace in the Mediterranean is at stake, Ambassa-
dor Adlai E. Stevenson told the council the need for such a force is
"critical and urgent.' He said the world cannot stand idly by and

" witness "a fire that is consuming
Cyprus" which can spread rapid-
ly beyond the shores of that
strife-torn Mediterranean island
republic.
Soviet Demands
Stevenson spoke after Soviet
Delegate Nikolai T. Fedorenko'
voiced a demand that the council
safeguard the territorial integrity,
unity and independence of Cyprus
without regard to any treaties
that country has with Britain,
Turkey or Greece.
Stevenson asserted that the
treaties formed an integral part
of the framework which now guar-
antees the independence of Cy-
prus, and they cannot be nullified
or modified by any action of the
Security Council.
He denied charges by Fedorenko
that the North Atlantic Treaty
powers are threatening the inde-
pendence of Cyprus, where Greek
and Turkish elements in the pop-
ulation have been fighting each
other off and on since late Decem-
ber.
Appeals to Council
Stevenson appealed to the coun-
cil "to go straight to the point
where we can be most helpful, and
promote an international agree-
ment on a peace force for Cyprus."
He said this may require the in-
troduction into the consultations
of an expert in the field, "and no
one better can be obtained" than
the Secretary-General.
Thant has proposed in a private
memorandum that the peace force
be made up of British Common-
wealth countries and some non-
aligned nations, and the naming
of a mediator.

Says Leader
Forced Into
Resignation
Tight Curfew Ordered
In Capital of Libreville
LIBREVILLE, Gabon (P) -
French troops flown in from near-
by African nations yesterday
snuffed out a 24-hour-old revolu-
tionary regime and restored Leon
Mba, who had been imprisoned
in the presidential palace, as Ga-
bon's chief of state.
French officials dismissed the
fact that Mba, an old friend of
French President Charles de
Gaulle, had signed and broadcast
his resignation. They said he acted
under duress.
A tight curfew was ordered in
effect in Libreville from 8 p.m. to
7 a.m. A radio announcer warned
that patrols would fire on anyone
except soldiers and police.
Army Officer Revolt
The revolt led by army officers,
with the support of at least some
police elements, collapsed when
French troops took control of the
presidential palace late yesterday.
The Libreville radio announced
"all the rebels have surrendered."
The French foreign ministry in
Paris said France acted in re-
sponse to a request for help trans-
mitted through diplomatic chan-
nels. A mutual protection treaty
pledges French help for Gabon for
maintaining internal security and
protection against external attack.
The foreign ministry said Mba
has been escorted to a provincial
town and that as soon as he re-
turns to Libreville, the role of
the French troops will be over.
Quick Turn of Events
Radio broadcasts from Libreville
and private advices received in the
Congo Republic told of the quick
turn of events in Gabon, a steam-
ing, Colorado-sized former French
colony on Africa's west coast
where junior officers of a 450-man
army led a revolt Tuesday.

LANSING (RI - The Legisla-
ture yesterday had a series of 1963
appropriations bills ready for use
as "vehicles" to carry it around an
obstacle created by the new Con-
stitution.
The 12 proposals were intro-
Sees Trend
In Medicine
FLINT (R) - Charles J. Tup-
per, associate dean of the medical
school, predicted here Tuesday
that "within our lifetime" there
will be merger of medical doctors
and osteopaths in Michigan.
Dean Tupper, speaking before
the Michigan State Pharmaceuti-
cal Association, forecast that by
1975 there will be a national need
for 3600 more medical graduates
each year than are now being
turned out.
By 1970, he said, 14-20 new
medical schools should be built.
He estimated the cost at a billion
dollars.
He opposed, at least for the
present, establishment of a medi-
cal school at Michigan State.
DOUBLES LEAGUE 

duced by Rep. Harold Hungerford,
(R-Lansing), a member of. the
House Ways and Means commit-
tee, as lawmakers prepared also
to set back their deadlines to cope
with what could prove to be a
record number of proposals.
Legislative action has been
stalled to some extent by a pro-
vision of the Constitution which
bars committee action on bills ap-
propriating new money until the
budget bills introduced by the gov-
ernor are passed or rejected.
Governor's Budget
Gov. George W. Romney's pro-
posed $622.7 million budget for
1964-65 was introduced in bill
form Monday night, and cannot
be acted upon at least until the
bills are printed, a matter of sev-
eral days.

JOHN M. HARLAN
POVERTY:
Requests Aid
In Education
WASHINGTON (RP) - Assistant
Health-Education-Welfare Secre-
tary Wilbur J. Cohen, University
sociology professor on leave here,
yesterday recommended several
measures for improving education
as the first line of attack on na-
tional poverty.
Among his proposals were the
recommendations to 1) establish
special community educational
centers for potential school drop-
outs and 2) set up a work-study
program available to needy stu-
dents in high school as well as
college.

Disputes Liberal Hope
However, a Congressional Quar-
terly survey made in 1962 dis-
putes the liberal hope that malap-
portionment loses the liberal bloc
about 40 House seats. "Ideal ap-
portionment," the survey con-
cludes, "might result in no change
whatever in the current (1962)
liberal-conservative balance in the
House."
The survey estimated that rural
areas would lose 27 seats, but that
only seven of these would be
picked up by traditionally liberal
urban areas. The 20 remaining
seats would go to predominantly
independent-minded suburbia -
presently the most underrepre-
sented area.
According to the survey, urban
areas in the East, usually repre-
sented by liberals, would lose four
House seats whereas suburban
areas, often held by Republicans
of whom more are conservative
than liberal, would gain eight.
'Political Thicket'
The Supreme Court for genera-
tions avoided entering what re-
tired Justice Felix Frankfurter
came to call "the political thick-
et." By that he meant to leave
reapportionment to the politicians
since in each case what has cus-
tomarily been required has been
an act of the state legislature
working, usually, with the govern-
or.

ADMISSION FREE

Some legislative leaders have
theorized the answer would be to
"kill" the governor's bills quickly
by reporting them out of commit.
tee and then sending them back
This would free other money
proposals for action. The Romney
budget proposals could then be
amended to "vehicles" waiting in
committee for that purpose.
Joint Powers
Meanwhile, a plan for giving
joint powers of subpoena to the
governor and the attorney genera
was filed in bill form in the Legis.
lature Tuesday.
The proposal, to be introduced
with bi-partisan support, was filed
on behalf of Atty. Gen. Frank
Kelley, who terms the proposa
"essential" to combatting organ-
ized crime.

To Decide
Sale BoyCott
MIAMI BEACH - A top federal
spokesman said yesterday it is now
up to labor leaders whether a $75
million United States wheat sale
to Russia will remain blocked by
a longshoremen's boycott.
Assistant Secretary of Labor
James J. Reynolds said it is too
late to guarantee that 50 per cent
of the wheat sold to Russia by
continental grain company will
be shipped in American vessels as
the longshoremen insist.
Reynolds said he had assured
labor leaders that in future wheat
shipments to Russia, 50 per cent
would be guaranteed for American
shipping except "in the most ex-
traordinary circumstances."'"
