Better put an Alka-Seltzer in your baggy. Beacon Journal Columbus Burton COLUMBUS An unsuccessful last-minute attempt to avoid a four-way split of Summit County produced bitter exchanges Thursday before the Ohio Senate completed action on a congressional redistricting bill. However, the House late last night fell short twice of obtaining the required 66 votes to approve the one Senate amendment, involving an agreed exchange of territory between two congressmen in Cuyahoga County. If the Senate insists today on keeping the amendment, the dispute would be sent to a conference committee to be resolved.

THE SENATE amendment divides Parma into two districts, the 20th now represented by Democrat James Stanton of Cleveland and the 23rd now represented by Republican William E. Minshall of Lakewood. Neither the House version the "open-hearth fire" spectacle at the old Spicer School at Akron University.

Gilligan. incumbent congressmen and legislative leaders of both parties. The compromise was drawn to favor 16 Republicans and seven Democrats, mostly incumbents. Districts must be set in time for candidates to meet the Feb. 2 filing deadline.

The bill contains an emergency clause making it effective immediately after it receives legislative approval and Gilli-gan's signature. THURSDAY'S Senate fireworks were touched off by an amendment proposed by Summit County's two senators, Oliver Ocasek (D-Northfield) and John Poda Jr. (D-Akron). They sought td change the House version by slicing up Summit County among only three districts, as presently exist, instead of four. Their plan would have knocked the 11th District out of Summit County and pulled the 14th District almost entirely out of Portage County back into Summit.

The area involved is Hudson, Stow and Silver Lake in Summit County and Kent and Brimfield in Portage County. SENATE Republican leader Theodore M. Gray of Piqua accused Senate Democrats of "blackmail" for insisting that the Summit County amendment be adopted as the price of Democratic support for helping to pass the bill as an emergency. The amendment lost along party lines, 18-12. However, four Democrats did join with the Republicans to provide the bare minimum 22 votes needed to approve the emergency section.

Gray then apologized to the Democrats. ONLY Cuyahoga and Summit among the' state's 88 counties are split up into four congressional districts under the new plan. However, only one incumbent congressman, Democrat John F. Seiberling of Akron (14th District) lives in Summit while four incumbents live in Cuyahoga. Besides Seiberling, incumbents who would share Summit County territory under the new district lines are Republican J.

Javits i New York Times Service LONDON- Thirty-three leading scientists warned today that to avoid a world environmental catastrophe, Britain must soon stop building roads, tax the use of power and raw materials and eventually cut her population by half.

In a document called "Blueprint for Survival," the scientists declared: current trends are allowed to persist, the breakdown of society and the irreversible disruption of the life-support systems on this planet possibly by the end of the century, certainly within the lifetime of our children are inevitable." INSTEAD of industrialization and growth, the statement said, our aim should be "a stable society." It would be characterized by steady or declining population, decentralized living and strict limits on the use of resources. A detailed program for reaching that goal was set out in 22 pages of the magazine, The Ecologist. A statement of support was signed by the 33 scientists, who said each agreed with the basic principles if not every detail. Among them were Sir Julian Huxley, the biologist; C. H.

An inch of snow was measured at the airport, with reports up to three inches in Northern Summit County.

Under current law, candidates for delegates to national party conventions must be listed alphabetically. The change will permit a voter to cast a single Vote for an entire block of delegate candidates. The Senate now must approve minor House amendments before the bill goes to Gilligan for signing.

Calabrese said the information he gave Gray was correct at the time, but there were a few "switch hitters" among the Democrats.
