(AP India To Catch Efed Spacecraft By LESTER N. INSKEEP An almost overlooked political fact insofar as the aver age voter is concerned is that the present apportionment of the Legislature will continue through the 1968 election year, unless the Legislature should repeal a reapportionment act passed earlier this year. Acting under an order from a three-judge panel, the Legislature this year passed a new law revising the number of le gislative districts but in such manner as to assure continued domination by the Republicans or so the Democrats say, So certain are the Democrats of this that they have filed ini tiative petitions calling for repeal of the new act by the vot ers in the 1968 general election. Ana, since they had more than enough signatures to assure placing the question on the bal lot, the present apportionment remains in effect until the will of the voters can be determined at that time, This leaves in effect the legislative districts six in Pima County alone exactly as they were at the time of the last election. Presumably this condition will continue through the 1968 election unless: 1.

The federal court should determine that the reapportionment act passed by the present Republican-controlled Legislature is unreasonable and fails to follow the U.S. Supreme Court's one-man, one-vote edict. 2. The Legislature, facing the probability of repeal of its 1967 act by the voters, should repeal it at its second regular session starting Jan. 8, 1968 and write a new bill substantially differing from the one scheduled for a crucial test at the polls.

Unless that new bill differed substantially it is probable that the Democrats could have it upset by the court. In any event, the situation as it now exists is that the 1967 act is stalled by the initiative petitions and that this leaves the court-ordered districts as they are. This gives Pima County, second largest in the state, six senators (it previous ly had two) and 12 House mem bers (it previously had 17). The existing House is com posed ot bo members, compared with a previous 80, and a Senate of 30 members, com pared with a previous 28, or two from each county. Because the Supreme Court decreed that both the House and Senate should be based upon population, the rural areas lost their domination of the Senate but thi- does not ne cessarily mean that agriculture lost control, several members of both bodies being large farmers living in urban areas, The Democrats engineered the initiative because they be lieve they have a better chance of regaining control under the court plan.

They say there would be almost no hope under the Legislative act, in which gerrymandering ran ramp ant, ending up with some strangely arranged districts which were designed to defeat (Continued on 2A, col. 1) port for South Vietnam and for the new government that took office here Sunday. "I come as witness for those millions of Americans who trust in the steady progress being made in Vietnam as sym bolized by this inauguration," Humphrey told a welcoming cadre of South Vietnamese troops at the airport. "Those Americans, like myself, are confident you will presevere in the face of aggression and sub version." A South Vietnamese brass band played "The Star Spangled Banner" and "Thanh Nien Hanh Khuc" to the the South Vietnamese national anthem, as Humphrey and Ky stood solemnly side by side on a platform guarded by armed troops, American and South Vietnamese. Humphrey and his party were then whisked downtown to the new American embassy by helicon ter.

Security arrangements for the vice president's visit have NEW DELHI, India (AP) The Soviet Union will launch a manned spaceship soon, and it may land outside Soviet territory, possibly in India, Moscow's ambassador to India said Sunday. Attend been unusually strict, according to observers here. Three American fighter planes escorted Air Force Two into Vietnam. In addition to dozens of armed troops, two American soldiers in a jeep armed with a machine gun escorted the big jet down the ruaway to the ter minal, machine gun trained straight ahead.

Humphrey will visit the Vietnamese countryside during the next three days; the locations are being kept secret to avoid risking a Viet Cong at tack. South Vietnam will observe National Day, commemorating the overthrow of President Ngo Dinh Diem on November 1, the day after the inauguration. During last year's celebration, terrorists fired recoilless rifles into a parade and killed 13 per sons. Humphrey is not scheduled to attend the National Day observ ance. He will travel into the countryside, presumably to vis it American troops and, per haps, pacification projects.

But Mansfield said Congress would have to face the tax problem again next year if it fails to act now.

He added, "I'm sorry, because I feel that a tax bill is necessary." Mansfield said the public would "pay far more in the way of increased prices" if Congress fails to pass the tax measure to curb inflation. Mansfield is the highest-rank ing administration leader to have conceded publicly that there is little chance of passage before Congress quits for the year although some executive department officials have been acknowledging this privately for sometime.
