Funeral Home with burial in Greenwood Cemetery. Survivors wife Estellc; daughter Mrs.

Velma Berk-holz; son Robert L. The 19G7 Legislature, with a Republican dominated House and a Democratic-dominated Senate, couldn't agree on a new congressional map. Neither could the special committees which met, off and on, for the rest of 1967. In February, the court issued its own plan. Republican Judges Cale J.

Holder and Win G. Knoch approved it; Democratic Judge S. Hugh Dil-lin dissented. Democrats said it would cut the "safe" Democratic districts to four and called it the "Valentine's Day massacre." Only four Democratic congressmen were elected in 1968. Once again, the 1970 census will throw a whole new light on congressional districts.

Even the number of Indiana's congressmen could be changed, if the state's proportion of the total U.S. population changes markedly. This story may have seemed complicated. But it is a simplified version without detailing the court moves, political charges and behind-the-scenes maneuvers. Suffice it to say politicians don't like to mess with the districts they know.

But they're going to have to mess with them again in 1971. And there's no guarantee it'll be any simpler than it was all through the 1960s. He left school at. 12 and went to work for the the predecessor of the United States Rubber Co. For 39 years before his retirement 10 years ago.

The nation's highest court has decreed your vote must mean no more, and no less, than any other citizen's. The matter won't settle down until after the 1970 census. And it might not settle down until well into the 1970s. Hoosier politics being what it is, reapportionment has kept failing in the Legislature and going to the courts. And Hoosier politicians being what they are, the courts are generally charged with "politics" after issuing their decisions.

Let's look at the record. The push for reapportioning the Legislature began building in the late 1950s. Indiana's legislature hadn't reapportioned itself since 1921, even though the state Constitution required reapportionment every six years. The 1959 Legislature created a study commission to report back in 1961, and the legislators looked forward to at least one more election in their long-established districts. But the public's attention had been brought to the gross inequities among Indiana's legislative districts.

And, like a flaw in a wallpaper job, the inequities couldn't be ignored once they had been pointed out. Former state Sen. Nelson Grills, D-Indianapolis, filed a Superior Court suit to force reapportionment later in 1959. The suit dragged on and on, and the 1961 Legislature met and failed to act on reapportionment. Then Superior Court Judge John F.

Linder of Indianapolis ruled the Legislature was illegaly constituted because it had failed to reapportion itself. In August. 1961, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a Federal Court suit to block elections based on the 1921 map. A three-judge Federal panel was named to consider the suit. The state asked that it delay its findings until after the 1963 session.

Gov. Matthew E. Welsh vetoed the 1963 Legislature's plan and the supporters couldn't muster the votes to override his veto. The legislators, held in a special session to enact a state budget, couldn't agree on another plan. The 1965 Legislature passed a plan and Grills and the American Civil Liberties Union challenged it in Federal Court.

The court ruled it unconstitutional that August and gave the state until Dec. 1 to enact a new plan. Gov. Roger D. Branigin called a special session.

The Legislature, unable to agree again, passed four plans for each house and asked the court to choose. The court chose the second choice Senate plan and the third choice House plan. Those are the plans which Indianapolis Democrats successfully challenged this year because of the large multimember districts in metropolitan areas. The present three-judge panel all Democrats-ruled them illegal because they deny minority groups adequate representation. But the judges ruled that the new remap must be based on 1960 census figures, because no detailed population studies for the entire state have been taken since then.

So, assuming that a new plan will be in effect for the 1970 elections, the 1971 Legislature will have to tackle the problem again because of population shifts revealed by the 1970 census. The tangled web of legislative reapportionment is almost matched by the complexities of congressional reapportionment. In 1964, court suits were filed challenging Indiana's congressional district map. Population ranged from a low of 290,596 in the 9th District to 697,567 in the 11th. The courts delayed action until after the 1965 Legislature met.

in hopes the legislators could agree. The 1965 Legislature, dominated bv Democrats, drew up a congressional map which created four "safe" Democratic districts, and two "leaning" Democratic. A tliree-iudce Federal panel unheld it in 1966. But two of the judges "strongly suggested" the 1967 Legislature revise it to correct population inequities. The U.S.

Supreme Court had other ideas. It overruled the approval and sent the case back for further consideration. Hamilton Rites Wednesday Mrs. Pearl Hamilton, 86, of 39 S. Brentwood, died yesterday in Community Hospital.

SSSSSr of hibtoiv hikI scenic: rw.njty BnuliDVjicI Pldce apolis, Indiana 4(3203 i it I s-: ITS BUBBLY What's In That Tiny Bottle? Champagne in soft-drink size bottles? The Alcoholic Beverage Commission was asked today to amend a regulation to permit the sale of both sparkling burgundy, and champagne in 6.2-ounce size, round bottles the equivalent of two glasses with caps like those on soft drink bottles. The proposal also would include pink champagne and "cold duck," a combination of sparkling burgundy and champagne. Sy Wolf, a Cincinnati winery representative who lives in Skokie, said each bottle probably would retail for about 92 cents, plus sales tax, and that six-packs might be possible. Indiana, he said, is the only state that doesn't permit it. The smallest size now permissible under state regulations is a 12.4-ounce, pint bottle.

No one showed up at today's public hearing to object to the request. ABC chairman John Smock said a commission decision may be made tomorrow.

Fickle and her children into a closet, and fled with more than $1,000. Police were called when Mrs. Fickle's husband returned a few minutes later.
