MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) Memphis, Republican congressman Dan Kuykendall. says if Democrats want to see him as their governor, redistricting him out of Congress is the way to do it. As part of the re battle that is shaping up around Kuykendall, a group of supporters said Tuesday they will go into U.S. District Court in Nashville today or Thursday and ask that the question be settled by the court, not the Democrat-controlled legislature.

The day also saw black leaders in Memphis call on legislators to reject the existing remap plan. Because the 1970 census showed Tennessee lagged behind growth of other states, the state this year will be cut back from nine to eight congressmen. Under an existing bill, passed last year in the state House but not in the Senate, Kuykendall's area would be re-drawn so. it would become Democratic. Memphis lawyer and GOP leader Lewis R.

Donelson III, who will file the federal suit, said Tuesday night the action will be based on grounds that the legislature's re-districting, lation inaccuracies. Kuykendall was in Memphis Monday as a host for the visit of U. S. Housing and Urban Development Secretary George Romney and told The Associated Press, "If the Democrats want to make me governor, redistricting me out of office is the way to do it." "Do the Democrats really think that if defeated because of re districting it will end my political career? They really should be prepared to take their choice. I'll be happy serving in Congress for another 10 years or I'll be governor of tennessee.

You can count on that," he said. Donelson said the suit will be brought in the name of Dr. Kyle Creson, a physician who has been nominated to succeed Alex Dann as Shelby County GOP chairman. He said the -court will be asked to set the boundaries of the new 8th Congressional District as it did once before. Robert Walker, a lawyer associated with Donelson, said there were population errors in 46 of the county's 197 precincts.

In the 3rd Precinct of Ward 16, for instance, Walker said the bill before the legislature lists the population as 1,059, while voter rolls show 1,392 precinct. "The census bureau does not count the population by wards and precincts and the planning commission--in transferring the figures from census some major errors," said Walker. Kuykendall has offered an alternate plan that has caught the fancy of black leaders and legislators in Memphis. Under it, Shelby County would be divided in such a way that Kuykendall would easily win in one district and the other district would be Democratic, with a black majority. That would assure election of a black congressman.

Tuesday, the Memphis branch of the NAACP called on Shelby County members of the General Assembly to reject the existing plan that would defeat Kuykendall and -elect a Democrat in his place, although not a black "We therefore call on you to support only those proposals that divide 'Shelby into two parts with the division between districts drawn from north to south," said the NAACP letter to legislators.

Gary Weatherford, an employe at Lee's Phillips 66 at the intersection of North Second Street and Riverside Drive, said he was talking on the phone and listening to the police monitor radio when the driver of the car walked in, "When he walked in and asked me the directions to Nashville, it sort of scared me," Weatherford said.

In connection with the equalization of courses, every effort is being made to equalize the program from the standpoint of library books, instructional materials and equipment. Much progress was made toward this goal in the past year. A policy on line and staff relationship provides opportunities for each employee of the school system to make his problems and wishes known. For example, in response to the request of the local Education Association, policy formulation involves the thinking of teachers, principals and staff as well as the Board of Education. The leadership of the school director and staff in implementing Board policies and constantly working toward the improvement of the educational program has resulted in more effective organization and coordination on a system wide basis.

The Board has been especially pleased with the cooperative attitude and support of the community. Perhaps the most encouraging and rewarding aspect of the first year's work has been the ever increasing expressions of a positive nature relative to the work of the Board and staff in the improvement of education. In 1972, the Board shall continue to exert every effort in faithfully fulfilling the charge which has been given them by the community. speak," said Appleton.

But the cutback will seriously affect the inter-city interstate. loops in Nashville, Knoxville, and Memphis as well as completion of a section of Interstate 155 near Dyersberg, Appleton said. "We have been aware of this for some time, but have just now worked out the schedule of affected interstates and where the cutbacks will be suffered," said Appleton.

There could be no strikes or lockouts for 18 months. The vote came after the announcement in San Francisco of the tentative bargaining agreement. A union committee is to meet Saturday to set a date for the ratification vote and determine whether the 13,000 men on strike will return to work in the meantime. The fact that the strike will continue at least until Saturday, and could go on after that if ratification fails, prompted Congress.
