RALEIGH (AP) A bill'to. realign North Carol ilia's con-' gressional districts that' sailed easily through the Senate has brought a sharp division lo the House Congressional Dislricls Committee. This has been strongly, evident in the last two meetings of the committee, which broke up with no action taken, At the last session no action was taken despite the effort of the. committee chairman Rep.

Horton Hounlree, who favors the bill, to prod the committee into acting. An Associated Press survey in which 15 of the 22 committee embers were contacted showed six strongly favoring Ihe Senate bill with three opposed and six others undecided. The strongest opposition came from legislators from the congressional 4lh District. These legislators are unhappy about the bill because it would 'shift Democratic Orange County into the 2nd District and leave Democratic Rep. Nick Galifianakis more vulnerable to Republican attack.

One of these legislators was Hop. George Miller, D-Durham, who has come up with an alternate plan that he says would result in a lower population variation among districts than provided in the Scnalc. bill. The Miller proposal would shiTl 27 counties from one district to another as compared with 10 thot would be shifted under the Senate bill. -Miller's plan also would place two Republican congressmen.

Carl Venters, D-Onslow; Jim Holshouser, R-Watauga; Allen Bnr- bce, D-Nash; Clarence Lcather- DrLincoln; Ernest lies- scr, D-Haywood; and Harold Hardison, D-Lcnoir. Opposing it in addition to Miller were Reps.

Sen. Frank Moss, D-Utoh, made the comment Wednesday as lie introduced a bill lo prohibit unsolicited mailing bl cigarette samples.

led the light last year for passage of legislation to ban cigarette advertising on radio and television. The ban took effect Jan. 2. In the weeks since then, Moss said, the tobacco industry has turned to new methods of promotion, such as ads in the print media, use of billboards and "the bombardment of promotional materials for new brands aimed at women." "Coupled with this," he added, "the industry is unleashing a broad scale, unsolicited mailing of cigarette samples to millions of homes." Horace ft. Kornogay, president of Tobacco Institute, said the distribution of sample cigarettes through the mail cannot be called a practice of the entire industry as the Utah senator charged.

Kornegay said in a statement: "The current distribution has been carried on by one company only and it has been doing so for several years. We havo been informed that this company discpntinued this practice on Feb. 26." He said none of the other cigarette companies are engaged in practice and have no plans lo do so. However, Kornegay added, the practice is hardly bizarre or novel, as rarely a day passes thai some product or other is not received in the mail by consumers. publican chairman in addition to befog leader of the Republican joint caucus in the General Assembly, said he was "inclined lo be loose" about Ihe Senate bill but "I'm generally in favor of it." "I'm very much in favor ot it just as it passed the Senate," said Hardison.

"It makes Ihe least changes, upsets the least people of any combination we could get." "That dog won't run," said Davis of the Senate bill. "We can come up with a better plan." Harris said Ihe Senate proposal was all right from Ihe standpoint ol Ihe 6th District but he fell it could be improved from the standpoint of other "I feel with a little more lime and more opportunity to dis- cuss things we might come out with a bill acceptable to everyone and. closer lo the standards laid down by Ihe courts," Harris added. Spcros expressed concern that if the Senalo rcdistricting proposal is enacted by the House it might be attacked in the courts. He noted lhal Miller's proposal comes a "lot closer than the Senate bill" lo meeting Ihe Supreme Court's one-man, one-vote doctrine.

"I'm very unhappy wilh the placement of Orange County in the 2nd District," said Andrews, who added that he doesn't know bow he will vote. "I realize any bill we come up with is going to leave some dissatisfied people." "I feel this is a fair approach and I believe the deviation would meet tho standards of our courts," said "I still think it Is incumbent oa us to look at other plans."
