Decision Revamping
Elections Aided Bill
By JACK BELL
Of tin Anoclittd Preia
WASHINGTON The Su
preme Court declilons for re
vamping atate voting systems
appear to have borne lomo
early congreaslonal fruit for the
big citiea.
When the Senate paaaed the
administration (379 million
maas-transit bill Thursday by a
8241 vote, there was evidence
ome changea have been made.
Sens. Richard B. Russell and
Herman E. Talmadge, Georgia
Democrats who voted against a
Srovlsion ot the 1961 omnibus
ousing bill which would have
provided $30 million in mass
transit grants, joined with 44
other Democrats and six Re
publicans in supporting the
measure.
Russell and Talmadge obvious
ly had their own reasons for
rejecting the contention ot 17
' Democrats and 24 Republicana
that the bill Involves the kind
of federal apending to which the
Georglane usually are opposed,
Sponsor! of the measure had
pot counted on their backing.
Aides said the senators got a
great deal of mail from Atlanta
for the bill and little oppoaitlon
man.
There was no dispute that At
lanta wanted a slice of the mass-
transit funds and that Atlanta
votera now have a lot more to
aay about who is elected In
Georgia than they used to.

cision outlawed the Georgia

vored rural voters. Under that
system the eight most populous
counties, Including Atlanta, had
six units. Thirty other counties
had four units and more than a
hundred less populous counties
two each.
The candidates who got the
majority of the 410 units won
statewide primary elections,
even if an opponent got more
popular votes. This happened
when Talmadgo's father, Eu

governor. He trailed in the pop

Heaviest Trading
Stock Market Has Greatest Advance of Year
NEW YORK UK The stock
market last week rolled up its
biggest advance of the year and
did so on the heaviest trading
since January.
Stock prices surged to their
highest levels of 1963, based on
the popular market averages.
The strong performance
ended six weeks of "watching-and-waiting"
as argument sput
tered in Wall Street as to
whether the market would break
out of a narrow trading range
to the upside or downside.
Some prominent analysts pre
dicted a sharp decline. Tues
day, it looked as if they might
turn out to be right. The list
backed away from an assault on
the mid-February recovery peak
and fell on news that U. S.
Steel, Bethlehem and five other
companies had been indicted by
a federal grand jury on charges
of conspiring to fix prices of
steel products.
This was the same kind of
news that accompanied the
sharp plunge of last spring.

1027 WILLAMETTE
Since January
On the very next day, how
ever, the long-awaited report on
the recurities industry by the
Securities & Exchange Commis
sion was made public. It was
one of Wall Street's overhang
ing worries.
The SEC report, however,
seemed surprisingly mild to
those in the financial commu
nity. The sharpest barbs were
leveled at the vast over-the-counter
market, rather than to
the organized stock exchanges.
The commission reported to
Congress that the markets are
free of "pervasive fraudulent
activity."
tONBO MIIIOM
Stocks rallied on the New
York Stock Exchange that day.
The average broke through the
mid-February barrier in vigor
ous style and surged to new
peaks for 1963.
Thursday, the market bettered
its highs for the year, aided by
news that unemployment in
March had its largest monthly
drop in more than four years
and by word of record depart
ment store sales in March.
The market seemed "tired"
early Friday, but gathered re
newed strength and climbed to
still another new peak for the
year. Wall Street seemed heart
