Many Legislatures
Facing Problem of
Reapportionment
Washington - IUPII - Many
slate legislaturei today laced
the prospect of a tug-of-war
between Democrats and Re
publicans trying to gain po
litical advantage from the re
shaping of congressional dis
tricts. Democrats appeared in the
best position to cash in on the
shakcup, required by the re
apportionment of House seats
based on the I960 census.
They control the governor
ship or legislature or both in
a majority of the 25 states
that gained or lost scats in
the rescufflc.
The reapportionment, an
nounced Tuesday by the Com
merce Department, takes ef
fect with the 1962 congres
sional election.
Nine Have Problem
Between now and then,
nine state legislatures will
have to grapple with the prob
lem of redrawing their con
gressional districts to accom
modate one or more new
House members. Sixteen
slates will have to realign
district boundaries to take
care of the loss of one or more
House seats.
The states that gained the
most in the reapportionment
are California, with eight new
House members, and Florida,
with four new seats. One new
seat each was awarded to
Arizona, Maryland, Michigan,
New Jersey, Hawaii, Ohio
and Texas.
Pennsylvania was the big
loser, dropping three mem
bcrs. New York, Massachu
setts and Arkansas each lost
two. One scat each was taken
from Alabama, Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky, Maine
Minnesota, Mississippi, Mis
souri, Nebraska, North Caro
lina and West Virginia.
Called Gerrymandering
The party in power in each
state legislature usually at
tempts to redraw congrcssion
al district boundaries so that
It will have the best chance to
win new seats or so that lost
seats will be taken from mem
hers of the opposition party
This is called gerrymander
ing.
Under federal law, if
state which lost scats failed
to decide on new compression
al districts by the 1962 elec
tlon, all of its House members
would be elected at large by
voters of the entire state.
If a state which gained
scats was unable to agree on
new districts, Its new mem
bers would be elected at large.

NEWEST ENGINE TESTED Scott Crossficld, North Amer
ican Aviation test pilot, emerges from the cockpit of the X15
following the first flight using the XLR99 engine with a
thrust of 97,000 pounds. The newer engine replaced a smaller
8,000 pound thrust power plant used In prior tests, in which
unofficial speed and altitude marks were set of 2,196 miles
per hour and 136,500 feet. (UPI Telcphoto)
Test Pilot Pleased
With Performance
Of Big X15 Engine
Edwards Air Force Base,
Calif. -IUPII- The man in the
pressurized flight suit climbed
from the cockpit of the mid
night black craft and happily
said. "We're in business."
The man was test pilot
Scott Crossficld and the craft
was the half airplane, half
rocketship X15.
It made its first flight Tucs
day with the world's most
powerful aircraft engine,
flight that was so successful
that Crossficld was optimistic
the sleek X15 would exceed
its goal of speeding at 4,000
miles an hour to an altitude of
100 miles. . , 4
"This was like pulling the
cork out of what we've been
trying to do for a long time,"
said Crossficld of the eight-
minute flight with the giant
S7,000-pound thrust engine.
Five times in past weeks tne
flight had to be cancelled be
cause of poor weather or tech
nical difficulties, but Tuesday
it went even better than
hoped.
Flies Two Minutes
The X15 was dropped from
its harness under the wing of
a BS2 mothcrshlp at 43,000
feet. Crossficld ignited the big
engine for slightly more than
two mlnutcs-long enough to
shoot the 50-foot craft through
the air at speeds of nearly
2,000 miles an hour.
The craft attained the near-
record speed despite the fact
Crossficld opened the throttle
less than half way and kept on
the "brakes"-large, extended
flaDs.
"Hang on to it," radioed the
pilot of a Jet plane trying to
keep up with the xis as it
flashed through the sky.
"Don't you worry, buddyl"
shouted Crossficld.
Later, after gliding to a
landing back at this Mojave
Desert base about 100 miles
northeast of Los Angeles,
Crossficld said:
Unidentified Body
Found in Portland
Portland itlPli Authorities
sought today to identify the
body of a woman, about 50 or
55 years old, found In a wood
ed gully lale Tuesday.
The body was found by
Clifford McCroskey, 36, who
was walking In the area of
Northwest Cornelius Pass rd
Deputy Coroner Tony Wald
estimated the woman had
been dead at least three or
four days. An autopsy failed
to disclose any apparent clues
to the cause of death. Further
examination of the body was
scheduled today.
Police said the description
did not match that of any
woman reported missing in
nearby areas.

"There was an abrupt, almost
explosive acceleration when I
cut in the power. I think the
X15 will exceed its expecta-tions-I
think it will go higher
and faster than it was designed
to."
Makes Vast Difference
The North American Avia
tion test pilot said flying with
the big XL99 engine made
previous test flights with the
smaller XLR11 engines seem
like "putting a Model 'A' en
gine in a Cadillac."
The XLR11 engines devel
oped a total ot 16,000 pounds
thrust when they were used
In earlier fllghls-and yet they
set two world's records for
the X15.
Both records were made In
August by other pilots. One
set an altitude mark of around
25 miles (136,500 feet) and the
other a speed mark of 2,196
miles an hour.
Crossfield said he would fly
the big-englned X15 two or
three more times at about the
same speeds. Then it will be
turned over to the Air Force,
Navy and National Aeronau
tics and Space Administration
tor an allout thrust to the
edge of space at a time to be
announced later.

During the coffee hour fol
lowing the church service old
pictures were displayed. Mrs.
Minear and Mrs. Gorby were
in charge of the display and
were assisted by Mrs. O. P.
Taylor in explaining some of
the older items.
The pictures will be dis
played again Sunday, Nov.
20, in the church library be
tween 12:30 and 2:30 p.m.
Morris Boughner, chairman
of the smorgasbord planned
for Thursday, Nov. 17, says
that more than 100 persons
are helping in its preparation.
Committee chairmen Include
Mrs. George Lawless, kitchen;
Richard Fanger, host; Charles
Thompson Jr., tickets; Dr. Eu
gene Ray, service; R. J. Bills,
kitchen equipment; John

ary where organ music will
be played before going to the
dining hall.
From there, he will travel
by smaller plane to his run
ning mate's "LB J" Ranch
where the two Democratic
leaders will confer tonight
and Thursday. Kennedy plans
to fly back to Palm Beach
Thursday night.
If Kennedy had followed
time -honored political tradi
tion, he would have had his
running mate come to see
him. But the president-elect
decided to interrupt his own
holiday and fly to Johnson's
home.
Shortly after the election, a
top member of the Kennedy
staff said Johnson would be
given more than the custom
ary vice presidential role in
the new administration. This
Kennedy associate said he ex
pected Johnson to occupy pos
sibly a more influential role
in the administration than
that of Vice President Rich
ard M. Nixon in the govern
ment of President Eisenhow
er. Another consultation on
formation of the new govern
ment, Gov. Abraham Ribicoff
of Connecticut, had lunch
with Kennedy Tuesday and
then played golf with him.
Ribicoff, one of the closer
campaign advisers to the Mas
sachusetts senator and fre
quently mentioned as a hot
prospect for attorney general
in the new Cabinet, told re
porters "at this time It would
be safe to say" that no cabi
net appointment has been of
fered. Before departing for meet
ing with Johnson, Kennedy
today arranged to extend his
stay in Florida.
