THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1963 Asks Court to Throw . s .4 1 Out Districting Plan A citizen committee has asked the U. S. district court in Baltimore to declare Maryvland s congressional distriets unconstitutional. The committee also asked the court to block the establishment c¢f revised districts set up by the 1983 Legislature and scheduled for ref crendum in the 1954 elections. These also would be unconstitutional, it said. Filed by the hidpyiand Citizens Commitiee for Fair Congressional | Redistricting, the suiv.named Gov. | Tawes and Secretaryy of State | Lloyd L. Simpkins as detsndanis. | In the absence of a valia dis-I tricting system, it said, congressinn al reandidates should be required | to run on an at-large or state-wide | basis. The committee suggested the | “ court could avoid this by settling | the issue before the Maryland | Legislature meets Feb. 5 and might | enact new districting Ivgix’luiim;.l But as now set up, the state's seven I . . 3 | districts are so unbalanced in ;‘upn-I lation that they violate the con-| stitution’s guarantee of equal D:‘u-] tection to all citizens, the commi - | tee said. I It was pointed out that four dis tricts whose population is only 37 | percent of the state total elect more I congressmen than are clected I)\‘] three districts with 63 percent ”II the state total.

The popularity of the tie as a gift is understandable. There’s no worry about “size.” The tie will always fit. The only worry is in getting a suitable color. This is usually solved simply by looking at the kind of tie dad is wearing or the selec tion on his tie rack. Buying a man a shirt is a bit more difficult. Size is important. Yet, equally so, is color and style. Men’s shirts may all look alike, but there’'s always the considerations of quality. The woman who buys her blouses with care should be able to buy a man a quality shirt. | Some things lo look for in a quality shirt: sturdy button- | holes—neat and without ravels; smooth, uniform buttons; sleeves cut in one piece so they will be easier to iron; even, I closely spaced stitches along cuffs and front panel. I Dad knows quality in shirts ) and he will appreciate the kind I Ye would choose for himself. ————— v———*-_.o.__. e———— ] . ¥ Hunting No Threat | ° e o ~ to Quail Officials Say I The number cf quail—nct hunt ers—determines how many cof the 'sporty game birds are bagged cach autumn, according to the Wildlife Management Institute. When | weather and food cooperate to give , the birds a good nesting season, hunters can expect to bag mere in . the fall. And fewer are taken when nesting does nct go well. But no | matter whether the birds are up or 'down, hunters take considerably 'less than even the most conserva tive bag and possessicn limits al : low. | That hunters are no threat to ,resident game species has been known to wildlife biologists for many ycars. Proof has been gather ed time and time again in careful field studies of unconfined popu | lations of quail, pheasants, rabbits, ' squirrels and other animals where the effects of the extremes of com plete protection and heavy cropping have been measured. Weather, food "and cover—not shooting—are the | determinants of game abundance. i Take, for example, this conclu | S .
