The chairman of the commitee Rep. Jack N. Smitherman, (Rep. - Moore svi lie )stated that the committee's plan provides a smaller deviation from the “one-man, one-vote principle than the remapping ordered the three-judge panel of the U.S. District Court. A caucus of Republican early last week unanimously approved a Senate remapping plan. If the House Apportionment Committee's proposal is approved by a majority of 72 GOP members, Gov. Edgar Whitcomb will be asked to Call a special session of th# General Assembly on redistricting the state. Re. Smithman ventured that the House map will be more centrally apportioned for the Negro community. His scheme probably, will contain a total deviation of 1.29 percent. Seemingly the remapping by the three UJS. Judges has a deviation of 1.98 percent from the conceived principle.

WASHINGTON - Frustrated over lack of cooperation from Chicago officials and the Black Panthers, the Justice Department plans to convene aspecial grand jury in Chicago to probe the recent fatal shooting of Panthers by police. The government was s^id. to be also considering the formation of a special investigating team to probe the controversial case. Both moves were disclosed on Capitol Hill. It was understood the White House had cleared the steps, which were being readied because of thealleged difficulty federal investigators were having in getting information from Cook County State’s Atty. Edward Hanrahan and Panther mem-
bers.
The department is trying to determine whether the Chicago police violated the civil rights of the Panthers. The shooting, which left two Illinois Panther leaders dead, four Panthers wounded and two police injured, occurred tfhen police staged an early morning raid on an apartment on Chicago’s Westside, about a block from the Panther .state headquarters. The 14 policemen who conducted the raid were attached to Hanrahan’s office. He contended they went to the apartment to seize illegal weapons and were fired on from inside. The Panthers have insisted that the raid was part of a genocide campaign and that the police killed Illinois Panther Chairman Fred A. Hampton in his sleep. One source said Hanrahan was reluctant to allow federal agents to question the policemen involved in the shoootlng. A Federal investigators have complained that they know little more about what happened in the raid beyond what they have read in the newspapers. The Rev. Theodore Hasburgh, chairman of the United States Commission on Civil Rights, is said to be ready to issue a statement supporting the grand jury investigation. Hasburgh is president of the University of Notre.
Dame.
The commission released a letter Friday which it has sent to a number of congressmen who have asked the commission to conduct its own investigation. The letter said the commission members were having discussions with high ranking officials ft the White House and Justice DeOhio housinq stvmed by hike of FHA interest’ CINCINNATI - The director of the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Planning Agency, Charles Ball, has cancelled a low-cost housing workshop scheduled her for early February. : N He fbserved, ‘There is no point in my scheduling a workshop to discuss ways to encourage low and moderate income housing when there is no way to get more mortgage money.' .

partment. Father Hasburgh said the commission is “deeply concerned over the shooting of the two men in Chicago and the shootings of other Black Panthers party leaders and members in other cities.” He said the commission shared the judgment of members of Congress “that a reliable and completely credible report is essential to reduce the suspicion and distrust which have grown out of the incidents.’ Meanwhile, in Washington, sources said Hanrahan would not allow FBI agents to question Chicagolaw-enforcement officials unless he or a memMilitant’ writer sees victories in N.J. election NEWARK, N.J. - The militant poet-playwright and longtime resident of this city Leroi Jones, in a television interview last weekend in New York City, predicted that Negro candidates may win the major offices here in the next November election. Jones, based his prediction Negro people make up 52 percent and Spanish-speaking people 12 percent of the city's 500,000 population, ’plus a background of federal investigation of official corruption in the city. v The investigation already has resulted in the indictment of the city's mayor, and Jones ventured that Negro people may rally behind Negro candidates as a result of the muddled political situation. The city presently has three Negro city councilmen.
ber of his staff was present. He is understood to have insisted also on being furnished copies of all reports of federal agents. Either of the conditions would be against FBI policy. In addition, Justice Department officials in this case are reluctant to accept Hanrahan’s conditions because of his^direct involvement in the cade. The plan under consideration involves sending a team of attorneys headed by Jerry Leonard, head of the Justice Department’s civil rights division, to work with the grand jury, which would weigh whether the raid violated the Panthers’ civil rights. t■ The FBI would not be assigned to the inquiry, for which Justice Department sources have varying explanations. One said that authorities feared the Panthers would refused to cooperate with' the FBI, which in itself conducted a raid oh the Chicago headquarters in June. He added that the Panthers believed that the FBI fed information to police which led to the Dec. 4 raid.
