The court split 6 to 3 In each <a*e. Justices Wiley Rutlevlge, Frank Murphy and Hugo Black voted to hear the cases. The majority did not state the reason* for rejecting the case. The court also refused to rehear a suit challenging the present congressional districting of Illinois, which has not been < Imnged since IfMll. The first Georgia case challeng ed the validity of the unit system on a statewide basis. It was based on the Democratic primary July 18 In which Flugene Taimadge won the nomination for governor-equivalent to election. Talmadge ran behind James V. Carmichael, Marietta attorney, in popular ballot* for the state as a whole, but won becaune he received a majority of the unit votes. Under Georgia's unit plan, the smallest counties have two vote* and the most populous no more than six. The other Georgia case challenged validity of the unit system as applied to congressional primary elections. The supreme court. In refusing to review the two cases, remanded them to district court with orders to dixmis* the complaints. The Illinois redistricting case was heard by the supreme court last term. The court decided then In a 4 to 3 ruling (hat the issue was a political one in which the courts ought not to meddle.

"The veto power as it at present exists is not consonant with any law of logic or of motality. It Is, in essence, an application of the false principle that might is right."
