To Announce Redistricting Ruling Nov 1 INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The 42-year suspense surrounding Indiana reapportionment will be broken soon when a panel of three federal judges announces a ruling in two suits to force legislative redistricting. Judge William E. Steckler of the Southern" Indiana District Court said following a nearly five-hour conference with the two other judges in a closeddoor session that they had reached a decision. The other panel members were Judge Roger J. Kiley of the 7th District Circuit Court of Appeals ’in Chicago and Judge Cale J. Holder, also of the Southern Indiana District. The session broke up in midafternoon without announcement of any kind. But Steckler said a target date of Nov . 1 had been set, by which time the judges hope to have an “opinion ready. Steckler said he "assumed” Kiley would make the announcement. He said the judges reached a decision they feel "is just.” He did not elaborate. Public hearings on reapportionment, ignored by the Indiana Legislature since 1921 in direct violation of the constitution, preceded Monday’s closeddoor session. Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers has conceded in briefs filed with the panel that reapportionment is needed in Indiana but that the actual work of redistricting the state should be done. by the legislature, not ttje courts. Wren Church Plans Rally Day Sunday The United Brethren in Christ church of Wren, 0., will have a rally day next Sunday. Sunday School will begin at 9:30 am., followed by worship service at 10:30.

King Demands Are Rejected By Birmingham BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (UPDNegro leader Martin Luther King Jr., bitterly denouncing the city’s rejection of his desegregation demands, threatened Monday night to lead demonstrations of “more numbers that any man can count ” "We will demonstrate until they integrate,” he told a rally of more than 1,000 Negroes. But he did not say when such segregation protests, which brought around 2,500 arrests last spring, would begin. King spoke several hours after Mayor Albert Boutwell said that solution of the city's racial problems "will never be done in response to threats or deadlines from anyone.” Boutwell referred to a demand by King that the city hire 25 Negro policemen within a two-week period ending next. Monday or face new racial demonstrations. Boutwell’s executive assistant, W. C. Hamilton, said civil service regulations requiring a six-week clearance check for new employes would make it "impossible" to meet King’s deadline without an act of the legislature. Boutwell said an “intensive and completely impartial' survey" was being made to determine the best kind of police force for Birmingham and he would not permit “other interests to intervene or defeat" that study . Other racial developments: Clinton, La.: A Louisiana court Monday issued a warrant for the arrest of James Farmer. national director of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) for leading racial demonstrations. Farmer failed to show up for a hearing Monday against Negroes charged with violating a restraining order against picketing white merchants .

Tallahassee, Fla.: A group of white Florida State Univers.ity students carrying "Ban the Ban” placards picketed an offcampus hangout Monday to protest its refusal to serve Negroes. Jacksonville, Fla.: A hearing was scheduled in U.S. District Court Wednesday on a suit to eryoin St. Augustine city officials from interfering with antisegregation demonstrations. New York: The Cohgress of Racial Equality (CORE) said it would stage demonstrations today wheri five demonstrators jailed five days ago are released.
