House aide, to succeed Jenkins. Jenkins, 46. who figured prominently in the Bobby Baker case, was in seclusion in George Washington Univejr/tity Hospital where his physician said he was suffering from “nervous exhaustion and high blood pressure.” “Just Worn Out" Dr. Charles Thompson said that Jenkins, an aide to Johnson for more than 20 years, had ")Ust worrt himself out" and probably would remain in the hospital for four or five days.

Washington police records showed that Jenkins was arrested on Oct. 7 in the men’s room of the YMCA on a charge of "disorderly (indecent gesturesi." He elected to forfeit SSO bond on the misdemeanor charge. The records showed that Jenkins, married and the father of six, also was arrested on Jan. 15, 1959, at the YMCA on a charge of "disorderly conduct i pervert i." On that occasion, he forfeited a $25 bond. A White House source said that no reports of “any incident

of this kind” relating to Jenkins had ever come to the attention of the White House at any time prior to' Wednesday’s disclosures. Rad Security Clearance These sources said they assumed Jenkins had security clearance because of his job as an aide to the President, but they did not know the extent of this clearance. The startling development left a big question mark hanging over the presidential campaign — what would be its political impact coming only three weeks before the Nov. 3 election? Republican presidential nominee Barry M. Goldwater, who is campaigning in Texas, declined any comment on Jenkins’ resignation. In a speech prepared for delivery at Harlingen, Goldwater accused Johnson of "using every power of his great office ... to cover up one of the sorriest rumors we have ever had in the nation’s capital." But he told reporters he was referring to the Baker case, not Jenkins. Made No Comment GOP vice presidential candidate William E. Miller, in Terre Haute, Ind., was shown a wire service dispatch on Jenkins’ arrest. Miller smiled and said he had no comment. F. Clifton White, national director of Citizens For Goldwa-ter-Miller, said the arrest of Jenkins on morals charges "represents both personal tragedy and a national misfortune.” "Certainly human feelings of compassion for Mr. Jenkins and his family and community will be the first thought of mil-_ lions of Americans," White said. "The fact that this situation involves the White House official family, however, makes it more than a personal tragedy. The effects upon America. both nationally and internationally. can be only surmised at this time.” Files Suit To Contest State Redistricting FORT WAYNE. Ind. (UPD— The Indiana . Civil Liberties Union, which battled against Ahe state's 1921 legislative apportionment act. has formally opened its attack on the 1963 act which succeeded it. In a suit filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court here, the ICLU acted on behalf of seven citizens of seven counties who claim the act denied their constitutional rights to equal representation. Defendants in the case are Governor Welsh and other members of the State Board of Elections, Secretary of State Charles O. Hendricks and the county clerks an county election boards of St. Joseph, Lake, Marion, Allen, Monroe. Porter and LaPorte Counties. The suit asked that a special three-judge federal court take jurisdiction in the case and that the court order at-large election of members of the 1967 Legislature in the event the 1965 Legislature does not enact "a new and constitutional apportionment act" for both houses df** the legislature before the filing time for the 1966 primary election. A similar suit filed by the ICLU against the 1921 act and consolidated with one filed by former State Sen. Nelson Grills, D-lndianapolis, was a major factor in the 1963 Legislature's passage of the new apportionment act. Tire new act, still not fully put into effect, was attacked in the new suit as "arbitrary, capricious and invidious discrimination" against residents of the seven counties. "Not only is the membership of the House of Representatives not apportioned among the counties according to population under the 1963 statute but also a crazy quilt of arbitrary discriminations exists among, counties of the same general class without any apparent pattern," the suit charged. It also charged there is a “substantial discrimination in the Senate districts against urban counties as a group, compared to rural counties. Such substantial discrimination could only be the result of a purposeful and systematic plan to give greater weight in the Senate to the smaller rural counties than they would be entitled to on the basis of voting population.” Plaintiffs in the case are Thomas F Broden Jr., South Bend; Bruce L. Stour,* Fort Wayne; John E. Hunter, Gary; John S. Griffin, Indianapolis; Rudolf B. Gottfried, Bloomington; V. M. S. Hannel, Chesterton, and Myron. E. Berkson, Michigan City.

Jobless Pay Claims Increase In State INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Indiana unemployment compensation claims increased 17% per cent last week over the last preceding week. Director Lewis F. Nicolini of the Indiana Employment Security Division reported the total jumped from 18,170 to 21,357. He said it was partly due to the beginning of a new calendar quarter which enabled some persons previously laid off to file for the first time, and partly to a layoff of 3,000 workers from one plant where production was cut back due to a labor dispute in other plants.
