Supreme Court Action Assailed By Roudebush

“Implementation of the U. S. Supreme Court reapportionment edict will mean that two counties will rule Indiana, and neither of them is in the 6th Congressional District,” Representative Richard L. RoudeBush (R-Ind.), declared here yesterday. Speaking at a series of five afternoon and evening “coffees” in rural Putnam County, Congressman Roudebush stated "the Supreme Court ruling that both Houses of State Legislatures must be reapportioned on a population basis only is as wrong as wrong can be.” ‘‘It would mean for Indiana that Marion County (Indianapolis), and Lake County could control the entire state. The

voice of rural and small town Indiana would be dead in our legislative halls.” “This is the reason that Congress must renew its battle to correct this judicial blunder next January when the 89th Congress convenes,” Roudebush stated. “This nation was founded as a Republic, and the people of our rural and small town areas are entitled to equal representation in at least one of the legislative houses.” “But, if the Supreme Court has its way, the needs of rural Indiana will be ignored, and all legislative power will be in the grasp of the big city political machines and bosses.”
