Kims AFFIRMED BY COURT Action of Missippi Plan AUo Validates Kentucky and Virginia Washington, Oct. 18.—(AP)—Up holding Mississippi’s re-districting law today, the Supreme Court said the Federal law of 1911 regulating the formation of mew congressional dis tricts was dead. The State statute waj then declared Invalid by a Federal court in Missis sippi because it violated provisions of the Federal one which required that new districts should be contiguous, compact and have as nearly as pos sible the same number of inhabitants. The State re-districting was made necessary because it lost a represen tative under the reapportionment fol lowing the 1930 census, its member ship being reduced from eight to seven. As a result of today’s decision, there Is prospect now that re-districting laws In Kentucky and Virginia, de clared void by State courts, will take their place on the statute books. These were thrown out on the basis .of the 1911 law. th« opinion by Chief Jus tice Hughes said the Congress had scrapped that lew In its reapporti em inent statute of 1929. minor speeches and three major addresses at Pittsburgh, St. LouU and Baltimore. itinerary above England To End Treaty Os Soviets Dominion Secretary Aoaounce ment In House of Commons Session London, Oct.
