In to draft reapportionment and red ist net ing legislat ion. At the same time lA. Covernor Itobert W. Scott and House Speaker II. Pat Taylor Jr. named special senate and house commit tees to start advanced studies on reapportionment of the two bod ies. In the near future, they said, a joint committee of house anil sen lite members will he named to study realignment of the state's I I congressional districts. The announcements came fol lowing a conference by the three in Covernor Moore's office. The Covernor, Seott and Tay lor, said the extra session should limit itself solely to action de signed to comply with the Nov. ISO order of a three-judge federal court directing the state to ap portion Ixith houses of the state legislature on a population basis, and to realign the congressional districts to achieve closer equali ty of population. The three state leaders said that in confronting the problem of legislative reapportionment the general assembly should not seek lit this time to increase the size of either the house or senate. The house is now composed of 120 members and the senate of 60. The Senate is apportioned on the basis of population only but the formula for distributing the House membership is primarily based oA geography. The court order directing re apportionment held invalid state constitutional provisions guaran teeing each county at least one representative in the House.
