Prior to that landmark deci sion, the court had steadfastly refused to take jurisdiction of apportionment cases affecting congressional district bounda ries. Congress itself, although it has the constitutional power to legislate in this field, has also up to now refrained from setting standards for Congressional dis tricts except for several brief periods many years ago. This session of congressional interest in the problem has caus ed the house to pass the Con gressional District Standards Act (HR 2508), and the Senate Judi ciary Committee last week order ed reported its versibns of the measure. What the bill seeks to do is to bring legislative standards in to a much confused area of court defined doctrine. Twenty tiro states are uncertain whether or not they comply with the Court’s one-man, one-vote doc -> trine with respect to congres sional districting. Six state legis latures, including North Caro lina’s, are presently under court order to redistrict or face a Court redistricting. The bill reported by the Sen ate Committee contains both temporary and permanent stand ards. Section one would govern elections beginning in 1972 and thereafter. Section two would apply to the elections of 1968 and 1970. The permanent provisions which take effect in 1972 would establish a 10-percent maximum deviation between the popula tion of the largest and the small est congressional districts of any state. It also provides that there shall be no elections for repre sentatives-at-large whereby can didates must seek election by State-wide balloting rather than by District-wide balloting. More over, the measure provides that Congressional districts shall be “composed of contiguous terri tory”, that is, composed of coun ties that touch each other. The temporary provision con tained in Section two of the bill has caused more drafting diffi culty. Under the Senate amend ment, it would permit a maxi mum 35-percent deviation in population between the largest and smallest districts in any state for Representatives for the 1968 and 1970 elections. Its prime purpose is to remove the uncertainty which plagues a half of the Members of the house while the state legislatures and the courts seek to implement the one-man, one-vote doctrine. I have worked on this legisla tion in committee a great deal. It is offered as a measure ham mered out by compromise and not as a perfect bill. Frankly, it contains temporary provisions that I would have written dif ferently if I thought that they would have been acceptable to the majority of both Houses of Congress. However, it represents the best measure obtainable to clari fy the issues in this troublesome area of the law. For this reason, I expect to press for its passage.

Rainfall is scarce in this section of Spain, and inland irrigation is provid ed by the government for those who use it for agricultural pro duction. Sprinkler systems are present, but the majority of farmers use the canal system which is provided by the gov ernment. My host father said it is easier to use and more eco nomical than the sprinkler sys tem. What am I doing while living here? Daily activities begin at 6 a.m. with the milking and feeding of cows, followed by the necessary cleaning and daily preparation of the calf and swine quarters. Then to the nearby alfalfa field with the handy and useful mule and cart. Can’t wait until 10 a.m. for a hardy breakfast, then back to the fields hoeing, plowing or planting another crop working up an appetite for 3 p.m. lunch and a most wel comed siesta until 4:30 or 5. It is extremely hot and humid during the mid-afternoon, and the shade of the house provides adequate coolness for a most restful work break. Whether they need it or not, it is time to milk the cows again followed by the evening water ing and feeding of all the live stock which takes until 8 or 8:30 p.m. After a quick “bath” mother has dinner ready at 9 and you can believe the evening meal is looked forward to by all of us. Many times after dinner a walk of three miles into Talavera and back is enjoyed by my host brothers; however, it becomes a long walk to me. Other evenings are spent at home watching television, and sometimes friends stop by and enjoy chatting and looking this “Americano” over. Some evenings have really been a “laughingstock night” and being the butt of many jokes and conversations has been great. The sense of humor these fine people have is fantastic, and when the laughing i^'over and the pat of their hand1 on my back and shoulder is felt, I can’t help but to know I have been accepted as an amigo, which means friend. Looking forward to May 16 and 17, the fiesta time in Tala vera. My parents are providing me with my first witness of an “El Toro” bull fight.
