"BATON ROUGE — Most of the con- 
roversy over reapportionment 
pparently is going to focus on con-.. 

‘gressional redistricting, with plans 
being proposed for reapportioning the 
Legislature expected to have relatively 
lear sailing. Sm aah 
There undoubtedly will be some loud 

+ debate and moaning and groaning from 
individual lawmakers who might feel 

ggrieved by the final composition of 
the. House and Senate districts, but a 

; Majority of each chamber appears. 
- Féady to produce a final remapping of 
Its districts at the special session open- 

lng Monday. | : 
: We use the word relatively, because 
0 years ago reapportionment was 

il sdecided on by a special master 97 dppolnted by 
ture falled to reapportion itself. 

t the outset, reapportionment of 
probably was the one most 

8ht with danger, simply because of 
Rumbers — 105 House seats com- 
ed'to 39 in the Senate and eight in 
fungressional districts, |

lect on a neighboring district,

When Rep. Emile’ C' “Peppl” Brun.

.bers of his subcommittee on House 

ting together a cohesive, acceptable 
at least to a majority) plan, they had 

MAthresfoldtask.. . .  ... 
.... First, the subcommittee had to 
"arrive at an arithmetical resolution — 
.a numbers game matching population 
with a median figure and minimum 
deviation. . -.. 

+. Second, it was necessary to develop 
a plan that would meet any standard of 
non-diseriminatiori acceptable to the 
U.S, Justice Department under the 

- Voting Rights Act and one that can 
withstand any court challenge. . 

_ +And third, there was the political 
“Jeshlem of dealing with incumbent 
awmakers, none of whom wanted 

- ‘either to be lumped in a district with 
another incumbent or.to have their dis- 

- tricts revised in such a fashion as to 
make their re-election more difficult. 

. Dividing the state mathematically 
was never a real problem. A computer 

~ had little difficulty with that. If was - 
those other two factors, non-discrimi- - 

‘reapportionment began their job of .- 
utfin 

"2" The same three parameters may be 
- applied to senatorial and congressional 
redistricting. 
.Bruneau is convinced that for the 

.most part the House subcommittee has 

.produced a plan that will survive all 
three tests and pass the Legislature. 

:- One last hurdle In Caddo Parish, 
- Bruneau said, seems to have been 
worked out, with the Caddo delegation 
devising new districts for themselves 
that they can vote for. There still may 
be some other minor amendments on 

. precincts here and there; but for the 
“most part, the plan will stand up, 
- Bruneau predicted. 
¢ Black legislators have indicated dis- 

- pleasure with the House plan because 
* it doesn’t provide enough black major- 

ity districts to assure more black rep- 
resentatives. Blacks have asked for as 
many as 18 such districts in the state, 
but the number is now at 13. 

_ If the present proposal passes, the 
next resort for the blacks would most 
likely be the courts. Given the mood of 
the Reagan administration, anything 
other than the most blatant discrimina- 
tion is not likely to be rejected by the 
Justice Department. 

- The present legislative course of pation toward minorities, principally , 
blacks, and the politics of Incumbency - 
that posed the real challenge.

mittee, which has charge of all of the 
reapportionment proposals, will begin 
its hearings Tuesday. is ; 

Bruneau said he believes the Public- 
Service Commission reapportionment 
plan will be disposed-of first, quickly 
and easily. There has been very little 
opposition to what has beeh proposed 
for the five public service districts. 

Then, he said, he hopes the commit- 
tee will move on to the House reappor- 
tionment plan before taking up con. 
gressional redistricting — the most 
controversial of all. : 

He sald that whatever bill the House 
passes on, House reapportionment is 
unlikely to have any difficulty In the 
Senate. Conversely, whatever the Sen- 
ate adopts for Senate reapportionment 
will have little trouble in the House. 

Bruneau had tried unsuccessfully to 
" get the governor to hold a special ses- 
sion dealing only with reapportion- 
ment. But the governor included 41 
items in the call, a number of which 
call for technical changes in botched- 
up laws passed in the regular session. 

. But there Is also over $100 million in 
appropriations being planned, includ- 
ing spending from the Enhanced Min- 
eral Trust Fund. 

“Hopefully,” Bruneau said, “we 
won't get the reapportionment process 
caught in the log-rolling process.”

cial legislative session, said Sen.Z:Y 
Thomas H. Hudson, D-Baton Rouge. © 

His House counterpart, Rep. John W. 
“Jock” Scott, D-Alexandria, agreed 
that a conference committee probably 
will have to make the final decision, 
but added that is not necessarily a bad 
thing. “Conference committees are 
part of the legislative process, and it’s 
a good process,” said Scott. ban 

Hudson and Scott, who is chairman 
of the House and Governmental Affairs 
Committee, spoke and answered ques-’ 
tions at a luncheon meeting of the § 
Baton Rouge Press Club at the 
Ramada Inn in Port Allen. ° : y 

_ © At a separate news conference later, 
. David C. Treen said he, too, thinks 

t possible that congressional redis- 
tricting may go to conference, but he 
said that is “normal legislative proce- 
dure.” . 

Treen also said that his three alter- 
native plans for redrawing the states 
eight congressional districts are to be 
filed as administration pills, He rei- 
-terated that he does not oppose the 
idea of creating a black-majority dis- 
trict, but opposes existing proposals to 
do 0 because of the effect they have 
on adjoining districts. © 

Hudson predicted that a Senate com- 
mittee Tuesday will scrap a plan 
approved last week by his study com- 

. mittee and replace it with one creating 
separate New Orleans and Jefferson 
Parish districts. a 
“That pian has gained momentum,” FIP 

Hudson said. “I think it will ultimately Zits ; 

be approved by the Senate,” but it is Elrmasiicas 
not necessarily ‘acceptable to the SSHUGH 
House. Hudson said he personally F- 

that plan because it splits the 
city of Baton Rouge between two dis- 

“You also have to remember that 
the governor is adamantly opposed to 
that plan” Hudson said. Treen has the 
right to veto any plan the Legislature yc... ~ 
p : pproves. ht 

Hudson and Scott agreed that the 
plans for redoing the state House and p- 
Senate districts are far less controver- | 
sial and probably will pass with little 
difficulty. . 

Scott said he feels that House and 
Senate versions of a plan to redraw the 
five state Public Service Commission 
districts are so different that that mat- 
ter, too, is likely to go to a confer- 

:7. But Scott said he thinks the House 
‘and Senate congressional plans con- 

. tain no “irreconcilable differences” 
and getting agreement may not be ‘as 
difficuit as many suppose.

black-majority and Jefferson Parish- 
majority districts, but Gov. David C. 
Treen’s administration began to show its muscle in the remap controversy. 

In effect, the advocates of the Jef- ferson-Black Caucus plan split a doub- 
leheader with the Treen forces. A 
House committee adopted a Treen- 
backed plan that likely will be voted on 
by the full House Thursday, while the 
Senate rejected another Treen plan by 
only three votes, 

In other redistricting matters, the 
Senate also approved a plan to reap- 
portion its own election districts, the 
House passed a House redistricting 
plan of its own, and a House committee 
and the full Senate approved conflict- 
ing proposals to reapportion the state’s 
Public Service Commission districts. 
Meanwhile, Wednesday’s Senate action on congressional reapportion- 

ment leaves that complicated battle in 
this posture: 

The Senate has now sent the House a 
bill whose principal backers are Sens. Joseph M. Tiemann, D-Metairie, and Samuel B. Nunez, D-Chalmette. The * measure puts nearly all of New Orleans in a district with a 54 percent black majority, and most of Jefferson i in a district shared with St. Bernard, Plaquemines and part of Algiers but which Jefferson is in a position to dom- . inate. 
Legislative sources said Treen was calling lawmakers Wednesday nd making it clear he will veto the Nuncz- 

— pg seme 

Tiemann plan if it reaches his desk, but 
the Senate approved it by a vote of 
31-6. 

That bill now goes to the House and 
Govermental Affairs Committee, 
which Wednesday voted down an iden- 
tical plan by a vote of 12-3. 
Amid heavy lobbying by Treen aides, 

the House committee, by an identical 
12-3 vote, approved a motion by Rep. 
Terry Gee, R-Algiers, that it send to 
the House floor the governor's “Pro- 
posal B,” a plan that leaves New 
Orleans area districts much as they 
are today. Ta 

Rep. Diana A. Bajoie, D-New Orleans, upposed the plan because, she said, “it continues to dilute the black vote.” The plan leaves District 2, a combined Orleans-Jefferson district, only about 44 percent black. She said she will try to change it on the House floor. ha Sr. 43: 
Rep. John A. Alario Jr., D-Westwego, and Jefferson Parish Assessor Lawrence E. Chehardy, urged the 

panel to approve the Nunez-Tiemann 
plan. Chehardy said. it “recognizes Lhe 
dramatic changes that have taken 
effect in Jefferson Parish. . «. No 
one can adequately represent (both) 
New Orleans and Jefferson because 
they are opposing views.” 

' "Reps. Emile “Peppi” Bruneau, Ind- 
New Orleans, and Lane A. Carson, R- 

between two congressional districts. : 
In the Senate, Nunez had better luck. His plan had been approved Tuesday 

by the Senate and Governmental 
Affairs Committee by a 7-0 vote, and 
he easily beat back an attempt by Sen. Allan Bares, D-Lafayette, to re} lace it with Treen's “Proposal C.” {Treen

The Senate then approved the 
Nunez-Tiemann plan 30-6, with all

Nunez strongly attacked the sugges- tion that his plan is designed to permit him to run for Congress against Republican U.S. Rep. Bob Livingston 
. of Algiers. New Orleans, objected on grounds that 

New Orleans has always been split

Congress and if he did, he would prefer

in his race against Democrat Louis 
Lambert, while the present/1st District gave Treen only 55 percent.

-House comrgittee refuses t@vote — 
on Senate-passed redistrict plan 
By JACK WARDLAW 
Capital bureau 
BATON ROUGE — The process of 

redrawing the boundaries of Louisi- 
ana’s eight congressional districts 
stalled Thursday when a House com- 
mittee refused to take final action on a 
Senate-passed redistricting bill. 

And a district reapportionment plan 
backed by Gov. David C. Treen 
remained on the House calendar as the 
lower chamber became embroiled in a 
day-long discussion of the governor's 

. $70 million plan to aid local govern- 
_ ments. 

The House and Governmental 
Affairs Committee was to meet again 
Friday. Chairman John W. Scott, D- 

At Alexandria, promised that the Senate _ 
bill — or some amended version of it 
= will be voted on at that meeting. 

H 
i 

Only two congressional redistricting 
plans are before the Legislature, 
though others are waiting in the wings 
and there are unconfirmed reports that 
a new plan might bd on the way from 
the delegation in Washington. 

The two “live” plans, and their sta- 
tus in the legislative process, are: 

— Treen’s “Proposal B.” One of 
three plans offered.by the governor, 
this one leaves New. Orleans area dis- 

‘tricts much as they are today but 
makes extensive changes in South and 
Central Louisiana. It shifts Lafayette 
from the 7th District of Democratic 
US. Rep. John Breaux of Crowley, to 

the. 8th District of Democratic Rep. 
Gillis W. Long of Alexandria. 

That plan was approved Wednesday 
by ‘the House“and Governmental * * 
Affairs Committeé and“ had been 

expected to be debated Thursday after- 
noon by the full House. But the House 
took all day on the local government 
bill and the remap plan was held up 

- until Friday at the earliest. 
— The Senate plan, co-authored by 

Sens. M. Joseph Tiemann, D-Metairie, 
and Samuel B. Nunez, D-Chalmette. 
That plan splits Orleans and Jefferson, 
making a black-majority district out of 
most of Orleans and making Jefferson 
the base of a revised Ist District that’ 
would include most of Jefferson, part 
of Algiers and the parishes of St. Ber- 
nard and Plaquemines. 

That plan cleared the Senate 
Wednesday and was debated for more 
than two hours Thursday morning in

The Times-Picayune/ The States-Item 

Panel delays remap vote FE 
Continued from Page ar. 

the panel decided to delay final action 
until Friday. .. ~~ 

The committee, which had approved 
Treen's Proposal B by a 12-3 vote 
Wednesday, came within a single vote 
Thursday of scrapping it and replacing 
it with the Senate plan. 

Nunez and Jefferson Parish Assessor 
Lawrence E. Chehardy presented the 
Senate plan to the committee, urging 

members to approve it and make Jef- 
ferson the base of a congressional dis- 
trict for the first time. 

Rep. Emile “Peppi” Bruneau, Ind- 
New Orleans, suggested that a better 
idea would be to revise the 2nd District 
of Democratic Rep. Lindy Boggs of 
New Orleans to give Jefferson a 
majority in that district. He said he is 
working on such a plan. 

State Rep. Terry Gee, R- Algiers, 
moved that the committee junk the 
Seaals plan and replace it with Treen’s 
Proposal B.  .. 

Rep. Luke LeBlanc, D-Lafayette, 
objected, saying that the Treen plan . 
“destroys the base of. Breaux’s dis- 
trigt.” + 

“I think Gov. Treda has gone off the 
deep end; trying to do this to Lafayette 
Parish ‘which gave him 30,000 votes. in 
the election,” LeBlanc. said. 

Rep. John A. Alario Jr., D-Westwego, 
said the Treen plan ‘‘does more 
damange than many others I've seen.” 

Gee's motion first lost on a 7-6 vote, 
but when LeBlanc asked the commit- 
tee to approve the Senate plan, that 
also lost 7-6. After more discussion and 
with two more committee members in 
the room, Gee tried again and the 
Treen plan was adopted as.an amend- 
ment to the Senate bill by an 8-7 vote. 

Gee then tried to get the bill 
reported to the floor, but Rep. James 
Martin, D-Welsh, who had voted with , 
Gee on the amendment, said he would 
not vote to report the bill out. He said 
he has been told that the congressional 
delegation plans to produce a new plan 
Friday, and urged the panel to wait 
and consider that before taking a final 
votes At Martin's urging, members 
voted to defer action. 

A check of congressional offices in 
Washington produced no confirmation 
that a new plan is in the works. Sources 
here said some amendmen 7 the

delegation-backed plan are on the way,’ 
probably creating a Jefferson-majority 
2nd district. 

Legislative sources said House mem- 
bers are in no hurry to send any bill to 
the Senate because they believe sena- 
tors will amend their plan to conform 
to the Senate version — exactly as Gee 
‘did to the Senate bill Thursday. 

If that attitude prevails, both houses 
could spend the next few days playing 
cat-and-mouse before the matter fin- [ 
ally gets before a joint House-Senate 
conference committee. 

- Earlier Thursday the House and 
Governmental Affairs Committee 
challenged the Senate by taking the 
Senate-passed bill revising ‘the five 
Public Service Commission Districts 
and amending it to conform to a bill 
the committee approved Wednesday. 
The House bill is on the calendar 
awaiting action. 
" The House and Senate Public Service 

. Commission redistricting plans are 
similar except in one detail: 

The Senate plan leave the parishes 
of St. Bernard and Plaquemines in the : 
2nd District of Commissioner George 
Ackel, making up a population deficit 
in the 1st District of Commissioner 
John Schwegmann by adding St. Tam- 
many Parish to it. Schwegmann has 
said he would prefer adding St. Ber- - 
nard and Plaquemines, but Ackel does 
not want to give them up. 

The House plan follows Schweg-’ 
mann’s wishes, giving him St. Bernard 
and Plaquemines, leaving: St. Tam- 
many where it is, in the 3rd District of 
Commissioner Louis Lambert. 

Nunez, who represents St. Bernard 
and Plaquemines in the Senate, urged 
the panel to leave the parishes in 
Ackel's district. Rep. Edward C. Sco- 
gin, R-Slidell, said St. Tammany resi- 
dents want to keep their district as it is 
now. 
The committee agreed with Scogin, 

voting 14-0 to amend the Senate bill to 
make it the same as the House version. 
If the House passes the bill with those 
amendments, the Senate is likely to 
reject them, throwing the issue into a 
conference committee. 

If the House passes its own bill, the 
Senate will have a chance to amend it. 
Either House action could come Fri- 
day. :

Capital bureau 
BATON ROUGE — The House dealt 

Gov. David C. Treen a stunning defeat 
Friday, rejecting his proposals for 
reapportioning the state’s congres- 
sional districts and adopting instead a 
Senate-backed plan. 

The plan the House approved creates 
a 2nd Congressional District in Orleans 
Parish with a black-population major- 
ity and a 1st District in which Jeffer- 
son Parish voters would make up an 
estimated 72 percent of the district 
total. 

After the vote, Treen issued a terse 
statement that, “Any bill in that form 
is unacceptable and without question 
will be vetoed.” 

That plan was approved by the Sen- 
ate Thursday but had been rejected by 
a House committee. It proved a lot 
more popular than expected on the 
House floor. pl 

“This plan is good for everybody,” 
_ said Rep. Mary Landrieu; D-New 
Orleans, “It’s good for the blacks, it’s 
good for the liberals, it’s good for Jef- 
ferson Parish. It'll keep them on their 
side of the line and out of our hair.” 

In the course of a debate that lasted 
more than two hours, the House voted 
51-47 to reject Treen’s “Proposal A,” a| 

i" plan that would have made little! 
. change in the existing districts; voted 
59-37 to substitute the Senate plan for 
it; and finally voted 62-37 to send the! 
revised bill to the Senate, where it is 
expected to get a friendly reception. 
inasmuch as the Senate gave an identi- | 

+ cal proposal a 30-6 vote of approval. 
Under the plan approved by the 

House Friday, the 2nd Congressional 
District would be composed of all of 
Orleans, except for part of Algiers. The’ 
district now is represented by Lindy 
Boggs of New Orleans. :

-BATON ROUGE (UPI) — Spo- 
kesmen for two whose 
districts would be radically changed 
by a remapping plan gaining 
momentum in the Legislature, said 
Friday they oppose the proposal. 
The House redistricting plan drasti- 
cally alters the political turf of 
Republican Reps. Bob Livingston of 

Rouge. 
However, Rep. Lindy Boggs of 

New Orleans did not object to the 
Legislature’s proposal to give her 

+ 2nd District, which now has half of 
New Orleans and half of Jefferson 
Parish, a majority of black voters. 

“I certainly have no personal 
problem with it at all,” she said

, Preiviasston of Algiers — would be 
. comjosed of all of West Jefferson 

except Grand Isle, all of East Jefferson 
except Kenner, about half of Algiers 
and all of St. Bernard and Plaquemines 
parishes. 

The plan also would have the effect 
of Rutting St. Tammany Parish — 
wifich now is part of the 1st District — 
inteethe 6th District, now represented 
by Henson Moore of Baton Rouge. 

Here is how New Orleans area mem- 
bers’ Yoted on final passage of the con- 
gressional reapportionment plan: 
For the bill, as amended to encom- 

pass the Senate plan: Reps. Alexander, 
Bajoie, Charbonnet, Connor, Heaton, 
Jacgbn, Johnson, Landrieu and Water- 

. meier, all of New Orleans; Alario, 
* Cusimano, Dastugue, D’Gerolamo, 

Guidry, Lancaster, Leithman and Ullo, 
all gf Jefferson; Accardo of St. John 

Cha Parish; Fernandez of St. Ber- 
nardiand Patti of Plaquemines. 

Against: Hainkel, Bagert, Bruneau, 
Carson, Faucheux, Gee and Schmitt, all 
of New Orleans; and Scogin and Strain 
of St.Tammany. 

ABjent or not voting: Byrnes of New 
Orleans and Bopp of St. Bernard. 
JIBe fight actually started an hour 

before the House convened, as the 
House and Governmental Affairs Com- 
mittge met to take up the Senate- 
passed bill. : 

~The governor had the votes in the 
committee, which proceeded to gut the 
Senate bill and replace it with Treen’s 
Proposal A. 

When the House Sonvened ‘Rep. John 
W. “Jock” Scott, D-Alexandria, chair- 
man of House and Governmental 
Affairs, began presenting the Senate 
bilkas amended.’ 

STtat drew a quick objection from 
Rep: «John A. Alario Jr., D-Westwego, 
who'said the bill's author, Sen. Samuel 
B:Nunez, D-Chalmette, has designated 
him’ as its floor manager. The point is 
important because under House rules, 
if the bill is sent to a conference com.’ 
mittee, the speaker must name its 

* floor manager to the six-member con- 
ference. ~E 

Placing Alario, on the couteranee 
. committee would have enabled him to 
vote with the Senate conferees for the 
Senate plan, something House Spester 
Jonad, Hainkel Jr. opposes. 

the Sepia Parish; Chaisson of St. 

After a huddle, Hainkel and Alario 
agreed that the House bill would be 
taken up instead of the Senate-passed 
‘measure. The House bill, at that point, 
embodied Treen’s Proposal B; a, plan 
that little affects the New Orleans area 
but makes extensive changes else- 
where in the state. 

Scott sought to amend the lan to 
encompass Treen’s Proposal A, consid- 
ered more acceptable i in the House. 

But the amendment ran into a buzz- 
saw of opposition. Alario said the [g 
administration was using “divide and |f 
conquer” 
votes with minor revisions of Proposal 
A. 

Rep. Diana. A. ' Bajoie, D-New 
Orleans, said “I don’t understand why 
the governor is determined to ignore 
the black citizens of this state.” 

Bajoie was asked if she liked Treen’s 
Proposal A better than his Proposal B. |¥ 
“It’s like going from the skillet to the 
pan,” she said. “It’s hot both places.” 

Rep. V.J. Bella, D-Berwick, objected 
to Treen's plan to split St. Mary Par- 
ish. “Once you divide my parish, I have 

"no more stroke. I don’t want two con- 
gressmen,” he said. 

When the House tried to vote on 
Scott’s amendment, the electronic vot- 
ing machine broke down and a roll call | § 
vote was taken. To the surprise of [E:A~> 
many, Treen’s plan was rejected 51-47. 

Alario then moved in for the kill, 
" bringing the Senate plan to a quick 
vote. With the tide now running his 
way, it passed 59-37. The House then 
gave the bill final approval 62-37. 

Alario then tried to bring to a vote 
the bill already passed by the Senate. |; 
Had he amended it back into the form 
in which the Senate passed it, the mea- 
sure would have gone straight to the 
governor without any further legisla- 
tive action. j 3 

But House members were restive, 

and they rejected a move to take up 
Senate bills. Alario then had the Senate 
bill made special order of the day 
Monday. 

Legislators on both sides predicted 
the administration will turn on the lob- 
bying steam over the weekend, hoping 

.to salvage some kind of a compromise. 
Treen is adamantly opposed to the Sen- 
ate plan, reportedly because he fears it 
would cause the political demise of 
Republican Rep. Livingston.

By JACK WARDLAW 
Capital burean 
BATON ROUGE. — State Senate 

leaders said late Tuesday they were 
very close” to an agreement with 
Gov. David C. Treen's administration: 
and Louisiana's congressmen on the 
explosive issue of reapportioning the 
state's eight congressional districts. 

“We've been meeting since 8:30 
said Sen. Samuel B. Nunez, D- 

Chalmette, shortly before 6 p.m. “I 
think we're about to get it worked 
out.” 

Meeting in the Senate offices in the’ 
Capitol sub-basement were senators, 
several congressmen, aides to Treen 
and representatives of others. 

Their aim was to resolve differences 
on congressional reapportionment 
between Treen and the Senate, led by 
Nunez. while satisfying the eight 
incumbent congressmen who will have 
to run in the districts in 1982. 

Since the special legislative session 
started last week, a tug-of-war has 
been fought between the administra- 

tion. which wants to leave the congres- 
sional districts much as they are, .and 
the Senate, which has insisted on a 
Nunez proposal that would provide a 
black-majority district in New Orleans 
and another district dominated by Jef- 
ferson Parish. 

The Nunez plan has passed the 
House and Senate at different times 
during the session, but Treen has 
declared he will veto it if it reaches his 
desk. 

Details of the plan that was report- 
edly near approval at Tuesday's 
closed-door session were sketchy, but 
Nunez said it likely will do the follow- 
ing: ) FE mr

New districts o5tlived, Paper 29 

. By JACK WARDLAW 
Capital bureas - 
BATON ROUGE — The Megidivie 

Thursday sent Gov. David C. Treen a 
congressional redistricting plan that 
the governor believes will meet the 

~ approval of the U.S. Justice Depart- 
ment and the federal courts. 

Both houses voted to ratify a confer- 
ence committee compromise reappor- 
tioning Louisiana’s eight congressional 
districts. 

But in a last-ditch effort to get the * 
Legislature to scuttle the plan, nearly 
every black lawmaker took the floor to 
denounce the proposal and vaw to fight 
it in the courts. ’ 

“This is patently unconstitutional, ”i 
said Sen. Henry E. Braden IV, D-New 
Orleans, arguing that the Legislature 
should have created a- black-majority 
district in New Orleans. 

“It means that some federal judge i 
will be drawing the plan,” said Rep. 3x 
Charles Jones, D-Monroe. 

Treen said at a news conference that jas Sai 
he couldn't disagree more. 

“I feel very confident that the plan 
will meet Justice Deport ang fed-

. eral court review,” said Treen. “I don’t 
think it is attackable on racial grounds 
at all.” 

Treen said he has had “nformal 
communications” with. the Justice 
Department on the matter but refused 
to answer questions about those: con- 
tacts. 

vened for the session’s final day Thurs- . 
day morning was that the conference 
committee report, approved by a 4-2 
vote late Wednesday night, was up for 

« approval by both houses. Had either 
house rejected it, either a new confer-

In the face of Treen's pledge to vetd 
such a plan, Nunez'and other proponents of 

-the plan agreed to accept. the compromise, 
-and Nunez helped lead the fight for its 
“approval atthe conference committee. : 

Black legislators picked up some support, 
but not enough: The Orleans delegation split 
10-7 against the compromise, but the Jet- 
ferson délegation split 7-3 for it. ; 

Rep.” Mary Landrieu, D-New Orleans, 
said she feared it'would cause New Orleans 
to lose control of at least one of its con- 
gressmen and perhaps both over the course

‘The Senate took only a few minutes to

The redistricting dance 
fy nieve 

I. 

The special session of the Legislature has 
done its special duty — redrawing the districts 
served by the state’s congressional delegation, 
its legislators and its Public Service Commis- " 
sion members — but there will clearly be more 
to it than that. According to the federal Voting 

Gov. David Treen says he thinks the plan will 
pass federal muster, but if it is taken to court it 
could be some time before final'judgment.. 

The patchwork the Legislature stitched 
together for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Congressional 
Districts does not argue well for the Legisla-   Rights Act of 1963, the plan must be approved 

oy'the U.S. Justice Department, and black leg- 
slators are expected to mount a court chal- 
ienge. : 

The major area of change was South Louisi-’ 
ina, where the 1980 census showed a con- 
Jinuing rise in population. And to the inevitable 
sul on redistricters to preserve the political 
sharacter of individual districts (and with it, 
inevitably, the political security of their incum- 
cents). is added the push to increase the politi- 
:al power of black voters. Black legislators

BATON ROUGE — After all the 

tumult.and the shouting, the result of 

the months-long controversy over con- 

gressional reapportionment has to be 

It's a disappointment to those who 

hoped we could come out with neat, 

well-drawn districts that are fair to all 

concerned. 

it’s no disappointment to the incum- 

bent congressmen, all of whom wound 

up with districts that are unlikely to 

give them any problems when they 

seek re-election next year. But if that 

wore the goal of the reapportionment 

process, it could have been done much 

hetter by having the governor and Leg- 

islature accept the first proposal the 

delegation submitted back in May. 

It’s only a minor disappointment to 

Jefferson Parish leaders, who wound 

up with a large enough share of the 2nd 

Congressional District to have an 

excellent chance of electing semebody 

in it when the present incumbent, 

Democrat Lindy Boggs of New 
Orleans, steps down. They wanted, of 
course, a district with all or nearly all 

of the parish united in'it. . 
It’s a major disappointment to black 

leaders, who wanted a black-majority 

district in New Orleans. They didn’t get 

« it. And in an attempt to give them half 

a loaf, the remappers tortured the map 

H of New Orleans unmercifully to try 
to cram as many blacks as possible 

into District 2. They came out with 

only 44.5 percent, not enough to give 

the biacks much hope of electing a con- 

gressman, but enough to create a dis- 

trict that looks awful on the map and 

effectively dilutes black influence in 

the neighboring 1st District. 

* It’s hard to justify bringing the 1st 

: District of Republican Rep. Robert 

© Livingston of Algiers into the univer- 

“Zi sity section, once the heart of the 2nd 
District, cutting the Uptown area in 

two and leaving Carrollton isolated 

from the rest of District 2's Orleans 

portion. 

All that was truly unnecessary. 

You're either creating a black district 

or you aren't. If you aren't, the best

. Outside the New Orleans area, the: 

“rest of the state's districts don’t’ look 
too bad, except that opportunities to 
make District 8 more compact were 
passed up. For no particularly good 
reason, the district now leaps across 
the Mississippi River to pick up a 
small chunk of Baton Rouge that is not 
contiguous with the rest of the district 

except across that natural geographic 
barrier. It is a strictly political cut.

puzzle. One of the earlier delegation 

plans, or Gov. David C. Treen’s Pro- 

posal A, could have been chosen if you 

weren't going to create the black-- 

majority or all-Jefferson districts. - 

Left to itself, the Legislature would 

doubtless have chosen the “Nunez 

Plan” (for Sen. Samuel B. Nunez, D- 

Chalmette), which would have created 

the black-majority and nearly all-Jei- 

ferson districts. But in the face of 

Treen's veto threat, it was abandoned 

by nearly everybody, including Nunez. 

From his viewpoint, Treen’s use of 

the veto club to beat back the Nunez 

Plan was necessary to keep fellow 

Republican Livingston from being 

thrust into a district in which 80 per- 

cent of his constituents would have 

been new to him.
