Full Text
The Los Angeles delegation called a special meeting for late this afternoon. San Francisco is trying to keep eight of its present nine assemblymen, instead of being cut to seven under the bill of Frederick Houser, reapportionment chairman, which comes up for hearing tonight.
A "compromise" maneuver would throw San Francisco's votes behind Los Angeles demands on all phases of reapportionment if only one assemblyman is removed. Loser would be Kern county, which is scheduled to get a second assemblyman under the existing Houser bill.
Proposed congressional reapportionment would be unchanged under the compromise.
Under tentative congressional redistricting, changes would include creation of San Diego county as a separate district and joinder of Imperial, Riverside and Orange counties into another district.
