New York Apportionment Test
-• A special three-judge Federal court will
begin next Wednesday a review of the fairness of New York's nineteenth century formula for legislative reapportionment. The
tjriefs filed with the court by radio station
WMCA impressively document the way in
£hich this city and other population centers

fault into the present provisions of the
Slate Constitution governing Senate and
Assembly representation.
If new lines were drawn on the basis of
the 1960 census this formula would give
New York City and Buffalo one Senate seat
tbr even- 353,000 citizens, as against a ratio
erf one to 217.000 for the rest of the state A
fist-growing suburban area such as Nassau
etounty would do even worse under the formula, with one Senator for every 425,000
raters. In the Assembly the most densely
populated district would have 190,343 citizens, the least populated 14.974—a ratio
under which one rural vote would be equal
to thirteen city votes.
Whether the special court will hold this
formula violative of the principles laid
down by the Supreme Court in its historic
decision in the Tennessee reapportionment
case last March no one can predict. But the
lengthening list of states that are under
court mandate to eliminate inequities in
their laws on legislatice representation—
Florida was added to the roll just this week
—raises a strong possibility that action
may be required before the Nov. 6 election
If this proves the case, and a special session
of the Legislature has to be called just as
the state campaign approaches fever heat
Governor Rockefeller may wish that he had
moved voluntarily and earlier when the political climate was more temperate.
Puerto Rico's Birthday
A generation ago Puerto Rico was one
of the problem children of the Caribbean,
although its problem was not violence or
revolutionary tendencies but poverty. If the
island had not been so poor, we would not
have so many Puerto Ricans in the City of
New York. We are having fewer such migrants now and presumably will have fewer still, for the little country is not so poor
,as it used to be. When it became a Commonwealth ten years ago. its per capita income in current dollars was about S318. Today it is about $621.
A great part of this progress can be
traced to the work of Gov. Luis Munez Marin, who has been continuously Governor
since 1948. Governor Munez Marin, who got
his higher education in New York City,
strikes those who know him as almost an
old-fashioned American Progressive. He has
drawn around him some of the most gifted
