Donald Stewart, like the other two legislators contacted, said that he was unfamiliar with the order, but noted that the House had passed a reapportionment plan in the regular legislative session but the measure died in the Senate.

One of the four districts will be composed of all of St.

Clair County and portions of western Calhoun, making it likely that the western end of the county will be represented by a resident of St. Clair. One of the striking features of the new plan is that it disregards traditional political boundaries such as county and even precinct lines.

"As disclosed by the Indian press, it has supplied India with more than $1 billion in military aid and more than $1.36 billion in economic aid." Moscow, it said, regarded the Indian-Pakistani war as a good chance to step up Soviet expansion in the Indian Ocean and "further its control of India." Clearly, the suggestion in all this was that China regarded Russia as the major threat.

What Peking is saying seems to lend substance tq President Nixon's expressed hope for better relations with mainland China.

He said Sunday night he did not expect anything approaching resumed diplomatic relations, but he did hope that his February visit to Peking would produce "normalization in terms of setting up some method of communication better than we currently have." Communists, living in their own world of double talk, do not always say what they mean, but Peking seems agitated about Soviet intentions as it reads them. This involves somelfiinglike a hugeoviet noose looped -about much of that so-called third world of "medium-sized and smalt nations" in Asia and Africa for which Peking now claims to speak. As Red China puts it, the Russians reverting to type, acting like the czars of old trying to establish "a world empire." Peking insists that Soviet activity in the Asian subcontinent is connected with a scheme to build "a sealane arch" that would extend from the Mediterranean and Black seas in a southward-dropping semicircle through the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Bay of Bengal, around Southeast Asia and up to the Sea of Japan. That, said a recent article carried by the official Red Chinese news agency, is why Moscow is so deeply involved in arms aid to India and why the Soviet fleet has shown the flag all along the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean.

President Nixon said his adviser; Henry Kissinger, in his trips to Peking to arrange for the presidential visit; bad raised with Premier Chou Enlai the question of American war prisoners in North Vietnam. The President said he, too, intended to raise the question next month. This issue can well be the major logjam in the way of an Indochina settlement. If China in fact sees' the Soviet Union straining for domination of all Asia, it would seem logical for Peking to establish more meaningful communication with Washington. One way of doing this could be to act as broker between the Americans and the North Vietnamese.
