THE KEY WEST CITIZEN TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY By RUSSELL KAY biekering, the legislature appears no nearer the solution of its pnob- lem than at the"beginning 6f ‘the extraordinary -session ‘called’ by Governor Caldwell ‘to provide for reapportionment. 3 With the Senate split wide open on sectional lines, North Florida representatives determined to re- tain the advantage they now hold and South Florida members a just and equitable deal for the southern end of the state, the ses- sion remains hopelessly, dead- locket Efforts to recess the session or move it from Tallahassee to Jack- sonville have met with no success anfi while some legislators feel that if he were a mind to, the Governor might bring pressure to break the deadlock, so far Cald- well has kept hands off and point- ed out that this is a job for the legislators and it is up to them to accomplish it without his help.
