Possibly no question thrust before state legislatures is inherently more troublesome, more likely to arouse discontent, or more susceptible to hard bargaining than legislation to redistrict the state. It is not sur prising, then, to learn that anyone who was to have much to do with Congressional redistricting legislation in Pennsylvania viewed the 1961 session with misgivings. And there were good grounds for such feeling, for, as the legislature set out to carve new districts from old, it faced sev eral persistent and irksome conditions.
