PER CURIAM.
The judgment below is reversed. Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U.S. 533 . The cases are remanded for further proceedings consistent with the views stated in our opinions in Reynolds v. Sims and in the other cases relating to state legislative apportionment decided along with Reynolds.
MR. JUSTICE CLARK would reverse on the grounds stated in his opinion in Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U.S. 533, 587 .
MR. JUSTICE STEWART would affirm the judgment because the Ohio system of legislative apportionment is [378 U.S. 556, 557] clearly a rational one and clearly does not frustrate effective majority rule.
MR. JUSTICE HARLAN dissents for the reasons stated in his dissenting opinion in Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U.S. 533, 589 .
