The bill Is avowediy aimed at such
states az Mississippi. whore thousands
OF negroes are disfranchissd, Congress-
man Crumpacker advocates the measure
on the ground that, as the negroes In
many Of the Southern states are not
permitted to vote. or at least do not
have their votes counted, thsy should
not be- reckoned as = part of the states
population. and consequently should not
be estimated in apportionins the state
