HOUSE OF 4S5 SEEMS PROBABLE
Basis of Reapportionment About De-
cided On.-No Reduction From
Any State.

The coming congressional reappor-
tionment will provide for total mem
bership of 435 in the house of repre-
sentatives, according to present indl-
cations. This would mean one mem
Der every 211,700 of population.
Chairman Crumpacker, Of the house
committee on census, and some of his
associates, have been digesting the
statistical calculations recently COM
piled by the census bureau, to show
the effect of various systems Of ap-
portionment on the representation Of
the. different States.
In the sixteen members Of the COM
mittee, eleven are from States which
lose one Or more representative if the
present number Of members for the
entire house is maintained in the light
of the population shown by the CEN
sus just completed. It is likely that
these States will not only be pro-
tected, but, as Mr.. Crumpacker and
others believe, that an increase to 435
will solve the problem before the
house, that being the least number
that will save every State from any
loss in the numerical strength Of it's
