CONGRESS WAR IN SECTIO NAL
 LINES IS ON
Northerners Would Set House Membership By Voting
 Populations
By Harry B. Hunt

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Unfortu- nately for the wiping out of sectional lines, the recent Republican victory, in which a breach was made in the Solid South," came in the year of a decennial censuss.
 The result is that the advantage of the apparent crumbling of section al lines is almost certain to be lost in the opening bitter fight over the reapportionment of representation in Congress.
 For the reapportionment issue all ready has brought to the front the question of the virtual disfranchise- ment of negroes in the south. A reapportionment bill introduced by Congressman Siegel of the census committee provides for AS new mem bers of Congress, giving a total membership of 4S3.
 George H. Tinkhan, Republican
 member from Massachusetts, imme- diately serves notice that any reap portionment of seats in Congress must take cognizance of the 'unconstitu- tiolnal avoidance of the Fourteenth Amendment" by many southern states.
 Many states" declares Tinkham have notoriously disfranchises large
 numbers of their citizens and yet un iconstitutionally retain the same mum
 Der of representatives in Congress This gives the voters not disfranchis
 ed a political power far in excess oi that given in states where the Four lteenth Amendment is not evaded." | The problem that faced is that ot
 either permitting another big increase
 in House membership-and it is al
 ready unwieldy in size-or of reducing representation from some states ant
 increasing it in others.
 l Northern members, fighting reduc
 ticns in Republican, territory, would | hold down the membership by Gcpliv r ing southern statesaof representation ! on a basis of comparative population ] alone, dividing it, instead, on the basi of voting population.
 With this reapportionment storn brewing, Congressman Cordell Hull !. Tennessee proposes to fix, by const tutional amendment, a hard and fas
 limit on Congressional membership . aimed to end decennial rows. He ha , submitted a resolution proposing a '. amendment to set 450 as the maximum e representation in the House.
