Geological moment of the campaign

his campaign for the presidential nom

a frequent bidder for the headlines in
his campaign against the high cost of

Congress at its next session will find
itself confronted with the problem of
reapportioning its membership. The
question to be considered will be
whether to increase the number of
congressional districts or to increase
the population basis beyond the 211s-
600 now fixed. The present house of
Representatives has ABS members. If
the basis. of 211,OGO be reafftrmed,
about Go new seats will be created; the
house membership then will be about
500. If the basis be increased, several
states will lose one or more members,
because their populations have not in
creased in proportion to those of other
states. That is where the big fight
