May Increase House
 Membership By 65

Washington, Aug. 12.-Unless the membership of the house is increas- ed from 435 to at least 500 to meet the increased population shown by the 1920 census, 10 states will lose one or more representatives, ac- cording to Representative Siegel, of New York, chairman of the census committee which will frame the new appointment bill. Those states are: Indiana, Iowa and Missouri, which will lose two congressman each; and Illinois, Kentucky and Maine, Mary land, Nebraska, Vermont and Vir- ginia, which will lose one congress- man each.
 MT. Siegel explains that if the house membership is retained at it's present figure, it will be nec- essary to increase the population basis in each congressional district beyond the 211, 1000 or major DOT tion thereof now fixed. If this is done, he says, the ten states nam- ed will lose one or more of the present districts because their pop ulations have not increased in pro- portion to those of other states.
 On the basis of the estimated pop ulation of 106, 6,000,000 for the whole country in 1920, an increase of ap- proximately 14,000,000 in 10 years, MT. Siegel says 65 or 66 new seats in the house must be created if the 1 ten states are to retain their nu- merical representation. While pre- cedent warrants the increase, MT. l Siegel declares there is strong oppo- sition to it on the part of some of the present representatives, while other favor reduction to as few as 300 members.
 MT. Siegel expects the work of framing the new apportionment bill I in accord with the new population to begin within the reconvening of congress in December and he an ticipates that the measure will be passed early in 1921.
 Every decade since 1790, with the single exception of 1840, the house membership has been enlarg- ed to keep pace with the growing population. Now the house floor is crowded when all members are pres ent; seats nearly fill the chamber the old individual desks have been discarded and an increase in mem bership probably will have to be solved by narrowing the widths o1 1 the seats.
 Ten years ago the house member. ship was increased from 391 to 435 on the basis of population of 91, 972,266 and the only exception tc such a procedure occurred in 184( when 10 congressman were knock ed by the apportionment the mem bership being fixed at 232, after having been PAP for 10 years.
 The first apportionment kept 1T tact the numerical strength of al state delegations besides providing for certain increases, but even ther several congressional districts fel short of the maximum basis of 211 000,000 basis.
