ter 9 Hours Debate.
VOTE WAS 146 TO 142
Party Lines Disregarded-5ody Al
ready UnWieIdy, Opponents De-
clare-Proposal to Decrease
Number Is Smothered.

Washington-The House recorded
it's opposition to any increase in its
membership, recommitting to the CEN
gus committee by vote Of 146 to 142
the Siegel bill to increase its size

Fairfield of Indiana, Republican
member Of the census committee, after
nine hours Of debate and wrangling
over parliamentary procedure.
Decrease Plan "Smothered."
Previous to recommitting the bill,
the House rejected, 140 to 146, an
amendment by Representative Bar
bour, Republican of California, to au-
thOrize reapportionment without any
increase in membership. Another
amendment offered by Representative
Tinkham, Republican Of Massachu-
sets, to decrease the membership to
425, was smothered under an ava
lanche of noes" Eleven Southern
states, which Mr.. Tinkland charged
had disfranchised colOred men, would
have lost 33 seats and Massachusetts
one under his amendment, while
gain OF "a seats would have been split
among a dozen states, which made
considerable gains in population in
the last decade.
1t was the second time within a
year that the House has blocked ef-
forts to increase it's size, during the
last session a bill to fix the member
ship at 4S3 being defeated. At that

but no action was taken on it by the
Senate.

Opponents of the bill c0ntended that
the House already is an unWleldly
body and that it would function less
efficiently with an increased member
ship Chairman Siegel and Represen-
tative Larsen of Georgia, Democrat
member of the committee, pleaded for
the measure, while representatives
Fairfield and Rankin, Democrat of
Mississippi, directed the attack
against it. Party lines were disre-
garded In the final vote.
Announcement by Representative
Mondell, the Republican leader, that
although he had opposed an increase
in the size of the House at the last
session, he favored the Siegel bill
brought criticism from several Repub
licans opposed to the measure, Rep
resentative Cooper of Wisconsin and
Beedy of Maine being particularly EN-
phatic in their remarks.
