Two courses are open, sither to reGhstrict or to elect 2 con- gressman at large. By far the greater aurniber of people here advocate. the lat ter method. Visitors from that state and views of members of the congressional delegation point all one way-and that to delegate at large until normal coE- litions are restored in the country and states recover from the decrease or in- crease of population incident to the shifting of war workers from enc part of
