Storm of Protest Raised
 Over Efforts to Reappor- ton Representatives - Start Move to Kill Bill
[RepubIIean A. 2. Leased WIrel


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-After five hours of argument the house, like jury not required to be locked up. went home tonight to deliberate over the proposal to increase it's membership from 435 to 4S2.
 Such a storm of protest was raised, however. to the bill that house leaders predicted the verdict tomorrow would be against increase and for an amend ment holding seats to the present total. The debate touched every possible point. although Representative Clark, former Democratic leader. declared it was not different from that heard after every decennial census for half cen tury
 Rising to speak fin opposition to the bill. Representative Esch, Republican, of Wisconsin, who failed of reelection last year. after a service of 22 years. was greeted by a demonstration.
 He declared that the house could not justify its action in adding to the mem bership simply so save one seat in Maine and another in Missouri.
 Esch Pleads for Efficiency
 "Why can't this house have the cour- age to say 1t win not do that?" he asked. '-rhe people arc not so much concerned with the number of repre- sentatives as they are with the question of ability and efficiency. It is not .oo difficult to rememJer the time when Maine with four members had more |, influence here. than New York with it's s0."
 Nearly everybody had a chance 10 express his views. Representative Montague. Democrat, Virginia. declared it was shoclSingly obvious to the house, as 1t was to the country. that the house was too big now to legislate effective I'd Clark who COcg out of office in March. endorsed rhe increase. but announced he would fight for a constitutional amendment which would hold the total to 800 for all the time. Representative Monden of Wy cning, Republican leader. joined with those opposing an increase, declaring that If this body is to remain what the fathers intended, a deliberative body it must be kept reasonably small.
 Losing States Oppose Bill
 Some members even from states which stand to lose representation op- posed the bill and insisted on the amendment proposed by Representative e Rarbour Republican of California, which would keep the total as at pres ent. This was particularly true of Mis- sissippi. slated to lose seat, three or it's entatives-Sissons, Humph- reys and Stephens-fighting for the small number.
