Washington. Jan. 1s.-After five hours of argument and oratory. the house. like jury not required to be locked up, went home tonight to deliberate over the proposal to increase its membership from 455 to 4s3.
 Such a storm of protest was raised however. to the bill that house leaders predicted the verdict tomorrow would be against the increase and for an amendment holding seats to the present total. The debate touched on every possible point, although Representative Clark. former democratic leader. declared 1t, was not different from that heard aft CT every decennial census for the last half century.
 Rising to speak in opposition to the Sill, Representative Esch. republican, wisconson, who failed of reelection last year after a continuous service of 22 years. was greeted by a demonstration by republicans and democrats alike. Then, when he had the undivided attention. Mfr. Esch declared the house could not tusti- fy its action in adding to the membership simply to save one seat in Maine and another in Missouri
 "why can't this house have the courage to. say 1t will not do thatT' he asked. ''The people of your state are not SC much concerned with the number of rep resentatives as they are with the ques- tion of ability and efficiency. It is not tho difficult to remember the time when
 Maine with four members had more in huence here than New York with Its thirty"
