bers of the house. For approx
mately 20 years, Guilford, Wake,
Mecklenburg and Forsyth have led
in the number of representatives,
with three each.
The survey also indicated that
Bumcombe would gain a represen-
tatlve, joining Wake and Forsyth
as the counties with three mem
bers each. Cabarrus also will gain
a representative, going from one
to two.
Since the total membership of
the house is fixed by the state
constitution at a total of 120, four
counties would lose a representa-
tive, if Buncome, Guilford, Ca
barrus and Mecklenburg gain one
each.
The survey showed that these
four counties would be Halifax,
Nash, New Hanover and Rocking
ham, all of which have had two
members of the house.
Here's what the survey showed
the house membership, by coun-
ties:
Guilford and Mecklenburg would
have four members each.
Forsyth, Bumcombe, and Wake
would have three members each.
Durham, Castor, Cabarrus,
Johnston, Pitt, Robson, Rowan,
and Wayne would have two mem
bers each.
The survey was based entirely
on the census figures, whereas the
state constitution provides that IN
Reproducing the house aliens and
indians not taxed shall be excluded.
Several state officials, however,
said that the number of aliens and
indians was not sufficient to change
the results of the survey.
Reapportionment of the Senate
was not figured, because the leg
islature has the power to alter
senatorial districts, and any COM
putation would be meaningless. 2

Interpreting The War

information would go far to fore
shadow the outcome of the struggle
for air mastery could it be COM
pared and checked. Moreover, per-
sonnet losses, rather than planes
brought down in action, could prove
the deciding factor.
Short of Expectations
It is unlikely that both sides are
right in reporting their own air az
ualties. If they are, the actual toll
of life and planes in the most dead
ly air battles in history falls far
short of the expectations of mill
tary observers. They have always
believed that losses would be terri
BILE when two forces even relatively
well matched in numbers and skill
were opposed.
1t follows necessarily, then, that
one side or the other is concealing
losses that already go far toward
indicating where victory must ulti-
mately rest. Lacking such data,
distant observers are wholly at a
1OoO Y OIL l. JILL dilod,
or to weigh the progress of the
fight.
Unofficial reports from Berlin,
probably traceable to returning
German air crews, say British
fighters are already refusing COM
bat over England to conserve wan
ing air strength. Eye witness ac-
counts from England fail to bear
that out. On the contrary, they
picture Royal Air Force fighters
as leaping to meet approaching en-
envy bombers farther at sea.
The British have one advantage
due to their defensive role. A SUBJ
stantial portion of the rev of
British planes shot down bail outby
parachute and survive to f g h t
again. Nazi losses of air personnel
are net losses. Every German
plane brought down in England or
in waters close about England
means death or imprisonment for
its entire crew, l
