. BEHIND THE SCENES
lN.WASHINGTON .

This reapportionment will
have no effect on the total num-
Der of members of the House OF
Representatives, which will re-
main at the maximum OF 4So
fixed after the census of 1910.
But because of the shift OF pop
ulation between 1880 and 1910,
the reapportionment of congress
s.onal districts to be represented
m the 18th Congress converting
in January will give nine states
one less representative than
they have in the present Con-
s.ess, will give six stalls one
more representative than they
now have, and will give one
state, California, three more
representatives than it now has
The states which will lose a
representative in the next Con-
gress as the result of this reap
portionment, with the present
and new strengths of their state
delegations, are as follows:

Study that table for a mo-
ment and you'll leap to these
conclusions: Two of the states,
Oregon and California, account
ing for four of the new congress
sional seats, are Pacific coast
states with a $3.50 chance to 60
either Republican or Democrat
ic, so cancel them out. The other
five states, however, are SOUTH
ern states and unless some aw-
fully funny things that no
one has heard about have been
going on in the solid Democratic
south, reapportionment gives
the Democrats a probable gain
of five seats, automatically.
Combine the figures from
both tables, and what do you
get? The northern and presum-
ably Republican states lose eight
seats net, while the southern and
presumably Democratic states
gain five. Add those and 1t gives
the Republicans a handicap of
ID seats in the next Congress-, or

il gives the Democrats an ad-
vantage of Is seats.
The House as constituted for
the present session Of Congress
is 262 Democrats, 1875 Republic
cans, z miscellaneous and va
can't seats. To overcome the
Democratic lead under the old
apportionment, it would have
been necessary for the Republic
cans to win 48 more seats
which would have tied up the
House at PA Republicans and
214 Democrats, possibility
which no political dopesters
foresaW.
With rOlpportionment, how
ever, the effect has been to
make it NECESSARY for the Re-
publicans to win 81 seats to be
even Stephen
But prediction polls gave
the Republicans chance to win
only from 20 to 80 more seats
In the House. Take the more op.
timistic figure of 80. The re-
apportionment of Is districts has
the effect of cutting down any
such gain to a mere IL. Take the
figure of 20. The Republicans
could win 20 election contests
and still have net gain Of only
7, while any Republican gain OF
Is seats or less in election con-
tests would have the effect OF
giving the Democrats q greater
majority in the House than they
now have.

selves back in the dark days Of 1888 when the no.

premature but the intention Of that to break the

The reason why, up to recently, we found plenty
of everything in the stores was thot drawing
upon huge reserve stock made before factories be-

not being renewed, and now it is getting dsmoyingY

 The plane came back one time with it's controls riddled and cabin poek-marked by shrapney fragments Gunner Sergeant Sarinske was wounded on this flight.
 The pilot, Captain Collier David son, credits the crew with one Jap plane shot down and another prob ably destroyed in the air, in addi- tion to the damage caused by the bombs. On one flight. terrific anti aircraft fire from two small war vessels blasted the plane; a shell went clear througs the bomb bay, pierced the top of the ship and ex- ploded. The crew recovered the fir ing pin for a souvenir.
 When three Zero fighters attack ed, the bomber was badly shot up and it's rudders were partly disabled One shell exploded almost in Sarin- ske's face, but he stuck by his gun and drove the Zeros away. Sergeant Walter Baldassare got off 25O rounds of point blank range of a Zero and sent it hurling into the water.
 The crew agrees that the Zero pilots are good marksmen but they have little respect for the Jap ground crews.

Washington - The Navy
 announced today that Ameri-
 can troops at Guadalcanal had
 destroyed 12 light Jap tanks
 in the past week and in the
 last two days torpedo boats had
 scored a torpedo hit on a Jap
 destroyer engaged in reinfOre-
 ing enemy troops. The com
 munique said land fighting on
 the island the past two days
 was confined to small skir-
 mishes but American aircraft
 continued to bomb and strafe
 enemy positions west of the
 airfield.
 The Navy announced today that Army and Marine Corps troops on Guadalcanal island were successful in a counter attack retaking their original positions after the Japanese assault had pierced their lines the second time in two-day attacks which reached it's peak late Tues day afternoon in the solomons.
 The Navy reported American for ces repulsing two additional enemy thrusts at American lines pierced on the night of October 25 on the south side of the airfield at Guadal- canal Army troops threw back that attack and regained their positions on the morning of October 27.
 The eommunique said American planes in Guadaleanal were attack ing enemy shore installations. Planes moored in Rekata Bay destroyed four seaplanes on the water, bring ing to 413 the total number of Jap planes destroyed in the Solomon campaign to date. Action started among shore installations and later the American planes bombed Jap gun emplacements west of beIeag- ured Henderson airfield, destroying an anti-aircraft battery, and an am intuition dump, the communique said
 There is no further report of any recent sea fighting or further land ings of Jap endorsements on Qua daleanal, naval officers said. The communique, although describing the action as occurring three days ago, based reports on information received only today.
