u. n. Plans Final Plea
To China Reds Before
Charging Aggression
BY the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Jan. 9.-The
United Nations prepared today to
make one final appeal to the Chi
neSe Communists for peace in
Korea before taking up an Amer
lean demand to brand the Pieping
regime an aggressor.
The delay, urged by Britain's
Sir Gladwyn Jebb, will postpone
action on the American proposal
for at least 10 days or two weeks
Sit Gladwyn conceded the new
peace efforts had little chance OF
success. but said:
ut mus. be absolutely clear that
it 'fsilure) was in no way the
fault cf those nations whose one
object was not to attack China
but simply to demonstrate that
aggression does not pay"
He added. IN speech yesterday
to the 60-nation Political Com
mittee. that "the present situa-
ton in which the government of
Peiping is openly f1outing the au-
thority of the United Nations
cannot go on for long.
1t was clear today that, if Pei
ping spurns the new offer, almost
all countries outside the Russian
bloc will support American de-
mands for some action against
the Chinese Reds.
Just what form the new peace
proposals will take has not yet
been determined.

Equal Reopportionnent Asked by Truman

prior to 1929, many Of the appor-
tionment statutes enacted by the
Congress, called on the States to
follow certain standards in estab-
fishing congressional districts.
They usually provided, as, for ex-
ample, in the 1911 act (37
Stat. 13) that in each State en-
titled under the apportionment
to more than one Representative,
the Representatives should be
elected by districts composed of
contiguous and compact territory
and containing as nearly as prac-
ticable an equal number of in
habitants." These standards pro-
vided a guide for the States, which
was. in most cases, followed.
Urges Action.
"It seems to me desirable that
the Congress at this time should
give its attention to this important
problem and enact legislation sup
Elemental to the permanent legis-
lation on this subject. which would
provide the States with standards
for establishing congressional dis
tricts and indicate the congress
sional interest in compliance with
such standards"
I'm compliance with the provi-
sions of Section % of act of June
18, 1929. as amended q use. 2A)
relating to the decennial censuses
and the apportionment of Repre-
sentatives in Congress, I transmit
herewith a statement prepared by
the Director of the Census, De-
partment of Commerce, giving the
whole number of persons in each
State as ascertained under the
17th decennial census of popula-
ton. and the number of Repre-
sentatives to which each State is
entitled under an apportionment
under the existing number of Rep
reSentatives. All Indians are in
cluded in the tabulation of total
population, since all Indians are
now subject to Federal taxation.
Under the law, each State will
be entitled, commencing in the
SD Congress. to the number of
Representatives shown in the
statement. In House of 435
members, the number fixed by law,
the population changes reflected
by the census will require a
change in the number of Repre-
sentatives for Is States. Seven
States will gain and nine States
will lose seats.
"In accordance with the statute
it will be the duty of the clerk of
the House of Representatives
within Is calendar days of the
receipt of the statement I am
now transmitting, to certify to the
executive of each State the num-
ber of Representatives to which
each State is entitled. The statute
then prescribes the ways in which
any changes in the number oi
Representatives shall be handled
until the States have re-districteC
in accordance with the changes ir
population.
These procedures Of existing
law are of great value to the op-
Grafton of our Government. They
provide an established method o1

carrying out almost automatically
the constitutional plan for appor-
tloning Representatives among the
States on the basis Of population
Such legislation might re-
affirm the basic policy of our
Government to have single men,
ber districts. It might also repeat
the old and accepted standard
that congressional districts be
composed of contiguous and COM
pact territory and contain as
nearly as practicable the same
number of individuals. To give
more definitiveness to such stand
ards, it might be advisable for the
Congress to consider establishing
limits for the permitted devia-
tions in populations between dis
tricts. 1t would be possible. for
example. for the statute to specify
that no district in any State
should deviate upwards or down.
wards from the average popula-
ton of all congressional districts
of the State by, more than a
specified percentage. In terms of
the present census, an average
district of about 350.000 persons
a percentage permitting range
of about $4,000 above and below
that figure would probably allow
for the practical difficulties which
State Legislatures face in drawing
up district boundaries.
Should Assume Responsibility.
1.-THE Congress should not be
satisfied merely with enacting
such standards. 1t should assume
responsibility for seeing that the
standards are in fact complied
with. This might be done by pro-
viding for adequate reports from
the States on the action they have
taken in re-districting and con-
tinued Congressional attention to
the results.
II believe that the enactment
Of the standards by itself will have
tremendous influence and that
most States will seek earnestly to
comply. If there are occasions in
which fragrant refusal to comply
is made manifest the Congress has
power under the Constitution to
take the matter into it's own
hands.
'In any case, it is important
that proper re-districting be done
promptly. Re-districting should be
completed not later than the
spring of 1852 so that the Con-
gressional elections Of that year
may give fair representation to
all citizens of our country"
