DelawaPe's representation to the
Democratic national convention has
been cut from 10 to six for the
1852 Chicago meeting, an action
approved by the party's national
committee In Denver, Colo, last
week.
The reappOrtiOnment, it was an
nounced, was carried out on a basis
Of population changes according to
the 1850 census, and the 194g cleo
tiOn results.
That year, although Gov. Elbert
n. Carvel's Democratic adminstra-
tiOn carried the state, Delaware
was carried BY Thomas e. Dewey.
Republican candidate, in the presi-
dental elections.
New Jersey was among the other
states losing four votes, dropping
from S6 to 80, while MARYLAND fell
from 90 to Is.
The move gives added voice to
the western states, made up bv
losses from the states which failed
to return maiorities to President
Truman, and thus lost their bonus
Of four delegates each. States which
lost in the population census were
