Maryland Gains l Seat In House
Due to her phenomenal growth
in population-311 per cent in 1C
years, according to the new census
Maryland is likely to pick up an
other seat in the U. S. House of
Representatives Maryland will
then have eight Congressional dis
tricts instead of seven, as at pres
ent. The total number of seats in
the House remains at ABS, and these
are apportioned to the States ac-
cording to population. (Temporari-
! ly. there have been 437, 2 too many,
due to the admission of two new
| States.) Roughly speaking, the
! States which have gained in pop
ulation more than the national
average will gain one or more
seats; and the States which have
gained less than the national aver
age will lose one or more seats.
The Census Bureau must transmit
to the President by December l.,
1860, the final population figures
for each State, together with the
Bureaus plan for Reproducing
the House. The President will send
the prospective reappOrtionment
to Congress early in January, and
Congress must approve it. Congress
will then notify those States which
are to gain or lose seats, and the
respective State legislatures will
decide on the new boundaries for
its Congressional districts, and the
changes will go into effect with
the 1862 Congressional elections
According to preliminary figures,
California stands to gain seats;
Florida, 4; Maryland, Texas, Michi-
gan, New Jersey, Ohio, Arizona,
and Hawaii should gain each.
The preliminary count shows New
York and Pennsylvania each los
ing 3 seats; Massachusetts and Ar
kansas, 2 each; Alabama, Illinois,
Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine,
Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska,
North Carolina, and West Virginia
stand to lose l each.
More Fun Than Swallowing
Gold FISH Communist sympathi-
GERS and fellow-travellers over the
world, including the rats in this
country, no doubt were made very
happy over the success of the
demonstrators in Tokyo in forcing
cancellation of President Eisen-
hower's goodwill visit to Japan.
1t has been revealed that the dem
onstrations were staged by pro-
fessional Communist agitators who
paid S1.65 a day to the college
students who took part. Students
looking for excitement, and being
at the age of rebellion, and need
ing S165 (big money in Japan,
we're willing pawns in the Com
munists' deadly game. We like to
believe that the rank and file of
decent Japanese-the millions who
appreciate our rebuilding their
country and our returning them to
a position of economic stability
resent the disgracefuul actions of
their young people who made up
the Communicated mobs in Tokyo
quite as much as we resent the
disgraceful actions of the COmmu-
nist-led mob of students who last
month in San Francisco disrupted
official Congressional committee
hearings, the purpose of which was
to investigate significant Commu-
mist activities in the Bay Area. l
am sure the great rank and file
of decent Japanese would hate to
be judged by the actions of their
Tokyo mobs, just as the great rank
and file of decent Americans
would hate to be judged by the
actions of those stupid misguided
hooligans in San Francisco.
