UNBALANCED
REPRESENTATION

Most of the men who voted against
the new department come from rural
areas or small towns. Leaving aside
arguments as to whether people who
live in small towns or on farms are
better than those who live in the big,
wicked cities the fact is that they
exert power in the House far beyond
their numerical strength.
According to 1860 Census figures,
seven out of every ten Americans
live in urban areas. Of the so states,
there are only eleven that are pre-
dominantly rural. Yet on the basis
of recent studies and the way Con-
gressional districts are set-up, the
man outside the big cities has twice
the voting power of his brother who
may live in New York, Philadelphia,
Detroit or Miami.
This does not mean that the Con-
gressmen who come from the rural
areas necessarily act in the interests
of their constituents. Nor does it
mean the big city Representative
are as 'liberal' as they profess to
be, or as devoted to the interests of
the workingman.
What it does mean is that the rural
Representative is disproportionately
more influential than the man who
comes from the urban area. Among
other things he tends to stay in
Congress longer, thus acquiring the
seniority which, elevates him to COM
mittee chairmanships.

Toxic-Treoted Wheat
Turns Children Hairy

Treated United States seed
wheat, not meant to be eaten,
has turned thousands Of Turk
ish children into ''hairy, mon
key-faced" beings. 9 South
African physician said yester-

More than 5000 Turkish
children were afflicted by toxic
porphyria In 1860 as O result
Of grinding the seed wheat into

The outbreak was noticed In

Five years later DR.. Jeoffrey
Dean Of Port Elizabeth, South
Africa, who specializes in por-
phyrias. travelled to Turkey to
investigate.
He said he found that the
seed wheat. treated with q
fungicide called hexachloro-
benzene. was being ground for
bread. Consumption Of the
wheat caused exposed skin to
be sensitive and blister. Marked
hairiness, particularly Of the
face" was also characteristic,
