Congressional Membership Increased

A bill passed by the House of Representatives makes the membership of the House 433 instead of 391 as at present. The rearrangement of the congressional districts is left with the several States on the basis of one member for each 211,887 inhabitants. In no State is there a loss, in 25 States there is a gain. New York gains 6, California 3. The membership will be 435 if Arizona and New Mexico become States.
