WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. It was
predicted today that the re-appoiut-
member-
ship of the house will be signed very
soon by the president now that the
bouse has agreed to accept the senate
amendments to the measure, despite j
the fact that It is regarded In some:
resiwcts as a democratic hill.
Although t..e democrats secure j
gains In representation In the South, j
it Is pointed out that the gain of
six members from New York 'alone
should teli'd to balance up matters
from the republican viewpoint and
for this reason It Is believed Taf
will not hesitate in signing the meas
ure. The most important amendment Is
that which permits redisricting of

And referendum Instead of by legis
lative action In states where these
iaws are in force.
