WASHINGTON. Nov. 13. W)
States from which comes the loudest
Democratic clamor against President
Roosevelt's new deal policies will have
leu voice In the party's 1036 notional
convention than In the last one.
A tabulation today dUtelosed 31
state will have fewer votes In 1938
than In 1932.
Politicians generally bell7 Presl.
dent Roosevelt's forces will control
the convention, not only to renom
inate him but to write the platform
But they regarded the changes as
arfgr.loant In view of the posaioiuty
of e. revolt led by someone such as
Governor Eugene Talmadge oi
Georgia.
Georgia Heavy Loser.
Curiously, Georgia Is one of the
chief losers In the new allocation of
votes. It will have 24 Instead of 28.
Pennaylvania, where Mayor William
N. McNnlr of Pittsburgh haa recently
shown signs of cooperating with Tal
madge, also will lose four votes.
Other atatea which will lose
strength Include Massachusetts, where
former Governor Ely has been one
of the most persistent Democratic
critics of the administration; Vir
ginia, where Senator Glass has be
rated many new deal movca desplce
sasuranoea of party loyalty; and Mis
souri, where former Senator Reed's
caustlo voice has been raised against
almost the entire Roosevelt program.
Despite Talmadge'a criticism of the
new deal, the Georgia delegation to
the convention may be pro-Roose-relt.
Mcmbera'of the atate'a congres
sional delegation have been organis
ing a huge rally to welcome the presi
dent back to warm Springs, in which
the governor will have a little part.
, Census Basis of Cut.
Changes In the delegations will le
eult from the reapportionment of
seats In the house following the 1930
census. In the 1933 convention the
Democrats granted additional dele
gatea to those states entitled to them
under the reapportionment but de
layed cutting down those which lost
until 1936.
But under a resolution adopted at
the lnat convention, the old Demo
cratic rule giving each state two votes
for each senator and member of the
house will again be In force In 1936.
It will cut the total votes from 1154
to 1100.
The solid south will lose IB votes
tinder the new allocation. The west
will lose 20; the east 12; and the
central western states four, 4

Good News for Worried
Mothers in System Per
fected by Stanford Ex
pert After Years of Study
By KATIIEBINE BEEBB
Associated Press Staff Writer '
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Calif..
Nov. 13. (AP) Good news for
thousands of mothers worried about
their children's weight la contained
In a scientific pamphlet soon to be
published here describing a new
method of considering width as well
as height In determining normal
weight.
"Width -weight" tables have been
worked out by Dr. Helen Brenton
Pryor. assistant women's medical ex
aminer at Stanford, after five yeara
of careful study and tabulation of
more thsn 10,000 children and col
lege students. They give the child
seven chances to the one he had be
fore to weigh the proper poundage
for his age, sex and height.
The system depends on measuring
little David's bl-lllac diameter his
wiatn at tne crest or me nip-ooneoj
with sliding calipers. It has been
used to a II mi fed extent with school
children for two years, but is just
extended Into pre-school and college
fields for general use.
"Tests that have been made so
far," declared Dr. Pryor, "Indicate
Injustice has been done to about
30 per cent of those measured and,
labeled too thin or too fat under
the old one-dimension tables."
So when David brings home a
card from school warning that he
msy be under-nourished, bis mother
may be right when she protests In
dignantly, "David Is perfectly well.
He doesn't need to' be any fatter; tho
Perkinses are-Just built that way."
The stocky girl who pines to ne
willowy and starves herself into
nervous Irritability may Just as well
,jive It up after a glance at her bl-
lllac measurement and the new
charts. She could devote her energies
to designing becoming clothes for
herself as she Is.

OREGON, "WEDNESDAY,
TOY FINDS
OF
E
Nothing sharpen the patriotism of
an American so much as & tour of
Europe.
ThK Is the conviction today of
Clarence J. Toy. who has Just returned
from a Journey that took him through
several of the principal countries of
Europe. He spent four and a half
months on hla tour and visited In
England, Wales. France, Italy- Aus
tria, Germany and Belgium. While
abroad he wrote & aeries of articles
for the Mail Tribune and they were
declared by many readers to be
among the most sprightly, penetrat
ing and entertaining travelogues they
had ever read.
"The standard of living In moat
European countries la so low that
Americans, even the most Impover
ished, would loath to change places
with the Europeans," Mr. Toy said.
"The way most of the people over
there live Is really pitiable. Tho poor
est family In this country Is well off
by comparison."
European statesmen have done
nothing to temper old war hatreds,
Mr. Toy said, but on the contrary
seem Intent upon keeping them allvg.
War hysteria Is prevalent In all the
countries he visited and soldiers may
be seen in even the smallest hamlets,
he asserted. There Is a general feeling
of distrust and a fear that war may
descend upon them at almost any
moment, he declared.
"In Paris may be seen large signs
that tell the people how to protect
themselves In case of air raids," Mr.
Toy related. "And while I was in
Paris the streets were being ripped
up so that underground shelters
might be provided against he rav
ages of bombings from abov5."
He found Italians to be very bitter
against England.
While he was treated fairly enough
in all the countries he visited. Mr.
Toy said that Germany was the fair
est when It came to changing for serv
ices and commodities. While prices
there were high, he wns asked to pay
no more than the natives paid where
as In the other countries the prevail
ing practice was to mulct the Ameri
can tourist for all It waa thottght h
would stand. Mr, Toy said. Even when
charges were pre-arranged, some ex
cuse would be found in most coun
tries for extracting an additional pay
ment, sometimes only a pittance,
from Americans.
Mr. Toy arrived back In New York
October 17. He was met by his mother,
who lives.ln California, and they pro
ceeded by train to Detroit where Mr.
Toy bought a new car. From there
they motored to the west coast.
Mr. Toy is employed by the Califor
nia Packing corporation. Upon his re
turn he was Informed of a promotion
to the company's Portland office and
henceforth will be stationed In the
upstate city. Charles Roberts, who
substituted for Mr. Toy here, will re
main as bis successor.
