Tuesday, March 28, 1950 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE 0 To Gain Seats As Result Of Census at16 LOOK ... HERE'S BIG PRE-EASTER SAVINGS Oreaon Extracted I Washington, Mar. 28 U.R More than a third of the states are likely to gain or lose seats in the house of representatives as the result of the 1950 census. California may gain the most by jumping eight seats from ZJ to 31. If Pennsylvania is trimmed by two seats, as expected, it will be tied with California for sec ond place behind New York in house representation. West To Gain Frederick Belen, counsel for the house committee on post of fices and civil service, said that 18 states probably will be in volved in the switches. He said seven midweslern and western states will gain seats at the ex pense of 11 eastern and southern states. The constant shift in popula tion toward the west coast ac counts for all of the recent thanges in house representation, a onee-a-decade process, census bureau officials explained. Increase For Oreqon The size of the house has been pegged at 435 seats since 1850. Appointment changes since then have been restricted to deduct ing seats from some states and adding them to others. Only one census in 1920 resulted in no changes at all. Belen's estimates of changes as the result of the 1950 census include an increase from four to five seats for Oregon, and a gain from six to seven in Wash ington.
