California would gain six members, Michigan four, Ohio three, Texas and New Jersey two, while Connecticut, Florida, Oklahoma and Washington would each gain one member along with North Carolina, according to the estimates made on the probable population of 1930.
Missouri would lose two members and each of the following states would lose one member: Indiana, Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska, Rhode Island and Vermont
Senator Vandenburg has introduced a similar measure in the senate with the avowed object of expediting the passage of the bill.
