After providing guidance on building schools for nearly 12 years, the 13th film prints have become completely worn out. “Building for Learning” has there fore been'retired from circulation. There is gi-atification at the Texas Engineering Experiment Station that the film has served so valuably the school construc tion field, according to Dr. Aaron Rose, director. It was produced by the Division of Architecture and the Texas En gineering Experiment Station at a time when the nation was con fronted with building schools for the millions of children born dur ing the war yeai’s. It pointed out how to plan and design school buildings giving best environmental conditions for the pupil and adaptability for modern techniques of education. It gave special emphasis to having ade quate natural ventilation and light ing and good acoustics in school buildings. Its showings were mostly at meetings of school boards, Pai’ent- Teacher’s Assn., architects, college students and educators. lay to July CLOSING OUT SALE , 4 fe,? M \ ?

FORD Yssociated Press Staff Writer The loud screams to be heard soon from Washington and Austin will be lawmakers debating the question of who gains congress men and who loses them. The 1960 census will show many population changes, meaning a re apportionment of cong?'essmen be tween states and a redistricting within states. Present indications are that Texas will gain one representative. This without question will create a dispute about which areas will gain it. This will be for the Leg- islature to decide. Population shifts between states will force a realignment of the number of representatives in many states. The House normally has 435 members. Admission of Alaska and Hawaii as states raised the nuThber to 437. Congress Must Meet Problems Congress will be faced with the problem of (1) taking some repre sentation away from some states and adding such representation to others or (2) increasing the num ber in the House. It still is too' early to determine which plan will be followed. Best available figures show' that these states will lose: New Yo?-k and Pennsylvania, 3 each; Arkansas, 2; Massachusetts, 2; and one each in Alabama, Illinois, Mississippi, Noi'th Carolina, Neb raska, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Ken tucky, Minnesota and West Vir ginia. California is in position to gain 8; Florida, 4; Hawaii, 2 (including the one seated when it became a state); and one each in Texas, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio, Alaska (the one seated when it became a state) and Arizona. Jobs May Be Lost Entering into the debate will be such factors as representatives’ jobs evaporating, loss of votes by the conservative to more liberal states of the Midwest and Far West and possible loss by one party or the other of representa tives in a particular state. After Congress decides how many representatives each state will have, it informs each state’s governor. It then is up to the Legisla tures to determine how they shall select their congressmen. Long Time Thinking Texas took plenty of time after the 1950 census to determine the district from which its new con gressmen would be elected. It used the system of electing a con gressman at-large—the whole state voted for one congressman — for six years. Then this position was assigned by the Legislature to Harris Coun ty (Houston), giving the coastal city two congi'essmen. After the 1930 census, Texas elected three at-large congressmen but redistricted them in time for the 1934 elections. Population shifts within the state could cause wholesale redis tricting of Texas to even up the population in each district. Rayburn May Lose It might even affect Dist. 4, where House Speaker Sam Ray burn has fought off for 47 years all efforts to change the boundary of the area he represents.
