What happens then? While other states gain or maintain their rep- resentatives in Congress on 2 basis of reapportionment, Oklahuma may stand still or lose. Whi'e other states get moie money for high- ways from the Federal government, Oklahoma may have to string alon; on what it has been getiing. While the states which have Leen the mecca of the “Okies” and the “Arkies” get increases in relief tunds from Washington, Oklahoma may have to sweat through with ess than it has been receiving. And the point is that the problemn there may be no differens from what it is today, or has; been for many months. SIORY'S MANY SIDES 1 have chosen Oklahoma be- cause the Steinbeck story has made available estimates from that state. As a matter of fact, the Dakotas probably would provide mcre sen- sational figures if government agencies had carried through their | investigations in those states. There are, it is claimed, some migrant families in the country (this is a conservative es- timate—some investigators will bet a hat that there are 1,000,000) And the national average size of family will probably run one-half to one more person than in Okla- homa. That means that only 11 to 17 percent of the migrants come frora Oklahoma. So you can see that this condition is not confined to the state selected here for il- lustration.
