WASHINGTON, D. C. The proposed constitutional amendment to change the method of electing presidents may come cropper in the house, it (appeared Sunday night. Since the resolution breezed through the senate on Feb. 1 by vote of 64 to 27 with what seemed a minimum of debate for such a profound subject, opposition has been ballooning.

Approval Doubtful. Its test begins in the 1 house today before the rules committee, where approval is doubtful. Even if the proposal should get to the floor of the house, approval by the needed two-thirds is in question. The gist of the amendment is that it would require the splitting of electoral votes in each state in ratio proportional to the popular vote. Taft Fighting It.

The proposal had bipartisan backing in the senate, but Senator Robert A. Taft, Republican of Ohio, was against is still carrying on the fight. He said Sunday that the amendment if it becomes law would "be fatal to the hope of electing a Republican president if the election is in any way close." This view of Taft contrasted with that of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Republican of Massachusetts, that he and other Republican sponsors are "not afraid of entrusting the Republican cause to the people." Letters to Members. The opposing sentiments of these two leading Republicans were expressed in letters sent to all members of the house. Should the house approve the resolution, it then would need ratification by three-quarters of the states before it could become part of the Constitution.

Such an amendment in action might allow Republican nominee to get electoral votes in the "solid South." But commenting on this Taft said it would be "desperate gamble" for his party to depend on picking up enough in the South to offset what its candidate would lose by such splitting in the North.
