THE DISTRICT COMMITTEE.
Representative Jenkins May Be Re
placed by Representative Powers

Although no definite announcement or
arrangement has yet been made it Is I'M
derstood that Representative Jenkins, who
has been made chairman Of the House COM
mittee on the judiciary. will resign his COM
mittee position with the District of Column
bia committee. In view Of the proposed
antitrust legislation which is pending be-
fore the Judiciary committee. the duties as
chairman Of that committee will be partic-
uiarly arduous at the present session OF
Congress. and the chairman will have little
time to attend to other committee work.
Mr.. Jenkins has taken a great interest in
the work of the District committee in the
past. and is chairman Of the subcommittee
on the judiciary Of that commit ee.
In view Of the etiquette Of committee ap-
pointments. Mr.. Jenkins would not discuss
his probable resignation from the District
committee today. However. there is little
doubt that this will be the announcement
made In a few days.
A successor to Mr. Jenkins on the Dis
trict committee Ia also a matter of un-
certainty. 1t Is known that Representa-
tive Powers Of Massachusetts, has hereto
fore been a candidate for position on the
District committee, and the Speaker may
consider him as preferred consideration In
view Of this fact
Speaker Henderson indicated, when
questioned about the matter today that 1t
might be taken up Monday.
