- Senators on Committees.
While there are q number of vacan-
cies on committees, the North Carolina
Senators are very we'll satisfied with
their assignments and it is not likely
that they will ask for any change
! Senator Overnlan's committees are
those on Claims. Fisheries, Forest
Reservations. Indian Affairs, PENSIONS
| and Privileges and Elections. Senator
Simmons is on the following commit
tees: Agriculture. Coast Defenses. Gu
| ban Relations, District of Columbia
| Civil Service. Postoffices and Post
Roads and Public Buildings and
| Grounds. Senator Overman may ASK
! for an assignment to the committee
on military affairs made vacant by the
death of Senator Bate. There is only
one better assignment. that mace va
cant on the committee on approprla-
/ tons. resulting from Senator COCK
! reil'S retirement. Neither of the North
Carolina Senators have had suftlclent
length of service to entite them To
this vacancy. One of the North caro-
+, lima Senators will probably go on the
Committee on Commerce as soon as
vacancy exists, but there is no telling
