Washington, December ls.-Standing committees of the Senate were annoueed today in accordance with assignments ar- ranged by a committee appointed by the republican caucus and the democratic steering committee acting separately. Ev- cry republican senator was given a chair manship except Senator Burton of Kan sas, who was ignored entirely as to as- signments In response to his request that he be not placed on any committees pend ing the determination of charges against him in the courts. The action of the re- publican committee however, precipitated a debate in the Senate as to the status of senators convicted of offenses.
