Senator McCreery OF Kentucky
was elected viee-chairman and Sen
ator Owen of Oklahoma secretary.
The caucus was in session more
than two hours, the session being
prolonged because of difference of
opinion as to how the steering COM
mittee should be named.
Among the duties of the steering
committee is that of making com
mittee assignments. Senator Nc
Laurin of Mississippi moved that
the caucus elect the members of the
steering committee.
Senator Taliaferro of Florida, 1t
is understood, expressed the opinion
that the appointment of the steer
ing committee was properly pre-
rogative of the chairman of the
caucus and he thought that to de-
prive him of that privilege would be
a disparagement of him.
He moved therefore as substi-
tute that the chairman appoint the

and requested Senator McLaurln 10
