WILLIAMS TURNED

Minority leader Not Considered

a month refused 10 accept the recon-

crat to ill d vacancy on an important
committee
J Leader Williams designated Repre-

the matter until Speaker Cannon an
nounced the appointment of Represen-

Leader Williams was dumbfounded
He was mad and didn't hesitate to
voice and show his displeasure. He
| feels that the speaker is trifing with
the minority and ignoring its organi-
zatiOn. He was in conference with

course he should pursue, and it is in
intimated that he may try to induce

Thomas Bracket Reed was speaker

speaker would adopt his recommenda.

Representative Shirley is from
