novel complications over the persons

The minority leader, Clark, still with
holds his approval OF the appointment
Of Harrison. of New York, and Brous-
sard, of Louisiana, as the new minority
members of the committee, because Of
the displeasure among house democrats
over the action of these two men In
joining the bolt Monday on the rules

1t is believed Broussard will acceps
the appointment, as he did not attend
the caucus, which declared THAT no
democrat should accept a committee
appointment without previous approv.
al of the present minority leader"
Harrison. who attended the caucus,
announced he would abide by its &C.
ton. If Harrison refuses to serve on the
committee 1t is believed the speaker
will lay the matter before the house for
action. Under the rules the house
only can excuse a member from duty
on committee, and such question once
put to the house might prove uncom-
Portable to the insurgents" Further
complication in committee assignments
are anticipated when the speaker am
