RIGHTS Of MINORITY
DISCUSSED IN SENATE
Democrats Want Larger Rep
resentation on Its I'm
portant Committees.

Larger membership on the important
committees of the Senate will be asked
by the democrats, and there is dispo-
grant the request.
The fixing Of the ratio Of republicans to
democrats on the committees Is the next
step in the organization of the Senate
for the Sixty-second Congress. Both
sides have selected their leaders, and
the naming Of the committees will COM
plete the organization. but preliminary to
that there must be settlement of the
question whether or not the democrats,
with a larger proportion of the entire
Senate, will be granted more members
on the big committees.
Subject Of Negotiations.
This matter will be the subject Of
negotiations between Senator Gallinger,
the chosen representative of the repub-
licans. and Senator Martin. the chosen
representative of the democrats. These
two leaders will get together probably
this afternoon to talk over the situa-
ton.
It is generally believed that Senator
MIDI iii VIII lnSISl upon a ratio or seven
democrats to nine republicans on the
big committees as the ratio between
the minority and majority in the Sem
ate.
Until that question is decided, it is I'M
derstood. Senator Martin. chairman of
the democratic caucus, will not appoint
the democratic steering committee, which
Is also the committee on committees.
The personnel of the minority steering
committee is not yet determined. When
the matter came before the caucus yes

Progressives Considered.
Interest In that committee centers in
the representation which the militant
progressives' will get. OF the nine mem
bers. it is not unlikely that the progress
sives will get three, if not four members.
Such a course, 1t is argued, would help
to mend the split in democratic ranks in
a way similar to that adopted by the re-
publicans.
Senator Gallinger chairman of the re-
publican committee on committees, is
working out the assignments, and will
have q list ready to submit to the full
committee within day or so. He has
been In conference with many republican
senators during the last few days, and
has ascertatned the wishes Of most Of
them.
