Permanent Tarin Board

Washington, January 2.-The repub- lcan members of the House committee on ways and means held another confer ence today on the question of legislation to provide for a permanent tariff board.

Large Committees plnpned

Washington, January A.-Large com mittees will be the rule in the lower house of the Sixty-second Congress
 Under a resolution offered by Represent tative Covington of Maryland and car ried by the caucus of the democratic representatives-elect on Thursday night. all the important committees will have . total membership of 21 each. There is no disposition to cut down the minority representation on these bodies and it 10 felt by the democratic leaders that some time in the future the numerical strength of the House will be augmented. The rules committee, on account of its par ticular functions, will not be so enlarged.
 Chairman Underwood of the prospective ways and means committee, which will name the committees, said today that aside from the rules committee, the stand ing committees of the House will prob ably not be constructed for months. De- spite MT. Underwood's declaration that none of the chairmanships has been de- termined, it was pretty generally under stood among the democratic leaders that MT. Henry of Texas will be chairman of the rules committee: MT. Clayton of Ala bama, chairman of judiciary; Mr. Adam son of Georgia, interstate and foreign commerce; MT. Lloyd of Missouri. post office; Mir. Hay of Virginia. military af- fairs; MT. Padgett of Tennessee. naval affairs. and MT Flood of Virginia, for eien affairs,

No Further Action Will Be Necessary Until New
 Congress Meets
CONTESTS FOR PLACES
 ARE STILL VERY LIVELY
Nr. Underwood and His Colleagues Are Now Dey0ting Their Time to the Committee on Rules and
 Will Not Hurry
BY wATTERsON sTEALEY

Washington, January 21.-(Special) Representative Underwood of Alabama, chairman of the ways and means com mittee, which selects the committees of the House stated today in response to numerous inquiries that his com mittee had not met and that all re- ports of committee assignments were purely speculative. With the excep- ton of one committee-rules-th is no necessity for the "quattuor decim" to take any action on the committees until the new Congress meets and it can be stated that the matter will not be closed until Champ Clark. as speaker of the House, directs that thev be read to the House from the speakers table.
 Of course, it is presumed that about two-thfrds of the next chairmen will be the present ranking minority mem. bers who were reelected to the House but otherwise 1t is purely p,,essn,or,, to attempt to name the chairmen of at least 70 out of the sixty-odd House committees. According to members of the fourteen" there have been no bar gains made for any of the Chairman ships.
 The Washington papers state today. Tor instance, that Representative pou of North Carolina is to get the chair manship of the District of Colurb,a committee for the reason that he was not given place on ways and means This guess may be accurate. but there mas been no deal to this effect. On tle other hand, Representative on,e Jama. member of the "committee on som- mittees," Is trying to land the nlaca Tor Representative Ben Johnson. and as the Kentuckian is pretty good hghter 1t Is not beyond the range of possibilities that he will succeed To complicate matters for both Messrs. Pou and Johnson Representative Aiken of south Carolina is the ranking demo-
 crat on the committee and if the st, ior- ity rule Is followed would become the chairman.
 Just at present MT. Underwood and his colleagues are devoting their time To one committee-rules-an little | progress has been made so far in se- lecting the six democrats who will form the majority of it. MT Henry of Texas is expected to be chairman. and Hardwick of Georgia, Stanley of Ken lucky. and Graham of Illinois may bs three other members. There is no cer- tainty about any of them.
