CLARED AT POLLS
by associated PrcsS.)

WASHINGTON. ID. O.. March b
Senator r. II. Kern, explaining today
to the senate democratic caucus the pur-
pose of the new method Of selecting
committees. said:
we propose that this great body shall
be democratic not only in name but in
practical reality and that the charge so
often made that it is controlled by few
men through committee organizations
shall no longer have basis i'll fact We
believe these plans, if adopted, will en-
able the senate to become powerful
agency for the registration Of the peo-
pies will and to respond quickly to de
mands expressed at the polls"
The proposals would permit ma jor-
lty OF democrats on any committee to call
il together at any time. Each committee
will select its own chairman and a full
democratic caucus will approve all
steering committee recommendations
before they become effective.
