DEMOCRATS TALK OF
/. BUDGET COMMITTEE
j.
SherIey's Resolution Provides
for Board to Handle All
Supply Measures.

A change in the manner. of making
appropriations is probable as the re-
suit of the initial action taken by the
caucus last night of House Demo-
Gratis. The caucus adopted a resolu-
tion appointing special committee
to investigate the feasibility of bud
get system of appropriations.
This committee, which will be ap-
pointed by the caucus chairman, Con-
gressman Palmer, will take under ad-
visement the resolution introduced by
Congressman Swagar Sherley, OF Ken
lucky. For the last few sessions Mr..
Sherley had introduced resolutions in
the House providing for the creation
or a budget committee and for CEN
tralized authority in handling the
supply bills.
The caucus resolution, introduced by
Congressman Underwood, directs the
investigating committee to study
system whereby 1.-The total of app-o-
priations may the better be controlled.
a reduction in expenditures attained
and confusion and duplication of ap-
propriations avoided"
Wants One Body.
II is specifically required that the
investigating committee shall report
upon the practicability of a plan
whereby all supply bills shall be
handled by one big committee, as pro-
posed in Congressman Sherley's reso-
luton.
When Mr.. Sherley proposed the bud
get system several years ago he
didn't get anywhere with the idea.
The vast appropriations of the last
session, however, have brought Demo-
Gratis 10 a realization that change
in the system of appropriating is i'm
peratiye and the chances are that
budget plan will be put in operation
during the Sixty-third Congress.
The caucus elected to fill Democratic
vacancies on the Ways and Means
COMMITTEES the following:
Jonn Garner, of Texas: James W.
Collier. of Mississippi; Augustus o.
Stanley, of Kentucky.
They succeed Congressmen Randell,
of Texas; Brantley, of Georgia and
James, of Kentucky. all of whom re-
tired from the House March 4.
Congressman Covington. of Mary
land: Saunders. of Virginia and Bart
lett. of Georgia, and Taylor. OF Colo
RADIO. were also candidates for the va
cant places on the powerful Ways
and Means Committee.
To Name Others.
The other committees of the House
will be named by the Ways and Means
Committee, which is also the steering
committee. At the caucus yesterday
alfalfa Bill Murray, of Oklahoma, a
new member, proposed to abolish the
rule making the Ways and Means COM
mittee the steering committee. He pro-
posed special committee on commit
tees, comprising members elected with
reference to geographical zones. Al
