In so far as possible. the new Speaker
will attempt to apply the seniority rule
in his appointments to committees. but
whether he can follow this rule In select
ing floor leader remains to be seen.
Phillips ranks Adler and Thorn ranks
Horton. although Thorn's service has not
been continuous. He served FIVE terms up

Horton is in his third continuous term.
Sweet said tonight that he probably
would let Thorn and Horton settle the
leadership between themselves, II the
fight simmered down TO them.
Two reasons, IL vas given OUT, pre-
vented Human from accepting the leader
ship Immediately. One was that he feared
his health would not permit him TO as
sumo the responsibility. The other was
that Sweet has some ideas of his own
about the power Of floor leader. and he
has insisted that Human adopt some OF
them II he takes the place. Sweet is op-
posed to eentring too much authority in
the floor leader.
