resumed their work and settled down
to the grind that confronts them.
The house named its committee,
the senate initiated Lieutenant Gov
ernor Howard into the mysteries OF
lawmaking and listened to Ex-Lieu.
tenant Governor Tom Majors tell of
the olden days in law making.
In the selection of house commit
tees there was little dissension in the
democratic caucus. That body met
and put the seal of approval on the
activities OF the committee on COM
mittees.
1t took new ground in barring
the memgers OF the committee on
committees from membership on the
sitting committee, the body which
takes charge Of the general file at
the fag end of sessions. This Is
done for the purpose of keeping con-
troll of lawmaking from one commit

new lawmakers and those old law
makers who have participated heavily
in the early session something to do
in the windup.
