Washington. April g. A Join: reso-
luton for q Congressional "joint com
mittee on the conduct Of the war" was
introduced simultaneously to-day by
Senator Weeks, OF Massachusetts. and
Representative Madden. Of Illinois,
both Republicans. The committee
would be composed Of six members Of
the Senate. including four Democrats
and two Republicans, and six from the
House, evenly divided between Repub-
licsns and Democrats.
The resolution provides that the
committee shall be known as the Joint
Committee on the Conduct OF the War
and shall sit during the sessions OF
recesses of Congress. shall make s/P-
cial duty Of the problems arising gu,
Of the war, shall confer and ADVISE
with the President of the United States
and the heads Of the various executive
departments and shall report to Con-
gress from time TO time in its own dis
erection or when requested TO do so by
either branch OF Congress"
The committee would be clothed
with the widest powers OF investiga-
ton, compelling testimony under oath.
Some Democratic members Of the
Rules Committee we're said tonight 70
favor the resolution, which is virtually
certain 10 receive general Republican
support Chairman Overman will call
a meeting TO consider it later m the
week.
It's passage BY both houses might
rake it possible 10 end the special ses-
sion Of Congress as soon as tne Ad-
ministrstion war legislation programme
Las been enacted. and It would furnish
a means by which Congress could keep
in close touch with the conduc. OF the
WAY, even durin. recess.

that you call a meeting Of Governors to
