COMMITTEE JOBS
ARE TURNED DOWN
BY PROGRESSIvES

Washington. May 20-The possi-
bility that senate Republicans of
the Progressive wing may take no
part in the selection of senate
committees developed today when
Senators Kenyon of Iowa and
Jones of Washington followed the
example of Senators Borah of Ida
no and Johnson of California and
announced they would not accept
places on Republican Leader
Lodges committee on committees.
Borah and Johnson were given
places on the selecting Dody yes
terday by the Republican leader,
but they declined because Kenyon
and Jones had been selected for
the places by the Prcgressives.
Senator Lodge, however. refused TO
reconsider his selections.
The whole controversy is an
outgrowth of the fight made by the
Progressive element against the
proposed selection of Senator Pen
rose of Pennsylvania and Warren

two Of the most powerful standing
committees.
