KITCHIN TOBE
FLOOR LEADER
Physician Advises Duties on
Committee Would Be
Too Strenaous.

All speculation as to who the
Democratic floor, leader will be in
the next Congress was ended yester-
day when it became known that
Claude Kitchin. of North Carolina.
ranking minority member of the
Ways and Means Committee and
floor leader during Champ Clark's
regime as speaker. has indicated
his intention of accepting the post
himself.
It was at FIRST thought that
Kitchin's health would not permit
him to accept the position, and
Representative John Garner of
Texas was being groomed for the
post.
1t Is understood, however. that
Kitchin's physician has stated that
his duties as floor leader will be
less dangerous to his health than
would be the post of ranking minor
ity member on the Ways and Means
Committee. where he would be
under continuous pressure during
revision of revenue Legislation.
1t is also understood that the floor
leadership is more preferable to Mr..
Kitchin himself, and that ends the
matter.

PERSHING'S TRIP OFF;
LEAVES FOR A REST

Gen. John ]. Pershing left wash
ington yesterday for Roslyn Cot
tage, Long Island. where he will re-
side for two months for the pur-
pose of obtaining a much-needed
rest. Before his departure he an
nounced that he had decided not to
make the trip to South America,
which was planned by the admins
tration as a visit OF courtesy to all
the republics which Joined the
United iStates> in the war.
II is probable the trip may be
made in the early part of next YEN
His reason for abandoning the visit
at this time is Understood to be
that because OF the pressure OF
work he did not believe Il possible
to get away.
Rumors that Gen. Pershlng was
about to take a bride were revived
with his departure for the Long
Island cottage. but members of his
staff declared they knew nothing on
the subject. Gen. Pershing has al
ways denied such rumors when
questioned about them.
