CHANGES IN SIGHT
Nb.G. COMMITTEE:
Representative Wheeler Is
Likely to Succeed Mr..
Mapes as Chairman.

Representative Carl +. Mapes OF
Michigan, who is serving his second
term as chairman of the House Dis
trict committee, is to leave the Dis
trict committee in the new Congress
to become a member OF the commit
tee on interstate and foreign COM
merce. 1t is probable that Loren Z.
pleting his eighth year as a member
Of the House District committee. will
succeed Mr.. Mapes as chairman.
Representative Ben Johnson OF Ken
lucky. who has been member of the
House District committee for four
teen years. and who was chairman
for eight years, also will leave the
committee in the next session to be-
come a member Of the appropriations
committee.
Virginia, who is now serving his
first term as a member of the Dis
trict committee, and one or two other
members expect appointment to some
other major committee in the next
session.
The withdrawal of Mr. Mapes. who
is serving out his tenth year as a MEM
ber of. the District committee, leaves
Representative Ben K. Focht of PENN
sylvania as next in line for chairman
of the committee. Representative
Focht. however, is already chairman of
the COIIlI1tLlce OH Wal CialiiIS, duu " OU-
ably will not care to surrender that
craftsmanship for the Craftsmanship of
the House District committee.
Friends Of Representative Focht
have already impressed upon him the
important position he will hold as
chairman of the committee on war
claims. and are unanimous in saying
that he will not surrender that chair
manship to be head of the House Dis
trict committee.
The question of personnel of the
House District committee in the next
session Of Congress is being given the
most serious consideration by leaders
and by the committee on committees.
1t is expected that the House District
committee will handle more important
legislation in the next Congress than
at any time in the last decade.

which would authorize the Commis-
sioners to accept donation from

1t was the consensus of opinion
that it would be impossible to get
legislation through at this session

by waiting for the next session. MI.
Noyes and DR.. Bowerman explained
that the Carnegie trustees are ready
to expend not less than $4,000 to

Representative Murphy of Ohio em-
phasized that Congress should pc lid

laid stress on the fact that the major

are government employees, whom 1t
will fit to do their work better. es-
pecially the employees Of the navy

sire to cooperate in the development
of a. chain Of branch libraries as a
part of the educational system or the
National Capital. DR.: BoWerman

years ago and that action has been
