K|TCHIN ID SEEK SPEAKERSH|P Il.
 DEMOCRATS WIN
Garrett Would Be Elected Without Opposition if Pres ent TituIar Leader Does
 Not Seek Honor
By HVGR W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, The Age-Herald.
 800 Davidkon Building.


 Washington, March 1s.-(SpeciaL) If democrats win the House in the coming congressional elections, 1t Is understood today that Claude Kitchin titular democratic leader, will come to Washington, despite his ill., ness and ask for the speakership.
 In that event, big battle would be unavoidable.
 If the report from Scotland Neck home of Mir Kitchin, is incorrect democrats would organize without any friction. Representative Ffnis Garrett of Tennessee, now acting leader, and regarded as perhaps the sblest democrat in the House, would be elected speaker without opposi- tion. Representative John Garner ot Texas, after Kitchin. ranking demo- cratic member of the ways and means committee, would be elected leader, and without opposition.
 Garner Would offer
 If Kitchin should make the race, however, he would have opposition even were Garrett to decline to op- pose him, and retain title to the leadership.
 Garner, his friends declare, would offer for the speakership.
 MT. Kitchin. since suffering a stroke of paralysis, has seldom ap- peared in Congress. As speaker, he would have the honor without the ability frequently to preside over the House.
 While his claim to the honor and varf a strong appeal, especially among the older members of the House, it-is not conceded even by his friends that he would be elected. The new House, especially if it be democratic, will number many new faces.
 The democrats will certainly re- duce the republican majority. This would not dispieases republicans, in- cidentally. It is not a foregone con- elusion. however, that democrats will be able to wipe out the present overwhelming republican advantage. If they do, it will be the result of a political revolution.
 Committee on Committees
 But win or lose. the democrats in all probability will deprive the dem iocratic membership of the ways and means committee of the right to name democratic members of all com mittees of the House. Representa- tive James F. Byrnes of South Caro- lima, and other leading members of the democratic side. are already in- sisiting that the democrats name a committee on committees.
 On such a committee, every state with democratic membership would have repI esentation. and every state's representative would have as many votes in committee as the state has i'll the House. Such a committee could eauitably dispose of the plums. On tbc ways and means committee, many states have no representative. There is no equity, 1t is pointed out by Mr Ryrnes, in permitting such committee to assign theg entire :. democratic membership.

WILL INVESTIGATE
 STATE'SF ABILITIES
 FOR WAREHOUSING
Farm Bureau Will Inspect Cotton Storing Buildings in Alabama in Connection
 With Big Pool

Montgomery, March 1s-(Special.) ) For the purpose of collecting in- formation as to the cotton warehouse ing facilities in Alabama, Roy c. Bishop, secretary manager of the Alabama Farm Bureau federation, announced that this organiza- tion will appoint a special committee at an early date to make a thorough investigation of the warehouse facil- ities and equipment in every county of the state.
 Mir Bishop made this announce ment in answer to an inquiry con corning the intentions of the Ala> bama Farm Bureau Cotton assoeia- tion. with reference to warehousing.
 "Warehousemen of the state have much to gain by the Farm Bureau cotton pool plan," said MT. Bishop, because it calls for much greater warehousing facilities due to the sub stituting of orderly marketing for dumping, making 1t necessary to keep cotton in warehouses for a much longer period of each year"
 Discussing the proposition further, Mir. Bishop stated that one of the chief advantages of the cotton pool plan is that 1t will eieminate "coun- try damage" by bringing cotton in from the backyards, under trees, and otherwise out in the weather. and storing 1t in satisfactory warehouses. According to government estimates, this Country damage" varies from $6 to s25 per bale, amounting to sev- eral million dollars on the Alabama crop each year, which damage will be eliminated by the Farm Bureau mar lSeting plan, because under it. cot ton is moved immediately from the gin to the warehouse.
 Information already received indi- cates that there are plenty of ware houses in Alabama to handle the cot ton of this association and that it will not be necessary to construct new ones.
