WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Irho sen
ate agriculture committee whose
membership incf1dts "a number OF
members of the new prpGreAsive bloc
won n race today with the senate
judiciary committee in the movement
TO amnd the constitution SO that a
newly elected would meet
soon after congressional elections.
While o judiciary subcommittee
was holding hearings on a resolution
with such provisions offered by SEN
ator Ashurst. Democrat. ARIZONA. the
agriculture committee authorized its
chairman to report n resolution as n
substitute for one by Senator Cara
way. Democrat. Arkansas. TO prohibit
defeated members of congress from
voting on other than routine legisla-
ton in .he session OF the old con-
gross meeting after elections.
The caraway resolution was sent to
the agricultural committee when In
troCuced recently at the request of
its authority who said tha. II sent
to the Judiciary committee II prob
ably would be allowed to die.
The Ashurst resolution on which
the judiciary subcommittee held a
hearing provides hat presidents are
to be inaugurated in January after
their election and that h new CON
gress every two years is to
the same month. the present final De
cember session Of congress to be
abolished.
Senator Ashurst appeared to II
adoption OF the amendment he pro-
posed. as did William Lowell Putnam,
a Boston attorney. on behalf Of the
American Bar association, which has
endorsed the plan.
Slow transportation and other rea-
sons for the present constitutional
plan no longer exists, Senator
Ashurst and Mr.. Putnam said. They
also argued that there would be a
letter pon to public opinion by
having a newly elected congress meet
sooner.
One of the objections to the plan
which Senator Ashurst said was not
well founded was that weather con
ditions in mid-winter might prevent
outdoor Inauguration ceremonies.
