DEMOCRATS GAIN
ON COMMITTEES
Slump in Republican Majority
to is to Result in 13
and 8 Ratio.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Increased democratic representa-
tion on the committees OF the new
House Of Representatives Is forecast
as a result of the reduction of the
republican majority in the House
from 10 to 16. In the last Con-
gress the republicans fixed the ratio
at two majority members to one of
.he minority, but the democrats
claim, and the republican leaders ap-
pear inclined to concede, that there
should be a reapportionment.
In the Sixty-fifth Congress. in
which the democrats had a plurality
of two, the ratio was twelve and nine
and the democratic leaders are ex-
pected to ask for the same division
in this Congress: The republicans,
particularly if they have to make
their party in making their commit
tee assignments, probably will in
sist, however, on the 13-to-S ratio
of the Sixty-sixth Congress, in
which their plurality was around
fifty.
Would Avoid Deadlock.
Majority leaders contend that too
close a division as between the two
parties might result in the defeat in
committee of administration legisla-
tion through a coalition of demo-
Gratis and the republican progress
sives. How far they will go in ac-
ceding to the demands of the pro-
gresS1veS remains to be determined,
but the leaders of the progressive
group look for an agreement in ad-
vance of the organization of the
House.
The number of places on each COM
mlttee which is to be allotted to the ma
3ority and the minority will be decided
at a conference of the majority men,
bers of the House. which. under pres
cember l, two days before the conven-
ing of Congress. Assignments of the
republican members to committees then
will be made by the committee on com
mittees, which will consist of one repub-
lican from each state with republican
committee will be made by each state
delesation in advance of the party con-
ference.
Many Vacancies.
Because OF the reapportionment that
Is to be worked out and the unusual
number of vacancies in committee
chairmanships and places, the COM
mittee on committees will face a labo-
rious task. The result of it's labors will
be subject to approval first by the party
conference and then by the House.
Democratic places on the various COM
mittees will be filled by the ranking
democrat on the ways and means COM
mittee after conference with the leaders
OF his party.
There are seventeen vacancies in COM
mittee chairmanships, due to the re-
tirement, voluntary or enforced of the
former chairmen. These committees in

among them rules,s ways and means,

fairs. There also are a number of re-
publican places vacant in each Of these
committees, but if there is a reappor-
tionment of the party membership it
will not be necessary to fill some of
them.
Representative Smell of Newt York is
in line to succeed Campbell Of Kansas
as chairman Of the rules committee.
while those in line for the chairmanships
of other important committees are

Michigan, on the ways and means Gra-
