The situation in the House of Rep
resentatives resulting from difficulties
among Republicans over the appoint

committee.
Orders From Party Chiefs
Representative Elmer Waters. who

1T would certainly be strange If we
did not consult the Governor and the
State committee on who is to make up
the committees" he answered.
DO you wish to be quoted as say
ing the Governor and the State com
mittee are debating the action OF the
speaker concerning committee ap-
pointments?" he was asked.
