TAssociated Press .Dispatchl


Washington, d. c., November 20.
Whether there will be delay in
the organization of the house and
senate appeared today to depend
largely on the attitude to be taken
by the progressive blocs.
Withdrawal of Representative
Graham of Illinois from the majori-
ty leadership fight in the house
served to remove differences among
the regular republicans, but the de-
mands of the progressives still were
unsatisfed, and their leaders were
insistent that they would be pressed
even to the extent of blocking house
organization.
While republican leaders in the
senate have decided not to raise the
issue of an election of a president
pro. tenn, democratic leaders were
prepared to go through with their
original plan of selecting full SEN
ate ticket and to seek its election.
Hold Controlling Power ~;
With neither the democrats nor
the republican organization holding
majority, the progressives admit
tedly held the controlling power.
Should they decide to put candi-
date for president pro tenn in the

was regarded generally as ineVi-
table. ~ ~ \ .. -.
This being a holiday there was
little activity at the capitol, but the
informal conferences which are be :
ing held, regarding organization OF
the house and senate will be re-
sumed tomorrow. Invitations have
been sent to sixty house members
