BY WILL p. KENNEDY,

Der OF veteran members will be miss
ing In the rext Congress, do not give
much OF an indication regarding party
control. 1t is still an open fight.
The veteran members who will be
absent come for the most part In the
class of those, who, like Speaker Gill
lett, after 80 years Of consecutive
service. sought higher honors in the
Senate. or who have retired volun-
tarily-like Representative Sydney
Anderson of Minnesota, John c. Nc
kenzie of Illinois, or Representative
George M. Young of North Dakota
The Republicans have lost heavily in
this way. The only woman membe r
of Congress, Mrs. Mae Nolan of Cali
fornia. did not seek reelection.
OF course there are notable illus
trations of those who were retired by
the voters against their will-Such as
Representative Frank Clark of Flor
ida, Democrat, who has served 20
years continuously: or Representative
Charles B. Davis. Republican of Min
nesota. who has served % years con-
tinuously; or Representative George
w. Edmonds ofs Pennsylvania, who
served IL years continuously: or Rep
resentative Peter F. Tague Of Mas
sachusetts, a member of the ways and
means committee; or Representative
Merrill Moores of Indiana, secretary
of the committee on committees.
Caxualties From senate Fights.
Several good men are lost to the
House through their defeat in con-
tests for the Senate, such as Chair
man Dallinger of the House commit
tee on education, who contested
against Speaker illett for the Re
publican nomination for the Senate,
and Representative James f. Byrnes
of South Carolina, valuable men,
ber of the House appropriations COM
mittee. who was defeated by Cole
Blease for the Senate.
A notable feature as far as resi-
dents of the District are concerned is
that both the chairman of the House
committee having jurisdiction over
legislation affecting the National
Capital and the chairman of the sub
committee which handles the District
appropriation bill-wfll be absent
from the next Congress. Represen-
tative Stuart F. Reed of West Vir-
ginia. chairman of the House Dis
trict legislative) committee, volun-
tairly retires after eight years of
consecutive service. Representative
Charles r. Davis, chairman of the
Subcommittee on District appropri-
ations. was defeated in the primaries.
