Cong. White May
Get Craftsmanship
Fisheries Committee
Especial to kennebec JournaN

Washington, ID. G.. Oct. S.--A poSsi-
White of Maine Will succeed the late
Congressman Greene of Fall River as
cha irman of the House committee on
merchant marine and fisheries has been
brought to light through perusal of
the list of ranking members. Mr..
White Is third on the list, but the two
representatives above him have other
important committee posts which they
may not wish to forego in'order to take
the chair of the Greene committee.
Mr.. White has been particularly
active member of the committee and. in
fact. is the author of several important
bills introduced for consideration by
it. His Alaskan fisheries bin of the
last session was considered OF especial
Importance. and for this reason those
in touch with the situation at the Cap
itol believe the Maine congressman
well fitted for the post left vacant by
Mr.. Greenes death.
The ranking member OF the marine
and fisheries committee is Congressman
Edmonds of PENNSYLVANIA. But he il
also chairman of the House committee
on claims. That. to be sure, is not as
important az the Greene committee. but
with the unsettled conditions as to con-
troll of the House In the next Congress
il is thought likely that he would pre-
fer to continue the leadership with the
committee with which he is necessarily
the more familiar Scott of Michigan
is the second i'm line. but he is also
member of the important rules commit
tee and could not remain there If he
were to accept the vacant chairman
ship. Hence it would seem quite likely
that the New Enelander will succeed
Uncle Billy" in tho chair.
