 Early organization of the inter- state commerce committee is looked for and pressure will be brought for the approval of bills amending if not repeating the transportation act.

 Chairman Smith was one of those who fought the transportation act both in the committee, and on the floor of the Senate and it was be- cause of his position on the measure that Senator LaFollette from his sick room publicly indorsed MT. Smith for the chairmanship last month. de- ciaring that his election would be "a clear cut victory for the pro- gressives."
