Leader Opens
Doors For Row

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.|41-1he
problem OF choosing a majority lead
er "a succeed Senator Charles Cur
Tia of Kansas, vice-president-elect,
u giving republican members OF the
senate some political pastime after
the serious labors Of a national cam
paign .
An apparently friendly contest
which is still a free-for-all is being
waged in behalf of some Of the older
republican senators with the names
Of Senators Watson Of Indiana, Jones
Of Washington. McNary of Oregon,
Tess Of Ohio. Moses of New Hamp-
shire and Reed of Pennsylvania,
among those under discussion.
Seniority has always been the
guiding light in the determination Of
senate posts but this has been waiv-
ca IN recent years in the selection Of
the party leader. when Senator
Lodge OF Massachusetts, died four
years ago, Senator Curtis was chosen
rs his successor although he was
outranked by Senator Warren OF
Wyoming, Smoot OF Utah and Borah
of Idaho.
These three veterans have indicat-
cd again That they prefer the chair
manships Of their important commit
tees Of the cares Of a floor leader
and 81 the contest has been thrown
vide open once more.

plea Of the latter two cities for

hearing Oh the matter today BIZ ~.
b. Farris Of Ennis, director ot the
Texas Farm Bureau Association and

Farris. who said his organization

quested the commission also 70 con-
slider whether a decrease OF the
Houston rates TO Galveston's level,
as another means of equalization,
might cause rate increases in other
parts Of the state in compensation.
He further expressed the view that
if the railroads could stand a de-
crease Of Houston rates to equalize
por. rates, the commission should
give farm products the first prefer
ence instead.
The farm associations are neutral
in the hearing a. far as IL concerns
merely a fight between Houston and

Farris was examined by John r..
