point to the public utilities COM
mittee William Al. Roberts, who has
served as vice chairman for the

bers OF the committee are new and

The fight over Roberts removal
may reach the floor Of the fedora.
tion at the next meeting. Many
delegates are said to be up In arms
over his removal.
They contend that he was one
of the most valuable members Of
the committee. that his experience
at tie Interstate Commerce Com
mission gave him a better back
ground than anybody else in the
group.
clayton himself, Is said to be
upset over Havenner's failure to re-
appoint his young vice chairman.
AT the merger hearings before the
Public Utilities Committee and the
House District Committee last win
ter Clayton and Roberts worked
hand In hand to defeat the merger
plan advanced by Harley p. wilson.
Roberts took his vacation at the
