TIE BIG THREE

ArE btL lffhEE
The house has a steering committee to chart the
course of Legislation. but IL is not often called upon to
function. ~Longworth, Tilsorl and Smell get together
and talk things over. They determine Just what
course shall be followed and the house acquiesces.
All three are veterans in point OF congressional SER
vice. Longwcrth and Tilson have been in the house
"a years. Smell has been there II.
And between each there exists a warm and fast
friendship. They often are seen together outside the
house and move in much the same social circles in
Washington.
Longworth and Tilson are especially good friends,
The former IS a Harvard man and the latter Yale.
Not 50 long ago Tilson's alma mater gave him his Y
in recognition Of his achievements In public life. Smell
is a graduate Of Amherst.
OF the trio Tilson is perhaps the most colorful. Al
though a son OF the south Che was born in Tennessee),
he was reared in q family that sympathized with the
north during the civil war, and has been a lifelong
republican.
