Threatening the Administra.
lions legislative program and
even jeopardizing party success
at the elections next November,
the Republican membership Of
the Senate was engaged today in
q terrific undercover battle over
committee assignments.
" The row grew out of the de-
sire Of Senator Robert M. La
Toilette to serve upon the Finance
Committee, on which his father be-
fore him had been a member.
The Wisconsinite's appointment
would give the DemocrRtic-In -Insur.
gent coalition a majority of one
-if Senator CouZens (R.) of
Michigan, voted with them-on
the committee which drafts all
the Senate's tax, revenue and
tariff legislation. Senator Smoot
(R0 Of Utah, the chairman, and
other conservative Republicans i'm
mediately objected. Smoot went
so far as to threaten to resign
the Craftsmanship If La Toilette
were placed on it. 4
Threaten Punishment
The Insurgents threatened dire
punishment for Old Guard Re
publicans if La Toilette were de-
MED the post. They held a con.
ference and voted unanimously
to back La Toilette to the limit.
What that limit might be they
would not disclose.
One compromise proposal was
whispered in Republican circles,
by which Senator McMaster (R.)
Of South Dakota, would be given
q place on the Finance Commit
tee, and La Toilette a post on the
Interstate Commerce Committee.
on which the elder La Toilette also
served. It was said McMaster,
q banker and the least radical
of the Insurgents, would be &C.
ceptable to the old guardsman
as a Finance Committee member.
The insurgents however spurned
the compromise.
The battle had it's inception
months ago when it became known
that Senator Edge (R) of New
Jersey would go to Paris as Ameri-
can ambassador. La Toilette i'm
mediately claimed the vacancy his
departure would leave on the FL
nance Committee. Edge held on,
however, and nothing was done.
When the New Jersey Senator, did
resign, Senator Goff (R.) of West
Virginia, a regular, filed for the
post. Entering the Senate before
La Toilette, he was entitled to it
under the seniority rule.
Then Senator Sackett (R.) of
