HOUSE LEADERS
To TIGHTEN
RULES
By FRANKLIN G. SARTWELL

BY FRANKLIN u. SARTWELL
The contest which the Demo.
Gratis are waging for the Speaker.
ship of the House has resulted in
the "soft-pedaling" of plans for
revision of the House rules to
make the Speakership mean
something after it is won.
The majority party, Of course,
wants to put the strongest pos
sible man on the rostrum of the
House but there is a general be-
lief that until the rules are re-
vised the Speaker and the party
floor leader will have little op-
portunity to exercise their
strength.
On the other hand, it probably
would be fatal for the candidates
for these high offices to step out
now and reveal their program for
cementing control Of the House
in the offices to which they
aspire.
The silence, however, doesn t
mean that the plans aren't being
laid and it doesn't mean that
there won't be such a tightening
of the House rules as to permit
the leaders of the Democratic side
to do pretty much as they will
with the legislative program that
they are told to carry out.
There will be no chances taken
in the new Congress on having
the Administrations legislative
program blocked because of in.
ability of the Democratic leaders
to find rules with which to con-
troll their huge majority.
Such chance would be taken
if the rules OF the last Congress
were adopted in January without
serious revision
Once the election is out of the
way, the rule revision program
will be sent off to a flying start.
Must Rope Mavericks
It will get under way at once
because it will be necessary, from
the leadership point of view, to
hogtie some of the mavericks"
coming to their first session before
they fully realize that the rope
has been thrown around them.
If they are permitted to run
wild in the House for even short
time before being bound by tight
rules they will be more difficult
to rope. The leaders realize this,
and they will therefore have the
rope ready for them as soon as
their leadership has been con-
firmed by the free and untram-
meled vote' of the House.
Just what form the new rules
will take hasn't been decided upon
yet.
They will not be made quite so
tight as they were in the days of
the House Gears" Neither will
they be s. tight, probably, as they
were in the days when the great
triumvirate" ruled.
They will, though, be tight
enough to prevent any coalition of
Republicans and discontented
Democrats from upsetting the
carefully geared applicant which
the Administration is prepaA .ng to
steer through the mazes of top
heavy House.

GOODF ELI D v {
To Be AIDED BY
VOLUNTEERS

Among the groups offering their
cooperation in The washington
Times Cheer Campaign this year
is the Volunteers of America.
Adjt. H. Mills Eroh has offered
to take over a group of letters of
a type that, unfortunately, does
not make a general appeal-the
prayers for help from families in
which the fathers are serving
terms in penal institutions.
We have had a number of such
appealS-in each case the mother,
left alone to battle for her family's
very existence, has written the
letter.
Children Are Victims
Father is paying his debt to
society, justly or unjuStly. We do
not attempt to judge that angle
of the story, but it seems cruelty
unfair that the little ones should
be asked to pay also.
The Volunteers have offered to
take over these families and to
send each child a Christmas stock
ing, filled with candies, fruit, and
a few toys.
The gift is to be sent in the
name of the absent father. The
children are to be permitted to be-
lieve that daddy" sent it-that
he remembered them on Christ
mas Day.
That is charity that deserves the
name-the kind of which it is said
'the greatest of these is charity"
We ask the Goodfellows writing
The Times to state definitely just
what they can do for their holiday
wards-provide Christmas din
ner, give toys or clothing to the
children, buy coal, or what.
Letters Confidential
It is understood that all letters
written The washington Times,
both those appealing for help and
offering it, are confidential. We
do not turn our lists" over to well
fare organizations. Names do not
go on charity rolls.
The Goodfellows are equally pro-
tected. We do not give them pub
licity that will swamp them with
appeals for help. Groups do not
object, as a rule. to being men
toned. If they do, we refrain
from doing so.
Many Want Jobs
Many of the fathers of families
who write us ask simply for jobs
work would be, they say, the best
Christmas gift possible.
Such a father is "F.D.C.", who
writes:
II am a first class painter
but can not get work or pro-
vide a Christmas for my three
little children. If you could
just get me a job painting
floors, kitchens, bathrooms, or
something like that" ..... 49,.
~. E." has Just started driving
a taxi. but he takes in so little
that his 2-year-old boy must go
without a Christmas unless some
Goodfellow offers to help. The
baby needs warm clothing and
"the little things"
Father On Relief
The "V" children, their mother
writes are talking about what
Santa is to bring them" The
father is ION relief" making SO
a week. Christmas, despite their
high hopes, is out of the ques-
tion. There are two girls, ages
3 and S, and boy, 6
MARY B." writes for her little
brother, age 10 She, herself, is
13 and asks nothing. The mother
is i'll in a hospital. the father
working on relief projects. and so
the little mother takes it upon
herself t: ask of the Goodfellows
something for the baby"

they averred, the attendance
would have been heavier.
At any rate, there were lots of
the Old Guard present last night
to do battle for the cause and they
voted right down the line until
they reached the big jump-the
bylaw which would bar preSi-
dent OF vice president from sue
ceeding himself.
But before the vote was in or
der some of the debaters got in
motion, and then came the deluge

ThOs. P. Littlepage though the Flu
sionist party the former headed
would be successful in the vote,
even under the two-thirds rule, un-
til the crisis came.
This was when John H. Burnett
turned the tide of battle with his
fiery peroration, according to
many of his adherents. but the
grafton of Richard E. Wexford,
who had followed the colors of the
Old Guard for 10 years, in which
he stated that principle alone
dictated his vote to reject the con-
troversial bylaw, actually pre-.
saged the overwhelming defeat OF
the restrictive clause.
Things we're very bitter during
the meeting, but there were many
get-togethers in the ships cabin
afterWard.
During the early part of the
meeting President F.. Regis Noel
turned the gavel over to Arthur
P. Drury, his first vice president
and that gentleman even earned
the praise of those against whom
he was called upon to rule, by his
conduct of the meeting.
It was a difficult session, even
with Parliamentarian Theodore
Cogswell by his side, but Mr.
Drury handled it to his own credit
and that of the group over which
he presided.

 Jim Orme drove beautiful single over third, scoring Claud, and Jim went to third as Roden- berg let the ball ramble through his legs to the road. McAllister's Wild peg to first gained life for Buss Orme, but brother Jim was caught at the plate. Blake's sec- ond hit of the game put Orme on third and he scored when Mo Allister pulled a dumb stunt and tried to nab him at the plate on Nello's grounder when two were out.
 Garn turned in the fielding feat of the day by making beautiful leap to snare Shows drive to short in the fourth. Except for Stedman's bobble in the sixth on McAllister's grounder, the Elks played excellent fielding.

BILLS DEFEAT VETS 1870, AND
 go INTO LEAD
Erskine Tames Vets Easily While Junge Is No Pug
 gle to B. P. o. E.

The Elks tumbled the Vets from their high place in the City League last night, drubbing them 13 to 0, Claud Erskine applying the first coat of whitewash any club has had this season. Junge, who es- saved to pitch for the Legion naires, lost his own game in the second frame when he allowed three hits, walked three batters and made a costly error to give the Bills seven scores.
 Erskine was in fine form and held the Vets to five hits, all Of them singles. He was given prac- tically faultless support, only one error having been chalked up against his mates. The Vets had an off night and were charged with nine miscues.
 Second Big Inning
 The second proved to be the Elks' big inning. Erskine started off by placing a double over third, and scored on Big Macs single Mac took second on the throw in, and continued to third when Diringer threw the ball back in- to center field Scow Orme SCOT ed Mac on a single, after which Junge went violent and walked two men and wildpitched Orme in with the third run. After Nell 10 struck out, Junge filled the bases again by walking Living ston, and, with a perfect set-up for a double play, fumbled his game away on Jernberg's roller to the mound. That let in Buss Orme, and after Stollard caught Garn's fly, the Cowboy" dropped Erskine's high fly and three runs scored as Claude wound up on third. MacSpadden ended the scoring by grounding to second.
 The Legion's nearest approach to the plate was about two feet, do OllOW, III IIlt oeCOliu, WdlhCt, stole, and advanced to third on Stollard's drive through the box. But Joe was too eager to score, and Buss Orme's perfect throw to the plate caught Snow as he slid.
 Three in Third
 The Elks garnished three more runs in the fourth on three hits and an error. Livingston gained life when Stollard dropped his fly after a short run, and Curly trotted home ahead of Jernberg's homer to left. The scoring was not done, however, as Garn sim gled and came home ahead of Big Macs double to left.
 Almost half of the Legion's errors helped the Elks to get three more runners home in the sixth. Garn singled, advanced to second on a wild pitch, went to third when Rodenberg backed up to the walk to drop Erskine's fly to left, and scored on MacSpadden's
