Steering Committee
Aid Is Asked by
House'Leaders
Bonkheod and Royburn
Seek to Consolidate
Democratic Strength
By the Associated Press.

by tQe Associated 1reSS.
New efforts to consolidate admin
1stration strength in the House were
disclosed today after q meeting of
the Democratic Steering Committee
with Speaker Bankhead and Floor
Leader Rayburn.
These two leaders, it was learned,
asked for assistance from the IS
man committee, which represents all
sections of the country. While de-
tails of the private conference yes
terday were not made public, one
committee member said afterward: !:
What we want is to have all
major legislation referred to our
committee. We will be able to count
noses and tell the leaders that Ger
tain bill doesn't have a chance of
passage on the floor. In that way,
the administration can avoid taking
bad beatings."
Some members informed Speaker
Bankhead and Representative Ray
burn that they could have predicted
the 205-to-l68 defeat last week of a
proposed s5,00000O harbor develop
ment program on the Pacific Island
Of Guam had they been consulted.
Split Seen Not Serious.
Although 81 Democrats joined 1873
Republicans in opposing it. Repre-
sentative Rayburn has said he did
not regard that split as having any
serious party implications. The
Guam iSSue had heen descrihed re-
peatedly by both Democrats and
Republicans as non-partisan.

crat voted against the measure and
only two went along with the Re-
publicans on vote to restrict the
banks powers.
Chairman Scrugham of the Steer
ing Committee said the group dis
cussed the new Government reor-
ganization bill. Reaction of the
members, he added, will be entirely
favorable"
In explanation Of the long-range
purpose of the committee, he said:
Conferences of the Steering
Committee provide a way of seeing
what the situation is before we 60
to the floor of the House. The Re-
publican Steering Committee has
been functioning very well this year,
and we think that our committee
ought to do the same"
