Senators Scramble
for War Tour Posts

WASHINGTON, March 81
R)-The scramble was on in the
Senate today for coveted assign
ments on new Eurpean tour
group to survey war end prob
lens at the battle lines.
Five Senators are lined up
tentatively to take off within
two weeks for an inquiry some
of them hope will end in Berlin.
The five are Senators Russell
(D-Ga), Hill DALAI, Chandler
(D-Ky). Maybank (D-SC) and
Bridges (R-NH). 1t looks, how
ever, as though they may have
company.
Senators Pepper (D-Fla), Fer
guson (R-Mich) and Revercomb
(R-WVa) are possible added
starters. There is no apparent
lack of additional volunteers.
What began as a project of
the Appropriations and Mill
tary committees seems likely to
be expanded to include repre-
sentatives of the Foreign Rela-
tions and Mead War Investigat-
ing committees. There also are
other precincts to be heard
from.
Senators of the Military and
War Investigating committees
had a lengthy debate more than
a year ago when both groups
wanted to send members on a
globe-girdling tour to all bat
tlefronts. A compromise final
ly sent members from each Of
the committees.
It seems likely that Democrat
ic leader Barkley (Ky) will have
to work out some such COM
promise in the scramble now un-
der way.
