Huffman I m Is Expected
To Be Named 10 Senate
District Committee

Senator Huffman, Democrat OF
Ohio, is expected to be named a
member of the Senate District Com
mittee, to succeed former Senator
Burton, Republican, who recently
was elevated to the Supreme Court.
Such action, predicted yesterday
on Capitol Hill, would restore the
Democratic majority on the District
Committee to what it was before the
death of Senator Moses, Democrat
of North Dakota.
When Senator Moss place became
vacant, it was filed by Senator
Young, Republican, the appointee to
his Senate seat. This made the
party lineup on the committee 8 to
7, and there was no objection from
the Democratic side since party
politics seldom affects the work of
the District Committee.
However, with the departure of
Republican Senator Burton, who
was succeeded by Democratic ap-
pointee from Ohio, the way was
opened to re-establishment of a
proper" majority representation
with the selection of Democratic
Senator Huffman. which would make
the lineup nine Democrats and six
Republicans.
Senator Huffman, if selected, will
come to the District Committee
with a background of service in the
Ohio State Government.
There is involved no question of
his qualifications. Only the me-
chanical question of party lineup
could be involved, officials made
clear.

UNRRA $3.50, ,000,O 900, but so far
has provided only $80O,0O0, 900. A bill

The failure of the Government to
take care of Washington Marines
widow and five small sons has led
a citizens association to see what
it can do to help,
When The Star on September 10
reported that Pvt. Ernest E. Degges
had died on Okinawa, the Chillum
Heights Citizens Association
thought it would be neigborly to call
on Mrs. Degges.
Widows are entitled to a death
gratuity equal to six months pay
but the committee of neighbors dis
covered Mrs. DeggeS hadn't received
it.
Allotment Stopped.
The committee found that the
only way the Government had
recognized Pvt. Degges' death was
by stopping the allotment checks
which had been the only source of
support for the family since the
Marines induction in February,
1914.
This is what Mrs. Degges said had
happened to her since she received
word on September II of her hus-
bands death August %:
She received a pamphlet entitled
information for emergency ad-
dresses, next of kin and benefici-
aries of deceased Marines. This
said the necessary papers would be
sent to her so she waited.
A member of the Veterans of For
eign Wars called to find out if every
thing was all right. He suggested
she call Marine headquarters. When
she called, she was told the Marine
Corps didn't have her husbands
death On record.
On September 80, she was in
formed the Navy was still investigat-
ing her husbands death and was
awaiting the decision of the judge

termined by the facts found by the
board of investigation which was
convened to inquire into and report
