|Tydings Seeks 10 Limii
1Chairmen 10 SERVING
lon One Committee
By the Assoetuted press

| Senator Tydings, Democrat, oi
Maryland proposed today that thu
membership of standing Senate com.
mittees be increased and that chair.
men be barred from serving on more
than one committee.
The Maryland Senator's suggestion
was the first specific proposal to alter
the terms of the new reorganization
plan by which members voted tc
revise congressional procedures and
to give themselves a salary increase
Senator Tydings said he would
resist any effort to make basic
changes in the streamlined legis-
lative program, which will 60 into
effect next January, but was willing
to support some notifications.
Byrd and Hatch on Guard.
There have been indications that
moves will be made in both the
Senate and House to delay--and
possibly to block permanently-the
rules changes reducing the number
Of committees and otherwise alter
Ing procedure.
Senators Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia and Hatch, Democrat, of New
Mexico have served notice they will
fight any effort to kill the major
features of the reorganization plan
and retain only the pay increases
and pensions.
Senator Tydings, who supported
the bill when it was up for passage
said he would rather have the new
system than the old because ]
believe it will mean a more efficient
and alert Congress.
"The old system is archaic. in
efficient, cumbersome and time
consuming" he said. IF the choice
lay between the new and the old, I
would vote again for the change.
But I will support any reasonable
modification where the facts prove
they are necessary"
Would Fill Vacancies.
The Maryland Senator said chair
men ought to serve only on the
committee they head, because OF
the pressure Of work. Under the re-
organization plan, each Senator
may be member of two commit
tees. Membership of the commit
tees is limited to 13, except for the
appropriations group, on which q
Senators will serve.
1t might be wise, Senator Tydings
said, to boost the committee men,
bership to Is or II, thus filing the
places left vacant If chairmen serve
on only one.
Under existing custom, Senator
TydingS, who is chairman of the
Territories Committee, which is
being abolished, would be second in
line to Senator Walsh, Democrat, of
Massachusetts to head the proposed
Armed Forces Committee.

Active and in the Open.
True, no Republican has given tn,
New Deal program, domestic ane
foreign, more persistent and effec'
tive opposition than Senator Taft
But he hasn't done it sitting down
His opposition has been active anc
in the open. He has been on hi
feet, fighting, all the way. So much
is this the fact that Senator Taft
has won the real respect Of his foes
as we'll as his friends-respect, thai
is, for his courage, if not for his
views.
Maybe he did say, as Mr.. Han
llegan quotes him saying: Il see nc
reason for a larger percentage at
work In 1850 than in 1900 There is
no magic in more jobs The Nation
is not better of because more people
are working"
II he said that, 1t was because
he believed it. 1t was the philo-
sophie basis of his battle against the
full employment bill, battle, in
cidentally, which he did not wage
sitting down, but in his own typical
manner, worrying the bill on the
floor of the Senate like pup worry
ing q rug, chewing at this corner
and at that, with nobody able to
stop him until he had reduced ii
to q condition that he considered
harmless.
So with most measures that
arouse his distrust. Taking all issues
seriously, Senator Taft works hard
to achieve his own understanding
and when he takes the floor, which
is continually. he Is seldom unpre-
pared with what he regards as good
reasons.
A Fighting Record.
That was the case when he op-
posed an airplane increase in 1899
and the common defense treaty with
Panama that same year. 1t was
likewise the case when in 1910 he
opposed selective service and the
excess profits tax; in 1941 when he
opposed lease-lend and the acqui-
sition and use Of merchant ships
ror national defense; in 1914 when
ne fought the Federal soldier ballot
It was sincere belief that brought
him into conflict with effective price
control, FSA loans to small farmers
reciprocal trade agreements, soil
conservation payments. the National
Youth Administration; that caused
him to favor antilabor legislation
such as the Smith-C -Connally bill.

Just because Congress is in recess,
don't think your Congressman is

Quite contrary, says Rep. Thad
F. Wasielewski (DWis).
He told reporter today that
those who went home are busy
making speeches, shaking hands
and kissing babies.
And as for those who stayed
there
Look at this pile Of reading
matter" he said, pointing to a
stack of literature about a foot
high. Il should read all of this.
And then there's my mail"
He gazed ruefully at desk as
cluttered as nightclub floor on
the morning of January l.
Here WasieleWski paused a mo-
ment to grab his three-year-old son,
Francis, who was borrowing his
fathers fountain pen for a dart
game.
ION top Of everything, I'm q
nursemaid," muttered Wasielewski
as Francis turned himself into a
train and choo-chooed noisily
rcund the room.
Wasielewski lowered his voice to
whisper.
The Wasielewski's are expecting
another baby, any hour now. "
The other Wasielewski, Stephanie,
p, is with her grandmother ir
Milwaukee while the big event is
taking place.
Wasielewski said his reading
matter contains everything from
newspaper clippings to detailed
studies on taxes. AS member Of
the House Ways and Means com
mittee, he feels he has to keep w
on all taxation programs.
"You can see that I'm manag
ing to keep busy" he said. And he
hurried over to stop Francis, who
was trying to file his dads letter!

He praised General Douglas Mac
Arthur highly for his genius in war

Gen. Eichelberger said he had

Philippines campaign and of the
occupation of Japan, dismissing
the Buna subject x X X subject as
something that would never be

In Buna, he said, it was ques-

there were no requirements. He
