House of Representatives
 To Draft Radical Changes

Washington, Dec. 23 -- tUP)--A new set of rules, providing for the most radical changes in the opera tions of the House since the cele- brated revolt against Speaker Joe Cannon in 19i1, was being drafted today for presentation on the open ing day of the S0th Congress.
 The rules are based on the leg islative Reorganization Act of 1S40, passed at the last session by a Con. gress which overwhelmingly voted in favor of self-improven1ent and, incidentally, a pay raise.
 The Senate already had adopted the necessary amendments to US rules and they automatically bee come effective on Jan. 2, the day before the new Congress co1venes. Thus the Senate, which Is e con- tinuing body, will be operating under the Congressional streamin- ing bill the moment the opening gavel falls.
 Allen To offer Resolution
 House Parliamentarian Lewis Deschler who is about to serve under his seventh speaker, has been preparing the new rules. They will be incorporated in a resolution to be offered for adoption on the opening day by Rep. Leo Allen, (R.-1ll.) ),' who is scheduled to be-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-12-23

come chairman of the Rules cOm- mittee.
 Little opposition is expected to most of the rules. However, Hep. W. Sterling Cole of New York, ranking Republican on the House Naval Affairs Committee, may lead q fight against the planned f1srgef of the Military and Naval Affairs Committee.
 Hotise Republican Leader Joseph W. Martin, jr, of Mass, has already announced his fu11 support for all the changes in the Reorganization Act.
 Most important of the new rules are those which will reduce the number of standing committees in the House from 4g to 1g. In the Senate, the number of standing committees will be cut from 8 to ID. Changes To Be Drastic
 Ali in ali, the changes in tne Houses operations will be the most drastic since that body decided to clip the almost dictatoria1 power of Speaker Cannon in 1911.
 Since that year, speakers of the House have been barred from serving on the powerful Rules Cofl- mittee, which determines which ] legislation should reach the floor. The last previous major changes in the House rules. although not as far-reaching as those of 1911, were made in 1920. The House at that ti emremoved appropriatif1g powers from various committees and placed them in the ApprOpria- tions Committee.
 The new rules cali for shorter sessions. Henceforth, if the rules are approved as presented, con. gressional sessions will start In January and end not later than July 31, except in times Of nati11oaI emergency.
 Efficiency Expected
 Although the committees will be fewer in number, they are expected to work more efficiently. The new law provides for special, non-pOliti~ cal assistants whose Job will be to help write the laws, explain them and do research.
 EaCu SSnatOT HAS U0cu nuNlO1lAsS~ to hire 6 S1O,OOO administrative assistant to take some of the I1or- legislative. world-load of his should. CTS. The House rules, however, will contain no such provision.
 Effective with the opening day of the new Congress, each member of the House and Senate will be on the payroll ct 9l2,500 c year. $2,500 more than in the past. In addition. each will get S260O for expenses.

By GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute
of Public Opinion

PRINCETON, N. j., Dec. II. -
While the American people have no
love for the Spanish dictator
Franco, the weight of public opin-
ion at present is against breaking
off trade or diplomatic relations
with Spain.
The Political and Security Com
mittee of the General Assembly of
the UN earlier this week voted a
reprimand of the Franco regime
by approving the recall of ambas-
sailors to Spain. This action is of
course short of a break in diplo-
matte relations as originally pro-
posed.
A reflection of how the Amer
lean public views such a move is
shown in a nationwide test con-
Quoted by the Institute on the
following question:
DO you think the member coun-
tries of the United Nations should
or should not break off trade and
political relations with Spain?"
The vote:
Should
Should not ----------------37
No opinion ------39
The vote against breaking off
relations may be due to, the fact
that there is no general agree
ment in this country as to
whether Franco Spain is a threat
to world peace.
Attitudes on that question were
polled as follows:
do you think the Franco gov
eminent Of Spain is a threat to
world peace?"
The vote:
Yes, it is --;------------34%
No. it is not --------29
No opinion ------S
RUSSIA has been the power most
active in the campaign to unseat
Franco. From the earliest days Of
the United Nations Organization the
Russian delegates have demanded
drastic U. N. action against the
Spanish leader.
But the average American does
not think that the Spanish people
are any worse off, so far as free
dom is concerned, than the Rus
sian people are under the dictator
ship Of Stain and the Communist
Party.
In fact, the average American
is inclined to feel that a citizen of
Spain is actually better off than :
citizen Of Russia.
