York provided, of course, they are
reelected and the Democrats hold
their place as majority party).
The rest Of the chairmanships go
to the South and since some south
ern senators persist in voting
against the more liberal measures
of the administration and joining
with the Republicans on others just
to show their independence, it
leaves the liberal Democrats in a
somewhat precarious position.
There is another factor which
doesn't sit too well with number of
northern Democrats, either. Under
the new set-up, the chairman of a
committee will be more influential
than ever for he now is provided
with large and efficient staff. The
work of his committee will be more
important than formerly because
committee work won't be spread as

this, but the Small Business COM
nitteemen expect to prove their
charges in open court.
The first step which the Small
Business boys would like to see TAX
en- is the appointment of an admin
istrator on whom they agree. They
feel the official should be a civilian
rather than an army man. The in
cumbent, at this writing, Maj. Gen.
Robert Littlejohn, is said to have
expressed the desire to be relieved
of WAA responsibilities, but no sue
cessor has been indicated.
The next step desired, after the
hearings, is a thorough reorganiza-
ton of methods and, if necessary, an
overhauling Of the whole set-up Of
the agency. This, proponents Of the
idea claim, will not only be In the
good of the veteran, the business
man and the national economy but
in the good Of the party, as well.

When Senator La Toilette raised
a memorial to his senatorial career
in the form Of one Of the most pro-
gressive pieces Of legislation affect
ing the internal affairs Of the con-
gress, the reorganization act, some
thing occurred which the liberal
wing of the Democratic party didn't
realize was being done, and which
has caused them no little concern
ever since its practical application
dawned upon them. ,et.a
What happened was not Senator
La Follette's fault, but the result Of
that ancient evil, seniority, which
the original reorganization measure
would have eliminated. Congress
couldn't accept that radical depar-
ture and seniority still operates. Un-
der this procedure senator auto
maticaIly becomes chairman of any
committee to which he is appointed
II he has been a member Of the
senate longer than any other MEM
ber of the majority party on the
committee. This system has long
been recognized as an evil.
Just having been around longer
than anybody else is frequently less
than recommendation. Unfertu-
nately there are too many cases
where stuffed shirt and an empty
head, although they can win votes
from constituency, provide a con-
tribution which contributes less
than nothing to the highly impor-
tant junction of running commit
tee. And chairmen have become
even more important now that
there are fewer of them.
Administration Democrats might
have acted otherwise had they real
lied what they were doing. Be-
cause Of the seniority rule, only two
northern Democrats win retain
their chairmanships when the new
and modernized congress organizes
next january. They are Walsh of
Massachusetts and Wagner of New

"outs" in an election year.
There is small but very earnest
body of Democrats in Washington
today which believes that unless
certain mistakes of the administra-
ton are freely and frankly admit
ted and given a thorough airing, they
will come back to haunt the Demo-
Gratis even unto the third and fourth
generation.
These mistakes, they say, are
the ones which have been made by
the War. Assets administration.
There is a segment of the admin
istration, on the other hand, includ-
ing some of the White House chief
coui1sel1ors, who don't approve of
this Stheory. They think that the
best thing to do is to get rid of the
surplus property as quickly as pos
sible and forget all about the whole
mess.
But the whole mess is not going
to be forgotten. In fact, it is quite
safe to predict some riotous head
lines shortly after election, which
willinake the rather limited revela-
tions of the Mead committee on war
contracts look like very pale and
limpid prose.
The headlines are likely to con-
Germ that matter which already has
emitted some rather noxious odors
but which when exhumed, will cause
still stronger stencil in the public
nostrils. This is the disposal Of sur
plus xteel equipment and facilities
connected with the Geneva plant in
Ttah-a layout that cost the gov
erlment some 200 million dollars.
It was sold to the United States
Seel corporation for $47, 100000 in
May of tits year, over the bid Of

ton, the dominant figure in manu-
featuring and distribution of steel
products west of the Rockies. Con-
gressman Cf1enoweth of Colorado

The Small Business committee,
under the craftsmanship of Senator
Murray, has made a long and care
full study Of the distribution of some
500 plants and facilities to date. It
intends to have a report on this SUBJ

nittee likewise intends to air the

MEAT:

AS housewives secured their
neighborhoods for scarce meat and

AS the crisis sharpened, depart

word of encouragement, stating that
late fall runs of grass-feds would
partially relieve the stringent short
age. But their predictions were
tempered somewhat by livestock
experts statements that the high
prices for range cattle would make
feeders purchases less profitable
and further cut the supply of fin
