Changes in Senate.
Senator Barkley, Democrat, OF
Kentucky becomes Senate minority
leader and Senator Lucas, DEM

members are on hand when votes
are needed. Republican Carl Loef-
fer steps into the shoes of Mr.
Biff1e as secretary of the Senate
Mr.. Biffle becomes director of the
Minority Policy Committe.
Notwithstanding the importance
of the issues which are to come be-
fore the two houses and regardless
of the Bilbo matter, Congress may
have to twiddle its thumbs for days
to come. Committee assignments
have yet to be finally approved, and
legislation is not brought before
either house until it has been re-
ferred to and considered by q
standing committee.
While the division of top posts
among the Republicans was consid-
cred closed by the party leadership
Senator Reed of Kansas issued
another blast against giving Sem

leadership and the Craftsmanship OF
the Commerce Committee.
Senator Reed. who had hoped to
head the commerce group himself
contended in a statement last night
that Senator White had attended
only four of the committees 81
meetings in the last congressional
session.
"It would have been better party
policy to distribute the posts of dis
tinction more widely than has been
DONE" Senator Reed said.

One OF the oldest devices known

5o-mile cross wind here last week.
While the gale spread damage
around washington and ratified the
windows In the control tower at Ma
tional Airport, a primary trainer
equipped with swivel wheels ap-
peared to court disaster again and

The men In the tower were
alarmed at first and then puzzled
when Civil Aeronautics Administra-
tion pilots In the trainer kept violat-
| ing their own rules for safe flying
and getting away with cross-Wind
Imaneuvers ordinarily perilous.
The pilots, including John n
Geisse, light plane consultant for
CAA, and Frederick B. Lee, assistant
to the CAA Administrator, were test
ing a device allowing the wheels
to pivot like casters on furniture.
When they asked permission to
use runway at right angles to the
wind, the control operator warned
he couldn't advise It," and they
must proceed at their own risk.
About 20 successful landings and
take offs were made by three pilots.
On landings the wheels adjust
themselves to the true direction In
which the plane is moving, although
the ship may point into the wind
some As degrees of course. This
Grabbing" operation Is repeated on
