DEMOCRATS WILL
AID TRUMAN PLAN
Barley Plans Compact
Group To Wage War On
Senate Republicans

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. R -
Senate Democratic leaders moved
Monday to form a compact grow
of legislators to battle for Presl-
dent Truman's program and to
sh~arpshoot, at the drop of a hat,
any Republican proposal they
deem unwise.
Democratic Leader Barley
CKY) told a reporter he plans to
announce shortly the appointment
of a seven-member policy COM
mittee authorized under the Con-
gressional Reorganization act. He
declined to divulge the member
ship.
But there were reports that some
of the veteran Democrats who have
taken a leading part in past party
councils will be passed up for
younger men. The aim is to put
more vigor in the new minority's
counterattack against the COP.
With this in mind Barley was
said to have under consideration
the appointments of Senators Tyd-
ings of Maryland, Russell OF
Georgia, Hatch of New Mexico,
Hill of Alabama, O'Mahoney Of
Wyoming and Green Of Rhode Is
land as other members Of the
group.
Only One Veteran
Only Green, representing New
England in the geographical ar
rangement of the membership, is
in the upper age bracket of the
older Democrats who held most
of the chairmanships of the Senate
committees when that party was
in control. The others, although
they are mostly in their SOS are
compared to some of the
veterans.
If this lineup is followed, inter-
ested Senators said it is likely
that two more of the younger
group, Senator Lucas of Illinois,
the party whip, and Senator Nc
Mahon of Connecticut, secretary
OF the Democratic conference,
would be asked to sit in On policy
making without votes. The whip
