 H H0pE TO
 KEEP TAFT
C. 0. p. Senate Veterans Claim Majority for Pol-
 icy Craftsmanship
By JACK BELL

WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-R- COP Senate veterans, encouraged by the slim victory scored by Dem- ocratic old timers, prepared to re- new next week their leadership bat tie with party youngsters.
 Supporters of Senator Taft of Ohio claimed that at least 25 out of 42 Republican votes will be cast in a caucus Monday to keep him as chairman of the minority Policy Committee.
 This would be victory over a group of comparative newcomers who are trying to oust him in fav- or of Senator Lodge of Massachu- setts.
 Democrats may have. given a forecast of how the tide"is running. They voted 27 to 25 yesterday to pick 7O-year-old Senator McKellar of Tennessee as Senate President Pro Tenn.
 McKellar, dean of the Senate, defeated Senator Tydings of Mary land, 21 years his junior, in what was looked upon as tussle be- tween the younger and older ele- ments.
 The Taft-Lodge conflict-brought about by an attempt of a dozen or more elf-labeled liberals to up- set what they call the Old Guard leadership = brought conflicting claims. But the weight seemed on the Ohioan's side. Taft told reporters:
 I'm no prophet. I don't be- llieve in polls any more. But I still think I'll won."
 Senator Brewster R-Me) pre- licted 28 votes for Taft. And while Senator Ives (R-NY, quart ebacking the revolt, said he thinks lodge has chance to win, Sena- tr Morse CR-Ore) conceded in a statement that Taft probably has tie votes.' Morse also is back irg Lodge.

 OF NEW YEARS

 WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-lR-- Squabbling House Democrats gath cred for party huddle today as Republican leaders reported over tures' from Southerners who want to team up in fight against pro- posed rules changes.
 The changes, suggested by some Democratic leaders to prevent just such Dixie-GOP coalitions from blocking administration bills in the Rules Committee. probably will come up for heated discussion at the party meeting called for pm.
 Meanwhile, one Republican chief tain. asking not to be quoted by name, told reporter:
 We will beat them if they try to change the rules that way We've had overtures already from some Democrats. If they want to lib- eralize the rules, we might be the ones to decide how liberal they should be-
 The Rules Committee has the job of deciding when legislation should go to the floor for debate after approval by other House Commit tees. It can pigeon-hole certain measures and pretty effectively keep them from getting voted on at all.
 At present it takes signed ap- proval by H18 House members to oy-pass the Rules group.
