Senate Democrats will meet in
party conference Tuesday to Sc
lect a floor leader to succeed
Senator Lucas of Illinois who
failed to win reelection. Senator
Mcfarland of Arizona, backed by
leading Southerners, appears to
have the inside track, although
friends of Senator OMahoney aof
Wyoming announced recently his
name would be presented.
There are no indications of any
changes in Senate Republican
leadership. Senator Taft of Ohio
heads the G. o. P. Policy Com
mittee, with Senator Wherry OF
Nebraska as floor leader, and
Senator Milliken of Colorado as
chairmen of the Republican con-
ference. The big problem on the
Republican side is to decide who
will get choice committee va

Another Tax Boost in Prospect.
The Democratic and Republi-
can leaders of the House were re-
elected and are expected to con-
tinue in their party posts. One
change is in prospect on the Re-
publican side. Representative
Woodruff of Michigan was re-
elected, but is not seeking to con-
tinue as chairman of the COP
Conference. Representative Hope
Of Kansas has been mentioned
for the place.

Rent Control Problem.
High on the agenda of the new
Congress will be:
Extension and broadening of
the draft law to meet stepped up
mobilization.
Extension and possible revision
of the Defense Production Act,
which covers power to control
prices. wages and ALLEGATION of
scarce materials. Most of the
present law expires June 80.
Before March l Congress also
will have to decide what to dc
about Federal rent control, which
was given a short extension at
this session. 1t is expected there
will be demands for a new rent
law to cover at least areas into
which defense contracts will at
tract more workers.
President Truman's state-of-
the-union message, tentatively set
for January 8, will give the new
Congress its first outline of the
busy year it faces.
