D. {. Unit
Sets Up Seven
subcommittee
Asks for Ruling
On Disputed Issue
Of Executive Sessions
By Harold B. Rogers

The House District COMMITTEES
today set up seven standing sub
committees to handle a heavy
docket Of legislation. It also asked
the House parliamentarian for a
statement in writing on the con-
troversial issue of when a regular
House committee can hold execu-
tive sessions.
Committee Chairman Mcmillan
said the question of executive and
OF public meetings of the commit
tee was considered at length today.
THE committee is in favor of
being as lenient as possible on at
tending all meetings" Mr.. McMil-
Ian said. However, it must abide
by the rules of the House"
Section 943-F Governs.
Section 943-F of the House
rules, on which the committee for
mally requested an interpretive
statement in writing, reads:
"An hearings conducted by
standing committees or their sub
committees shall be open to the
public, except executive sessions
for mar king up bills or for voting.
or where the committee by a ma
jority vote orders an executive
session."
The committee, in addition to
asking for the Interpretation,
voted, Chairman Mcmillan said,
that all hearings shall be public
by both the full committee and
subcommittee unless the commit
tee votes that special session
shall be executive"
There had been some demand
from certain quarters that even
voting sessions should be open.
Chairman Hires and Fires.
The committee also adopted a
rule. Mr.. Mcmillan said, that it's
chairman has the authority to
"hire and fire all clerks
In establishing the memberships
of the subcommittees, the full
group approved the setting up Of
the recently predicted subcommit-
tee on crime investigation in the
District, headed by Representative
Davis, Democrat. of Georgia. This
unit, which developed a compre-
hensive bill to strengthen law en-
forcement here after a series Of
public hearings, was assigned the
bill which Mr.. Davis has re-intro-
duced in this Congress.
One new member was approved,
Representative Tale, Republican.
Of Iowa. to take the place Of
/ Representative Wadsworth. Re-
publican, of New York. who was
mot a candidate for reelection
last November. Other members
are Representatives Smith, of Vir-
ginia and league of Texas. Demo-
Gratis, and Representative Simp-
son, Republican, of Illinois, who
served on this special unit in the
last Congress.
Subcommittee Chairmen Stay.
Other SubcommitteeS similar to
those in the last Congress are
headed by the same chairmen who
served then. They are Civil De-
fense, Representative league: Fis-
cal Affairs. Representative Smith:
Health, Education and Recreation.
Representative Abernethey, Dem
ocrat of Mississippi; Judiciary.
Representative Harris. Democrat
of Arkansas; Public Service.
Streets and Traffic, Representa-
tive Davis; and Public Utilities.
Insurance and Banking, Repre-
sentative Kennedy. Democrat Of
Massachusetts.
The judiciary subcommittee was
increased in membership from
seven to nine, Mr.. Mcmillan said,
because of the heavy load of legis-
lation it handles. Added to the
unit were Representatives Red
den, Democrat of North Carolina,
and Sippler. Republican of Penn
sylvania.
