Benton Case Unit Shifts
May Not Take Place

The impending r epublie c a n
sllakeup in the Senate elections
subcommittee, handling the Ben
ton Carthy CONTROVERSY, may
hot take place when the Rules
Committee meets today, if Demo-
cratic plans work out. ...
Entirely aside from what is
done on the proposal Of Senator
Benton, Democrat, Of Connecticut,
seeking to oust Republican Sen
Ator Mccarthy of Wisconsin from
his Senate seat. Democrats on the
elections subcommittee would like
to see the group remain as it is
until a new election law can be
written.
A week ago it was reported
that both Republicans on the
elections subcommittee Senators
Margaret Chase Smith of Maine
and Hendrickson of New Jersey
would be transferred to other sub
committees of rules.
When Senator Lodge of Massa-
ehuSetts, the ranking Republican
ON rules, returned from California
yesterday, he announced that
Senator Hendricksen will remain
ON elections, but that Mrs. Smith
stiH wanted to be reasSigned to a
subcommittee which deals with
Senate rules.
Mrs. Smith had indicated q
long time ago that she wanted
the first opening on the rules
subcommittee. The death of
Senator Wllerry of Nebraska ere
ated such an opening.
In advance Of today's meeting it
was learned that Democrats ON
the Rules Committee have agreed
to depart from custom and let
Mrs. Smith have two Subcomn1it-
tees in. order to let her 60 on the
rules subcommittee without giving
UP elections. To do this, the
Democrats will give up one of
their places on some other sub
committee to make room for two
new Republicans on the Rules
Committee Senators Dirksen Of
Illinois and Welker of Idaho.
