G.0.P.C Curb
On Committee
Posts Studied
BY ROBERT X. WALSH
Star staff Writer

Several of the % House Re-
publicans who voted last week
for Speaker Rayburn's move
to enlarge the Rules Committee
would lose major committee
posts If G. o. P. leaders decide
to limit party members to only
one committee.
House Republican Leader
Halleck, Chairman of the party
subcommittee meeting again
today on the problem Of assign
ing Republicans to committee
vacancies, said that such a
limitation is being considered.
He emphasized that no de-
ciSion has been made.
Mr.. Halleck declared that so
many House Republicans, par
ticularly the 43 freshmen
members, have applied for
major committee seats that
the job probably will take
several more days. He insist
ed there has been no discus
sion Of "reprisals" against any
Republican who voted for the
Rayburn plan.
Tough Decision For 8
If Republicans are limited to
one committee, eight of the %
who sided with Mr.. Rayburn
last week would face difficult
choices.
Those especially hard hit
would be Representatives
Fulton Of Pennsylvania, who has
served on the Foreign Affairs
Committee several years and
Osmers of New Jersey who has
been on the Armed Services
Committee. Both also were on
the Science and Astronautics
Committee in the last Con-
gress, Mr.. Fulton being the
S se C con d ranking Republican
member. If they wanted to re-
main on that committee they
might have to get off the other
important committees where
they have high seniority.
Some members Of the sub
committee headed by Mr.. Hal
leck said there was discussion
yesterday of the advisibility OF
making the Science and AS
tronautics Committee an lex.
elusive" committee, as are the
Ways and Means and Appro-
priations Committee. A member
serving on such a committee is
not committed to serve on any
other House committee.
Multiple Committee List
Besides Mr.. Fulton and Mr..
Osmers, others of the % who
last year served on more than
one committee were Represent
atives Ayres Of Ohio, Bass of
New Hampshire, Corbett of
Pennsylvania. Fino of New
York. Halpern Of New York
and Wallhauser Of New Jersey.
Several other veteran Re-
publicans also might be re-
quired to give up one of their
two major committee seats If
the limitation is decided on by
the Republican leaders and ap-
proved at a conference Of all
House O. o. P. members.
Mr.. Halleck said his sub
committee has received "a list
'of applicants two pages long"

labelling the case "a shocking
indictment Of a vast section. OF

viewing the cases he favored
"even more severe sentences"

by the Justice Department.
The Government said the
case involved firms doing an
annual business of 50 billion q
year, or more than $S billion

evening the matter of school dis
trict reorganization was aired be-
fore the joint Education Commit
tee of the House and Senate.
Richland county people attending
this hearing included Russell Mer-
Ger, Henry Noelmeyer, Wallace
Scott, and Mabel Ernester. Rep.
Kvaalen, as chairman of the Ed
ucation Committee of the House,
says he feels that the present pro-

small districts are going to be
protected during the course of re-
organization.
On Saturday the Judiciary Com
mittee of the House heard argu-
ments both for and against the
adjustment of the State Hail
Board. Those favoring abolition
of the Board stated it had outlived
its real purpose, which was to
furnish needed hail insurance to
farmers in 1917 when there was
no insurance available from pri-
vate companies at reasonable
rates.
It was poirl.ed out that today
there are over so companies
writing hail insurance in Montana.
that the Hail Board is a govern
ment operated business operating
tax-free and using the facilitie;
of county assessors and treasur'
ers. The opponents felt that the
Hail Board was necessary il
order to keep down the rates o
private companies, while the pro
ponentS said that private rate
were established according to thu
risks in the particular area ant
