can DC DENT more uDerally
toward his key measures.
More important for the fu-
ture fortune Of the White
House and the congressional
Democratic leadership, those i'm
minent showdowns also could
outline House voting patterns
for the rest Of the 87th Con-
HreSs.
The 90 Democrats from
strictly Southern" States are
divided on Speaker Rayburn's
effort to expand the COMMITTEES
from IL to is members to coun-
teract o voting combination Of
its Republican and especially
conservative Southern Demo
cratic members. At least so Of
the 90 are believed ready to &c
along with Mr.. Rayburn in this
instance.
Questions Persist
But it remains to be seen
how many of the 90 Southern
ers continue through the 1861
congressional session as a hard
core Of opposition to contro-
versial Kennedy programs and
how often the Southerners-
possibly joined by some Demo-
Gratis from border States-will
vote with Republicans.
Thus, the stands that Demo-
cratic and Republican House
members take in their respec-
tive party closed conferences
tomorrow and later this week
openly on the House floor could
go far beyond the Rules Com
mittee controversy.
They could indicate how de-
cisive q factor the House will
be this year in passing. reject
ing or modifying Kennedy pro-
grams.
Test of Power
Tied in with this is the still
unresolved test Of the power
Of the Democratic leadership
to assure. as Speaker Rayburn
said. a fair chance" for the
new administrations legisla-
ton in the House.
Mr.. Rayburn won the first
battle when an apparently
overwhelming majority Of the
262 House Democrats last week
approved his proposal to liber-
alize the Rules Committee.

Democrats to the present eight
