Seat Scramble
Poses Problem
For Ha|Ieck
By ROBERT X. WALSH
star Staff Writer

Republican requests for
choice House committee assign
ments are giving Minority
Leader Halleck more headaches
than the Democrats had in try
ing to fill comparatively few
vacancies with scores of appli-
cants.
The main Democratic prob
lem involves three strong can
didates for two available seats
on the Ways and Means Com
mittee. The Republicans have
one vacancy to fill and at least
two candidates for that tax
writing committee.
Prestige and power of the
House Foreign Affairs Commit
tee are admittedly less than
those of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee. The House
committee nevertheless is grow
ing in popularity, as shown by
the scramble for seats this year

Iowa wants a place on that
committee. Mr.. Gross is an all

Representative Robert A.
Taft, jr., of Ohio, son of the
late Senator, is being urged by
some House associates to apply
for one OF the five Republican
vacant seats to be filled on that
committee, even though he's a
first termer.
Representatives Lindsay of
New York, Sibal of Connecti-
