Republican Leaders Confer About Personnel of Body Dilrlnjj Com In Session. WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. Republican leaders in the house have begun prep arations to complete reorganization of the committee on appropriations in conformity with the resolution adopted last session increasing, its membership to 35 and placing all ap propriation measures in Its hands. The 14 additional members will be selected by the committee on com mittees Friday. Representative Mondell of Wyom ing, majority floor leader; Represen tative Mann of Illinois, chairman of the committee on committees; Rep resentative Madden of Illinois, a member of the republican steering committee, and Representative But ler of Pennsylvania, chairman of the naval affairs committee, conferred today In connection with the matter. I-ater Mr. Mondell said that in his opinion, the house probably would not have consolidated all appropria tions under one committee had It known that President Wilson was going to veto the executive budget measure, to which this step was sup plemental. Without the budget, he said, he believed It would take longer to act on the appropriation measures through one committee than if the old syster.i was still in vogue. The republican floor leader thought very little could be done at this short session outside of passing the appro priation measures. The republican caucus rule, leaders said, prevented membership on more than one of the primary commiteees. ''"he seven committees which former!;- made up appropriations are all primary com mittees and If any of their members are given places on the appropria tions committee they will . have to resign from membership on the other committees.
