By Harris Eltaworth, M, C.
Republican members of the
house of representatives have an
organization known as the Re-
publican conference, which is
sometimes referred to as the
caucus. This organization has its
own c h a i r m a n, Congressman
Woodruff of Michigan, and its
own secretary, Congressman Case
of South Dakota. Meetings are
held when called by the chair,
or by Leader Martin. The con
ference appoints minority mem-
hers on the house committees,
the employees of the minority
side of the house, and conducts
discussions of policies and bills. |
It may, of course, take any ac-1
tion deemed necessary for the
functioning of our side of the
aisle in the house. Contrary to
popular opinion, however, the
Republican conference does not
take any votes on legislation or
make any decisions which are ex
pected to be held binding upon
Republican members. No Repub
lican member of the house is ever
compelled to do anything either
by the leadership or by the con
ference.
This week, the Republican con
ference, in addition to complet
ing committee assignments, mack'
two very important and far-
reaching decisions. .It set up, by
formal resolution, a Repubblican
policy committee, and also by
dablished a comit
resolution,
tec on public information.
For many years, the party
door leader has counseled with
a group of senior members gen
erally know’n a s t h e steering
committee. It has been an intor
mal group, and its personnel has
varied from time to time. I do
not recall that the names of
those who were considered to be
on the steering committee have
ever beejn published. The resolu
tion just passed abolishes the
steering committee and provides
for the election of a house Re
publican policy committee of 22
members. The rule of seniority
in selection of policy committee
members is abolished. The mem
bership of the policy committee
is selected proportionately from
nine geographical divivsions of
the World’s Best Climate
the United States. The most in
teresting provision of the resolu
tion creating the policy commit
tee is that it provides that the
Republican members of the house
in each geographical division will
meet and select the member or
members of their division who
will serve on the policy commit-
tee. The Pacific coast division
will have two membebrs on the
policy committee, and these two
will be selected at a meeting of
the 21 Republicans now’ serving
in the house from the Pacific
coast.
I had the honor of being a
member of a subcommittee of 5
which wrote the resolution and
worked out the geographical lo
cations. Our plan was accent cd
by the conference without any
change.
The creation of the committee
on public information was made
necessary by the fact that we
Republicans in congress seem to
have failed to accurately and
fully acquaint the people of the
country' regarding our activities
and policies.
This matter has been discuss-
ed by the Republican members
for some time, with the result
that, a few’ months ago, Speaker
Martin, now’ minority leader, no-
pointed a committee to study th'
problem and report to the con
ference. The committee consist
ed of five members under the
chairmanship of the Honorable
James C. Äuchincloss of N. J.
I was also a member of this
committee.
The formation of a policy com-
PAGE THREB
mit tee which actually represents
every portion of the country, and
made up of representatives chos
en in a truly representative man
ner, will insure the Republican
leadership a well-balanced coun
sel by some of the ablest mem
bers. In my opinion this is a mar
velous forward step and should
yield excellent results.
Check your car and you will
check accidents.
Dimming your headlights mak
es it safer for you as well as the
other driver and it’s the law.

TELEPHONE
EXPANSION?
Investors are the people who pay
for telephone expansion. The money
we use to build new telephone fa
cilities comes from the people who
dnvett their money in telephone company stocks and
fbonds. The dollars we receive for telephone service are
iused to pay wagos, taxes and other operating expenses.
So, you see, it takes two kinds of money to operate suc
cessfully—large amounts of capital to grow and improve
facilities, and income from telephone service to cover
expenses and to pay investors for the use of their money.
