In The Mail-box: Heber Springs, Ark., Jan. 2. Eritor, Pilot: Please forward my paper to me here while I am on x acation. I will be here for two or three months so would like to have the Pilot. Will see you on my return to Brookings. C. F. Campbell, 701 Main St., Heber Springs, Ark. G. T. Gilkey, former resident of this place, in a letter to Mrs. Goldie Smith, postmaster, sent his renewal to the Pilot for an other year. He said he heard from the MacKenzies, and de pended upon the pilot for his news of the community. Clive Manley, the transplanted Panamanian xvho noxv lives on the old Plummer place up the south bank of the Chetco, some- how missed his paper last xveek. In a letter dripping xvith sat ire, he remonstrated that it was terrible to have his “circulation cut off’ in January. It is likely that his open-air descendent from the Jeep allowed the paper to blow out on the trip home from the post office. How ever, Clive had his circulation put in motion, as he called it, by another copy of the Pilot, t^ one he missed last week.

It is light, it is cheerful and above all it is com fortable noth for members and tor visitors in the galleries. It is a little hard for me to figure ut how they could have spent parly two and a half million dollars on the job. Apparently when the construction is done xvith marble, bronze, solid thick hard-xvood and the furnishings are done in genuine thick leather the cost runs high but the job is permanent. There xvill be no more such work for at least a century! The anti-administration mem bers on the Democrat side of the aisle and their number is size able are in a particularly ad vantageous position. They rep resent the true majority between the Republicans and the admin istration members. Many care less observers and writers refer to this situation as “control of the House by a coalition of Re publicans and Southern Demo crats.” The exceedingly import ant fact such xvriters choose tb overlook is that there is not, and never has been, an actual co alition or xvorking agreement or understanding betxveen the Re publican and the anti-administra tion members. Sometimes they vote xvith us on controversial measures sometimes they don’t. Generally, we find out what they are going to do when the roll is called, but not before. I think the same situation will prevail mis congress. 1 might add that 1 can speak of this with some little knowledge because I have been a member of the house Re publican Policy Committee the past txvo years and have heard considerable discussion of t h i s subject. The work of organizing the committees of the House is going on now’. There is the usual big scrambles by the nexvly elected members for seats on the com mittees of their choice. On the Republican side, committeee as signments are made by our Com mittee on Committees which is composed of one member from each state delegation. On the Democrat side, the selections are made by their Ways and Means committee members. Sinde the congressional re-or- ganization act xvas passed, nexx’ members get a much better break than undr the pld system. Thon the committees were classified as "major” and “minor.” A mem- ber could serve on one major committe or on several minor ones. But a newly-ele.ted mem ber seldom, if ever, xvas assigned to a major comcmittee. Noxv.
