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.

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.

is beautiful. 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.
