On the most powerful finance com mittee there will be great gape in the i ranks. Departing on March 4 wllr be the chairman, McCurrber, and' Calder, Sutherland and Frelingbuysen. Here will be a, chance at least for three of 'the holdover members of the present Senate to secure places that axe much :'. sought. In view of the lessened major ity of Republicans in the senate, the .number 'of "committee members prot ab!r will be decreased by one on the principal committees, so there will be - iiine of the majority and seven of the . minority, instead of 10 and six, as now, SMOOT TO ABVAITCB " $ Smoot of Utah will - advance -to "the .finance committee chairmanship by the ! seniority rule- He is the- only- Repub lican west of Wisconsin., and -the West- ;sern senators.

From that committee New; Kellogg ana "McCumber will retire. There will be : two Republican vacancies to fill and . likewise three Democratic, due to the retirement of Hitchcock, Williams and : Pomerene. 'y Naval affairs lose its nominal head, , Page of Vermont, who retires. Lodge is next In rank, but will not take the '.chairmanship because of other duties.

The Irrigation and reclamation com : mittee,- beaded by McNary of Oregon ..as chairman, is one of the few commit- tees whose Republican membership is " Undisturbed by the election ; and if . there are changes In it they will be rtfue to shifts required .by arranging "other committees. All the Democratic .members of this committee also retain . their seats. ' Retirement of Page advances Me ; Nary to second place on agriculture, of 'which Norris of Nebraska is chairman. iNorris has Jeen expected to resign this chairmanship because of 111 health and , disagreement with administration and i party colleagues. The strengthening of 'the insurgent group in the senate may V lead Norris to reconsider and to stay at . the head of this committee. ; f On the commerce committee McNary will advance a notch by the defeat of Calderv Stanfield holds ft place on only "one important committee. He Is on the bottom rung on postoffices and post s' roads, which will lose its chairman, fTownaend of Michigan, and France of Maryland as well. With the reduced , membership of his party, Stanfield will f likely be accorded a place on gome "other of the more Important commit tees. ' ' - .'"
