For Battle Over Rules
WASHINGTON (UPD -Administration
leaders in the House
rtoday began mustering their
troops for the "second battle of
rules." Opposing conservative
: forces launched their drive for re-
: cruits days ago.
The stmggle, which President
' Kennedy has said may mean lite
or death for New Frontier legis
lation, is tentatively set for Jan.
'9, opening day of the 88th Con
gress. Technically, the question is
whether the "traffic-cop" House
' Rules Committee shfcU be com
posed of 15 members or 12. Prac
tically, the issue is whether
Speaker John W. McCormack, D
Mass., or Rules Chairman
Howard W. Smith, D-Va., will de
cided what controversial issues
. shall be put to a vote in the
v Ijouse.
' . Fought Same Battle
i Tlie same battle was fought, on
! the same ground, between Smith
: and the late Speaker Sam Ray
; burn. D-Tex., at the start of the
,87th Congress two years ago,
; Kayburn won, but on a close vote
; and after heavy blood-letting.
' McCormack, until Thursday,
had let Smith do all the talking,
He finally made his announce-
J ment by indirection. Through
routine caucus call he let the
word go out that he was ready to
fight.
- Democratic House members
were advised to attend a party
' caucus Tuesday, Jan. 8, to etab-
lish among other things a party
position on rules of the 88th Con-
gress.
'. This, In effect, was McCor
'. mack's notification that he will
'. seek a showdown with Smith. Ac
' cording to party leaders the out
come will decide who is going to
be the real boss of the House
during the next two years.
Under its old 12-man makeup,
. the committee for some years had
been under effective control of a
conservative coalition of Smith
; Rep. William M. Colmer, D-Miss.,
; ana lour liepuDiican maimers.
Delayed Organisation
With the coming of Kennedy's
New Frontier in 1961, Rayburn
decided to restore control of the
committee to the Democratic
' leadership. He delayed organiza-
: tion of the House for almost a
! month while he put together the
votes to enlarge the committee to
'.4- members.

Of the three additional mem
bers, he picked two pro-Kennedy
Democrats, while the Republican
leaders picked one member from
their party.
That gave Rayburn, and later
McCormack, a shaky 8-7 majority
and sufficient control of the com'
mittce to obtain floor considera
tion of a number of key measures
on Kennedy's must list.
To win his battle by a 217-212
vote, Rayburn limited the expan
sion proviso to a single Congress.
In the new Congress, Smith is
out to cut back the committee to
its former size, thus restoring
conservative control.
Kennedy said recently his pro
gram would be "through" if Mc
Cormack lost the light. Privately,
key House Democrats have been
saying the same thing. They also
say McCormack s reputation as a
leader is at stake. His mends Re
lieve McCormack can win but

to West German Chancellor Kon

accused the West of causing Ber
lin border incidents and repeated
his demand for an East German
peace treaty and the creation of
a demilitarized liee city ol
West Berlin.
Western diplomats said it was
significant that Khrushchev set
no deadline for a Berlin settle

the Berlin issue back into prom
inence in preparation for the Eas!
German party meeting in mid
January. They said Khrushchev
could be assuring East German
Communist chief Walter Llbricht
that the Cuban crisis has not
caused Moscow to forget its
promise of obtaining a Berlin set
tlement.
The letter was a reply to one
written by Adenauer last summer
at the time of a scries of ugly
border incidents along the Berlin
wall, including the shooting of
teen-age East German refugee
who bled to death by East Ger
man guards who ignored his con
dition.
Khiushchev ignored Adenauer's
cquest lo use his influence to
stop such incidents. Instead, he
made a bitter attack against the
chancellor, accusing him of try
ing to "torpedo" every attempt of
the Soviet Union and the United
Stales to relax tension
He charged that Adenauer tried
lo (orrc the United Slates into an
irmed clash with Russia during
the Cuban crisis and of being dis
appointed at its peaceful settle
ment. Malin Honors
