He is an able lawyer and steeped in knowledge of railroad and simi- lar affairs. James W. Collier, Mississippian, is slated for the Ways and Means Chairmanship. He has had exten- sive experience with tariff and tax matters, and although modest and unassuming, is one of the most astute House members. If there is a tax or tariff bill of any kind framed, he will have charge of it, and will be another of the small group of leaders directing the House affairs. Charles K. Crisp, Georgla, son of the late Speaker Charles ¥. Criph, will be Collier's second in command This | on the committee. He is one of the best parliamentarians in the House, and under the late Champ Clark was its parliamentary expert. Henry T. Rainey, Tllinois, is the third in line on the Ways and Means Committee. He may fall heir to the position of floor leader. It seems to lay between him and Representative John McDuffi2, of Alabama. Rulcs Committee Head Although Edward W. Pou, North Carolina, probably will be head of the powerful Rules Committee, John J. O'Connor, New Yorker, is apt to be in active charge of it.

O'Connor is a Harvard graduate. and regarded as one of the ablest men in the House. Representative William B. Bankhead, Alabama, is |also to be reckoned with on this Committee. 1[ ‘The real leadership in the House “None so good as LUCKIES” “I've tried all cigarettes probably will lie in these men a]-‘ ready mentioned.
