v e FGHT FOR SENNTE Willing to Permit G. 0. P. to Organize and Become Re- I sponsible for Legislation. By the Associated Press. Democratic leaders are not disposed to attempt to organize the Senate in December, even if the Republican majority of ome is reduced to a minority of one by refusing the oath . to Senators-elect Smith of Illinois and Vare of Pennsylvania, pending further investigation of their cases. With the Republicans having a mominal majority, the minority lead- ers take the position that they should be permitted to organize the Senate and assume the responsibility for any action or lack of action on the major problems confronting the new ! Congress, Leaders of the majority are ready to put through their organization plan and to accept the responsibility during the coming presidential cam- paign for the record which the Repub- Hoan Congress will be able to write between its assembly in December and its adjournment just before the political conventions next June. Democrats to Have Full Ticket. ‘While willing to permit the Repub- lpans to organize if they can muster the necessary votes, the Democrats are prepared to put a full ticket of Senate officers in the field and the leaders say that with few exceptions the minority will support the slate. Should the Republican insurgents sup- port any of the Democratic candidates the Republicans would be defeated Democratic leaders are postive in the declaration, however, that they will seek no agreements or understandings with the Republican insurgents on this or any other matter during the forthcoming session. Four years ago, when the insur- gents joined with the Democrats and elected Senator Smith of South Caro- lina as chairman of the interstate commerce committee, there were charges that the minority had entesed dnto an agreement with the insurgents, but this was denied then and still is dehied by the Democrats. Position of the Insurgents. Present opinion at the Capitol is that the insurgents will vote with the Republican regulars on the matter of organization. With the G. O. P. in charge, their committee assignments uld be much better than they prob- ahly would be under the Democrats. One of their number, Norris of Ne- braska, would remain as chairman of the judiciary committee, and another, Frazier of North Dakota, would be- :ome chairman‘of the Indian commit- ee. Even with Smith and Vare denied the oath of office at the outset, the Republicans still might be able to organize the Senate. Should Senator Shipstead of Minnesota, the remaining Farmer-Labor Senator, cast his ballot with them there would be a tie vote if all the Democrats should support their own slate. Then Vice President Dawes would cast the deciding ballot. Some of the Democrats, however, have openly expressed their opposition to any program by which the Demo- crats would seek to organize the Sen- ate with Illinois and Pennsylvania denied their full representation in the voting.

Preparation of a bill designed to give it control over all taxicabs in the District will be started soon by the Public Utilitles Commission, with a view to having it introduced at the forthcoming session of Congress. The old commission assumed juris- diction of taxicabs under the present utilitles law. Regulations were drafted requiring all cab operators to be insured to indemnify passengers unless a satisfactory showing of financial responsibility could be made, but they were held invalid in Police Court. The new commission, how- ever, plans to seek this authority by legislation instead of repeating at- tempts to enforce old legislation. o Moffett Starts Inspection. Rear Admiral William A.
