-~ WATSON T0 PRESS FOR TARIFF ACTION Republican Leader, Improved in Health, Returns to Frame Program. Senator Watson of Indiana, Repub- lican leader, returning to Washington last night from a three-week vacation in_ Florida, pared for conferences looking to the | Tegular session of Congress beginning next week. “T feel better,” the Senator said. He had been ordered by his physician to take a rest from Senate duties. He made it apparent last night that he Zelt well enough to continue as party leader and had no intention of asking Telief from that duty. Tax reduction and the Vare case were listed by Watson as the first problems of the Senate in the regular zession. . He believed these would oc- cupy most of the time before the Christmas holidays, but he emphasized that he wants the Senate to complete the tariff bill as early &s possible. Borah Optimistic on Tariff. Senator Borah of Idaho, one of the leaders of the Western Republican in- | dependcnts, expressed hope yesterday that the Senate could dispose of the tariff before Christmas, but this was believed to be optimistic. The Western independent-Democratic-coalition has a majority in the tariffi contest. Senator Watson will confer later in the week with party leaders and Presi- dent Hoover. Several important com- mittee vacancies are to be filled, but the Indiana Senator indicated these ‘would be left entirely to the disposition of the committee on committees, head- ed by Senator McNary of Oregon. Jones May Succeed Warren. Present signs point to Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washington as the next chairman cof the Senate appropriations committee, a post left vacant by the death of Senator Warren of Wyoming. In that event Senator McNary probably would succeed Senator Jones as assist- ant floor leader. These forecasts were based on the as- sumption that Senator Smoot of Utah would decide to retain his present post as chairman of the finance committee instead of changing over to the head of the appropriations group. ‘While Senztor Smoot has announced announced he was pre-| | !

Friends of Senator Jones understand he prefers to take over the appropri- ations committee chairmanship, thus vacating the leadership of the com- merce committee. Senator McNary is next in line for chairmanship-of the commerce committee, but the Oregon Senator has indicated a preference to retain the chairmanship of the agri- culture committee. Senator Johnson of California, then would become chair- man of the commerce committee, which will be charged with the consideration of an important part of the Hoover program for inland developments. ‘The Republican line-up in the Senate Rext session now appears to be Watson, leader; McNary, assistant leader; Fess, ©Ohio, whip; Smoot, chairman ° of finance; Jones, chairman of appropri- ations; Borah, Idaho, chairman o foreign relation; Norrls, Nebraska, ennsylvania at the London naval con- ference as a member of the American delegation today seemed contingent upon the outcome of the long-standing dispute over the right of Senator-elect | Vare of Pennsylvania to a seat in the Senate.
