HALE IS PROBABLE FUNDS CHAIRMAN Short Session Post Made Va- cant by Jones’ Death. Leaders Pay Tribute. Senator Frecerick Hale of Maine ap- peared last night to be the most likely Republican choice for the chairman- ship of the Appropriations Committee during the approaching short session, as successor to Senator Wesley L. Jones, Republican of Washington, who died early yesterday in Seattle. Senator Reed Smoot of Utah is the ranking Republican member of the Ap- propriations Committee, but he also_is chairman of the equally important Fi- nance Committee, which handles, amgng other things, revenue-raising legislation. “The appropriations_chairmanship pfob- ably will not be filled until near the time for the opening of Congress, and the tentative speculation regarding the designation of Senator Hale is on the assumption that the Republicans con- tinue in control of Senate organization until the end of the present Congress on March 4. ‘Although party division in the Senate for the remainder of this Congress is close, the Republicans apparently will have a margin, unless some of the pro- gressive Senators should reach the con- clusion that the Democrats should be given control at g session. While this has been reported as a pos sible development, there has been nothing definite in that direction yet If Senator Hale became chairman of the Appropriations Committee ‘it is pected he would be succeeded by som other Republican in his present post as chairman of the Naval Affairs. The other Republican members of the latter committee are Senators Oddie of Nevada, Shortridge of California, Met- calf of Rhode Island, Goldsborough of Maryland, Kean of New Jersey, Davis of Pennsylvania and Keyes New Hampshire. When the Democrats organize the Senate after March 4, the first three Democrats on the Appropriations Com- mittee will be Senators Glass of Vir- ginia, McKellar of Tennessee and Ken- drick of Wyoming. With economy in Government ex- penditures for the next fiscal year being stressed both in administration and congressional circles, the Appropriations Committee will be one of the most active groups in the Senate as well as the House during the coming session. Senator Jones of Washingion, whose death yesterday was received with deep of regret by his colleagues on Capito! Hill, | ‘went through an extremely busy session prior to adjournment last July as chair- man of the special Senate Economy Committee. It is probable that his successor as chairman of appropriations will also be on the Economy Commit- tee, which was made up from the ap- propriations group. Vice President Charles Curtis, who, before his election to that cffice, had served with Senator Jones through many sessions as a member of the Senate, joined yesterday in paying tribute to the career of the veteran ‘Washington Senatcr. The Vice Presi- dent said: “Senator Jones was one of the hardest working men in the Senate and one of its most dependable members. He was a warm and devoted friend.” Others who commented on his long and outstanding career in Congress were Senator Berah, Republican, of Idaho— “Senator Jones was one of the most useful men in public life. I have known Senator Jones since he was a boy in Southern Illinois. He was a man of spotless character and devoted to the things he thought were for the public | good.” Senator McKellar, Democrat, of Ten- nessee—"Senator Jones was truly a great American Senator. He was able, ex- tremely energetic, faithful, honest and untiring in his devotion to duty. Per- sonally he was one of the kindlest of men. As chairman of the mittee on Appropriations, he was always con- siderate and even-tempered and just to his opponents.” Senator McNary of Oregon, assistant Republican leader—"Senator Jones was a hard worker and a remarkable man. 1 learned of his death with deep regret.” Senator Ashurst, Democrat, of Ari- gona—“Senator Jones was a brave, in- corruptible, diligent public servant. His death is a distinct loss to the Nation and to his State.” Senator Norbeck, Republican, of South Dakota—"Scnator Jones was a man of high ideals and good judgment He successfully looked after the in- terests of the people of his State for a lifetime.” The following senatorial committee was named by the Vice President ; terday to attend the funeral of Senator Jones: Senators Dill ¢f Washington, Smoot of Utah, Borzh of Idaho, W of Montana, Johnson of California, Kendrick of Wyoming, King of Utah, McNary of Oregon, Shortridge of California, Wheeler of Montana, Brat- ton of New Mexico, Steiwer of Oregon, Thomas of Idaho, Cutting of New Mexico and Carey of Wyoming. JONES' CREMATION | By the Associated Press. LIKELY AT SEATTLE Funeral Services for Veteran Senator Not Yet Definitely Arranged. SEATTLE, November 19.—A career as a spokesman for the State of Wash- ington in national affairs that spanned all but 9 of the 43 years of statehood ended here today when death came to | Senator Wesley L. Jones, chairman of | the Senate Appropriations Committee, and Republican whip in that body. The 69-year-old Senstor died in a private sanitarium where he had gone for a rest after the rigors of the re- cent campaign. He had been defeated | for re-election by Homer T. Bone, Ta- coma Democrat. His friends said he died of “exhaus- tion.” Physicians attributed death to a strain upon his heart from a kidney ailment. The Widow, an only son Harry B. Jones, Seattle attorney; a| daughter, Mrs. Arthur Coffin; _ four | grandchiidren; a half brother, W. P. Guthrie, Yakima attorney. and a si ter, . Ray Coleman of Decatur, Il survive. Cremation Possible. Funeral services have not been defi-| nitely decided upon, but the Senator's| son said they might be held at the| home here followed by crpmation. | Senator-élect Bone endeavored to reach Jones yesterday to pay his re- spects before leaving on a trip, but learned the Senator was able only to see memb of his family. ‘The Senat son recounted how he | had tried to get his father to take a rest after a series of operations three years ago, but had been unsuccessful. During the last session of Congress Jones held daily hearings for six weeks | on the economy bill. Then, after that strenuous session, he came home to be- gin the hardest fight of his many bat- tles for re-election. Most of his speeches during a 4.000- mile campaign trip through the State were in behalf of the national admin- istration. Friends begged him to rest, to return to Washington, but he re-| fused. “How can I leave the party now, when it needs me so badly?” he asked. “Trying to Get Well.” Last night his son told him he had received a telegram from Representa- tive William B. Oliver of Alabama, his‘ golfing partner, urging him to get well | so they could play together again. “Tell him I'm trying,” said the Sen- ator. | After the election the Senator failed more and more. At times, his son sald, he thought he was campeigning_again or recelving reports at his desk in Wash- ington. Jones was best known nationally as | |CLUB TO CONSIDER | Albert R.

There DECISION ON DEBTS UPTO ROOSEVELT Once He Has Determined on! His Course, White House Will Act Accordingly. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Have the British accumulated the $95,000,000 in gold or its equivalent for the December 15 payment on war debts? If they have, the congressional sen- timent is that no postponement should be granted. If they have not, then the consequences of a default should be carefully weighed by the British.
