Fight Warms Up. With members returning to Wash- | ington, and with the approach of the | of the party caucus, a couple of before Congress meets on Janu- ary 3, and with returns coming in from letters sent out by the various aspir- ants and their friends—the speaker- ship fight is warming up. There are several caucuses of State delegations. notably Pennsylvania, scheduled for the coming week. It is predicted that within two weeks there will be a pretty definite showing of the support of the leading candidates. At present none of the candidates makes any numerical claim Representative Byrns expresses “the utmost confidence” that he will be the choice of his party for Speaker, and says that he is “even more confident since the recent congressional elec- tion,” which is bringing so many new Democratic members While Representative Rayburn is making no claims except to say that he feels he has a good chance for election, his friends who have been in conference with folks very close to the administration, to Campaign Manager Farley, and members of the Democratic National Committee, are intimating that the Texan may be the administration choice. Rayburn is a protege of Vice Presi- dent Garner and was a stanch sup- porter of Representative McDuffie of Alabama, who was runner-up for Speaker when the House was organ- ized two vears ago, polling 112 votes against York voted en bloc swinging the election. Those behind the campaign of Rayburn are striving particularly to get three or four of the largest State delegations. Texas itself has 21, and with New York, Pennsylvania, California, Virginia and other State delegations could go in the Demo- cratic caucus as a strong contender. As yet, in advance of the State cau- c none can tgll how the members vote.

It will be possible to keep the division open only as long as funds last, but it is hoped that private funds may be obtained to maintain it until such time as con- gressional appropriations are avail- | able. The necessity for the division and its usefulness are indorsed and ap proved by Mrs. Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, donor of the foundation bearing her name at the Library of Congress; Dr. Herbert Putnam, librarian of Congress; W.
