The question of committee assignments is uppermost in the minds

committee vacancies. Kilday seeks
appointment to the military affairs

agriculture committee.
Because Texas already has two
members in the agriculture com-
mittee Chairman Jones of Amarillo
and Kleberg of Corpus Christi it is
believed there is little probability
any vacancies on that group will
go to others of the state s congres-
sional delegation.
