FRATERNITIES APPROVE NEW RUSH RULES
Three Sections Of S.C. Annual Are Finished
Drive Launched To Deprive G. O. P. of House Leadership
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 -(UP)— A movement has been launched, apparently with good chances of success, to shear the Republican leadership ln the next house of representatives of much of its power over controlling what the house will vote upon.
Reports are being circulated that some western members will refuse to support Nicholas Long-worth for re-election .is speaker in the 72nd congress unless he comes out for liberalized rules. Such a course would throw the speakership, as well as the chairmanship of tbe house committees and control of all legislation, to Rep. John N. Garner of Texas, the present minority leader, and his party.
But it appeared tonight, on the basis of comments from interested congressmen, there is little chance the Republicans will not organize. This Is mostly because the Republican congressmen from Wiscon sin, Nebraska and other western states aro not nearly as ■’Insurgent" as the senators from those states.
