}. The successor to Senator Bacon as
chairman of the' foreign relations
committee probably will be Senator
William J. Stone of Missouri, rank
ing democrat on the committee, who
now is confined to his home by 111
nos3. In bis absence Senator Shiv
ely of Indiana, next in rank, is serv
ing as acting chairman of the com
mittee. Seniority usually prevails
is succession on this committee, un
less the ranking member does not de
sire to undertake the task. Should
Senator Stone waive ' the honor, a
democratic conference probably
would be called to discuss the chair
manship.
As to succession in the Senate, no
cc-etest can arise because of the sev
enteenth constitutional amendment.
