DENT BODY
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. (£>)—With
only a few votes needed to upset Re
publican plans for retention and con
trol in organization of the Senate
members, the western independent
Republican group found cause for
objection in the slate of officers pro
posed -for the coining session by
•party leaders.
The bloc, however, is not unani
mous in opposition and as yet there
•has been no indication whether those
dissatisfied will vote adversely when
the time comes for settling the or
ganization question. The objection
is raised principally against the re
election of Senator Moses as presi
dent pro tempore of the body, and
is based on the part Moses played
in a successful filbuster against the
Reed slush fund committee resolu
tion in the last session
