Congressmen Repaid for Ability to Stick Around
Washington, Nov. 13. James Marlow reports on the seniority system in Congress, where long service on a committee often guarantees chairmanship regardless of talent. The piece notes Democrats will dominate committees in 1949, warns of potential punishments for southern Democrats, and cites Estes Kefauver criticizing the rigid seniority rule after ten years in Congress and a book calling for reform. Kefauver argues fitness and reader demand aren’t tied to years in office.
