Group Favors Ousting Rankin From US House Panel
Democratic members of the Ways and Means Committee voted to bar chairmen from other assignments, effectively aiming to oust Rep. John Rankin from the House Un-American Activities Committee. Rankin, an ardent white supremacist Mississippi Democrat, would head the Veterans Affairs Committee but says he will not yield. The move, approved by a substantial majority, awaits Democratic caucus approval and Ways and Means action, and reflects leadership efforts to curb the UNAC committee while Rankin denies formal notice.
