Rules Change Raises party tensions in House leadership
The House traffic control center for bills is now eight Democrats and four Republicans. A 6-6 tie formed when Smith and Colmer voted with Republicans, prompting Speaker Rayburn to push a plan to break liberal bloc demands. A purge against Colmer backfired amid Southern Democratic resistance to ousting allies of the party. Powell backed Eisenhower in 1956 and faced party loyalty threats as the Education and Labor chair plans loomed. Smith fights the proposal, but insiders say victory is unlikely.
