"The committee on commit tees, which is ways and means, caunot complete committee assignments, and the House, cannot do any serious work on the bills which have been introduced, until the rules committee change is agreed upon," he said. Mr. King predicted the Democratic me mbersh i p would approve a rules committee Wednesday in its caucus on the speaker's plan. "I would not support, and I do not think the House would support, any moves which would crip pie the rules committee. This committee plays an important role in the complex processes of the House.

"In my judgment," Mr. King said, "the speaker's proposal in rio way cripples the committee but does, in fact, offer an improvement. It broadens the representation cn the committee, which now hay 12 members.
