...Speaker of the House. The rivalry between Indiana's Charlie Halleck and Ohio's Clarence Brown for House majority leader will be fought out spiritedly; other candidates may complicate the race. But there was no sign of any deep developing rifts among the triumphant G.O.P. leaders. Vandenberg will preside over the Senate as president pro tem.
