Mr. Pen's statement follows: "Before the holiday reoess and before there was any suggestion of 8 opposition to the Democratic members of the Ways and Means Committee, who voted against free lumber, it was agreed between Mr. ' Clark and myself that I would probably go off the Ways and Means ' Committee if he gave me certaiD assignments which he had in view and ' which were very much preferred by me. The suggestion that I ought to ' go off the committee in that event came from me. When it was announced that no man who voted as I did could remain on the committee ' I thought we might as well fight out the difference. I know that, this announcement did not reoeive the approval of Mr. Clark or Mr. Under?.
