OVERMAN IN PLEA
FOR MORE AUTHORITY
FOR THE PRESIDENT

! WASHINGTON, April 3.-An inn
passioned plea for support of and
trust in President Wilson was made
in the senate today by Senator Over
man, of North Carolina, in concluding
the opening argument for his bill,
which would give the executive gener-
al authority to re-organize government
agencies in prosecuting the war.
Confusion existing in certain depart
ments, the senator said, makes re-
organization essential.
Senators lave asserted that the
President does not confer with them, y
he added. Now the President comes
here and takes congress into his con-
fidence and they will not give him
what he asks"
Senator 0verman deplored what he
termed "hamst7inging" the executive.
and, to senators who proposed amend
iments specifically limiting acts OF CO.
ordination TO certain government bu-
reaus, declared such limitations would
be IAN insult" to the President and
10 the public. %
Senator Culnmins Of Iowa, interrupt
ed To- suggest that the North Carolina
senator was under a Misrepresentation
that If all powers were not exercised
BY the President the war would fail.
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania con-
tended that the President has author
ity now to require executive depart
ments 10 do everything TO promote
the successful prosecution of the war.
The Overman bill was laid aside
after brief consideration to pass the
Liberty bond bill. but will be taken
uu again tomorrow when its opponents
probably will open their attack.
