complaining of strange bug that
works on the cotton bloom, claiming
that this insect is doing considerable
damage in destroying the life of the
bloom, which causes it to drop from
the plant.

OVERMAN law MAY
HELP risk BUREAU

The possibilities OF the overman
act, giving the President the most
sweeping power to redistribute the
functions Of the Executive depart
ments and agencies Of the Govern
ment, according to the view OF some
experts at the Capitol, seem to have
escaped notice in connection with the
talk that some agencies or bureaus
are hsmpered for lack OF funds.
1t Is pointed out that, as q matter
Of fact. the Overman act gives the
President almost unlimited power to
redistribute the functions Of the Vari-
ous departments, bureaus, commits
sions, and the like.
Moreover. 1t is to be in force not
only through the war period, but for
six months after peace Is proclaimed.
1t is pointed out that in connec-
ton with the talk OF the War Risk
Insurance Bureau being hampered
because OF lack of help, there is no
real reason why personnel should not
or agencies Of the Government.
While there Is q Limitation in the
law which forbids appropriations be-
ing used except for the purposes for
which they were made. this. say ex-
perts who have given 1t attention,
does not preclude, consultations and
shifting Of personnel to do needed
work, especially emergency work.
In fact, when the law was passed,
there was widespread apprehension
voiced in both houses of Congress
that the President would make whole
sale shifts Of functions Of depart
ments and bureaus and abolish some
agencies.
