Reorganization
And Budget Plans
Hughes Also Reports Prog

Disarmament; Differ on
Uniting Army and Navy
From The Tibane's Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Budget
and reorganization plans divided the
time with discussion of the coming
disarrn ame1t conference at the meet
ing to-day Of the President and his
Cabinet. Secretary of State Hughes
went extensively into the progress
made thus far in the acceptances of in
vitations on the part Of the great
powers to attend the disarmament con-
ference to be held here
The Cabinet members took up with
zest the reports ofsthe work of the new
budget bureau under the energetic di-
rectien of General Dawes. 1t was re-
ported that the bureaus and depart
ments are cooperating to the best OF
their ability, and that as result Di-
rector Dawes feels that progress has
been made. The subject of reorganiza-
ton of government departments, one
having a great deal in common with
budget reduction, was gone over care
fully. Walter F. Brown, chairman of
the committee engaged in reorganiza-
ton, plans to submit within ten days
a tentative plan for regrouping and al
locating The various departments.
It was indicated at the White House
to-day that the President inclines ia
vorably to the forming of Department
who shall sit in the Cabinet. Such a
department has long been the ambition
of the President, and he has not hest
tated to indicate his approval of the
plan on several occasions.
The most farreaching change under
advisement by the reorganization com
mittee, and one which Resulted in pro-
longed discussion by the Cabinet mem
bers, is that which provides for the
establishment of Department of Ma
tional Defense and placing the army
and navy under it. Opinion is divided,
it is understood, among the Presidents
advisers regarding the advantages of
such change.
1t is likely that all aviation will be
centralized following the. adoption of
regrouping plans. The Administration
feels that duplication, expense and
even fatalities might be eliminated if
the aviation efforts of the nation were
conserved under one head
