WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.---Early in the
new administration President Harding
will name commission to consider
the problem of the reorganization of
Che government departments and bu-
reaus in the interest Of economy and

While plans for this commission

them. He discussed che subject with
some of his closest advisers.
Prominent men have been suggested
to head the commission, but it is de-
clared that no one has been selected
yet. Herbert Hoover and Charles G..
Dawes are among those mentioned,
conditional upon their not being given
Cabinet posts.

Crime in Virginia Shol1s
Rapid Decrease in Year

RICHMOND. March 14.-crime in
Virginia has decreased more than SO
per cent during the past year. ac-
cording to analysis of statistics
given today by the various State and
Federal agencies having to do with
sthe detection and punishment OF
lswbreakers in the Old Dominion.
The decrease in actual crime is
placed at a greater figure than so
per cent because many convictions
now are for violations of liquor laws
