REC[ASS|FEAT|ON
TO Be BLOCKED FOR
REORGANIZATION
Effort viii Be Made to Withhold
Decision In Congress Pending
Report Of Browns Board.

An attempt will be made to block
Reconsideration legislation In the
House and Senate In advance of the
findings of tho joint Congressional
commission on reorganization.
These two subjects, in the view o:
many officials, are inLertwined. and
the views Of the Harding i'm ,nis.ra-
ton, which is repre- sonsed on the re-
organization commission in the per
son OF Walter f.. Brown. It's chair
nan, probably will determine the fate
81 reelassification legislation at the
present session OF Congress.
Those Senator's and Congressmen
who are opposed to the 'Steriing-Lsnl-
bach bill are likely to support the plan
for further delay and to oppose what
ever proposals may cJIne from the
Civil Service Committees of the two
houses for prompt action.
The Appropriations Committee In
the Senate forms the bloc upon which
the opposition will center. This COM
mittee is vested with the right to
make it's own recommendations with
respect to the salary provisions OF
whatever measure the Civil Service
Committee will report.
IL the Administration desires the
postponement OF all legislation af-
fecting the Federal employees until
the reorganization plan is completed.
IL is doubtful IL the Appropriations
Committee will make any recon-
mendation for long time to. come.
The House and Senate Civil Service
Committees have completed their
hearings, and will enter Immediately
upon the work of drafting a new
measure. They hope to have II ready
for the consideration Of Congress
within q few weeks time.
Senator Sterling is confident that
the measure his committee win report
will ultimately receive the sanction
of Congress and the Executive branch
of the Government. In the mean
time the reorganization commission
Is gradually getting under way with
a prospect that its work may be
brought to a conclusion in q years
time.

If the facts developed in the COM

On the face Of the committees re-

the prices charged the government
