The program for reorganization OF the
Government departments laid petore
President Harding by Walter It. Brown
ex-officio chairman of the Joint Congress,
sional reorganization committee, VII,
meet opposition in both the senate ana
House. This developed to-day as dn
aftermath of the publication OF the gen
eral details of the reorganization piai
which proyides for sweeping rearranse-
men,s of the departments and bureaus
The trouble is not so much with tne
reorganization of the departments as
whole as with details in which personne'
IS affected 1t became known that pu-
reau chiefs and their subordinates as
well as certain interests affected oy tne
contemplated changes are preparing 10
fight through members of the Senate ana
House, their scheme mainly peins 10
wreck the whole program and leave
matters as at present.
In the main the disputes range as
follows: Whether prohibition enforce
ment should be in the hands OF the
Treasury Department or the depart
ment OF Justice; whether the iores,
service should be in the Department OIL
the Interior or the Department OF Agri-
culture whether the Bureau of Markets
should be in the Department OF Agri-
culture or the Department of Commerce
and whether foreign trade promotion
should be in the Department OF COM
mnrce or the State Department.
It is expected that whatever way
President Harding decides. II Is almost
q foregone conclusion that an agree
ment of the Cabinet members cannon
be obtained and that the fight will be
carried to Congress. So many interests
are involved and so large personnel
Is affected that there will be no com
promise until the last possibility Tor
favorable action is encountered.
Mr.. Harding's hope Is that he will be
able to submit the program to the joint
Congressional committee within week
q, ten days. The committee almost in'-
medately will begin hearings. using
the Administration program as basis,
to determine for itself what changes
chould be made.
1t is developing that the Congress
sional Committee OF three members of
| the Senate and three OF the House in
| tends to be skeptical of the program
| worked out by Mr.. Brown. They fear
chat Mr.. Brown, working with department
heads and chiefs Of bureaus, has fallen
| under their influence and has not gone
| far enough with the reorganization plan.
| OF course they will not be sure of this
until they have seen the charts and
| other data.
So much delay was encountered by
| Mr.. Brown in working out the scheme
that q certain i'll feeling has developed
| among members of the committee. Some
| felt that they were not consulted suf-
| ficiently. and that Mr.. Brown went
ahead with the scheme without regard

| this reason that they intend to go into
the Brown plan in every detail, satisfy

LOCKWOOD INQUIRY
FOUGHT IN ASSEMBLY
Committee Blocked There in
Effort to Continue It's Probe
Another Year.

Special Dispatch TO THE NEW York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany. Jan. 2e.
The Lockwood committee may get an
extension of time for another year to
continue its investigation in New York,
but. If so, It will be only after a hard
fight. AS the situation now rests the
committee is blocked in the Assembly.
Senator Lockwood and Samuel Inter
myer will have to bring strong pressure
on the Assembly to get through the res
olution continuing the life of the COM
mittee. Surprisingly strong opposition
has developed. The pressure on the AS
semblymen is coming from powerful in
terests in New York including most OF
the banking and some other corpora
tions. who object to giving Mr.. Inter
myer life term as public inQuisitor.
Speaker Machold has not filled the
vacancy in the committee in place Of
Edward J. Neary of Queens. Assembly,
man George II. Jesse Of New York. pro-
gressive Republican and regarded as one
Of the ablest men in the house. has been
suggested by the committee to fill the
post. So far the Speaker has given no
indication that he intends to name him.
Machold Is regarded as having been for
the last year opposed to the committees 3
indefinite continuance in authority. His
present attitude is interpreted by friends
Of the investigators as unfriendly.
Appeal will be made 10 Gov. Miller
to take a hand on behalf of the COM
mittee if the present attitude of the leg
;,1 t<ro t, atvto trA1 l,t 10 a
sign Of trouble on the majority side, and
the leaders are making haste to iron II
out.
There is little trouble over the COM
mittee on the Senate side. The ma
jority leaders In the Senate admit frank
ly they do not relish the idea Of letting
the committee go on indefinitely. They
say it's work should have been COM
pleted by this time. Also. they have
no liking for Mr.. Untermyer since he
came here last year and practically
dared the Legislature to choke off the
investigation and kill the committee. But
the Senator'S say 1t would be bad poll
tics to suppress the inquiry when much
remains to be Investigated.
IT Is for these reasons that the op-
position to this committee, all springing
from the financial district in New York.
has concentrated on the Assembly and
there the fight will have to be made.
Unless the committee and Mr.. Inter
myer succeed in rousing public sentiment
and lining up enough backing to scare
off the timed. the resolution will die In
the Assembly committee and the inves-
tigation will cease.
The committee will not get additional
authority. That is almost a certainty.
There is no disposition in either house
to give Mr.. Untermyer new powers to
! go into the banks and insurance COM
| panies. If he had that authority II
| is believed Mr. Untermyer would jump
| Immediately into an inquiry of Wall
Street, and the Legislature has no inter-
| ton OF standing for that.

Lockwood committee and scatning
criticism of those who woufu seek to
abolish it or terminate its work. The
committee. ne said, In It's preliminary re-
port, will recommend its own continu-
ance, but will let its record speak for
itself. There is much work yet TO be
done; in fact the committee is but little
more than half through, he said, but the
responsibility of its continuance or ter
mination must rest with the Legislature.
He finished with an equally scathing
denunciation Of the city administration
and its failure to remedy conditions in
so far as lay within its power. He was
particularly severe In his attack on
David Hirshfield, Commissioner Of Ac-
counts. He said:

Moral Leadership

should like to say a few words,
and not too many, about the
moral aspect of University life.
am aware that when righteous
ness becomes vociferous it be-
comes a little dulled, and when
it brags about itself it ceases to be
righteous.
Nevertheless, we cannot forget
that righteousness is our chief
concern, in college as out of
college. Here es elsewhere, it
is to be approached both by di-
rection and by indirection.
Consider for moment some of
these approaches:
To awaken the sense of response
bility for coherent thinking,
one of the first aims of college
teaching, unquestionably has a
moral significance.
To Grouse an interest in the
search for truth, regardless of
personal considerations, is a
moral achievement. In some
lives it means a moral revolution.
To cultivate taste and discrimina
tion-in art and letters, in man.
ners, in hero-worship, in satire
is to assure at least 9 by-product
in morals, a generous by-prodvct
in many lives.
To hold fast the convictions that
spiritual values are supreme, even
in material world and in a ma
terialistic age, is to gain a moral
victory; and to render this con-
viction prevalent all through a
great company of young men and
women--is not that of the very
essence of university teaching?
Students themselves make the
moral atmosphere of student life.
Some of the best things / have
found in New York University
are undergraduate ideals, which
spring in part FROM undergraduate
life itself and in part from the
rnaturer ideals of the students of
other days.
A college is a fellowship of young
life with a little leisure for the
interplay of mind upon mind
before the task-work of life shall
begin. Let this fellowship be
soundly democratic in that it
shall welcome the best without
regard to wealth or pedigree, and
let a few great teachers take their
part in its interchange Of thought
and aspiration, and the results
will reach to the ends Of the earth.
In such a college environment
spirit comes to its best, and the
allegiance of alumni to their alma
mater rises into service of the
Nation and of humanity.
The New York herald., 1922-01-23
