The Kansas dinner last year was the
most successful event of it's kind in the
history of the society here. The record

too large for the accommodations that

U. S. GOVERNMENT
Harding Given Program
Of Chairman Brown of
Joint Commission.

A comprehensive program for re-
organizing the Federal government
to effect greater economies and to
eliminate Implications was pre-
scented to President Harding last
night by Walter F. Brown. chairman
OF the Congressional joint commits
sion on reorganization.
At present the plan, which is the
personal work of Brown, is meeting
objections In the Cabinet, which
President Harding has admitted
might prevent its prompt adoption.
VIII Have Ten Departments.
1t was learned that under the pro-
gram the government will consist of
ten DEPARTMENTS as at present, but
the present Army and Navy depart
ments will be consolidated into q
department of defense, and the new
tenth department will be one of edu-
cation and welfare. The new de-
partment, IL finally INCORPORATED
into the government. will fill one
of President Hardings campaign
promises.
The nSw department of defense
\ VIII be divided into threas divisions,
army. navy and national resources
The latter will be similar to the
Council of National Defense. cstab-
lished during the war 1t will make
comprehensive study of the re-
sources OF the country, and take
steps to have them ready for inn
mediate mobilization in case OF
war.
Control of Liquor tstocks
The plan also includes pro.
posal for purchase and concentra.
ton of all the liquor stocks of the
country and for disposition through
the Public Health Service to legiti.
mate channels. This is expected tc
