REORGAN|zlNG PLAN
MEETS OPPOSITION
Brown Appears Before Cab
inet-Department of De-
. tense FroWned Upon.

Walter F. Brown. chairman or the
Joint committee on Reorganization OF
government departments appeared
before President Coolidge and the
cabinet at the White House today,
when the entire reorganization pian
was understood to have been frankly
discussed and the differences OF opln-
ion over the present plan CONSIDERED.
While the specific objections raised
by various members of the CABINET
to the plan were not revealed, II was
understood that the department heads
reflected considerable feeling of dis
satisfaction with number or the
ALLEGATIONS of bureaus and establish
mentS.
Defense Plans Opposed.
The principal objection understood
to still be occupying the minds OF the
cabinet was said to be against the
so-called department of national de-
fense. calling for the coordination
of the War Department and the Navy
Department.
The late President Harding in his
letter of transmittal of the plan
forged similar opinion when ne
said "the changes. with few eXcep-
tions notably that of co-ordinatlng
all agencies of national defense, nave
the sanction of the cabinet
May BE Ready January 4.
Since the death of President Hard
ing new objections to certain phases
of the plan seemed to have arisen,
and it was the feeling in some quar-
ters today that there was more diff
ficulty ahead for the reorganization
plan than had appeared at the time
President Harding transmitted it Of
ficially to the joint committee.
Hearings on the plan will probably
open before the joint committee the
latter part of this month or early in
December, Mr.. Brown estimated to-
day. The committee had hoped to
open it's hearings early in November.
but on account of the inability of
certain members to be present the
date has been postponed. Mr.. Brown
expressed the opinion that if hear
ings progressed satisfactorily a bill
might be ready for presentation
simultaneously to both houses by

struggled over the night before. Bill

vine toward it, when he heard voices.
Two men, at least, were on their way
up to the spring. as he was on his
way down. One OF the man-hunting
parties. he thought. His left foot
darted out to stop a small boulder
that had started to slide, and in that
position he stood stock still. He
would wait until they filled their can
teens and vamoosed. 1t was still half
dark in the bottom OF the ravine.
Minutes passed before voice reached
him:
-. Sure. I can make it..
Back at dark, with coffee. beans and
pork. You can lie up safe here. No
one comes TO this spring"
A weak murmur Of a voice an
wered. and then a laugh from the
hrst--a laugh Billings had come to
know.
I'll take chance. Not on

over there in Caliente. I'll be hurry
in back here to our own poison -oak

A fun minute after that, Ranger
Pillings reached his hand slowly down
and picked up the loose boulder under
his left foot. He placed It safely on
a ledge where it couldn't slide, and
wiped his forehead with his sleeve.
His enemies had been delivered into

Twenty minutes later. Billings was
less than forty feet lower down from
the point where he had first heard
voices but he knew now exactly
where his man lay, like a stag in his
iorm, deep in q brush of ferns twenty
teet lower still. He waited for a ray
actual sunlight to penetrate the
ferns. From time 20 time he heard a
moaning breath.
Hello, Dryden" he said at last. as
close as one in the same room.

eide to draw. What's the matter

wall.
Billings chuckled iraudibly. Dryden
still had a shift to work to cover
Dave Ilcomb's tracks.
NOW that's too bad" Billings said
indulgently. Excuse me for being
suspicious. but note that you reached
for six-shooter."
