DEP ARTN|ENTA[
BILL To Be
PUSHED
Welfare Job in Cabinet to
Await Reorganization
Measure Action

The movement in Congress to
create a new department of educa-
ton and relief, under direction of a
secretary with seat in the Presi-
dents cabinet, has been halted until
action is taken by Congress on
legislation reorganiZing the Gov
eminent departments.
President Cool dge recommended
in his recent message to Congress
enactment Of the departmental re-
organization bill in the interest of
efficiency and economy in govern
I1lent. The Senate leaders have an
nounced this bill has been placed
on its Legislative program for this
session. The House steering COM
nittee recently took action on i'm
perattve legislation and included
the reorga nization bill among the
Possibilities.
Congressman Dallinger Rep) of
Massachusetts,. chairman of the
House Education Committee, has
pressed his bill for department o.
education and public welfare which
Is modelled after suggestions in
the report of the special committee
OAAs uGpSAteAAACISNAt' AOOA 1Ito
ccmmittee decided today it would
be Inwise to bring out this bill in
advance of. action by Congress on
the reorganization bill because ere.
alton of the new department would
affect several existing departments
by withdrawing from several of
them :, activities which they now
direct.
The report from the reorganiza.
ton committee was made to Con-
greSs at the last session. Opposi-
ton to some of its features at that
time caused action on the report to
be held up, for missionary work.
The blanket endorsement given the
proposed legislation by President
Coolidge has helped the bill, but al!
oppos ton has not been removed
and House leaders are unwilling to
displace with 1t any of the appr0-
priation bills because of delay for
the latter.
