Der II.
President Coolidge does not approve
Of the proposal to have the United
States Bureau of Efficiency placed in
the Budget Bureau. In expressing
himself to this effect today while dis.
cussing the proposal with callers,
the President said that he had not
given the proposition much thought,
but he doubted if any great results
could be attained by such a merger.
Bureau Purely Financial.
The President takes the position
that the Budget Bureau is a distinct
ly financial bureau of the Govern
ment and should be maintained as
such, and he would not care to under
take burdening this important bureau
with other administrative duties. He
thinks it has enough work to perform
now directly in line with the purpose
for which it was created.
The President admitted that there
may be some good reason for sup.
costing such a consolidation and that
possibly such a consolidation might
possess attractive features, but at the
present time he would prefer to keep
THESE Two bureaus separate and dis
tinct.
Inasmuch as the possible advantages
are doubtful in his mind, he would
be inclined to strongly oppose such a
merger. He would rather relieve the
Budget Bureau Of any unnecessary in.
cumberances. According to the ad.
vices he has received, these two bu.
reaus are performing services which
are valuable and he has no informa.
ton that would cause him to feel that
such consolidation would be econom.
ical or beneficial.
Will Continue Receptions.
Reports received here that the Presi.
dent was considering disseminating of.
fetal receptions this coming Winter
were emphatically denied by President
Coolidge today. He said he had never
thought of such thing. He strongly
faVorS the custom. He looks upon
them as traditions of the Capital and
he thinks such official receptions are
helpful and are a genuine part of the
life of Washington.
The many oceanic air flights since
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh's success
full flight from New York to Paris
have demonstrated that such flights
can be made. but that they are not
easy. Because Of the many unsuccess.
full attempts the President Is con.
WINGED that the lesson to be learned
from these failures should be helpful
IN advancing the science Of flying.
He thinks that there is much to be
learned regarding greater safety and
surety OF reaching an objective point.
The President paid high tribute to
Col. Lindbergh's flight while discuss
ing oceanic flights today when he said
that the more we see of other oceanic
flights the more Lindbergh's flight to
Paris stands out. He added that
Llndbergh started for a definite point
and reached it. He added. however.
that his reference to this was not
intended to detract from other flyers.
but to emphasize the difficulties to be
met by those attempting such flights.
