MOVE TO REVAMP
FEDERAL BUREAUS
TO Be EXPEDITED
Vandenberg to Seek Amend
ment to Confer Broad
Powers on President.
WOULD ATTACH PLAN
TO INTERIOR FUND BILL
Proposal Will Come Up While
Senate Considers Promotion
Ban Voted by House.

An effort to get prompt action in
Congress looking to reorganization of
the Government departments by in
cluding in the Interior Department ap-
preparation bill an amendment con-
ferring broad reorganization power on
the President will be made by Senator
Vandenberg, Republican, of Michigan,
when the Senate resumes consideration
of the Interior bill this afternoon.
Senator Vandenberg will offer his
proposal while the Senate is consider
ing the provisions placed in the bill by
the House to prohibit salary promotions
and to curtail the filling of vacancies
until after July, 1888. These two limi-
,tations were advanced by the House as
economy measures. The Senate Ap-
preparations Committee has recon-
mended that they be eliminated from
this and other appropriation bills IN
order that further discussion of the ad-
visibility of such restrictions may oe
had in conference.
In Line With Georges Resolution.
Senator Vandenberg feels that since
the House has, by these limitations,
opened the door to discussion of per-
sonnel problems. that it would be ap-
propriate in that connection for the
Senate to consider steps looking to
general reorganization of governmental
agencies
Senator Vandenberg's proposal to
give the President authority to pro-
coed with reorganization of bureaus or
departments is in line with a resolution
prepared by Senator George, Democrat,
of Georgia, which has been favorabiy
reported to the Senate from the Fl
nance Committee. If the move to at
tach a reorganization plan to the In
terror appropriation bill succeeds, its
chances of enactment at this session
would be much greater than if it is
considered separately.
Howard U. Fight Up Again.
The Senate also will reach a final
determination this afternoon on the
question of how much should be allow
ed in the Interior bill for Howard Uni
yersity. Late yesterday afternoon the
Senate, on motion of Senst tor Smoot of
Utah, in charge of the bill, restored the
s$400,000 which the Appropriations
Committee had cut out, for the building
program at the university. Today SEN
ator Costigan, Democrat of Colorado,
will offer further amendments to put
back some OF the money for salaries
and general expenses of the university
which was recommended by the Budget
Bureau, but reduced by the House
While the House restrictions on sal
AIRY promotions and filling of vacancies
are at issue in the Interior bill, the final
decision on these questions will come in
the conference report on the agricul-
tural appropriation BILL since that is the
first bill to reach the conference stage.
Since Incorporating these limitations in
several of the early appropriation bills,
the House has partially reversed its stand
by leaving out of the Treasury-Po
Office bill the ban on normal salary
promotions. With regard to vacancies,
the House has provided in all the ap-
preparation bills that only such vacan-
cies as the President declares to be
essential may be filled.

very nttle information on the subject.
"A washington State farmer a few years
ago caused postal receipts to mount
throughout the Nation when he wrote
an article for a popular magazine de-
Scrlblng how he had raised large frogs
from the tadpole stage on his frog farm.
He said he got his start by following

ments frog pond at Woods Hole, Mass.
IL tooK some time for this boom to die
out.
No Extensive Research.
Ihe bureau, believing that frog cul-
lure Is not possible, has never made an
extensive research. Unlike chicken rails
ing, frog farming has many pitfalls. 1t
lakes elgnC years for bullfrog to reach
auult stage, 1t must be fed on live food
ana must be separated from smaller
frogs Wnen 1t reaches adult years be-
cause 1t has cannibalistic ideas.
frog hunting today is a commercial
success put 1t is very limited in scope.
me best fields are in Louisiana, Mis-
sLSslppl ana Florida. and so fast has
tnls INDUSTRY grown in this section that
IrogS are now being exported.
washington seafood merchants state
tn2t frog legs are worth their weight in
pala Tor them it takes only a few Off
clai al, words to start frog farming boom.
Ihe Bureau of Fisheries pamphlet on
bulltrogs today is not to be obtained at
any price, There is only one copy
available and that is in the well guard
ed hands OF Commissioner of Fisheries
henry O'Malley. Records show that
Proi. Wright, who is reported to have
mace very lengthy research on frogs,
received 81 740 for the article.
In order to ascertain at first hand
whether a bullfrog can. be raised, Com
missioner OMalley has ordered one
tank In the Commerce Departments
aquarium set aside for a couple of good
builfrogs. They will be fed each day
ny placing food on stick and moving
1t around in the water. If the expert
ment proves success, it is probable
that the Republican administration will
authorize the publication of a PAM
phlet TO supplement the booklet printed
by the Democrats, which Public Printer
Carter satends to circulate at the cost

get MS presses going on the reprint

VIEWS TO BE GIVEN
ON STREET CLOSING
Commissioners and Planning OFF,
cials to Be Heard by Senate
Committee.

The Senate District Committee is
scheduled to hear the District Com
missioners and officials of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commission
this afternoon on a proposed law out
lining the procedure to be followed in
closing streets and alleys that have
become unnecessary by reason of
changes in the highway plans.
The District Commissioners in a re-
port filed yesterday, objected to q
clause in the bill to require them to
obtain the approval of the Park and
Planning Commission before closing
such streets and alleys The Park and
Planning officials take the view that
this requirement is essential in view
Of a previous law which made the
Park and Planning Commission the
successor to the old Highway Commits
sion.
The District Commissioners suggested
yesterday that the pending bill be
postponed until the two agencies have
a chance to prepare a codiication of
all the laws relating to streets, high
ways and alleys.
The Senate Committee may consider
several other local bills this after
noon.
