IL nese victors in the 1892 Olympics

them in Japan's parks, but they will

Sports enthusiasts of Japan hope to
purchase the houses in which their
athletes are quartered during the
games here this Summer and ship
them across the Pacific to COM
memorate their sports achievements.
1t is a far cry from the customs
of ancient Greece When ancient
games heroes returned to their cities,
historians say, large holes were torn
in the walls to permit grand home
coming, the populace taking the at
titude any city with such athletes
had no need for defense walls.

MERGER
=. FACES VETO,
FORECAST /
Senate, House Set to Snag
Hoover Plan; Raped
BY Budget Director

President Hoover's elaborate
governmental reorganization plan,
affecting So bureaus or divisions,
will be vetoed by Congress and the
entire joo left to the incoming
President, Franklin D. Roosevelt,
it appeared likely today.
The House Expenditures Com
mittee, which has concluded hear
ings on the Presidents plan, will
hold special meeting after the
Christmas holidays, at which time
it is expected that a veto reSolu-
ton will be approved.
Senate Opposed, Too
Chairman Cochran CD of Mis-
souri, said he believed the COM
mittee would act to halt the
mergers.
A veto resolution also is pend
ing in the Senate and may be
acted upon. Under the authority
given the President to effect the
reorganization, either Senate or
House must adopt a resolution
suspending the plan within so
days.
The movement in the House to
hold up the Presidents plan was
heightened by the opinion ex-
pressed by j. Clawson Roop, Di-
rector of the Budget, that no
action should be taken.
Appearing before the House Elk,
penditureS Committee, Director
Roop said that it was his per
sonal opinion" that the reorgani
cation matter should be left to the
incoming Democratic administra,
ton.
Hal ding Likewise Baked
The Presidents reorganization
plan, which was the outgrowth of
last years economy drive, has
aroused much opposition in Con
gresS.
The same opposition to Gov
ernment reorganization has been
encountered. in every administra
ton for years, beginning with the
oilure of the late President Hard
ing's ambitious attempt to re-
vamp comrletely the Govern
ment establishment.
Differences of opinion among
members of Congress, opposition
of bureau chiefs to loss of jobs
or power, and protests by inter
est7 directly affected always have
made any reorganization difficult
