HOOVER BUREAU
CHANGES STIR
ANXIETY
Authority for Reorganization
Of so Agencies Scanned;
Congress Holds Veto

The disclosure in President
Hoover's annual message that
he is ready to issue executive
orders for the consolidation and
grouping of more than SO govern
ment agencies, bureaus and COM
missions caused anxious perusal
here today of the legislative au-
thority under which the President
will proceed.
The Presidents series of eXecu.
tive orders, affecting some fifty
odd establishments and their per-
sonnel, will be so timed that un-
less Congress directly disapproves
of the program, in whole or in
part, the far-flung changes will
become effective before President
Hoover quits office March 4.
Provisions of Law
Assuming that the program, or
major part of it, goes through
with the consent of Congress, it
will leave little for Franklin D.
Roosevelt to do in reorganizing
government departments.
The law gives the President the
power to do these things, among
others:
"TO reduce the number Of
such agencies by consolidating
those having similar functions
under a single head; to elimi-
nate overlapping and duplica-
ton of effort: to segregate
regulatory agencies and func-
tiOns from those of an admin
Strative and executive char
acter.
ITO consolidate or redistribute
the functions invested in any
executive department or in the
executive agencies included in
any executive department; and
ITO designate and fix the
name and functions Of any
consolidated activity or execu-
tive agency and the title,
powers and duties Of its execu-
tive head"
Such is the blanket authorize
ton under which President
Hoover says he will act within
few days." His orders may be
issued before the end of the
week.
Congress- Veto Power
They go to Congress and if
acted upon affirmatively they be-
come at once effective. If Con-
gress says nothing they go into
effect, anyway, at the end of a
60-day period. If Congress dis
approves any part of the reor-
ganization scheme it must name
the item and expressly reject it,
whereupon it goes into the dis
card.

MARCHERS GO,
BONUS VETS
IN CAPITAL
$50 Chartered on | ST.; Farmer
Group Here; John Pace Heads
New Radical Invasion

Rid of all but 200 of the 5000
hunger marchers who demon
strated here yesterday, police to-
day turned their attention to a
new situation-the second bonus
army siege.
Like the hunger marchers, the
new bonus army, according to
police expectations, will be made
up entirely of Communists.
More than $50 of the new
bonus army have arrived in
town today and were quartered
at a building in the 900 block of
1 st. N. w.
John Pace Back
The same building was the
headquarters of radical veterans
who came here last summer with
the first bonus army.
Police announced that accord
ing to the best information avail
able at present, the second bonus
army will have at least a per
sonnel of 1000 members.
Among the leaders of this new
outfit are John Pace, who led
the radical left wing of the first
bonus army, and one Of his lieu
tenants, Frederick Walter Flicker.
Police anticipate the principal
trouble from this group to be cen
tered around the White House,
since it was around the Executive
Mansion that Pace and Flicker
made several abortive attempts to
establish picket lines during the
summer.
Arrested There Before
Pace and Flicker we're arrested
during two of these disorders.
Approximately $50 eX-servlce
men were among the hunger
marcherS, and police anticipated
that most of them had either re-
NAMED in the city or else would
double back before too far away.
The exodus of the hunger
marchers from Washington was
very slow. Although the northern
division was reported making
good time through Maryland, the
western division did not get away
until well after noon. The western
division left behind 16 automo-
biles, which were unable to move
because of mechanical trouble
and about 200 persons.
With less than 20 vehicles left
in their New York Avenue en-
campment the evacuation Of the

THE RAILROAD ENIGMA

The railroads are among our larg-
est taxpayers. In normal times they
are the most important employees of
labor and purchasers of supplies.
They perform a vital service which
no other agency can yet duplicate.
And we have led them to the brink
of ruin, by subiecting them to un-
equally regulated competition from
government subsidized steamship
and barge lines on the water, and
cOmmercialized motor transpOrta-
tion operating over state-built and
state-maintained rights of way paid
for by all private taxpayers, includ-
ing the railroads. All this, as Gov
ernor Ritchie pointed out some time
ago, 'has threatening consequences
to our future prosperity, as well as
to the millions of our people whose
savings are invested in the railroads,
either directly or through savings
banks and insurance companies"
When we deliberately cripple a
basic industry we all pay the bill.
We pay it in unemployment, in de-
pressed business, in smaller tax re-
ceipts for the public treasury. At
present most Industries suffer from
low earning capacity-but that has
been the condition of the railroads
ever since the war, due largely to
an overdose of restrictive regulation.
If ever the people had an interest in
an industrial problem, they have it
in the railroads.

Oh, for a glimpse of your dear smiling
face,
And handshake and welcome home
That all through life you meant so

And was our guiding star
Though you are gone.
You are not forgotten;
Never can the memory fade.
Loving thoughts are always lingering
Around the grave where mothers laid.
Gone, yes gone,
From the ones that loved you;
But only gone on before
We will meet you some glad morning
Where parting is no more.
