In which he called attention to the need
for an effective organization of the ex-
ecutive branch of the Government and
in which he specified certain specific
changes in the Governments activities,
suggested the creation of an assistant
secretary for merchant marine. The
President did not specify to what
department he would assign the pro-
posed assistant secretary to mer-
chant marine, but 1t is generally under
stood from informal talks with the
President that he has the Department
Of Commerce in mind for greater part
of the administrative work of the mer-
chant marine activities.
The Presidents contention in the
matter of effective reorganization Is
that executive and administrative func-
tions should have single-headed respon-
sibility and that advisory. regulatory
and quasi judicial functions should be
performed by boards and commissions
BY the adoption of this general prin-
ciple, the President has pointed out
that the expense and lack of efficiency
because of divided responsibility could
be eliminated. $3.50.

Judge Douglas Edmonds sustained a
demurrer yesterday against an injunc-
ton suit seeking to halt the recall

and roles played by Grace Peters
Johnson. Caroline Mckinley, Thomas
Cahill and one or two others we're
the mainstay of an evening which
was not by any means up to the
usual standard of this gifted group.
In the first place. the casting depart
ment seems to have gone somewhat
astray in its allotment of the prin-
cipal roles. and in the second place
the actors spoke their lines with less
assurance and less whimsy than the
attractive atmosphere created by the
author warrants. A slow beginning,
too. did much towards dampening
a performance which later on be-
came more ingratiating.
The second act, in its initial stages,
was the best, Miss Mckinley being as
gracefully statuesque as a porcelain
doll, Mrs. johnson contributing here
and there professional zealousness,
and Mr.. Cahill giving a touch
to it which few others achieved.
Bernard Barton, in the much
famed Leslie Howard role. gave an
earnest and sincere performance.
