bureaus having to do with the merchant
marine would be grouped.
His intention in this connection Is to
have the Shipping Board act solely as
regulatory body and In an advisory
capacity on loans and policies In keep
ing with its original conception.
In his message the President also
failed to outline his purpose in Great
ing an assistant secretary for public
health and an assistant secretary for
merchant marine, assistant secretary for
conservation, assistant secretary for
agricultural research and an assistant
secretary for agricultural economics
In proposing these new places the
President did say: With the enormous
growth Of governmental business there
has been great expansion and diffusion
OF authority amongst minor officials AT
the same time, there Is an insufficient
number Of officials Of definite and con-
centrated responsibility to the public
The additional expense Of such officers
over and above the salaries now paid
officials who would be displaced would
be less than $40, 900 q year. The saving
in cost of administration would be
many times this sum-"
Asks Immediate Action.
To further impress upon Congress
the need for effective reorganization
without delay, Mr. Hoover said the
present crisis makes it absolutely nee
essary to effect the most drastic
economy. "The amount of saving in
public funds to be effected by a
thoroughgoing reorganization, while
difficult to estimate accurately, will be
material, amounting to mahy millions
of dollars annually"
To strengthen this argument the
President reminded Congress that few
consultations already effected, notably
in law enforcement and the veterans
services. have been able to discharge
very greatly increased burdens without
such an increase in administrative ex-

LINCOLN RELICS DRAW
THRONGS TO NEW HOME
Moving of Collection to Ford Thea
ter Proves Wise Step to Increase
Public Interest

The wisdom of moving the Lincoln
collection into the old Ford Theater on
Tenth street near E street has been
amply demonstrated. in the opinion of
the officials of the Office of public build
ings and public parks, for there is now
an average of 500 visitors daily.
In the building across the street,
where the Oldroyd collection was
housed for many years, the average
number of visitors at this time of the
year, officials said, was about Is day.
Admission to the Ford Theater Build
ing is free, whereas the public paid Is
cents to view the Oldroyd collection.
Pictures of the hanging of con-
spirators accused of bringing about the
death Of Abraham Lincoln seem to be
the greatest attraction to the public
in the old theater. observers say. The
slave sale posters likewise attract con-
siderable attention.
officials foresee an unprecedented in
flux of visitors this tourist season to
view the Lincoln collection because of
the Bicentennial celebration and the
enlarged quarters in which the relics
are displayed to much better ad-
vantage

concentrations of the committee also
is before the Congress. These propo-
sails are the result of painstaking study
and earnest deliberation. They offer a
solution of the problems connected with
this Remnant of our public domain
which have persisted for the past 25
years. I commend the report to the
attention of the Congress. deeming the
legislation of sufficient importance to
justify early action.
In conclusion, I cannot recommend
too strongly that the Congress give the
subject of effective organization of the
executive branch of the Government its
early and serious attention. 1t is an
essential part of sound reconstruction
and economy program. A patchwork
organization compels inefficiency, waste,
and extravaganza. Economy and eff
cheney can come only through modern
ization. A proper reorganization of our
departments, commissions and bureaus
will result, not only in much greater
