Reorganization Of Government bu-
reauS is promised as follows:
Efficiency and economy demand re-
organization of Government bureaus.

Unemployment Relief.
Unemployment and relief are covered

ITO provide against the possible
failure of local and State agencies, the
President has urged the Congress to
create an emergency relief fund to be

mess Tuesday sped toward the musty
vault that houses the laws of the

The presidents signature was the
last necessary step. After a two-day
stay at the Virginia mountain camp,
Hoover had arranged to arise Just
after daybreak so he could be in
washington for the usual cabinet
meeting and to sign the $2,l22, 000, 00o
relief bill.
There were some features of the
relief effort that President Hoover
found Objectionable, but in his own
words, They are not so great as to
warrant refusal to approve the meas
ure in the face of the great service
that the major provisions will be to
the nation"
AS the time came for executive ap-
proval, the president and Represent
alive Rainey of Illinois, house DEM
ocratic leader, still were at odds over
whether 1t would be necessary to
make public details of all loans by the
reconstruction finance corporation.
Hoover said no, holding they could
be given to the senate and house in
confidence: Rainey said yes, insist
ing that if senate and house clerks
did not give them out they would be
called "on the carpet" when con-
gress convenes again.

The reconstruction corporation, to
which the measure gives an avail
able capital of $4,000, 900 900 instead
of mere $2,000,000,00O, was ready
to carry out the provisions OF the
measure.
Already the corporation had heard
that IA states intended to seek loans
from the $300,00O,000 fund establish
ed for direct relief OF restitution.
From at least two-Pennsylvania and
Illinois-came reports that they!
would ask the maximum $45, 00O, 900
allotable to any state.
There had been no definite word
about reorganization OF the corpora
tons directorate, as provided in the |
bill which called for retirement Of |
Eugene Meyer, governor of the fed
eral reserve, and Paul Bestor, farm
loan commissioner. The vacancies
must be filled by presidential ap-
pointment.
The corporation also was ready to
consider applications from states
md municipalities for loans with
which to build public works and toll
