ends OF the elaborate Government re-
organization plan which the Chief Exec
n r,cta
granted him by the last Congress. An
early report Is in prospect.
Wnlle many Of the realignments
which the President can make by mere

At the Commerce Department, while
secretary Roper has been stabbing into
his various bureaus for "luxuries" which
might be abolished, he has found time
to confer with experts on transporta-
ton. This has given rise to a belief
that the administration is going for
ward with its plan for setting up a
giant transportation bureau to handle
railroads, aviation, shipping, pipe lines
and the like, possibly under the Com
merce Department.
Long Conferences Held.
Joseph B. Eastman end Chaees D.
Mahafhe, members of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. have conferred
at length with the Secretary in the last
two days. 1t is Understood, however,
that much Of this proposed set-up can
not be made throIlyh eYac,1tiva order
but will require separate legislation.
since the Interstate Commerce Conn
mission has many quasi-judicial func-
ttons conferred up~n it by Congress.
The general expectation is that the
first PRONUNCIATION of reorganization
orders by the President will be only the
beginning Of the shifts which he con-
templates and that others will be
worked out over q period of months, or
even years.
