the Kings desire to receive his
visitors in informal attire owing
to the difficulty he experiences

ton bill, carrying the additional pay
cut for all Government employees,

the provision for further pay re-
service of l % per cent. This, along
with the existing 8i5 per cent cut
under the furlough plan, which would
make total reduction Of 10 per cent
during the next fiscal year.
The only change the full committee
made in the findings Of Senator Bing-
hams economy group was to make sure
that the President could not abolish an
entire executive department in carry
ing out reorganization plans, and to
make it clear that the authority to
consolidate and abolish bureaus is IN
tended to be exercised as a measure of
economy.
The Oddie subcommittee, handling
the specific appropriation items for the

allowances for those departments. If
that subcommittee finishes its work, the
appropriations Committee, headed by
Senator Hale Of Maine, will be con-

Although the economy program Is
being enacted as part of the Treasury
