 Washington, Aug 21-OUP)- The MIRA prepared today to an- nounce a new army setup which will reorganize code administration in preparation for fulfillment of its desired goal of full self-govern- ment of business.
 Gen Hugh s. Johnson, ordered by President Roosevelt to keep hls feet nailed down" to MIRA headquarters, is believed about to announce the complete re-group- ing of the approximately 700 codes and supplements which now cover 95 per cent of the nations indus trial workers
 The new MIRA setup follows the general lines of army organization by divisions and armies.
 Charts for the new plan have been drafted, studied and revised for weeks by Johnson and subor- dinates. It is believed the final schedule will bring all codes into 22 groupings of related industries. Smoothing out hour and wage pro- visions in related groups will put them on a fairer basis of competi- tion.
 To be Eleven Divisions Eleven divisions would be set up over these groups, necessitating appointment of at least three more division administrators. Over the divisions five sectors are pro. sistant administrator.
 These five assistants probably would comprise the administrative board which Johnson has recon. mended to the president. He win obviously be board chairman, re- maining at least through the tran sition period until the new plan is running smoothly enough to provide the basis of recommenda- tions for permanent legislatoin.
 Although several sources indi- cate there may be delay before announcement of the administrative board by the president, it Is be- lieved the remainder of the plan may be put into effect at once by the administrator. Col GeorgG s. Brady, assistant administrative officer has had full charge of pre- pairing the new lineup. Code ad- ministration, which began as soon as the first codes were effected, will be vastly changed and speed- ed up, officials believe,
 The Various Sectors
 Sector No l" for producing in, dustries, is to have four divisions: Food, textile, including leather and fur codes; basic materials, includ- ing lumber and timber, fuel, fer rous and non-ferrous metals, non- metallic products; chemicals in- cluding paper and rubber.
 The equipment industries sector has three divisions: Equipment, with that code group; arts and crafts, with pe!ygraphic and per. sonal use produets construction, with the construction code and IS supplements, covering 2,500,000 workers.
 The service industries sector is divided into public utilities, in- cluding transportation and con,- munication code groups; finance services, including the amusement codes.
 Distribution trades comprise Sector No 1" with one division bringing together 24 retail and wholesale codes which cover 4,- S50,000 workers, more than one- fifth of the entire MIRA family.
 The fifth sector would cover field administration, under which comes the complex problem of code com plianee.
 The new grouping will eliminate existing difficulties such as hand ling chemicals, construction, and boots and shoes under one di- vision. Textiles are now scattered in three divisions.
 Problems to be tackled at once include:
 1. Elimination of overlapping in codes. Some firms now are as-
