ROOSEVELT VIEWS
ON BUREAUCRACY
IN WASHINGTON

II have sought to make two
things clear: First, that we
can make savings by reOrgani-
ZatiOn Of existing depart
mentS, by eliminating func-
tiOns, by abOlishing many of
the innumerable boards and
commissions which over q
long period Of years have
grown up as excreScenceS on
the regular system. These
savings can properly be made
to total many hundreds Of
millions of dollars a year.
Secondly, I hope that it will
not be necessary to increase
the present scale of taxes, and
I call definite attention to
the fact that as soon as the
Democratic platform pledge
is enacted into legislation
modifying the VOIstead act,
a source of new revenue
amounting to several hundred
millions of dollars a year will
be made available toward the
balancing Of the budget"

Senate Democratic leaders drove
their heavy majority speedily to-
ward enactment of President

The custom of a weekend re-

Opposition Small but Firm
Opposition forces were a small
minority, but promised brisk
verbal battle before going down to
defeat. The House long ago passed
the bill.
Obstacles to quick passage in

troduce a constitutional fight to
