Spread of the occupation strike

doubly dangerous because Frances

nations defense. =
The French Labor Federation to-

reported determined to resist all
efforts to make them grant this
concession. :
Officials Locked Up
Police were called into action
at st. Etienne to free directors of
the electric light plant who had
been locked UP by 200 strikers.
When persuasion failed, the
authorities resorted to drastic
measures.
Unless the strike is settled soon,
the strikers threatened to cut off

BYRD REVIVES
PLAN FOR new
BUREAU SETUP
COMMITTEE MAKING FULL
AND COMPLETE STUDY OF
TANcLE IN DEPARTMENTS,
COMMISSIONS, BOARDS
By BYRON PRICE
tChief of BuEeau. The Associated
Press. Washington

Press. Washington
Without any of the customary
ostentation and ballyhoo, senate
committee is undertaking modest
ly an investigation which, unlike
most senate inquiries may have a
profound effect on the future
operation Of the federal govern
ment.
The committee is charged with
making ''full and complete
study of the vast tangle of de-
partments, bureaus, boards, COM
missions and other agencies en-
braced in the governmental struc-
ture. A report is to be presented
year hence.
The interest which thoughtful
officials find in this effort does
not arise from anything novel
about the idea itself, for it is a
very old idea indeed. The new
thing about it is the widespread
belief that something really may
be done about government redrga-
nization, after long record of
failures involving both political
parties. o. - : = - -
In large part this expectation
of results is traceable to the fact
that the guiding spirit of the pre-
sent effort is Senator Byrd of
Virginia, whose earnestness of
purpose is evident and whose
background of experience makes
him an authority.
Issue Tossed About
For years public men have pro-
fessed to agree almost unani-
mously that the governmental ma
chine at Washington should be
simplified and coodinated. Yet the
issue has been tossed about end
lessly in a whirlpool of wordy
promises. fragmentary effort, and
final non-performance.
On Feb Is, 1923. President
Harding even went so far as to
submit to congress a detailed
plan. 1t proposed, among other
things, consolidation of the war
and navy departments, and the
grouping of a multitude of loose
administrative ends under a new
department of education and well
fare. 1t got nowhere. President
Hooyer's repeated espousal of re-
organization is well known. He
also made recommendations, and
he likewise created so many new
commissions that the opposition
party complained bitterly. Pres
ident Roosevelt stands for reorga-
nization. but the multiplication of
governmental agencies under his
administration has been constant
and progressive.

Landon Strength May Bring
Hoover And Borah Together
Politicians Keep Close
Watch On ALI Activities
Having Bearing On Cam
paign
By BYRON PRICE

NNnIcA Oh DuEtuus Inc ASSOcluteu
Press Washington
Nothing else thus far in the
Republican pre-convention CAM
Paign has caused more comment
than the spectacle of certain
friends of Herbert Hoover stand
ing shoulder to shoulder with GER
tain friends of William E. Borah
across the pathway of the Landon
boom.
For months Mr.. Hoover and Mr..
Borah have been looked upon by
a large section of the public as
symbolizing irreconcilable wings
of Republican thought.
Whatever the principals them
selves may have been thinking,
the impression among some of
their followers has gone even far
Their than that.
The Borah people have rsuppos-
ed that whatever Mr.. Hoover did
in the campaign would be tinged
with a hope that the Borah in
fuence would be. thereby, held in
check. Similarly, the Hoover peo-
pie have felt that whatever Mr..
Borah did would be directed large
.ly against a return to the Hoover
leadership.
Under these circumstances, it
has been taken for granted that
in every important party move
ment, the two would be found on
opposite sides of the fence. That
is what attracts so much attention
to the current situation with res
pect to Governor Landon.
No Direct Statements
1t should be borne in mind that
neither Mr.. Hoover nor Mr., Borah
has spoken out directly against
Mr.. LandOn-has made any attack
on him, or pronounced him mac
ceptable as presidential can
didate.
Yet the physical facts. as they
have developed in various import
ant sectors, aretas much a part Of
the story as anything which might
have been said or left unsaid by
either the former president or the
senator from Idaho.
Not only have some of the
Borah lieutenants openly accused
Mr.. Landon of being the candi-
date of certain financial interests.
but Nh. Borah himself has pressed
his candidacy vigorously in states
where that course collided forcibly
with plans of the Landon work
ers.
In his own state of California,
Mr.. Hoover's political associates
have actively opposed q Landon-
pledged slate OF delegates. When
it appeared that a three-way
primary battle would split the OPP
position to the Landon slate, Mr..
Borah stayed out of California,
leaving the. field to the Hoover
ties.
The inside story about these
developments is not available.
There always is the danger that
some of the implications may not
be warranted. Yet such facts as
do appear speak for themselves.
Consequences Unclear
The consequences cannot be as
sessed, of course, until the battle
over the nomination has proceed
ed much farther. g. -st
1t is quite apparent that the
supporters of Mr.. Iandon are
seeking to establish him as the
candidate of the west-a section
where both Mr.. Hoover and Mr..
Borah reside. They have not en-
couraged open declaration for him
among the eastern leaders.
Wanting the nomination HIM
self. it is understandable that Mr..
