Washington, April 1 - A new group of hitherto concealed brain trusters has been pulled out of the bushes by the president himself, to compose the committee which will make a survey of the government for him, with a view to reorganiza- tion.
 Nobody will ever know exactly how much influence Louis Brown low, chairman, had on the New Deal. But members and proteges of the Brownlow group have come into government ranks in consider able numbers.
 Just as Dr. Felix Frankfurter of Harvard was called on to recom- mend lawyers and Dr. TugwelI brought in numerous economists, BrownIow often has been asked to recommend men for the New Deals administrative and execu- tive jobs.
 Aloof from political policies, he and his lieutenants have drafted administrative set-ups for various agencies.
 The aid he has given and now is expected to give in the reor- ganization study is especially in- teresting because behind BroWnloW are the Rockefellers and their mill | lions.

SCOUT BULLETIN PLANS
Proposes Observance of Kind-tO-AnimaI Week Here

The April bulletin of the Water bury council of Girl Scouts, released by Miss Edna Weber, scout ex- ecutive, contains an interesting an- nouncement of a be-kind-to-aninal- week, from April 20-25. During this period there will be an attempt to change the attitude of those per- sons who are inclined to be cruel to animals by forwarding the under standing of humane education.
 It is suggested that the construc- ton of bird houses would be great aid in the advancement of the ob- ject of the weeks work and that such activities as holding pet shows, giving short talks on animal life, presentations of playlets which illus trate the plan of humane treatment of animals and feeding of homeless animals would also be helpful fac- tors in making the week success.
 Meetings listed for the first part of the month are listed as follows:
 Food sale at Rowland Hughes on Saturday, April 4, to be conducted by the senior members of troop 19.
 On Tuesday, April 2, there will be a leaders meeting in Watertown.
 On Wednesday, April 8, the camp committee, headed by Miss Helen Miner, will meet at headquarters. Those members of the camp com mittee who will attend are: Miss Helen Miner, Mrs. s. A. Case, Mrs. Francis Phillips, Mrs. William Gager, Mrs. William T. Leggett and Mrs. Edna Weber.
 Another item listed in the bulletin is concerned with the fact that most troops in the council have held tent caterpillar hikes. Records of those scouts who have handed in clusters to be destroyed will be listed for awards at the scout office. There is also an announcement that the badges and awards committee will meet on Wednesday April 8, at headquarters.

 Waterbury's vote for Attorney Citron was among the highest given any of the candidates on the dem- ocratic state ticket. Professor Bake wells defeat was a decisive one and was one of the big upsets that oc- cured in 1884 when the entire state ticket was swept into office.
 Two Survivors
 Only two republican congressman survived in the democratic landslide and the post of congressman-at- large went to Attorney Citron, for mer minority leader of the house of representatives in Hartford.
 Special importance is attached to the candidacy of Professor Bake well locally because Waterbury vot- CTS have the right of voting for or against him. The state now has six congressman in Washington.
 Five of them are elected by dis tricts. Congressman J. Joseph Smith of Waterbury represents the fifth district. Congressman Citron repre- sents Connecticut as a whole. When the next campaign takes place Citron will face Bakewell and voters here as well as in all other cities, towns and boroughs of the state will have the opportunity of en- dorsing either candidate.
 Highly Esteemed
 When news of Professor Bake wells candidacy was received in Washington, D. C., Assistant Floor Leader Martin, republican, said:
 His defeat was 8 blow not only to Connecticut but to New England and the country generally. I hope the people of his state will now CO., operate with those of Us trying to steer safe legislative course by re- turning him to Washington as con- gressman-at-large."
 Local republican leaders are pleased with Professor Bakewell's candidacy because they feel he can win in the state this year. Local democratic chieftains are confident that Waterbury will give Citron majority greater than that of two years ago.

Other Efforts Fizzled

Heretofore, however, these pub lie administrators have been prim- arily important in state and city governments. Gulick, for instance, showed Senator Harry Byrd, when the latter was governor, how to re- organize the state government of Virginia.
 Federal reorganization is some thing else again. The fact that the Brownlow- Merriam -Gulick trio is well equipped for the job and that its stud. will be something to point to in campaign year doesn't mean that thorough rejiggering of the federal set-up is anything more than pious hope.
 President William Howard Taft became excited over the idea 25 years ago and appointed a Com mission on Economy and Eff cency. Harding appointed Joint Committee on Reorganization of the Executive Departments which Iabored under Walter F. Brown from 1921 to 1924.
 Herbert Hoover preached reOr- ganizatiOn for years and before he became president and let the word leak out that reorganization would be the big job of his first term. Late in 1881 he handed Congress a Elan for rejiggering about 50 agencies and commissions, mostly in the public health, conservation, education, and public works fields. Congress couldn't see the value of 1t.
 In May, 1893, Roosevelt and Budget Director Lew Douglas were wo:, ing on a plan which advance ballyhoo said would save $500, ,000,- 000 Actual results were so minor that no one remembers what they were.

Eitor, Tall Tower Topics. Through the medium of your column would like to get something off my mind that has troubled for time. think the time is appropriate that the East Mountain Golf Course is about to open to voice the opinion of myself and fellow goers in regards to the Hamilton Avenue bus service Anyone who has to take that bus to get to the golf course will agree with that the mile hike at the end of the ride is very dsaseful and inconvenient. Last year that condition helped to extent by the installation of lockers at the club house. Even though this has eviated the task of totng
 bag of clubs, etc., that very unpleasant walk awaits you. Now why couldn't the Connecticut Company lengthen the of the bus that extra mile so? If they would, they would help class of golfers and incdenty their habitual customers, the without cars. If they think there would not be enough of demand to warrant the service all say is try it out for short time Or they might run every other bus the additional distance It would prove it's worth to the Connecticut Company besides being boon to the careless man.
