NEW YORK, Week ending March 26.-CBy Associated Press) Three nationally-known experts in pub lie administration set forth this week cn a survey of the Executive structure of the Federal Govern ment.
 They were appointed by the Pres ident and were authorized to pre- sent to the next Congress a plan )f reorganization and coniolsdation.
 They are: Louis Browlow, of Chi cago. Director of the Public Admin stration clearing house; Charles E. Marian, University of Chicago, Professor of political science; and Luther H. Gulick, of New York Director of the Institute of Pub lie Administration.
 Brownlow, a former newspaper man, served five years as com missioner of the District of Col umbia Subsequently, he was City Manager of Petersburg, Va, and Knoxville, Tenn More recently, consultant of the New York City Housing Commission and lecturer in political science at the Univer- sity of Chicago.
 Dr. Marian. a Republican can didate for Mayor of Chicago in 1911, was a member of the Hoover Commission on social trends. He is a noted authority on American pol itics and government.
 Dr. Gulick is a professor of muni- cipal administration at Columbia University He also lectures at Yale and the University of Chicago. The President announced their ap- pointment before he left for his fishing cruise in the waters off the Florida coast
 In letters to Vice President Gar ner and Speaker Byrns, he disclosed he has been holding conversations on this subject since last October with informed and interested per sons"
 While the three-man commission has general authority, the Presi- dent in his letters made this espec- ial observation:
 Many new agencies have been created during the emergency, some of which will, with the recovery, be dropped or greatly curtailed, while others, in order to meet the newly realized needs of the nation, will have to be fitted into the perman- ent organization of the Executive branch.
 "One object of such study would be to determine the best way to fit the newly-created agencies or such parts of them as may become more or less permanent into the regular organization"
 The survey, the President recom- mended, should be carried on in cooperation with the inquiry now under way by Senate Commit tee, of which Harry Flood Byrd is chairman
 Two of the Presidents appoint ments, Guliok and Brownlow, were previously chosen by Senator Byrd's committee as members of an ad- visory board.
 The House of Representatives was also requested by the President to establish committee to lend aid in the survey.
