precaution against the cold.
Special permission for their trans
portation had previously been Sc
cured from the Department of
Commerce.
DR.. William M. Mann, director
of the Zoo, said they all arrived in
good shape, some a little droopy,
but all revived in their new Zoo

means a wholesale reduction of

It is understood the President
believes that a reduction in per
sonnel of any extent Is possible
only if Congress stops some of
the functions of Government
At present it appears that any
personnel reductions will be Incl,

sight no wholesale salary list
slash.
Administration officials are in
quiring whether or not the reor'
ganized set-up can be effected
without almost endless congres.
Sional enactmentS. Every Gov
eminent function, commission,
bureau, etc., owes its existence
to some act of Congress or to
some line Of law existing in the
statutes or appropriation acts
over more than a century.
If the President is given blan-
ket authority to make some Of
the changes, he may be able to
do so without running counter to
law; but there may have to be
an omnibus reorganization act
enacted by Congress.
Senator Harry Flood Byrd CD
Of Virginia, who instituted the Vir-
ginia plan Of reorganization which
was mentioned by the President
declined to comment on the White
House statement. Senator Byrd Is
scanning reports from Brookings
Institution collected from the Gov
ernment departments by question
naires.
Although the Virginian refused
to comment, it is known that
when he started the move towards
reorganization with the introduc-
tion of his resolution in the Sen
ate he had in mind primarily the
cutting down Of government per-
sonnel in an effort to balance the
budget.
The Virginia plan regrouped all
the State offices and cut expendi-
lures until the budget was bal
anced without raising taxes. Sen
ator Ryrd's idea in the Federal
Government is along the same
lines.
He has said there are a number
Of bureaus which overlap and du-
plicate the work Of others and
should be eliminated. He has
urged that the emergency organi-
cations be dropped as soon as it
can be done and not regrouped
under a Cabinet officer, thereby
making them permanent.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA. - The Division of Territories and Island Possessions describes Alaska as a land of opportunity for members of the fair sex, who, perchance, might be looking for mere hus- bands.
 Dr. Ernest Henry Gruening, Di- rector of the Division of the In- terior Department, who made a trip to Alaska during the summer extending over several weeks, cov- ering the Territory mostly by planes, in a report on the ratio of white men to white women, said:
 There still are two and one half times as many white men as women in the Territory of Alaska.
 This figure is nothing as com pared to conditions at the turn of the century when thousands of men joined the gold rush and invaded the Territory when the ratio was nine to one. @sfs
