Roosevelt viii Ask More Poper =.
Taking The Program Step by Step
Biz Problems Undecided
Thank you please.

WASHINGTON.-Instead of laying down
blueprint of government reorganization for con-
gressional approval, President Roosevelt is more
likely to ask for a delegation of power which
will enable him TO effect reorganization by
step-by-step method through executive orders
Roosevelt has made no decision about that
as vet He has made decisions as to few if
any of the major problems OF his next admin
istration-and that covers the vast crop OF post
election rumorS as to shakeup in the cabinet
and the big administrative agencies
The president is still tired from campaign
exertions and prefers to get a good rest before
applying his mind intensively to the future.
He has called individual members OF his
administration for suggestions to supplement
the reports of various committees working on
reorganization-the Senate committee under
Senator Byrd of Virginia, the House committee
under Congressman Jack Cochran OF st. Louis,
and the Louis Brownlow committee working in
cooperation with the Brookings Institution.
Imperial Valley press., 1936-11-25

Two reasons are influencing him toward those
various reports and suggestions and pulling from
his desk plan of his own:
First, all previous experience indicates that
submission of a comprehensive general reor-
ganization plan would mean bowling dog fight
right in Congress as the federal machine charg-
ed on Capitol Hill to lobby at crosS-purposes
for preservation of jobs and bureaucratic power.
Any such program probably would have
plenty of mistakes in the first place and by
the time Congress got through chewing on it,
close presidential advisers believe it probably
would be horrible mess
Making one fight at time presumably would
allow more careful planning and give Roosevelt
a better chance Of getting what he wanted.
Second, the president is concerned with the
desirability of improving administration from
the personnel standpoint He may seek in some
cases to build big combinations of federal
functions around certain top-notch administra-
tors of special gifts rather than to create posts
of great Importance and then start whiStling
for men of sufficient caliber to operate them
He can work better along this line through
the step-by-step method.

 Trip from South

VANCOUVER, B. C., Sept. g. Fear is felt for the safety of Hans Mirow, pioneer Alaska aviator, and Miss Eileen Stangroom, daughter of the cashier of the Miners and Merchants Bank of Nome, Alaska They have been unreported since they hopped off from here on Sep tember 2, for Prince George enroute to Nome.
 Provincial police authorities are now conducting a search for the missing plane.
 Mirow, who operates the Mirow Flying Service out of Nome, left Seattle with Miss Strangroom on September 9 His plane had been undergoing repairs in Seattle.
 He landed at Sea Island airport to check through the Canadian Customs authorities. Later on the same day he headed north. When he failed to arrive at Nome, offic- ials there requested the British Columbia police to check with points along the northern air route which lies along the Rocky Mountain trench.
 The plane should have reached Prince George within three hours from the takeoff from the Sea Is land airport. From there Mirow intended to fly to Nome, stopping at Telegraph Creek, B. C., and Fairbanks. The plane should have arrived at Nome last Saturday. It is feared it may have been forced down somewhere in the mountains between here and Prince George, possibly having lost it's way and run out of gasoline.

 Makes Forecast

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-The pos sibility of vast healthy Arctic region, peopled with missions of white persons living in comfort, is pictured by pr. Victor E. Levine, of Omaha, Nebraska, who said he has examined more than 5000 Eskimos on three trips to the Arctic and found them almost free of high blood pressure and overweight.
 Levine said only few old Eski- mos were found to have high blood pressure and one woman in the thousands of Eskimos he observed were overweight.
 Levine added that Alaska can support a population of between ten and twenty million.
 Levine is professor of Biological, Chemistry and Nutrition at Creigh- ton University. He expects to make another trip to the Arctic next June.
