White House. group and the other
committees.
But all three of the committees
are now expected to draw entirely
different recommendations from
the same statement of facts as
set forth by the Institution.
1t is difficult enough to get
congressional action on any sin
gle reorganization proposal. That
is because of the different views
of the individual members who
don't want to see their particular
pet bureaus dropped or absorbed
by another. But it is concededly
impossible to get action on any
one reorganization plan if three
separate ones are to be submitted
at the same time.
Forces and counter-forceS will
be at work from the moment the
first hint of any one of the reports
is available. They will be at
work not only in congressional lob
bieS, but all over the country,
where anyone threatened with a
loss of his job or a drop in pres
tige will be on the alert to enlist
supporters.

FACES DELAY
BY FRANKLIN G. SARTWELL

By FRANKLIN G. SARTWELL
With three committees pursuing
elusive plans for recognizing the
Federal Governments complicated
administrative structure, belief
gained ground today that a solu
tion Of this long-debated problem
will not be even family approached
by the Congress which convenes
tomorrow.
Conflicting views on the pur
poses of reorganization proposals
have already developed before
even the fact-finding surveys upon
which any plan would be based
have been made available.
And the heavy political bonn
bardment to which any reorganiza
ton proposal will be subjected
when it is placed before the prac
tical politicians in the Senate and
House and the equally practical
politicians in Government depart.
ments and agencies hasn't even
started yet.
Serious Differences
Serious differences of opinion
have developed between President
Roosevelt, who has a special com
mission studying reorganization
and Senator Harry Flood Byrd, OF
Virginia, who heads a Senate com
mittee working on reorganization
The President holds that moi
much economy can be effected
through any reorganization but
that the primary purpose should
be greater efficiency. The Vir
ginia Senator, on the other hand
believes that a considerable con
tribution to a balanced budget
can be made through sensible
reorganization plan.
Representative James P. Blu
chanan, of Texas. chairman o1
the House committee studying re
organization, while not commit
ting himself on the different
views of the President and the
Senator, is said to feel that very
little reorganization is possible
with either economy or efficiency
as the objective.
The three committees are os
tensibly working in the greatest
harmony in pursuing the early
reorganization studies.
Pet of Senator Byrd
Nevertheless the Senate group
never lets an opportunity slip by
to call attention to the fact thai
it was the first in the reorgani
zation field.
Reorganization has been a pei
of Senator Byrd ever since HI
did a very successful lperatior
on the government of Virgins
when Governor of that State. He
really started the reorganization
movement last year and set tht
Senate to work.
Within a few days Of Byrd's
activity, however, the White House
stepped into the picture, naming
its own independent committee
and the House did the same thing.
All three committees then put
the Brookings Institution to work
making a functional study of gov.
ernmental agencies with the ap
parent purpose of using this as a
groundwork for a united report
The report is about completed

CONN MYSTERY
INVESTIGATED

Further laboratory tests, to re-
veal the immediate nature of the
brain injury which resulted in the
strange death yesterday of Whit
man P. Conn, widely-known Wash
ington newspaperman, will be
made, Coroner A. Magruder Mac
Donald, announced today after
taking over the case when Conns
personal physicians refused to is,
sue the death certificate.
Homicide Squad Detective Clyde
N. Strange is also making an in
Vestigation into how the 36-year-
old editor received the fatal brain
injury.
Conn, who died early yesterday
In Garfield Hospital, was for more
than two years editor of the Con-
structor. official magazine of the
Associated General Contractors
of America, a national trade as
Sociation, with local offices in the
MunSey Building.
One theory of how the editor
received the fatal hurt is that he
struck his head on an open filing
cabinet when he stopped to pick
up a piece of paper from the floor,
while another version is that he
was accidently hit on the head
while shadow boxing with friends.
What baffled the brain special
lists who examined the editor was
that he did not complain of a
head injury until nearly a month
after it was received. He i'm
mediately visited his personal
physician, DR.. J. B. Glenn, who
ordered hi INTO the hospital.
Conn is survived by his widow,
Mrs. Catherine Conn, of 513l Sec

Art connoisseurs the world over
focused their attention on Wash
ington today as an eager Capital
lent its enthusiastic appreciation to
the proposal of Andrew Mellon,
former Treasury Secretary, to
found here a national art gallery
which would rival any of the art
Shrines of Europe.
Nucleus of the gallery, under the
Mellon proposal, would be the
Pittsburgh millionaires priceless
collection of paintings and sculp-
ture. Valued at from $4,000, 900 to
$100,000.000 the Mellon art gems
are scattered through number of
private vaults and galleries.
Madonna Priceless
The Madonna of the House of
Alba" by Raphael, is regarded as
the most valuable of the lot.
Mellon is said to have purchased
it from the Soviet Government for
$780, 400.
Two of the more popular master
pieces are Portrait of Edward vi
as a Boy" by Holbein, valued at
$437,000 and Portrait of a Girl
(Savaza Garcia) by Goya, said to
be worth $150,000.
Heads Metropolitan
Besides the Russian purchase
and the acquisition of the famous
Dreyfuss collection of sculptures,
Duncan Phillips said, there is still
another treasure of Italian art
which has not yet been announced
He added:
''Never before has there been
museum begun with such :.
tremendous nucleus and once it
is begun, there is no telling how
far it will go.
"The Mellon collection is
much greater than any of us
know, and even as it stands, 1
think it OutStrips the MetrOpOI-
itan Museum of New York."
Collection Praised
The Mellon collection will estab.
liSh the National Capital for the
first time as one of the great art
centers of the world, in the opin.

art Of American University. He
said:

lection and the level of the whole
group is very high. One of the

SESSION MUST
EQUAL JOB OF
PAST YEARS
Most New Deal Laws
Due to Be Reenacted
or Extended
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
International News Service


International News Service
Destined to re-enact virtually
every phase of the New Deal the
Seventy-fifth Congress today faced
a tremendous legislative program
as its members assembled here for
the opening tomorrow.
The new Congress must dupli-
cate within one ycar a legislative
program that required the two pre-
ceding Congresses four years to
enact, or permit hundreds OF the
Governments emergency activities
to lapse. This situation developed
because both the Seventy-third and
the Seventy-fourth C ngress S
passed scores of emergency meas
ures that expire within the next
seven months, or else enacted bills
so hastily they now must be- modl-
fled.
Wide Field Covered
A survey disclosed the following
legislative outlook:
l. Neutrality: Administration
leaders will seek immediate
enactment of legislation to pre-
vent sale of American war sup
plies to either side in the pres
ent Spanish revolt. Later a
permanent neutrality law will
be considered and passed if pos
sible, or the present emergency
act extended another year.
2. Taxes: Congress must re-
enact 500 million dollars special
temporary taxes that expire
this year or lose that much rev"
enue. It also must order reten-
tion of the Scent postage on
out-of-town mail or lose from
rs million dollars to 100 million
dollars revenue. 1t probably
will pass, too, on notifications
In the new Federal tax on un-
distributed earnings OF corpora"
tions.
Relief Requirements
8. Relief: It must reappro-
pirate for Federal relief and re-
enact the expiring public works
act or such activities will cease.
4. Agriculture: It must reap
propriate for farm benefits under
the soil conservation program
or farm relief will stop. Incl
dentally, the soil conservation
Sa,.v,;oa hn evfnnHnH
or it will die by midyear. So,
too, the Federal Farm Mort
gage Corporation and Federal
Surplus Commodity Corporation
must be extended or allowed to
die. A farm tenancy act also
will be considered.
S. Foreign Affairs: Congress
will have to extend the Presi-
dents power to negotiate re-
ciprocal trade treaties or aban-
don such pacts in the future.
The Senate will be asked to
ratify the recently negotiated
All-America peace treaty and
probably be asked to approve a
new st. Lawrence waterway
treaty.
Sterilization Fund
6. Money: The Governments
authority to use a 1000 million
dollar fund for monetary Stabl-
lization must be extended
promptly or that power will die
January 80. The Reconstruc-
tion Finance Corporation, the
Home Owners Loan Corpora
tion, and the savings and loan
division of the Home Loan Bank
Board must be extended or
their activities will die. Even
if Congress should refuse to eX-
tend such activities, it must
appoint some agency to liqui-
date their affairs.
In the background threatening
further legislation are the special
Senate and House committees
studying reorganization of the en-
tire Federal structure. Other cur
rent inquiries, such as tn
Wheeler railroad and the La Fol
lette civil liberty Investigations,
may lead to further legislation.

School to be Kent Omen.

The Minnesota State Board of
Health last Monday sent a repre-
sentative TO investigate the scarlet
fever situation in Askov. This man
stated in unmistakable language: 1.-The
State Board of Health recommends
that all schools be kept open during
an epidemic of this nature because
only through the school is it possible
to make a thorough daily check-up
of the children in the community"
Based upon the experience of hand
ling hundreds of epidemics of this
character during the past years, the
opinion of the State Board of Health
that schools be not closed is unani-
nous.
On April %. at a special meeting
OF the board of education of Independ-
ent School District No. II, the
recommendation of the State Board
Of Health were accepted in full.
As a result, the following rules will
go into effect at once for the Askov
public schools:
1. The school will not be closed,
but will continue to operate as usual
until the end of the school year, June
18th.
2. A daily examination of every
pupil in school will be given at the
schoolhouse by the local doctor.
3. No child absent from school for
three days in row, Or longer, will
be permitted to re-enter school or
travel in school bus until he has
received a doctors permit. In other
words, if for any reason your child
remains out of school for three DAYS
or longer, it will be necessary for you
to take him into town in a private
car or let him walk. He must then
20 to the office of DR.. A. l.. Arends
where check-up will be made at
the expense of Independent School
District No. II, and if the doctor says
that your child is 0. K, he will issue
permit to re-enter school, which per-
NIT your child must then present to his
hOme-rOom teacher at school. Under
no circumstances will a child be per-
mitted on the school grounds or in
q school bus after three days absence
unless such permit has been granted
by the doctor. This ruling becomes
effective at once, so that any pupil alb
sent from school on Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday of this week will
be required to get doctors permit.
Please help us handle this some
what difficult situation by observing
the above rules cheerfully and scru-
pulously.
NOTE-If any child becomes ill, be
sure to report at once to the local
health officer. Remember: You ex-
pect this of other parents, and they
likewise expect it of you.
