SPRING TIME.

From way down in the South
Came the birds with open mouths
On our window stills they hop and
sing,
In the early, early spring.
They sing to us in the early morn,
Even before the break of dawn,
In tree top they build their nest,
There they stop and rest.
They lay their eggs so very small,
And the little birds are drawn ur
little ball,
And when they learn to fly,
They take for the big blue sky.

sential Federal aid, is restored
There will never be a recession ir
these enormous expenditures" he
added, until the responsibility of de-
cision and administration is returned
to State authority and reasonable
State contribution is required"
In submitting his request, Mr.
Roosevelt adhered to a previously out
lined program despite demands by
Senators and Representatives from siS
Western States that he increase his
estimates at least 5000 100000.
Appeals Anew to Industry.
He called anew upon private in
dustry to take all possible workers
from relief rolls and said that some
employers, by increasing the work
week, were hindering the return of un-
employed to private jobs.
Every action of an employer along
these lines obviously tends toward
the stepping up of production with
out an equivalent stepping up of en-
ployment," ne said in letter trans
mitting his appropriation request to
Speaker Bankhead of the House.
On the other hand, he gave Co
operating" private employers credit
for helping bring about a net re-
duction of more than 100000 since
last March in the number Of workers
on Federal relief.
2.580,000 Job Need Seen.
Mr.. Roosevelt informed Congress
that IAN exhaustive review" had re-
vealed it would be necessary for the
Government to provide employment
this Winter for at least 2,580.000 per-
sons.
This did not include the number to
be employed by the Civilian Conserva-
ton Corps. which on December II had
$4,000 men. The President later will
request about 00,000.0oO for the C.

In an accounting of $6,100,000, 900

ROOSEVELT SEEKS
2MORE IN CABINET
Ef
Social Welfare and Public
Works Departments
Proposed.

President Roosevelt's reorganization
plan for the executive branch OF the
Government provides for two new
Cabinet officers. One is to be Secre-
tary of the Department OF Social We'll
fare. and the other. Secretary OF the
Department of Public Works.
Already gossip connects the names
Of John G. Winant, chairman of the
Social Security Board, and Harry L.
Hopkins, w. P. A. administrator, with
these two new proposed Cabinet jobs.
1t is expected that the Social Security
Board will be transferred to the De-
partment of Social Welfare and along
with it the Public Health Service, now
in the Treasury Department. and
possibly such relief agencies as the
President may have in mind outside
of work relief, which may be expected
to go into the Department of Public
Works.
.Winant is former Republican Gov
ernor of New Hampshire. Harry
Hopkins was Federal Relief adminis-
traitor and then Works Progress ad-
ministrator. Hopkins may be made
Secretary of Public Works. The Pub
lie Works Administration is now under
Secretary Ickes of the Interior De-
partment Such part of the p w. A.
as may be retained doubtless will go
into the new Department of Public
Works. Secretary Ickes may remain
in the cabinet as Secretary of the De-
partment Of Conservation-the pro-
posed new name of the Interior De-
partment-or, If the President de-
sired. he might be appointed to head
the new Public Works Department.
In that event, it would be necessary to
appoint a new Secretary of the De-
partment Of Conservation.
In some quarters it has been sug-
gested that Miss Perkins. now Secre-
tary of Labor, might be transferred 70
head the Department Of Social We'll
fare. II that were the case, another
shifting of the cabinet would ensue.
The President has not indicated in
any way who the new cabinet officers
IRE to be.

trying to do is to put the kind Of
management into the great business
of administrative government that is
to be found in the best managed pri-
vate concerns. Under the terms of
the Constitution. the Federal Govern
ment has Just one manager-the
President of the United States.
The President included in his rec
concentrations improvement in the
pay Of the civil employees of the Gov
ernment, as well as their inclusion
in the so-called civil service. His
committee, in its report. said Govern
ment cannot be any better or more
efficient than the men and women
who work in it, Many of the people
vino now work for the Government
are leaving it to 90 into private en-
ployment where the pay is better,
because the Government does not
offer satisfactory career.
Top posts, the President maintains,
both in and out of the civil service.
are underpaid. There is no systematic
provision for transfer and advance
ment in the service. This is to be
corrected by making personnel ad-
ministration a part Of every depart
ment.
The President. by executive order,
placed some $4,000 postmasters under
the civil service. He wishes to nail
this reform down by having it made
law. And SO with some 25o,ooo other
Government positions, some of which
are now under merit principles
1t is the Presidents plan to pick
seven of the ablest men and women
in the country to serve on the Civil
Service Board. This board will be
the watch dog of the merit system" 4"
1t is his plan not to appoint to this
board, which will be paid only its
expenses, any political party commit
teeman, or any one who has run for
Office during five years before his or
her appointment.
Auditor General Proposed.
The President, in making his rec
ommendation for an Auditor General
in place of the present Controller
General and the General Accounting
ONCE, insists that the accountability
of the executive branch of the Gov
ernment to Congress has been con-
fused and ineffective because the
Controller General has sought to
control the spending policy Of the
departments. This he and his COM
rnittee regard as IAN llnconstitutiona
usurpation of power" For IS years
this has gone on, he says. with the
result that there has been failure
to give Congress an annual audit and
report on illegal transactions. From
a business point of view the system
has been impossible Under his
plan, a current audit of administrative
expenditures will be transferred to
the Treasury Department and the new
Auditor General will give to Congress
a post-audit.
