The launch chugged up under the
stern of the Oakmar and stopped.
Sailors on deck threw down lines and
those below deck threw lines out
through the portfolios. Four COM

crew on deck. AS the lines dropped
to the launch. police lieutenant on

to the sailors:

Nobody needed the command and
the men on the launch tied the lines
from both the deck and the portfolios
to the bags of food. One policeman.

deck away from the line there and
began to pull it in. The men below
also pulled and the bag arose to the
level of the portfolio. Here the men
below stopped pulling up and began to

BILL IS SUBMITTED
President Seeks Blanket
Authority to Revamp All
Executive Agencies.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

Blanket authority for the President
to reorganize the agencies of the Gov
ernment is embodied in an administra-
ton measure that went before the
Congressional Joint Committee on
Reorganization today.
The bill is substitute for an earlier
measure, drafted in connection with
the Brownlow reorganization report.
and withdrawn yesterday.
1t provides that the general audit
ing Office shall be Independent of the
executive branch, and shall be an agent
Of Congress.
1t also throws safeguards around the
decisions OF such quasi-legislative and
quasi-judicial agencies as the Inter-
state Commerce Commission.
II Congress should be dissatisfied
with the reorganization it would have
to pass an act, which the President
could veto, and then it would require
q two-thirds vote in Congress to
override the veto.
The bill proposes to abolish the
Civil Service Commission and to put
in charge Of Government personnel an
administrator, who must pass a
civil service examination given by
a board of seven members, not
necessarily bipartisan, to be ap-
pointed by the President. This ad-
ministrator could not for five years
prior to his appointment have been a
nIYhlic official nor heep or, roliticol
committee. His job would be to de-
velop a career service in the Gov
ernment.
It would take away from the Sem

flrmation on appointments by the
Executive.

POLICE CONTINUE
BAN ON PARKING
Enforce "SnoW-RemovaI"
Regulation Despite Judges
Attitude.

Despite Traffic Judge Isaac r. Hits
action in holding the new snow
removal" parking ban unnecessary
until enough snow falls to warrant
its provisions, Police Chief Ernest
w. Brown announced today his Off
GERS would continue to enforc- the
new regulation until court declares
it null and void. or until it expires,
March Is.
The number of tickets handed out
has doubled since Judge Hit an
nounced Monday he would take the
personal bonds of motorists until
there is enough snow to justify the
restriction.
The Commissioners new regulation,
banning parking from am to 8
m on downtown streets and out
lying thoroughfares, went into effect
10 days ago.
Accepts Personal Bonds.
Meanwhile, Judge Hit said he will
continue to accept the personal bonds
of motorists brought in under the
regulation until he feels the ban is
| justified by snowfall, making the
necessity for its removal a necessity
The situation created by Judge
Hits attitude toward the regulation
may be altered Monday when Judge
John P. Mcmahon assumes the bench
in Traffic Court for his month of duty
there. Judge Mcmahon declined to
comment on the question until it is
brought before him in court.
Judge Hit has been taking on ar
average of six personal bonds daily
since he expressed himself on the new
| parking ban. The judge said he
doubted if the law would be upheld
should motorist appeal to a highe,
court
Maj. Brown reported violations OF
! the regulation have been doubled ir
the last few days He added he was
unable to determine if the viola
tions were due to belief on the part
of motorists that they would "get
off" because of the courts attitude
Total Not Estimated.
There was no way of estimating
how many motorists have tossed away
their parking tickets, inasmuch as po-
licemen have from three days to two
weeks to obtain warrants under the
| tickets
The warrant clerk at Police Court
today said there was no increase as
yet in applications for warrants fol-
night parking on the streets in ques-
ton.
The first "snow removal parking
ban was questioned by the Court OF
Appeals on the ground that it called
for enforcement in case of emergency
and there was no emergency" An
other regulation was des -ibed by
Judge Edward NJ Curran in Police
Court as mot reasonable" since il
set no date when the ban would be
lifted.
A third regulation was drawn up
with proviso that it expire March
Is. In the opinion of Judge Hit,
the ban already has expired unless
enough snow falls in Washington to
justify its provisions.
