STATE BUDGET DIRECTOR TALKS
Benjamin P. Whitaker Un- able to Tell Much About
 Reorganization

Hartford, Conn, Dec. 9.-(UP).- State Budget Director Banjamin P. Whitaker emphasized today it was impossible at hte present time to determine whether the state govern ment has been operated more eco- nomically since it was reorgani2ed by the 1897 General Assembly.
 The first opportunity to obtain a fairly accurate estimate of sav- ings or losses under reorganization, he said, will come next June l, when the fiscal year is concluded.
 Then, he added, the budget au- thorized by the legislature can be compared with the amount of money actually expended by state depart ments, agencies and institutions.
 May Be Loss
 At the present time, he said, they may even be a loss to the state uta- der reorganization because of the expense involved in creating new departments, including his own bud- get division, the personnel, pur- chasing and public works divisions
 Whitaker explained the estimate of Gov. Wilbur l.. Cross of a $2,- 50O,OOO to $3,000,000 yearly saving to the state by reorganization was contingent upon approval by the legislature of the entire program drawn by the state reorganization commission.
 Many of the recommendations, Whitaker said, were not adopted. Among these was the proposal to reduce and consolidate about IF state departments and agencies into IS.
