The bill extends the provisions Of
the civil service to all agencies Of
the Government not now under civil

emergency agencies. except such as
may be made permanent, unless pre-
viously covered in by presidential
order within year, and ca corpora

much authority in any one man, The

Mead said he was in constant con-

Service Commission during prepara-
ton Of the bill, Is well as with
the assistan. solicitor Of the Treasury
Department, the Legislative Drafting
Service, and the special investigator
for the House Reorganization Com

II believe we have ironed out all the
dificulties," Mead told the committee.
I'VE have met the objections Of the
Civil Service Commission and, while
they are not enthusiastic for some
Of the provisions, they may be said
to be reconciled to them. The Presi-
dent under this bill will not have as
much authority over Government
employees as he does now-or as any
President has had. The Presidents
authority has been carefully circum-
scribed."

advisability Of having brief hearings
