After training at Pamplona

in it's present form. Italy believes
that guarantees Of security for her

Germany with a veritable military

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2 = Auto
caster) - One of the first items to
which the Senate will give attention
when it meets again in January is
the Presidents plan for COM
plete reorganization of the admin
istrative machinery of the Federal
government
This bill, if passed, will go long
way toward simplifying the task of
the Executive. 1t embodies reforms
which every President in recent
years has urged upon Congress.
But it contains so many other pro-
visions, especially comforting per-
manent added authority upon the
President, that there is good deal
of doubt whether it will be adopted.
The reorganization plan, as it
stands, would give the President
authority to shift and consolidate
the hundreds of bureaus, admin
istrations,' commissions and indie
pendent offices of the Government,
putting them, with few exceptions,
into the various cabinet depart
ments, consolidating their financial
