SUGGESTS SWEEPING
FEDERAL CHANGES
By ARTHUR F. DeGREVE
United Press Staff Correspo udent

WASHINGTON, June Z. (UP)
The senate committee studying
government reorganization was
advised by the Bookings lnStitu-
ton last night to deny President
Roosevelt the additional power he
seeks over the federal trade COM
mission, the interstate commerce
commission and other regulatory
bodies.
The institution, which under
took a study of the government
at the request of a senate COM
mittec headed by Senator Harry
+. Byrd, d., Va, gave two rea-
sons why control over the policy
and administration Of federal reg
ulatory agencies should not be
given to the chief executive. They
are:
/. The Independent agencies are
i'm a real sense creators of law
rather than mere cnfOrCcrS. Thus
they perform the same functions
as congress would if it had time.
For this reason they should be re-
gardcd as agents Of the Legislative
branch of congress to which they
are responsible.
2. The president is subject to
almost no judicial control. Mel
Their writS of injunction nor man
damus will lie against him as they
will against actions of the indie
pendent regulatory authorities.
The president cannot be made re-
sponSiblc financially for his exec
utivc acts whereas independent
agencies are subjected to strict
court control.
Byrd made portions Of the IN
Stitution'S report public without
comment. In addition to its stand
on executive control over indie
pendent agencies. the institution
proposed 10 other sweeping re-
forms:
|. Reorganization of the fed
cral trade commission to eliminate
confusion of powers and strength
en- its functioning.
2. Transfer of certain unfair
trade practice functions from the
agriculture department to the fed
cral trade commission.
3. Transfer control over com
modify exchanges from the agri-
culture department and the com
modify exchange commission to
the federal trade commission.
4. Transfer justice department
power over monopolies and re-
straint of trade under the anti
trust act to the federal trade COM
mission, except trial of criminal
cases.
5. Transfer the bureau of air
commerce regulatory functions to
the interstate commerce commits
sion.
6. Abolish the federal alcohol
administration and continue alco-
hol control in the treasury de-
partment, at an estimated saving
of up to $250,000.

LEWIS in FAVOR OF

WASHINGTON, June :. (UP)
Congress today was faced with
about as much work To do in the
next three and one-half weeks as
il actually has accomplished in the
last six months.
In addition to the gathering
storm over supreme court and @N-
ecutive department reorganization
and fights developing on other
pending items of President RoOSe-
vclt'S program, the nationa! leglS-
laturc is under urgent pressure to
complete action on six appropria-
ton bills and a measure extend
ing nuisance taxes TO meet a July

The appropriations are ncccS-
sary to keep government depart
mcntS operating during the 1888
fiscal year which begins July
and TO continue relief of uncm-
ployment. On the same date NUS
ance taxes which it is estimated
will yield the government $500
100000 in revenue for 1898 VIII
pirc unless extension icglSla-
ton is approved.
Virtually all of this legislation
however, is at stage sufficiently
advanced to promise speedy ac-
