woman also was sought.

BY WILL KENNEDY.

BY WILL +. kENNEDY.
The fight in Congress over reor-
ganization of the Government struc-
ture started in the Senate today with
Chairman Byrd of the Special Sem
ate Reorganization Committe oppos-
ing the bill sponsored by his colleague,
Senator Glass, Democrat. of Virginia.
to continue the functions Of the Re-
construction Finance Corp.
Senator Byrd argued that to extend
this and other emergency agencies
created by Congress for two and a
half years would seriously interfere
with an effective reorganization OF
the machinery Of government.
Byrd expressed conviction that
these agencies should be continued
only to July /. 1898, at which time
Congress could extend them further
II the necessity arose.
This FIRST clash over reorga MIA tion
came simultaneously with an an
nouncement by Majority Leader Rob-
inson that he proposed to cooperate
with the House in organization of the
new special joint committee on Or
ganizstion through which the Presi-
dents proposals for reorganization
would be sent.
House Gives Authority.
The House hate yesterday had au-
thorized the Speaker to appoint the
House members for such committee
with inquisitorial powers.
The divergence between the Presi-
dent and Byrd on reorganization
seems to be that the administration
frankly admits it expects to achieve
little money saving through its rec
concentrations, while the Senator in
sists that at least s3000O0,0O0 an
nually can be promptly saved in the
costs Of Government.
Mr.. Roosevelt's program calls prin-
cipally for reorganization in the in
terests Of efficiency, while Byrd feels
economy should be a main issue at
this time.
Byrd. in speech on the floor today,
emphasized that the Brookings Insti-
tuition, employed jointly by the Presi-
dents committee and the Senate and
House committees, has made specific
recommendations affecting the emer-
gency agencies. and that these recon.
mendations should at least receive
consideration from Congress before
July /, 1889.
The Senator pointed out that the
resolution under consideration not
only would extend the loaning author
ity OF the Reconstruction Finance
Corp. but also would extend the life
Of other emergency agencies such as
the Commodity Credit Corp, which
does not expire until April /; the Ex-
port Import Bank, which does not ex-
pire until June Is; the r. F. C. Mort
gage Corp, which does not expire until
June 30. and the Electric Home and

aryl.

Hasen and Allen Reappointed
As District Commissioners
ROOseueIt's Action Ends
Speculation on
Retirement.

President Roosevelt today nomi-
mated Melvin c. Hazen and George
E. Allen for reappointment as Dis
trict Commissioners.
The nominations were sent to the
Senate early and we're to be referred
to the District Committee. This ends
speculation as to possible retirement
of one or more of the Commissioners.
1t is known that the President has
been much pleased with the admin
istration of Washington's affairs by
the present Commissioners. The re-
appointments, therefore, were no sur
prise to those in touch with the sit
uation.
Hazen is president of the Board of
Commissioners. Prior to his appoint
ment to the board he had served for
many years as District surveyor.
Allen. before assuming the District
Building post. had been in the hotel
management business here.
Allen had told newspaper men at
the Capitol, near the end Of the last
session, that he planned to resign
as Commissioner about the middle
of November" That is, he meant
after the national elections.
The statement, however. was not
final or conclusive and Allen after
ward said he would know more def
nitely later on.
Hazen and Allen have served as
head of the District government since
November IA, 1888. They succeeded
DR.. Luther H. Reichelderfer and Maj.
Gen. Herbert B. Crosby.
Their first commissions were given
as recess appointments, since Con-
gress was not in session at the time.
They were reappointed for the full
term on January Is. 1884. when the
appointments we're approved by the
Senate.

ROME, January 15.-British ad-
herence to European anti-commu-
nism bloc was reported today in in
formed Fascist circles as the Italo-
German price for strict non-interven-
ton in the Spanish civil war.
Should Great Britain decline the
invitation which Premier Mussolini
and German Air Minister Wilhelm
Goering are reported drafting, Fas-
cists said the temptation for Ger
many and Italy to support the Span
ish insurgents openly would be great.
If Britain joins Italy and Germany
in the front against communism,
however, these sources said, there need
be no further obstacles to strict neu-
trality in Spain.
In the meantime, it was reported.
no answer to the last British demand
for non-intervention could be ex-
pected until II Duce and Fuehrer
Adolph Hitler's first minister have
fully determined the joint Italo-G
man procedure.
France Also Included.
A similar invitation. it was said,
would be extended to France. While
full French participation was con-
sidered doubtful, less adamant French
support of the Spanish government
would be an important phase of the
agreement.
Fascist sources regarded the French
position in the ultimate four-power
anti-communism bloc with q mental
question mark.
A storm of opposition was foreseen
from the French Popular Front, and,
even under the best of conditions,
1t was felt France would be greatly
embarrassed to find a solution which
would not conflict with her alliance
with Russia.
Nevertheless, it was felt in Rome
should the alignment be completed
France could be persuaded to lesser
her interest in the popular front ir
Spain.

nounced Il" mo ego). who was second
in the pole vault at Berlin when
Meadows of u. S. c. was the victor.
Oe's record is IA feet 4 inches and
he is a consistent performer. Slight
OF stature, he typifies the japanese
gymnastic athlete and holds the Japa-
nese pole-vault record.
Another great athlete who may ap-
pear in the indoor games is M. Lsnzi
Of Italy, whose record for 800 meters
is 1903.
Lanzi finished second TO Woodruff
IN the Berlin meet. although he did
not approach the European record.
Stanley Wooderson of England, who
defeated Jack Lovelock. the New
Zealander, three times at Lovelock's
favorite distance mile-is another
who may visit these shores.
Wooderson may come to the indoor
games. but it is more likely that he
will make his American debut at
either the Penn relays in April or at
the Princeton meet in June.
Wooderson. unfortunately. broke a
small foot bone after defeating Love-
lock and was consequently far of
his best form at Berlin.
English critics pronounce him Eng
lands greatest mile product OF all
