DR.. BEARD IS COOL
TO AGENCY SHIFTS
Historian, While Not 0p-
posed to Reorganization,
Doubts Effectiveness.

DR.. Charles A. Beard, noted his
torian and close observer of public
administration trends. said in an in
terview last night he agrees in gen.
eral with President Roosevelt's govern
mental reorganization recommenda-
tions, but questions whether anything
is to be gained by the proposed over
hauling Of the separate agencies.
Emphasizing that he Is not opposed
to the Presidents plan. DR.. Beard
said he questioned whether any
greater efficiency or economy would
result from the consolidation pro-
posals. which would affect the nu-
merous boards. commissions, admin
istrations, authorities and agencies
now part Of the executive branch.
These Federal agencies would be
placed under departmental heads un-
der the Presidents plan.
Questions Education Move.
DR.. Beard said that, for example,
the Office of Education should not De
placed under Department Of Social
Welfare. as proposed in the Presidents
recommendations to Congress. He be-
lieves the Interior Department would
be the logical place.
But I'm merely raising few ques-
tions," he explained. IF I had my
choice between getting all these things
done or discarding the whole plan. I'd
want to see the plan 60 through. And
I believe Congress will pass it."
Dr. Beard spoke last night at con-
ference held by the Washington Chap
ter of the Society for the Advance
ment Of Management in collaboration
with the Committee on Public Admin
istration Of the Social Research Coun-
Gil The conference, held at the
Raleigh Hotel, was attended by more
than q hundred manufacturing and
merchandising executives. industrial
engineers, Investigators and others.
Regulation Study Urged.
He emphasized the need for more
study Of the place of public corpora
tions and regulatory agencies in the
sphere of administrative Set-up, the
relation to the administrative depart
ments to the legislative and the place
of the legislative investigation in ad-
ministrative control He said the time
seems ripe for establishment OF an
institute of public administration.
DR.. Beard was introduced by John
NJ. Carmody, who yesterday was con-
flrmed as administrator of the Rural
Electrification Administration. Other
speakers at the conference were James
z. Scott, chief of the operations divi-
sion Of the Forest Service; Col George
