SON TAKES over
ROUTINE DUTIES
FOR ROOSEVELT.
Chief to Have Time
For Big Crises
By EARL GOODWIN

The old emergency which made
the New Deal famous is dead
and a new one may be on its way.
For that reason President Roose-
welt is reported to have handed
the emergency or alphabetical
organizations over to Son James
in order to have more time to
think, plan and act with any
financial or international crises
which may intrude.
President Roosevelt has been
chatting under the details Of an
administrative job which he de-
scribed in his communications to
Congress in support Of the Louis
Brownlow plan for a rebuilt Fed
eral setup in Washington.
CHECKS ON OFFICES
Too many independent agencies
reporting direct to the President
give the President little time for
planning. He has urged Con-
greSs to revise the organization
chart so that all agencies report
to the chief through existing Cabi-
net officers, plus one or two new
departments such as a new vel.
fare department.
President Roosevelt is noted
for his careful check on the work
Of all departments and agencies
of government; a majority Of his
callers are there reporting on the
actual administration Of their
share of the Government.
POLICIES ESTABLISHED
But much Of the emergency
agency work has now turned into
mere routine, from the Presidents
viewpoint. Some of the lending
agencies, for instance, lend no
more and are engaged in collect
ing only; other agencies have set
their course and there seems to
be no need for careful watching
by the President. Policies are
established, the personnel trained
the Presidents son takes over.
President Roosevelt is reported
to believe that he needs to be in
the clear for some Of the big
things ahead. Immediate consid-
Grafton is given to his hard five
point program which he gave Con-
greSS and the nation in his recent
fireSide chat via radio.
Others in his confidence believe
he sees need for long interrupted
hours Of thought on the perplex-
ing international situation. Others
know that there Is an internal dis
sent in the Administration over
farm and financial matters-either
of which may need much time for
deep study. Hence the President
gets rid Of an enormous amount OF
detail by giving the emergency
organization worries to his son
and secretary.
MINIMTZES IMPORTANCE
The President today said the ap-
pointment Of his son to receive
reports from various agencies was
not very important.
He said it was a news story that
should have been on the fifth
page under small heading. He
said the agencies involved had re.
quested that someone be appointed
to whom they could report regu-
larly at the White House. He spe-
officially denied James would be

venture IN producing moving pictures
came under the scrutiny yesterday O.
the Senate Committee on Government
Reorganization.
Agents set out to discover Just how
much it has cost the agency to make
such films as THE plow That Broke

dust bowl which won praise from
many movie critics
They said they also would investi-
gate Resettlement's most recent pro-
duction, still incomplete pictoriali-
Eation of floods and soil erosion, which
probably would be called "OI Man
River"
The committee, headed by Senator
Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia, is ex-
pected to question Resettlement off,
cials about their movie enterprise at
hearings within the next two weeks
Some Resettlement officials said
they would welcome the inquiry, be-
cause they regard the films as one OF
their most successful and least ex-
pensive experiments.
They described THE Plow That
Broke the Plains" as notable artis-
tic and popular achievement" pro-
duced on a shoestring by two or
three cameramen. Not a penny, they
noted, was spent for stars, stage sets
or makeup.
