MERGER BILL VOTE
HAILED BY HOOVER
Former President Terms
Action Americas Most
'Heartening News
BY The Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, April e.-For-
mer President Herbert Hoover, Just
home from Europe. today hailed as
Americas most "heartening news" the
shelving of the administration re-
organization bill. which opponents
charged would give President Roose-
welt virtual dictatorial powers.
Addressing homecoming mass
meeting last night on "Challenge to
Liberty, 1888 Mr. Hoover departed
from his prepared text to comment
on the bill, which the House of Repre-
sentatives voted to return to COM
mittee. The move usually means death
Of mea sure.
mo more heartening news ever
came to the American people than
when the House of Representatives
regardless of party, voted down the
reorganization bill" said Mr.. Hoover
long vigorous critic of the admin
istration and planned economy"
The former President, accorded an
ovation by crowd of 1000 which
overflowed Municipal Opera House
said Representatives who voted
down the meause ought to receive
from us vote OF gratitude"
He dropped no hint of any political
plans.
Declaring Americas first task is tC
restore genuine self n-respecting Jobs
to the 100000 he said were unem-
ployed, Mr. Hoover said New DeaI
planned economy itself was max
ing the one-third ill-fed and i'll
clothed
1t is nonsense to say that either
big or little business is on strike" he
said. 1t is not so. Business is vearn-
ing to sell automobiles and new suits
OF clothes. 1t is the people who are
scared
Big business or little business is not
scared to take on men if anybody will
give them an order for goods
We should apply one test to the
whole gamut of Government action
Does this action stifle initiative and en-
terprlSe? Does it cost men their jobs?
l am well aware of the Importance of
reforms. l am still more aware of the
misery of 100000 unemployed. And
l am we'll aware of the dangers to the
very institutions of democracy from
an economic machine dislocated IN this
fashion"

tate protracted debate and delay in
passage OF the bill
The tariff equalization schedule was
submitted yesterday afternoon by Sen

BY the time the Idahoan has com

ment in behalf of his plan, rejected
earlier by the Finance Committee

Leader Barkley urged rejection of the
amendment on the grounds the con-
templated plan should be embodied
in a separate bill and come to the

the House.
Similar strategy was effective earlier
in the day in bringing a rejection Of
an amendment offered by Senator
Lodge, Republican, of Massachusetts
to reduce the social security taxes
levied for old-age benefits. The Lodge
plan would call for a maximum total
pay roll tax, shared equally by en-
ployes, Of 5 per cent with this rate

mounting old-age reserve fund
The only actual reverse suffered
by the committee yesterday was in

Service Commission and General Ac-
counting Once, as set up under the
act Of 1921.
Just before the modified bill was
ready for the final vote there was
tackled onto 1t as a further amend
ment a separate bill that would pave
the way for restoring to members of
Congress the opportunity they for
merly had to recommend postmaster
appointees from the three highest on
the examlna ton list This practice
was terminated by President Roose-
welt a year ago, when. bv executive
order, he provided for appointment of
the top man on the eligible list.
Observers at the Capitol believed
this amendment would gain support
Tor the flnal passage of the bill, and
1t was the only amendment adopted
in committee of the whole on which a
separate vote was demanded in the
House. 1t was again retained in the
bill by viva vote vote.
Bankhead Hits Propaganda.
Majority Leader Rayburn reminded
ms colleagues that Mr. Roosevelt will
continue to be President of the United
States for two years and eight months
and l am wondering in this time of
recesslon-when men and women are
disturbed-if we by anything that
would approach vote of lack of con-
f1dence in the President would add to
the doubt and disturb the average
American"
Speaker Bankhead said propaganda
and some distortion as to what is in
the bill had been injected into the
issue. Boiled down, he said. the bill
merely would give to the President the
power to do what the head of any
business institution would have done
long ago"
Just before the vote on recommittal

ter amendment. announcing that the

DEFINITE CHANGES
PROVIDED IN BILL
Sidetracking Reorganization
Saved Civil Service
Commission.

Three definite changes in the Gov
eminent setup that would have re-
suited from enactment Of the reorgan-
i5ation bill appear definitely side
tracked, at least until next year. They
are:
l. Abolition of the Civil Service
Commission, to be replaced by single
administrator and a seven-member ad-
visory board
2. Abolition or complete revision of
the functioning of the General AC-
counting Office.
3. Consolidation of possibly a score
Of existing bureaus dealing with health.
sanitation and relief into new de-
partment Of welfare
Specific Provisions
While the BILL either in House or
Senate form, would have given the
President general authority to regroup
or abolish other executive bureaus and
boards, the three changes listed above
were specifically provided for in the
legislation
Sldetracking Of the omnibus Senate
bill also carried back to committee the
proposal, which met virtually no oppo-
sition in either house. to give the
President six administrative assist
ants. A separate bill dealing with
this feature alone passed the House
last summer and is still pending in
the Senate.
From the beginning of the present
session in January until it was recon-
mitted to House Committee last
night. the reorganization program un-
derwent many changes in detail as it
moved along its stormy course through
both houses. If the House had passed
the measure these numerous changes
would have been the subject of DAYS
OF consultation in conference, and
again subjected to verbal battle when
the conference agreement went back
to the House and Senate for ratifica-
ton.
Unfinished Business.
Assuming it will not be brought up
again during the remaining six or
eight weeks of this session. the entire
subject again becomes a piece of un-
finished business for the new Congress

as an amendment to House bill prob
ably paved the way for the sidetrack-
