Co lition of Republicans, Dissenting Democrats
 Buck Measure ADMINISTRATION NOW EXECUTING STRATEGY Leaders Get Sanction from President to Change
 Two Proposals

WASHINGTON, April 1-Admin- istration leaders are confident that their timely compromises have stayed off possible defeat, but they re- fuse to make further concessions to the House opponents on the fiercely fought Government Reor- ganization bill
 At the usual Sunday conference, the Administration leaders won the Presidents tacit approval of two amendments hastily advanced when a coalition of Republicans and dis senting Democrats appeared to be getting the upper hand.
 To Stand Pat
 Representative Sam Rayburn, Democratic floor leader, said as far as he knows, the Administration forces are expected to stand pat on two other controversial provis- ions, substitution of a single Civil Service Administrator and creation of an Auditor General.
 Time Gained
 In order to gain time, House lead- CTS deferred resumption of the de- bate until tomorrow.
 Leader Rayburn and other mem- bers of the Reorganization commit tee outlined to President Roosevelt two amendments, one to let Con- prpcc OvorriIa fba pracille,of,c raor ganization order by a concurrent resolution, which could be adopted by simple majority and not to require the Presidents signature The present form requires a two- thirds vote to kill the reorganization order.
 The second amendment would re- tain the Bureau of Education in the Interior Department instead of being transferred, as projected. to De- partment of Welfare. Some oppon- ents declared that the change would set up a system of control on edu- cation.
 No Opposition
 "The President expressed no op- position to the revisions,n Rayburn said.
 Opponents of the bill have also won new concession, Administra- ton leaders agreeing to an amend ment exempting the Veterans Ad- ministration from any merger. It was feared the Veterans Adminis- tration might be placed in the De- partment of Public Welfare.
