REORGANIZATION
IN NEXT SESSION
Pledges Hardest Fight of
Entire Service to Pass
Program.
OPPONENTS REALIZE
MISTAKE, HE STATES
Predicts Plan of Roosevelt Will
Be Made Law Early in Next
Meeting of Congress.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.


The Presidents reorganization pro-
gram will be pushed vigorously in the
next session Of Congress by Repre-
sentative Cochran, Democrat, Of
Missouri, chairman of the special
House Reorganization Committee. he
announced yesterday before his de-
parture for st. Louis to campaign for
reelection. The President let it be
known Tuesday that he would make
reorganization one of his principal
must" measures in the coming
session.
Whether this legislation will be split
into four bills in the House, as during
the session recently closed, or will be
included in one omnibus bill as IN
the Senate, remains to be determined.
Emphasizing that the present pro-
gram of reorganization is an en-
largement and development of efforts
made periodically for more than 30
years. Representative Cochran said:
Il am coming back to make the hard
est fight of my entire service at the
Capitol to put through the reorganiza-
ton legislation. 1t was the biggest
calamity of the last session-the de-
feat of this measure.
1T is what people in the Federal
service and people generally through
out the country have been wanting for
many years. Some of those who OPP
posed it and helped to defeat this
progressive legislation are among those
who have been urging it for years. I
believe that they now recognize what
serious mistake they have made.
feel sure that they will vote to pass
the bill, or bills, after they return.
They will have chance to see how
intensely the people all over the coun-
try are for reorganization, and their
own campaigns will be over
Already they regret having op-
posed such meritorious legislation, and
having delayed the establishment of
a real merit system in government
that will cut down on duplicated and
overlapping service, and afford the
Chief Executive the sort of admins
trative workshop and tools and Or
ganization he needs.
Il predict that the reorganization
program will be law relatively early
in the next session.
