"The whole thing seems to have
been a victory for subordinates, one
administration supporter declared.
Resentment was voiced in high
official quarters over the cry Of die
tatorship which arose during con-
sideration of the bill. They reiterated
there was absolutely no foundation for
the raising of dictatorship issue.
, The effect Of the congressional ac-
ton, the administration feels, will be
to hold the Government back under
the brake Of antiquated governmental
machinery in lieu of modern business
organization.
One off1cial pointed out that the
bears of Yellowstone Park will remain
under three departments of the Gov
ernment, that the Territory of Alaska
will continue under the divided juris-
diction of q number Of executive
branches of the Government and
that other conflicts in jurisdiction

served.

White House attributes Bills
Defeat to Lobbyists Actiuity

While there was no comment from
President Roosevelt today regarding
the failure of his reorganization meas
ure, it was said in high quarters At
the White House that the administrs-
ton regards the defeat of the bill As
a victory for lobbyists and propa-
gansists in and out Of the Government
service.
Friends of the President regarded
the action of Congress as no more Of q
slap at Mr.. Roosevelt than at his
predecessors in the White House who
have met similar defeats in their ef-
forts to improve the efficiency Of the
governmental machinery.
In administration circles it was in
sisted that the more responsible Fed
eral officials wanted reorganization,
but that q strong movement against
it was stirred up by lesser ofiicials,
who, moved by a spirit of elf-preser-
vation, fought desperately to prevent
their own elimination.
It was pointed out also that many
of the kilograms which deluged Con-
gress in opposition to the bill resulted
from an appeal over the radio by the
Rev. Charles Z. Coughlin, Detroit
radio priest. in the face Of approval
Of the bill BY superior church on.

In Germany, he is used as a
