are bureaus having charge OF some
particular educational subject. Under
this bill, these bureaus could be trans
ferred to the Department of Welfare.
Effort to Distort Truth"
The Department of Welfare could
not do anything affecting education
other than what is now done under
existing laws. The law could not be
changed except by an act of Congress.
1t is evident that it is simply another
effort to distort the truth about this
measure.
Opponents assert that Congress
should rearrange agencies. For so
years Congress has failed to do it.
Instead Of reducing agencies, the Con-
gress has increased them, and, based
upon my study of the question for
years, I am confident that, If the
executive departments are not reor-
ganized until Congress does it, they
will never be reorganized.
This bill provides for the extern
sion Of the civil service to more than
200, 900 employees, who are not now
in the classified service. It provides
for the extension of the law classify
ing salaries to those employees who
work outside Of Washington so that
their compensation will be on the same
basis as the employees in Washington.
Justice demands that they be treated
alike.

FDR Attempting

Suggests Two Methods for House to Work on Side
 tracked Measure

WASHINGTON, May 2-Presl- dent Roosevelt expressed hope today that the House will hold a vote on the Wages and Hours Bill this sess- ion, despite refusal of the Rules Committee to give it priority.
 Chairman Norton, Democrat, of New Jersey, a member of the House Labor Committee, released a letter the President sent, suggesting the bill might reach the floor, either by petition or by reconsideration by the Rules Committee.
 President Roosevelt wrote, "In the case of the Wage and Hour Legis- lation, the majority party of the House is committed to such legisla- ton by it's National platform. I have no personal doubt that a large majority of the House membership believes the House as whole should pass its judgment on such legisla- tion."
 Observers said it is unlikely either of the Presidents suggestions will be approved.
