WI ANSPNNV W eHS NaN@ v ~
partmentS.
There are 10 departments now
The ByrneS reorganization bill
adds one more-the Department
of Welfare. The Brownlow COM
mittee, in discussing administra-
tive management, recommended
two new departments, the second
to be a Department of Public
Works. In addition, it urged
that the Department of the In
terror be changed to a Depart
ment of Conservation. That would
have permitted a single and logi-
cal division of functions:
/. All engineering and public
works functions would have gone
naturally into the Department OF
Public Works.
2. The Department of the In
terror, becoming the new Depart
ment of Conservation, would keep
the national parks, take over the
Forest Service and perhaps the
Biological Survey (much Of whose
work is in the parks) from the
Department Of Agriculture, and
possibly the Bureau of Fisheries
from Commerce, and thus bring
the Governments activities as re-
lated to its natural resources into
a closer administrative relation
ship.
8. Welfare and relief functions
would gravitate naturally--aS they
will under the Byrnes bill-to the
new Welfare Department.
INTERIOR UNSETTLED
But the plan now is dead. In
terror will continue under that
name. But its character and future
will be left hopelessly unsettled
until President Roosevelt decides
what he wants to do with it-as
he may under the broad powers
conferred on him.
Then there is the problem Of
throwing all great power and
public works projects into a COM
mon administrative pool. If that
is to be done, iva could appro-
priately be put under the Interior
Department along with Boulder
Dam, the Grand Coulee, the Rec
lamation Bureau and the Alas
kan Railroad, making the Interior
Department primarily a public
works and engineering depart
ment.
And what is to be done with
the three big housing agencies
FILA, FHLBB, Hole and USHA2
At a guess, based on White
House echoes, studies made by
the Brownlow committee and
others, something like this is
likely to happen when the big
shift comes as President Roose-
welt signs an executive order put
ting it into effect:
TREASURY MAY SWELL
Fiscal agencies like the RFC, the
housing triplets, FDIC, the Ex-
port-Import Bank and possibly the
FCA, will be dumped into the
Treasury.
Land-use agencies will be left
with Agriculture.
Public works and land develop
ment will go to Interior.
But who will get the CCC? And
the Veterans Administration? Will
the Panama Canal Administration
be covered into the War Depart
ment? Will the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission be
made a little brother of the Ma
tional Parks Service, in Interior?
Will Archives be hooked up to
State or Interior. or left independ-
ent2
Will there be a closer tieup be-
tween Narcotics, the Coast Guard
and Customs, in the Treasury?
Will Treasury's Procurement Di-
vision (including the office of the
supervising architect) be shifted
to Interior, for closer tieup with
public works?
Neither in the reports of presi-
Dental advisers nor in the ByrneS
bill are there explicit answers to
these questions vitality affecting
the future of many Federal agen-
cieS. There is only one general
answer: cts up to F. D. RI"
