AS for the western front activity,
enemy planes penetrated German

Establishment of a huge clearing
house system, designed to guard the
Western Hemisphere against severe
exchange fluctuations and to pro-
mote trade, will be considered by the
ter-American Economic Commit
tee, now in session here.
DR.. Eduardo Salazar, Ecuadorean
delegate, said he would ask the
committee to act on the resolution
his country laid before the recent
conference at Panama.
This resolution called for "an
inter American organization for
banking cooperation, destined to
procude the development and equili-
brium of foreign commerce among
the nations of the continent and to
constitute the mechanism for lessen-
ing of and compensation for brusque
fluctuations in such commerce"
DR.. Salazar said that just as the
Federal Reserve System of the
United States facilitates and regu-
lates the flow of currency in this
country, the proposed inter-Ameri-
can financial institution would
regulate the movement of gold funds
Of each country resulting from
American interchange, thus prevent
ing internal difficulties in matters
of credit and currency, provoking
confidence in economic activity and
giving stable basis for investments
of capital"
Capital for the bank would be
raised among the central banks and
treasures Of the American republics.
The committee, composed of rep
resentatives of the American repub-
hes. was created by the conference
at Panama and was charged with
considering ways of lessening the
economic shock of the European war
on the countries of this hemisphere.
Its deliberations are expected to ey-

US. Reorganization
Is Hailed by Three
Key Officials
Substantial Economies
And Greater Efficiency
Predicted
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Three key men in President
Roosevelt's reorganization program
expressed confidence yesterday that
the reshufaing of Federal agencies
already had pointed the way to SUBJ
stantial economies and greater eff
cheney.
All three-Paul v. McNutt. Sc
curity administrator; Jesse H. Jones,
loan administrator, and John M.
Carmody, works administrator
said they were proceeding with re-
organization plans a step at a time
In order not to disrupt the organi-
cations which were grouped under
them by the Presidents order of
last July.
For that reason, they said, details
OF reorganization would be worked
out gradually without spectacular
changes.
Accomplishments Cited.
Although this policy has meant
that there has been little change in
the administrative face of the Gov
ernment since Mr.. Roosevelt set up
the three new agencies last sum-
mer, these officials and those con-
nected with the White House staff
cited certain accomplishments which
they said had resulted in better
management:
l. Work of agencies performing
similar functions has been corre-
lated so that some duplication of
effort has been eliminated and a
freer exchange of information has
been made possible.
2. Channels between the President
and bureau heads have been syste-
matized through the re-grouping Of
the agencies and reorganization Of
the White House staff.
3. Some unnecessary personnel
has been eliminated and more will
follow.
4. Representatives in the field are
being brought together in fewer
offices, although most of this work
remains to be done.
5. A reduction in the number Of
agencies with which the public must
deal and cutting of some of the red
tape which has caused delays in the
past.
Some Difficulties Met.
On the other hand, reorganizatio ton
has led to some difficulties. The
custer of Maj. Gen. T. @. Ashburn,
head of the Inland Waterways, de-
veloped partly as result in clash Of
policies when the agency was trans
ferred from the War Department
to the Commerce Department.
There have been other squabbles,
but heads of the three major agen-
cies indicated that friction had been
reduced in most cases as result Of
! transfers. officials said that some
rough spots will probably be ironed
out next year when President
Roosevelt is expected to submit to
Congress new reorganization orders
involving inta- affairs.

lArmy-Novy Game
Seating Problem
By the Associated Press

When President Roosevelt goes to
the Army-Navy football game at
Philadelphia December 2, on which
side of the field will he sit?
All kinds of complications and
precedents are involved. for ne Is
the Commander in Chief of both
armed services.
Because of his keen interest in
naval affairs and his World War
service as Assistant Secretary Of
the Navy, the Army suspects him
at times of sentimental partisanship.
Diplomatic precedence, however.
would put him on the Cadets side
of the stands. since the Secretary
of War outranks the naval Secretary.
One solution would be to change
seats at the half. Mr.. Roosevelt
has avoided the issue heretofore by
staying home from the game.
