REORGANIZATION Plan

Within the framework of the new
organic act for the District proposed
by the Griffenhagen recommended
tions 1t is possible to see an admin
istrative machine which will be even
further removed than at present
from the control of citizens Of Wash
ington. The same framework, how
ever, could accommodate local gov
ernment manned by local taxpayers
and citizens and quickly responsive
to local sentiment In setting up this
general plan, in other words, the en-
gineers Of municipal government
have left the specifications to Con-
gress. And the acceptability Of the
general recommendation by the
community will, therefore, await the
specifications.
The recommendations are based on
ten general assumptions and these
are sound. Boiled down, they set
forth the responsibility OF the United
States Government to provide for
maintenance OF the District of Co.
lumbia as fitting Capital City In
which all of the people have an in
terest; that it is the duty and re-
sponsibility of Congress to provide
the type of local administration best
designed to bring this about; that
the affairs of local governmental ad-
ministration should not involve the
"ponderous machinery" of the Fed
eral Government and that in so far as
Congress may under the Constitution
delegate its powers of legislation,
they should be delegated to and ad-
ministered by an authority possessing
full powers of local government, sub
3ect only to limitations imposed in
the new organic act; that the legis-
iative and administrative functions
of the local government should be
clearly separated and that where the
paramount interest to be served is
the Nations, the function involved
should be assigned to a Federal
agency.
In discussing the machinery to be
established under these basic as
sumptions, the engineers concern
themselves chiefly with pattern for
government of the District that would
relieve Congress of trivial detail and
presumably work with greater eff
cheney. But establishing an efficient
governmental machine is one thing,
and providing for participation in its
functioning by those who are gov
erned is another thing. Local citi-
Zens will be concerned with the denial
of control which would follow the
proposed abolition of citizen boards,
such as the Board of Education, and
with the practicability of the substi-
tutes which are generally outlined.
They would hardly be content with
a reorganization of local government
which would leave them deprived of
the semblance of local participation
they now possess.
The recommendations, with the
chapters which it is understood are to
follow, should be printed as rapidly
as possible and given wide distribu-
ton among local organizations of
citizens in preparation for the hear
ings before a subcommittee of the
House District Committee. The op-
portunity has been presented for
thorough study of District govern
ment reorganization plans, with the
possibility of legislation capable of
accomplishing much benefit to the
nic&riaf

ro <ba Edifor ~ The Stor.

Permit me to congratulate The Star on
the excellent editorial concerning our
interest in the European situation which
appeared today. If the United States Is
to sit by and watch the Fascist nations
bluff or browbeat other democracies then
we had better start arming In hurry.
can't say that agree with many Of
the Presidents policies, but do agree
with lending economic and armament aid
to France and England. believe that If
we don't do this we will have to fight
the Fascist powers alone and I believe
they could whip us-if they got Eng
land, France and few minor democra-
cies out Of the way.
