Government ReOrg anization Plan
Fails to Merge Similar Agencies
presidential Plan Will Perpetuate All Agencies
Created in Last Ten Ye ars; Taxpayer Will Save
Iittle From Proposed Consolidation Move.
BY WILLIAM BRUCKART
National Pres Bldg, Washington. DC.

Z than that. Close examination d
plan No. seems, therefore, tt
amount to a bodily transfer of each
of these setups, taking with them
all of their faults as well as al
Of their good qualities. At the same
time. It IS possible that such q
grouping will accomplish something
! not visible on its surface. When
several agencies, now operating in
their own spheres, are brought un-
der one general head, there is q
chance that some of the overlap
ping Of work will be eliminated
mentioned at the outset the diff
ficulty of discovering these con-
flicts. If they are brought together
therefore, someone surely will find
them and eliminate them. If that
is done, as it should be, there is
just a twinkling light of a possible
saving to the taxpayer. One should
always remember, however, that
few government agencies once Gre
ated have ever been abandoned.
The jobholders are the best lobby
lists in the world. 4
Which brings us to the one def
mite objection that have heard
about the Presidents plan No.
that objection is that nowhere
in it is there any effort made 70
reduce the scope of government.
Or, to express the same thought in
an affirmative manner: Plan No. I
will perpetuate without exception
every agency created in the last 10
years under the guise Of emergency
legislation, relief for the destitute
and business reform.
That is the one factor to which
criticism ought to be applied.
There IS no doubt in my mind at all
that the Presidents advisors. in
drafting the consolidation plan,
or the President himself, lodged
responsibility. I suppose it may
have been too much to expect, yet
it does seem a better job could have
been done in that direction. Why,
for example, was the reorganiza-
ton Of this phase Of government
activities worked out with nothing
to show in the way Of abolition Of
some of these numerous agencies2
It appears to me that If the eight
or ten separate units that have
been brought into the federal Sc
curity agency were so closely re-
lated then some of those units
could have been disbanded and
such functions as necessary could
have been lodged in the jurisdiction
of the remaining bureaus. The
same observation applies to the fed
eral works agency and the federal
loan agency.

Federal Relief System
Remains Sore Spot

1SOIubIHS SO(c SQOS
I believe the creation of federal
works agency will accomplish a
great deal of good but 1t does not
solve one Of the fostering sores, now
and long since showing on the body
polite. refer to the federal relief
system. While there will probably
be no more of the fighting over
the backyard fence like tomcats, as
did Secretary Ickes and Harry Hop
kins, the plan No. does nothing to
wipe out the pernicious political
racketeering that Hopkins permit
ted as head of WPA. Nor does It
keep government money from be-
ing literally forced down the Threats
of towns for building public power
plants or for other uses, only. to
create debt upon the shoulders of
those taxpayers, as Harold Ickes
did.
There Is nothing In the program
either that will eliminate the use of
federal funds, either through PWA
or WPA, in spreading the effect Of
federal policies into state govern
ments. have written before of how
federal officials actually govern
states or counties or municipalities
by laying down rules which must be
met before the money has been
handed over.
It is certain, therefore, that as far
as public works is concerned and as
far as public relief from the feder-
al treasury is concerned, Mr.. Roose-
welt has accomplished almost moth
ing at all-except to make the
heads of the two units report 20
one administrator who, in turn, will
report to the President. This
makes it appear, moreover, that
real need exists for passage Of the
bill drafted by Senator Byrnes,
South Carolina Democrat and one
time staunch New Dealer that
would place relief back in the hands
Of the states.
Concerning a federal loan agency,
however, there ought to be praise.
That IS, there can be better admin
istration, better coordination of
policy, If the President selects
sound man to serve as its head.

Observed in these columns, our fed

e,isation Of the government given

fu persons were able, even after

: ,ints and all Of the bad points. so
e,mplex is plan No. 1. I believe,
wever. after talking with many
,thorities, it should be said that
t-.sre are both good and bad points
and nobody ought to be so silly as
to deny the statement.
The Presidents executive order
has established three new major
units Of government. They are the
federal security agency, the federal
works agency and the federal loan
agency. Into these three groups
II IS proposed to bring some 20
boards, bureaus and commissions,
some great, some llnimportant, but
most Of which, in the last few years,
have been dangling at loose ends.
Nearly all Of them have been re-
spmsible directly to the President,
or to the President and congress.
Many Of them worked at cross pur-
poses; many overlapped, and there
Was the attendant jealousy, con-
flicts Of authority, foolish resent
ment at each others attempts to
function. e
It was evident that Mr.. Roosevelt
hoped the corralling Of these NAV
erick agencies would add to the eff
ficiency Of the machinery. That
must be accepted as the fact be-
cause he told congress there would
be q saving Of only about $50, 000,-
900 annually. The anemic taxpay-
e., therefore, gets nothing out OF
the picture. ~

despair.

Bethlehem again there is joy in our hearts for
the beauty that scars triumphant over ugli-

toward the frail and helpless; for the spiritual
strength of mothers denying themselves the
beloved nearness of their children, to protect
them from the frightfulness of war. Joy for the
unconquerable spirit that still knows the need
for gentleness.
It was this need that led mothers to adjust
gas masks to tiny shoulders, to speed the
exodus of their children from the crowded
centers to the open country, away from the
arms of mothers to foster mothers. From
known love to unknown love they passed -
from danger to safety.

ways, banishing the sadness of young hearts;

remains. While they prevail there can be
laughter still and Christmas joy and good

Heels Expect
Deacons Will
Aerials

Chapel Hill, Sept 27.-The Ger
mans call it blitzl1rieg. The Poles
shorten this down to a four-letter
word starting with CHI.
Carolina calls it an aerial attack
and is getting plenty of it ready
for Wake Forest. But the big ques-
ton which has everybody guessing.
and which is heightening interest in
Saturdays big game here, is-How
| much blitzkrieg will Polanski ard
Co. hurl back at Carolina?
Interest mounted higher and
higher today. Ticket sales doomed
and indications were that a near
capacity crowd will turn out Sat
urday to see the answer.
Meanwhile Coach Ray Wolf and
the Tar Heels took no chances to-
clay and thoroughly overhaulad
both their aerial attack and de-
! lenses.
! George Stirnweiss and Sweet La
/ lame, who gave a preview Of Caro-
! lina's aerial circus against Citadel
! taking to the air for marker
apiece, did the the pitching, and
Paul SEVERN, Jim Mallory, Frank
; Doty, George Radman, Mike Bob :
! bitt and others stood out on the
'eceiving end.
The Tar Heel backs, ends and
centers are devoting just as much
attention to setting a defense for the
aerial barrage which Carolina ex-
poets from Polanski, Duncavage,
and others, but which Wake Forest
| has kept under strict cover in it's
carly games.
The Deacons tried only six passes

However, Polanski, who combines
amazing speed with his 1876 pounds
OF power, and Joe Duncavage are
expected to have given the ,Dea-
cons new aerial strength this :all,
and Cardinals doesn't want to be
caught mapping.
The Tar Heels aerial defenses
were none too impressive last week,
! and the Citadel completed as many
passes-one more to be ',Xact-as
Cardinals star pitchers, Stirny and
Sweet.
If Wake Forests carefully con-
cealed aerial attack pans out, the
Deacons may be we'll nigh i'm
possible to stop. With coterie of
big fast ball carriers like Mayberry,
Polanski, Gallovich, Ringgold, and
Edwards, Wake Forest has one of
the hardest running attacks in
| Dixie.
Carolina will match the Baptist
Express with such speedy, elusive
runners as Stirnweiss, La1anne.

open battle of long runs and passes,
