in order that this great memo
rial may be administered as a
part of the similar work of the
Park Service.
r. E. A. Transferred
To Agriculture.
Included in the plan is a pro-
vision to transfer to the Depart
ment Of Agriculture the Rural
Identification Administration,
now operated as an independent
establishment. The work of this
administration in its educational
as well as its lending functions
is clearly part of the rural life
activities Of the country, and
should, therefore, be admins
tered in coordination with the
other agricultural activities Of
the Government.
National Emergency Council
Would Be Abolished.
The Inland Waterways Corp.
is transferred to the Department
of Commerce from the War De-
partment. This corporation,
which operates inland waterways
transportation facilities, should
be co-ordinated with the admin
istration of other aids to COM
merce and industry.
I propose to transfer to the
Federal Security Agency, for ad-
miniStration in the ONCE Of Ed
ucation, the Aim and radio func-
tions of the National Emergency
Council. These are clearly q
part Of the educational activities
OF the Government and should

units unless LNe QeIlnlCc power OF
appointment, fixing of compen-
sation, transfer and promotion or
dismissal of personnel is vested
in the principal responsible head.
In no other way can the purpose
of consolidating similar functions
under a single head as required
by the act be accomplished in
practice.
It is one of the five purposes
of the Reorganization Act ito
reduce expenditures to the fullest
extent consistent with the eff
cient operation of the Govern
ment.' This is an important pur-
pose in each phase Of the plan
here presented. The Reorganiza-
ton Act prohibits abolishing
functions-in other words, basic
services or activities performed.
Therefore, the reduction in ex-
penditures must necessarily be
brought about chiefly in the
overhead administrative ex-
penses Of the agencies affected.
In q great many cases the econo-
mics to be effected by Reorgani-
zation Plan No. II will be the re-
suit of improved efficiency which
will, as the plan works out, re-
quire fewer persons to perform
the work or will require the en-
ployment of less temporary as
sistance.
In the case Of the consolidation
OF the foreign services, it is es-
timated that the administration
by 4 single administrative unit in
the Department of State will
achieve = saving Of 5000 a year
and that consolidation of the
three fleld forces will make it
possible to drop alien employees

The Mats took a breathing spell
today before going into the final
few games of the season, which
ends next Sunday with the Griffs
on the road. And in the mean
time what baseball talk was being
made around town had to do. chief
ly, with Jimmy Bloodworth's con-
version into an outfielder.
AS the Mats went down to a
3-to-2 defeat before the world cham
pion New York Yankees yesterday
at Griffith Stadium, Bloodworth did
nothing to disturb that 1902 batting
average he is packing for his first
year in the big show. But Jimmy
wasn't at his usual post at second
base. He played right field.
"And I think I'll keep him there
for the rest of the season." was
how Manager Bucky Harris put it.
Il won't say I'm seriously expert
menting with Bloodworth In the
outfield, but if he can play there
I'd like to know it."
Two reasons cause Harris to think
this way. In the first place he needs
outfielders badly, particularly right
handed-hitting outf1elders. Second
ly, he has hopes of Rookie Morris
Aderholt making the grade at Sec
ond base. Either Aderholt or Eddie
Leip.

The game was one that thrilled

least of the tingling moments was
when Dahlgren engineered a triple

Conn Looks Past
bettina Tonight
To Louis Bout
Sure Of K. O., 175-Lb.
Champ Spurns Return
Bout, but May Rue 1t
BY GAYLE TALBOT,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 25.-In eau
tious days like these, when the
average champion demands about
everything except a Federal pen
sion and the lemonade concession
for risking his crown, the attitude
of this towns Billy Conn is re-
freshing.
Billy is making the first defense
of his light-heavyweight title here
tonight against swarthy Melio Bet
tina, the Beacon, N. Y, scrapper
from whom he won it only a few
months ago, and Billy doesn't even
have the promise of return bout
in case he losesi
He didn't want one, he told
Promoter Miguel Jacobs, who en-
ploys q full-time house" lawyer
for the sole purpose of writing
water-tight contracts in which
champions get all the best of it.
"When Do Fight Louis?"
What do want with one of
those return things?" he asked
the f1abbergasted Jacobs. If I
can't knock out that mug this time
I don't want him doing me any
favors. All want to know is when
I fight Joe Louis. I'll fight him
and his brother at the same time
for the so grand Pastor got"
If the reader should infer that
Billy Is cocky. that would be smart
reading between the lines. Taking
them pound for pound, Billy pos
slbly Is the chestiest champ since
John L. Sullivan, and if John l.. ever
had pegged spittoon at Conn he
would have had a fight on his
hands.
Though he won from Bettina only
by a close decision the last time. the
Pittsburgh Terror won't talk any,
thing but knockout tonight. Johnny
Ray, his manager, is betting Bettina
doesn't go the IS. So are a lot of the
home town fans. Billy is so amaz-
ingly popular that there will be
close to 100000 worth of customers
w "otCu uAIA go al fOrOeS f1elQ.
Bronson To Aid Melio.
From all indications, Bettina has
trained well and is confident. The
southpaw still has a sitter punch
than Conn, even though Billy boasts
that he has put on two good, solid
pounds" since they last fought.
Also, Bettina will have Jimmy Bron-
son in his corner tonight, and that
might prove important.
Melio, If he will pardon the liberty,
is not recognized as one of the
smarter fighters. In his other bout
with Conn he at times badly needed
some one to tell him what to do
next. He never did quite puzzle out
where certain left jab was coming
from, though he appeared to sus-
pect the referee. With Bronson
there to help him out, I somehow
expect Melio to give Conn his Jumps
tonight.
Beasons two bands were not able
to come here and toot for their hero
this time, but 80 of the towns lead
ing citizens were on their way in a
pair of huge chartered airplanes.
Beacon is very proud of its fighter,
too.

Wi|emoski Hot After
Sampson Old Job
On 6. ". Eleven
Richardson Disoppoints;
KoshIop and Ghecos
Step for Hilltop
BY LEWIS ATCHISON.

While his coaching contemporaries
began tuning up for inaugurals, Bill
Reinhart, major domo of George
Washington's football forces, today
began wedding out his backfield can
didates, with particular regard for
the tailback position, where he seeks
a successor to Vic Sampson, who so
ably handled the role last season.
The Colonials' debut still is two
weeks away, but since the success or
failure of the campaign hinges on
this all-important position, Rein
hart feels he cannot afford to delay
filling the position.
Billy Richardson, underslung
heavyweight from Central High, was
slated for the berth when practice
began, and Reinhart believed the
sturdy, hard-hitting senior would
handle the assignment creditably.
Best passer on the team, a glutton
for punishment, and even a $3.50
kicker, Richardson was reckoned q
fair triple threaten around whom
Reinhart could weave potent at
tack. But week of practice has left
the coach disillusioned. Richardson
is far below par in passing, and ap-
parently doomed to another season
Of relief work.
Still another outstanding candi-
date who has fallen short OF ex-
pectations is Walt Fedora, the De-
catur Express, fast, shiftly runner,
who appeared to have the necessary
qualifications. Fedora doesn't kick
and is only fair passer, but Rein
hart felt that his ball-carrying
might Offset these liabilities. Walt
displayed a nifty pair of heels to the
opposition in scrimmage, but his de-
fensive work was nothing less than
miserable and Reinhart plainly is
disappointed in him.
Wilamoski Wins Favor.
At this writing Eddie Wilamoski,
the ambling Ambridge, Pa, young
ster, apparently has the inside track
on Simpsons old position. Villa
mosh can back up line, and while
he isn't as fast as Fedora nor as
powerful as Richardson, should be a
valuable man. Reinhart has hopes
he may develop into q fair passer,
but is willing to go along on his
ball totin' and defensive play If

9TH in Row With 7
Yet to Be Played
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

The thermal status of the Ma
tional League pennant race has
passed from the boiling to the ex-
ploding point, and when the Gin.
cinnati Reds and st. Louis Cardi-
mails collide tomorrow at Cincinnati
something is going to blow.
The thermometer gives q little
different reading now than at the
first of the month, however, be-
cause the heat" is on the chal-
lengers as the two teams rush
into their 4-game series.
A few weeks ago Cincinnati's
critics said the Reds would have to
buckle down to stave off st. Louis.
They did-winning 16 of their last
20 games and seven straight up to
and including yesterdays 11-2
triumph over Pittsburgh.
Cards Win, but Recede.
AS result the Cardinals, winning
13 of Is games and likewise their
last seven in row, including a 81
cruSher against the Chicago Cubs
Sunday, actually have dropped a
half game further in the last two
weeks.
They must grab each of their
remaining games-four with Gin
cinnati and three with Chicago-to
win the pennant by a half game,
should the Reds resume their rout
of the Pirates.
This is how they stand today:
s'nS,snst, 81 pss,. = = i behind n" '':,. J:
'one game with New York Cancelled.
Cincinnatis triumph yesterday was
the fifth in three days against Pitts
burgh and Paul Derringer's twenty
fourth of the season. He spaced
seven hits while his teammates made
good use of II passes issued by four
pitchers.
Max Lanier, the Cardinals likely
looking left-handed rookie, allowed
only four hits, and his mates got l6
in completing sweep of the Chicago
series.
Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Dodgers
dragged down their second double
header in two days from the Phillies,
81 and 5-3, to move past the Cubs
into third place. The New York
Giants and Boston Bees split two
games, New York taking the first,
5-4. and dropping the nightcap, So.
The world champion Yankees,
eager to pass the mark of 1O7 VIC
tories set by Joe McCarthy's first
New York pennant winner in 1892,
chalked up No. 104 at the expense Of
the Washington Senators, 80.
Tigers Overhaul Indians.
The Detroit Tigers toppled the
Cleveland Indians out of third place
in the American League with a pair
OF victories, 2-l and 9-1. Hank
Greenberg and Rudy York hit sue
cessive homers in the sixth to win
the first for Tommy Bridges, and
the Bengals clustered 13 hits in five
innings of the second game
The Chicago White Sox took an
other double helping of the St. Louis
Browns, 11-9 and 4-3, and the Boston
Red Sox scored five runs in the
eighth to beat the Philadelphia Ath-
letics, 9-4.
