RooseveIt's Second
Reorganization
Plan Awaited
House Approval Is Seen
Assuring Victory
For First Order
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

Congress today looked forward to
early submission of the second
chapter of President Roosevelt's
reorganization program, following
House action late yesterday which
virtually made certain the carry
ing out in June Of his first plan
for regrouping many agencies into
three new major units Of govern
ment.
When the House decisively re-
jected, 264 to 128. the Taber reso-
luton to disapprove plan No. /, it
had the practical effect Of assuring
the establishment this summer Of
Federal Works Agency, a Fed
eral Security Agency and a Federal
Loan Agency, into which would be
brought most Of the alphabetical
groups created during the past six
years, together with several old
established bureaus.
The 232 Democrats who answered
the roll call stood solidly against the
Taber resolution and were Joined by
% Republicans and 4 of other party
designations.
Although the Senate has taken
no action on the pending plan, any
move to stop it in that branch
would be doomed to failure, and
there are no indications the sub
ject will be raised in that body. In
the first place, disapproval by both
branches of Congress is required
to reject an order, and, in the sec
ond place, House authorities say
this particular plan could not be
submitted to another vote in that
branch even If the Senate passed q
resolution Of disapproval.
One Of Five Orders.
This leaves only one slender pos
cibility Of plan No. l not being
carried out this year, namely, If
Congress should Unexpectedly ad-
journ before the last week of June,
when the 60-day period during
which the plan must remain before
Congress expires. The general be-
lief at the Capitol is Congress will
be in session until July.
Just before the House voted ap-
proval Of the first plan yesterday,
Representative Warren. Democrat,
of North Carloina, one of the authors
of the Reorganization Act, revealed
that this is only one of five orders
the President has in mind. He said
all of them would not necessarily be
submitted at this session, but pre-
dicted last night that two more
probably would be presented soon.
The expectation is that one will
deal with inter-departmental con-
Evening star., 1939-05-04

solidations, and the other with
mergers within departments. Latest
reports are that the next reorgan-
ization message may 60 to Congress
tomorrow or Monday.
House leaders and Democratic
members Of the Reorganization
Committee were elated last night
over their success in getting plan
No. through under the special set
of rules that were written into the
law to insure prompt action on q
resolution once 1t is introduced.
Four Hours Of Debate.
The vote came after four hours Of
debate, although the law allowed q
maximum of 10 hours. The Demo-
Gratis, confident of victory, let the
opponents do nearly all the talking.
When one or two Of the Repub-
lican speakers suggested the country
had not had time to study the scope
or effect of this regrouping, Repre-
sentative Warren reminded them
that supporters of the Presidents
plan were not responsible for the
issue being brought to a head so
promptly. He pointed out that,
since orders must remain In Con-
gress for 60 days, the opposition
could have let 40 or so days 60 by
before offering q resolution Of dis
approval. Once the resolution was
introduced by Representative Taber,
Republican, OF New York, Mr.. War
rem explained, the law required its
prompt consideration. These special
rules were placed in the law, he said
later, to assure the opponents OF
any order that they could obtain
a vote on a motion to reject it.
Although plan No. brings many
agencies together under fewer ad-
heads. it does not abol-
ish any of the functions OF these
agencies. The OMahoney clause III
the Reorganization Act specifically
provides that whenever the Presi-
dent abolishes a bureau, he must
first transfer its function elsewhere.
Evening star., 1939-05-04

The makeup Of the three new inde-
pendent agencies, comprising the
major part Of plan No. l, follows:
Federal Security Consist
ing Of the Social Security Board,
now independent; the United States
Employment Service, now in the
Labor Department; Bureau of Edu-
cation, now In Interior; Public
Health Service, now In Treasury;
National Youth Administration, now
under w. P. A., and the Civilian
Conservation Corps, now independ-

branch Of the Procurement Division,
now in Treasury; the branch of the
National Park Service that deals
with care Of public buildings, and
the United States Housing Author
ity, now under Interior. The Pres
ident explained in his order, how
ever, that because of differences
that justified their separation in the

past, p. w. A. and w. p. A. would
continue to be,separate subordinate
units for the time being, with the
name Of the latter changed from

Works Projects Administration.
Federal Loan Agency-Co Consisting
Of the Reconstruction Finance Corp,
the Electric Home and Farm Au-
thority, the Federal Home Loan

Administration. and the Export I'm

more direct supervision over agen-
cies that relate to general manage
ment Of Government.

 AN IRON BELT
Frontier Defense of SOvi- cts Will Soon Encompass
 the Entire Baltic
BY HENRY SHAPIRO

United Press Staff COrreSpOndent) Moscow, Oct. 11--(UP)-Russia is erecting an "iron belt" of defense throughout the Baltic which assures the security of its frontier and fur ther consohdates its defense, Pray da, official organ of the ruling Com munist party, asserted today in an editorial on Russia's treaties with Esthonia, Latvia and Lithunia.
 "The Soviet policy of peace and good neighborly relations and friendship with nations score one success after another" said Pravda. 'The Soviet Union removes the menace on the part of imperialist powers to weakly defended states bordering on it. Stable peace is be- ing created in easturn Europe. The peoples of our country will meet with tremendous satisfaction the conclusion of a new treaty consol- idating the power of the Soviet Un- ion and creating a new barrier against all imperialiSt intrigues.
 Welcome Wise Policy
 "The people of the Soviet Union welcome the wise policy of theil government. which has proved able to protect the inviolability an6 peace of the country by system ot treaties with neighboring states"
 The article was written on the oc. casion of a mutual aid" treaty witt Lithuania, Germany's next dool neighbor, which was expected to put Russia air force bases within few miles of East Prussia-a treat, which clinched Russia's new hold or the whole inner Baltic.

BY NORMAN B. DEUEL United Press Staff Correspondent

Limited Press Stair COrreSpOndent1
 Helsingfors, Finland, Oc- tober II. = UP) = Fin lands little navy massed off the southwest coast today, troops mounted machine guns in streets and on public buildings, and scores of thousands of non-combat- ants evacuated principal cities.
 A Finnish envoy arrived at Mos COW to receive Russian friendship" demands.
 It was realized that a fight by Finland, with 3,80o,0o0 people, against the Soviet Union with 160,- o00, 900 would be suicidal. But iead-s CTS, as they prepared to resist any threat to the nations independence, said they and their countrymen would rather die free men than live as Russia's slaves.
 The country held the first air raid alarm test of its history dur ing the night. Naval units mobilized at Abo, on the southwest coast, ready to take troop sand war ma terials to the Aaland Islands, 75 miles out at the juncture of the Cuffs of Bothnia and Finland.
 Trucks were mobilized for troops. Soldiers mounted machine guns on roof-tops. The post office and tele- graph buildings were heavily guard- ed. Anti-aircraft searchlight bat teries were installed.
 Women, Children. Flee
 Scores of thousands of women and children, ill and aged, fled into the country from the big cities - Helsingfors (293,000 people,, Tam mersfors (75,000), Viborg (74,000) and Abo (73,00O.
 It was estimated that 124,000 per- sons were being evacuated from HelsingforS alone.
 The government ordered the Stock Exchange to be closed until further notice in view of the na- tional emergency.

 Sharp Reply of Pittlnan
to Freight Credts-Pittman Shows Where Britain, France Were Paying Cash
BY RONALD G. VAN TINE Limited Press Staff Correspondent

Washington, Oct. 11-(UP)-The state department notified senate leaders today that prior to procla- nation of the embargo against Eu- ropean belligerents Great Britain and France were paying leash on the barrel head" for all arms pur- chased here.
 The statement was made by Jo- seph c. Green, secretary of the na- tional munitions control board at the request of chairman Key Pitt man, D., Nev, of the senate foreign relations committee. Administration officials considered it an answer to opponents of President Roosevelt's program who claimed that huge lon the-cuff" transactions would result from repeal of. the Arms Embargo.
 Through Green, the state depart ment told Pittman that before the president proclaimed a state of war existing in Europe, Great Britain had received approximately $27 7,000,- 900 worth of a $44,800,000 order for arms, ammunition and implements of war, and that France had re- ceived approximately $40 300, 900 of a $104 500 900 order.
 'It may be stated categorically," Green said, that every contract which the British and French gov- ernments have made with American companies for the purchase of arms, ammunition and implements of war l. ! ! fz.. ..4s s.l k,s advance of delivery and full pay ment on delivery"
 Pittman, angered by the argument of Sen. John A. Danaher, R., Conn.,, that the proposed neutrality revis- ion program would open the door to huge European credits, said that the departments figures showed "very clearly that not only have no debts (C0ntinued m Pape A)

Vincent Scully May Be
 ChoicetoMeetC Culhane
Organization, Reorganization Democrats May Unite on Corporation Counsel to Give Battle to Senator
 George T. Culhane in Primaries

Corporation Counsel Vincent Scul- ly today stood forth as the most likely choice of organization and re- organization Democrats to meet Sen- ator George T. Culhane in a prim- ary battle. Friends of Judge Edward Mascolo were still keeping him in the race, but it was believed that he would withdraw in favor of MT. Scully rather than enter a three sided primary. The town commit tee, which plans to remain aloof of ficially from the battle, last night fixed the primary for Oct 20..
 Makeup of the rest of the ticket in the event MT. Scully wins the nomination was being discussed to- day. The impression given in au- thoritative circles was that com- pletely new set of Democratic carl- didates, or a slate containing no more than one or two now holding elective office, would be promised by the Scully supporters.
 Apparent Agreement
 Settlement of the dispute between the town committee and the reor- ganizaticn group over town commit- tee changes has apparently been agreed upon. Four members of the committee resigned last night. Eight of the nine committee vacancies Give members had resigned earlier) were filled. Additional resignations are expected to be offered when the town committee meets again Friday night
 The town committee will take no part officially in the primary bat tie, according to Chairman William H. Dunlavey. It was pointed out, however, that individual members of the committee could support any candidate they wished. Most of the town committee is expected tc back the corporation counsel, though Senator Culhane has some support among the committee members.

FORCED WITHDRAWAL OF MAYOR NECESSARY
Of B Delegates IS. of Them Will Enter G. 0. P.
 Session Unpledged

Fearing that an open fight on the convention floor next Monday night would split the Republican ranks hopelessly for the city election cam paign, organization leaders have begun moves aimed at having Mayor Patrick M. Perriello withdraw from the race and concede the nom- inatior. to the choice of the town committee. In another step motivated by the same reason. attempts were being made to sway some of the Perriello delegates elected Monday night to desert his cause and vote with the town com mittee.
 Charles c. Foster, former city purchasing agent and now secretary Mayor PeYFiel1o, remained today as the town committees favorite choice. Friends of Major John M Burrall, deputy registrar of voters were still working in his behalf.
 IS Are Unpledged
 Of the 32 city convention dele gates, IS of them, elected as town committee choices at the primary, are unpledged. The other IA were elected as Perriello delegates.
 Alderman Thomas Bane is re- ported to have town committee backing for the nomination either for city clerk or controller. Robert Stone is said to be the choice for the town clerk, while John w.

reported a total of 17,783 persons on their payrolls. This represents a gain of 1,167 over August, and a gain of 1,501 over September of 1888.
 The increased employment trend began early in September and con- tinued steadily through the end of the month. Unofficial reports have it that gains are again being re- corded in October, but that tend- ency to flatten out is being noted and that employment increases are not as spectacular as last month.
 The action of Congress toward repeal of the arms embargo is be- ing watched closely, since it will have a great influence on local in- dustry. Lifting of the arms ban would probably mean further addi- tions to local factory payrolls.
 Bank clearings and bank debits both showed increases during Sep tember. Bank savings registered a small decline. Electricity consump- tion dropped, but gas consumption marked up a gain.
 Postal receipts for the month and the number of telephones in use both were higher than in the month previous.
 Following is the Chamber of Com merce business survey for Septem- Der:
 BANK CLEARINGS
 The bank clearings for the month of September amounted to $, ,983, 400, showing an increase of $258,500 as compared with the month of August, and an increase of $34o, 200 as com- pared with the month of Septem- Der, 1898.
 BANK DEBTS
 The bank debits amounted to $27 ,359, ,471.28 for the month of Sep tember, showing an incrasee of $2,643, ,000.54 as compared with the month of August, and an increase of $4,638. .068.46 as compared with the month of September, 1888.
