Mrs Max O. Lorenz, the new
president, who succeeded Mrs. Louis
Gutenberg, has announced she will
be at headquarters each Monday
morning until Congress adjourns.
Furthermore, all telephone calls re-
ceived at headquarters, when the
office is vacant. will be transferred
to Mrs. Lorenz' residence, so that
no vital part of the league program
will be neglected.
Though most departments and
committees will discontinue regular
sessions during the summer, the
department of government and for
eign policy, headed by Mrs. Lorenz
before her elevation to the presi-
dency, has refused to disband and
will continue meetings twice each
month.
Plan to Expand Personnel
OF Departments Studied.
Another activity, expected to keep
league officers and members busy
is a proposed plan to expand the
personnel of departments and stand
ing committee Scheduled to come
before a board meeting the latter
part of the month, this plan, If en-
acted. will add to each department
a vice chairman. member to take
charge of material for news letters
and publicity and a member to
follow legislation with which the
department is particularly con-
cerned. Additional helpers also will
be assigned to the standing COM
mitteeS.
Not exactly reorganization"
measure, the proposed expansion of
personnel is designed to tighten the
load of department and committee
chairmen, who have found league
work increasingly heavy as the or
ganiZation has attempted to be
more active on specific civic and
national problems The prospect of
aiding a legislative student to each
of the departments is looked on
with particular favor by many. The
work of such members would be
co-ordinated under the general
Committee or Legislation.
The largest number of additional
helpers in the various committees
would probably be made in the
Committees on Finance. Legislation
and Membership, it was said.
