To Offer Resolution
Next Week
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

WIN pOtn OF President ROOSeVelt'S
Government reorganization plans as
sured of being carried out, Senator
Byrnes, Democrat, of South Caro-
lima is expected to introduce next
week a joint resolution to shorten
the 60-day waiting period
The second plan, abolishing the
Bituminous Coal Commission, plac-
ing the Rural Identification Ad-
ministration in the Department of
Agriculture and transferring more
than Is other bureaus to different
departments, was placed beyond the
possibility OF congressional veto yes
terday by Senate action.
When the Senate rejected a reso-
luton to disapprove Plan No. 2. it
was tantamount to making it effec-
tive, without House action, since the
law requires disapproval by both
branches. BY similar action a week
ago, the House insured the carry
ing out of Plan No. /. regrouping
New Deal agencies into three major
new units of government-Publi
Works, Lending and Security.

Senator Byrnes will decide be-
fore Tuesday on the best date to
recommend in his joint resolution
for carrying out the two plans, with
out waiting the full so days required

comforting with the budget direc-
tor, and with Secretary of Interior
Ickes, who will take over enforce
ment of the Bituminous Coal Act.
