all possible angles of reorganization
already had been thoroughly de-
bated in the series of public hear

One of the principal differences
between the Griffenhagen plan and

Kitchen cabinet" recommends that
the Commissioners continue in their
present capacity as both the gov
erning body and the administra-
tive heads of the municipality.
Another salient difference in the
two plans is this: Under the Grit
fenhagen plan, budget-making pro-
cedure would be divorced entirely
from the Federal Budget Bureau
and Congress and the Commission
ers, as governing body. would have
power to make appropriations. The

budget-making procedure should not

so, the United States will become
the world center for manufacture
banking and international trade.
Many OF the old established Euro.
pean manufacturing corcerns are
transferring their headquarters to
the United States. despite the high
er cost of production. They figure
that regardless Of the outcome of
the war, Europe won't be a safe
place to live IN the future. Most
leading manufacturers and bankers
have openly expressed their opinion
that the period Of social and eco
nomic unrest linked with heavy
taxes and monetary depreciation
will make business across the At
lantic almost impossible.
Despite transport difficulties and
the heavy insurance charges be-
tween Southeastern Europe and the
United States, there is an increas-
ing volume of trade between that
section Of Europe and this country.
The Yugoslavs, for instance, have
increased their trade relations with
the United States until it amounts
now to about 20 per cent of their
total trade. Germany stands first
with 81 per cent.
Japan is worried at the thought
that the American-Japanese COM
mercial treaty will be permitted to
expire next year. She is almost
completely cut of from Europe and
makes little headway in South
America. Those republics are will
ing to barter or purchase for cash
If the cash is provided by the ex-
porting country. Japan has no gold
to offer the Latin Americas to
finance their orders in the japanese
industrial centers. Thus, despite the
efforts of the diplomatic and trade
representatives, their trade south of
the Rio Grande is just drop in the
bucket.

No License Dictatorship.
In the plan for the license depart
ment, the kitchen cabinet sought to
line up many of the various boards
and services now independent or
scattered among various departments
"a situation which some reorgani-
cation experts have protested
amounts to conglomeration causing
confusion. However, it is specifically
stated in the draft that the director
of licenses would not be given any
discretion in the issuance or refusal
of licenses, where issuance or denial
is recommended by boards created
for that purpose. In other words. the
license director would not be a
dictator"
Among the agencies to be lined
up with the license department are
the following: Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board. Real Estate Commits
sion, Boxing Commission. Board of
Cosmetology. Board of Barber Ex-
aminers. Board of Accountancy,
Board OF Examiners and Registrars
of Architects, Board of Dental Ex-
aminers, Board of Examiners of Vet

ing, Board of Steam and Other OPP
Grating Engineers, Board of Phar-
macy, Board of Optometry, Nurses

the Department of Motor Vehicles
and Traffic in so far as it relates to
the issuance and revocation of mo-

tiflcates and the keeping of records;
and the Recorder of Deeds in so far
as that office relates to the receiv-
ing, recording and releasing of mo-
tor vehicle liens.
A lengthy section is devoted to the
plan for the Commissioners to for
mulate their own budget and send
1t direct to Congress. Detailed state
ments are required of estimates of
expenditures and estimates of re-
ceipts from taxes for the past fiscal
year, the current year and the COM
ing year and other details showing
the stewardship of the Commission
ers over the public's monies. If the
estimates of receipts for the new
year were less than the anticipated
budget, the Commissioner would be
directed to make recommendations
to Congress for new taxes, loans or
other appropriate action to meet the
anticipated deficiency.

II consecutive months or longer,
would be covered into" the mu-
nicipal civil service.
Among the new powers which
would be conferred upon the Com
missioners are:
l. To compromise and settle claims
and suits which the District may
now or hereafter have against any
person. firm. association or corpora
ton upon a report by director Of
law.
2. To name and change the name
Of any street. highway, road. alley
or other public place in the Dis
trict under the jurisdiction of the
Commissioners.
3. To secure and install mechanic
cal parking meters.
4. To make, adopt and enforce a
variety of necessary rules dealing
with electrical, nitro -cellulose and
other technical appliances.
5. To grant revocable permits for
the construction of tunnels and the
laying of conduits and pipes in prop
critics under the jurisdiction OF the
Commissioners.
6. To restrain and punish vagrants,
mendicants and street beggars.
7. To make and enforce regulations
controlling all property belonging to
the District.
8. To grant pardons and respite
for offenses against District laws
or regulations
Meanwhile. Representative Ken
nedy charged that the Commission
ers exceeded instructions in pro-
noting development of their plan
for undermining the District gov
ernment.
Mr.. Kennedy said:
"The Commissioners were told to
submit critique of the Griffenha-
gen plan. If they propose to write
an entirely new plan they are run
ming in the wrong gear"
Fundamentally, there are only
two or three major differences be-
tween the Griffenhagen plan as re-
vised and the program developed by
the kitchen cabinet" But Mr..
Kennedy said the Commissioners
cannot recommend the kitchen
cabinet" plan as their own without
running counter to the instructions
of his subcommittee.
At the District Building, however,,
there seems to be a different under
standing. The Commissioners, it
was explained, were told by the sub
committee, to prepare written COM
ment on the Griffenhagen plan, or
else, as an alternative, draft pro-
gram of their own if they found too
many objections in the Griffen-
hagen setup as embodied in Mr..
Kennedys own reorganization bill.
Called Matter of Mechanics"
Regardless of how Mr.. Kennedy
feels about the procedure followed
by the Commissioners, a member of
the kitchen cabinet" declared the

situation is merely a matter of
mechanics"
What difference does it make
whether the Commissioners draw up
a report criticizing certain features
OF the Griffenhagen plan, or pre-
pare one embodying their own views
on reorganization?" he asked. THE
result would be the same. It seems
to me the Commissioners should
take the easiest way, and that way
is to submit their own plan"
The Commissioners aim to have
their reorganization report ready
for consideration of Mr.. Kennedy's
subcommittee December /, the dead
line fixed by the subcommittee it
self. As soon as it is received, Mr..
Kennedy said he would call q meet
ing of the group to discuss reor-
ganization proposals in general.
1t is Mr.. Kennedy's hope to have
reorganization legislation in definite
form for House action soon after
the regular session of Congress
starts. That means any program on
which his subcommittee finally
agrees, must get stamp of ap-
proval from the full District Com
mittee and placed on the House
calendar early in January.

Fer Sessions to Be

Plans for hearings on the West
Coast, in Detroit and perhaps in
several other areas in addition to
Washington, were being considered
today by the special House Com
mittee investigating the National
Labor Relations Board as subpoenas
were served on board employees all
over the country.

the committee has definitely de-

those cities. Dates have not yet
been set.
Numerous requests have been re-
ceived, committee spokesman said,
for the investigating group to hold
sessions in Detroit.
For the Washington hearings, for
which date also has not yet been
set, the committee has issued nu-
merous subpoenas. Among those
called to appear are several board
employees said to be officers of Gov
ernment employe unions. Accord
