Speculation Rife
On Presidents Plans
For Reorganization
Chief Executive Signs
Much Revised Bill
At Warm Springs

Speculation on President Roose-
velt's Government reorganization
plans Yas widespread today in the
wake Of his action last night at
Warm Springs, Ga, in signing the
authorization passed by Congress.
Modified materially from the form
rejected by the last Congress, the
present law exempts more than a
dozen special agencies from any re-
vision. In addition, it specifies that
employees who may lose positions as
a result of reorganizations are to be
given preferred unemployment status
for a period of II months while
those transferred are to retain their
classification through the current
fiscal year.
The provision stirring most spec
ulation around the White House is
that authorizing the President to
name six administrative assistants
at maximum salaries OF $4,000
yearly.
Mr.. Roosevelt has given no indica-
ton as to the Identities of such spe-
cial assistants, nor has he indicated
what Government agencies are to
be reorganized.

motion, commended John Ihlder,

that reinstatement of this cut will
be used to great advantage to

Contributions Of any old clothes
and even rubbish have served to

ployed and underemployed persons

. for necessities" Mrs. Craighill ex-
planned.
The group tabled motion by
Miss Taggart favoring an elective
School Board independent of other
agencies. A motion approving the
Gri6enhagen proposal for a city
council, proposed by Mrs. Donald
Montgomery, also was postponed
until the next meeting of the group.

Snapshot Of Doing Legislator
Brings Fight on Cumerumen
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, April 4.-John
S. White, majority floor leader of
the House of Delegates, delayed the
Legislature nearly an hour early to-
day, when, enraged at a newspaper
cameraman, he sent the House into
executive session, automatically pre-
venting it from voting on bills.
Mr.. White objected to a camera
man swapping a picture of Mrs.
Vesta M. Cary, Democrat, of Balti-
more, as she dozed at her desk.
In the midst of his speech, another
photographer in the gallery aimed
his lens on Mr.. White.

White shouted, "the House or the
press? ask the sergeant at arms
to remove the, photographer from
the gallery.
This demand shortly, produced a
delegation from the press, who in
terviewed Mr.. White on the floor.
The newspapermen contended Mr..
White could not exclude q pho.
tographer from the chamber With.

out excluding other newsmen as
we'll.
In the midst of the discussion,
Mr.. White suddenly turned and
shouted to Speaker Thomas Conlon
a motion that the chamber be
cleared and the House sent into
executive session. The motion car
ried and the aisles and galleries
cleared.
Then, Delegate White discovered,
the House could not, under the rules,
vote on any of the pile Of bills
before it. To keep the legislative
wheels grinding, the House would
have to end its executive session
and permit reporters to return.
Delegate Leon Abramson, Demo-
crat, of Baltimore, and Delegate c.
S. Houck, Democrat, of Frederick.
led a hot debate which followed
exclusion of the press, indicating
they would leave the chamber un-
less the ban was rescinded. :
Upshot of the wrangle was an
omcial ruling-over the vigorous OBJ
jections Of Delegate White-that
photographers could work from the
gallery. but not from the door.

Campaign is reaching 5000 miles

capped by deafness or blindness.
This was disclosed today when
G.. de la Bat, principal of the Ac-
countant School for the Deaf and
Blind in Worcester, South Africa,
visited The Star to make final ar
rangements for the shipment Of
complete set of the records offered
in the campaign to the far-oft
school,
These records will play an impor-
tant part in the training of the 200
deaf and 1879 blind children who
are being educated at the school
in Worcester. town of about 10000,
Mr. de la Bat informed The Star.
Accompanied by his attractive
wife, Mr. de la Bat has just COM

and blind in this country under
grant from the Carnegie Founda-
ton. This week he leaves for a
tour of schools in Europe before re-
turning to South Africa.
ut was wonderful thing for us
that we happened to be in Wash
ington while this campaign is being
carried on" Mr.. de la Bat said.
I'VE need records in our work at
the school and these are just what
we want"
Mr.. de la Bat explained that
music plays an important role in
teaching the handicapped children
an appreciation Of rhythm. By
learning a sense of rhythm in mu-
sic, the pupils can be taught ac-
cent, expression, rhythm and phras-
ing in speech so that they will not
speak in monotone, he said.

Jeanne's first major service under

Speaking of his tour, Mr.. de la Bat
said it was great experience to
inspect the facilities of the schools
for deaf and blind in this country
because we're stuck away in one
corner of the globe and do not
have much opportunity to get to-
gether with others in this field to
discuss new methods of training
handicapped children"
Because of the great distance
they must travel, all the recordings
will be shipped at once as soon as
the entire group has been released.
So far, four symphonic works have
been made available. Along with
the complete set of recordings, a
record player also will be sent to
the South African school.
The children now being educated
at the school are between 5 and 81
years of age, Mr.. de la Bat said.
The school is privately owned, but
receives aid from the government.

Superstructure Bid Of
$2,157,000 Accepted
John McShoin Co.
Figure Coils for
Imperial Donby Marble

The National Park Service has
been authorized to award a contract
for construction of the superstruc-
ture of the Thomas Jefferson Memo
rial to the John McShain Co. of
Philadelphia for an amount which
will insure completion of the memp-
rial within the $3,0000O limit orig
inally established, it was announced
today.
The amount of the low base bid
of the Philadelphia concern was
$2,157 900. The amount of the con-
tract authorized, subject to later
adjustment, is $2,159,300, due to &C
ceptance of number of alternatives.
some of which were deducted from
and some added to the lump sum
bid
AS accepted. the bid calls for the
use of imperial Dandy marble for
the exterior of the memorial.
Allows Another Bid.
The Jefferson Memorial Commits
sion, which authorized the award of
the contract following a meeting
here yesterday, has reserved the
right to award another alternative
bid, providing for the use of marble
as the material for the interior OF
the memorial, at an additional cosi
OF S99 900, within 80 days after the
GATE OF the letter of award. If this
alternative is accepted, the contract
price for the superstructure will be
increased to $2,25S,3 300.
Decision as to the interior mate
rial was deferred in order that SUBJ
committee in charge of arrange
ments for the sculpture of the statue
OF Jefferson might give further con-
sideration to the harmonizing of the
interior finish with the statue it.
self.
Announcement of the decision to
award the contract to the McShain
Co. was made by Stuart G. Glib
honey, recently elected permanent
chairman of the Thomas jefferson
Memorial Commission.
Style Protested.
BIDS from five companies for the
superstructure work were opened by
the National Park Service March II.
despite protest to Congress from
the National Commission of Fine
Arts against erection of the proposed
Roman Pantheon type of memorial
now proposed. One of the conten-
tions of the Fine Arts group was that
the memorial could not be built
within the $1,000, 900 cost limit with
out lowering the standards of great
memorials in Washington.
Foundations for the jefferson Me-
mortal now are being constructed
under s38490O contract, which
leaves S2,615,l00 of the authorized
S3,000.000 available for the super
structure and statue. This means
that s455. 300 will be available fo-
the statue even if marble is selected
for the interior. or that s554,S0 will
be available Ii the interior is finished
with less expensive stone.
The Memorial Commission has yet
to select sculptor for the statue.
1t has been indicated that selection
will be made through a competition
or possibly limited competition.
