Merger Sought for Years.
Treasury 4cials have sought this
merger for several years, but have
never been able to get authority from
Congress. It will give the Treasury
an enforcement stan larger than
that OF the Federal Bureau Of Inves-
tigation.
Beyond that combination admin
istration officials report a maze Of
problems awaiting solution. The
President Is expected to lean heav-
lily for assistance on the Budget
Bureau and its new director, Har-
Old D. Smith Of Michigan.
Mr.. Smith, who will take omce
April Is. helped Attorney General
Murphy organize the Michigan gov
ernment when Mr.. Murphy was Gov
ernor. The bureau already is ex-
panding its division of investiga-
/ ton, which will be available for re-
organization studies.
Among reorganizations which may
be undertaken are these:
l. Combination Of the Federal Re-
employment Service, now under the
Labor Department, and the Unem-
ployment Compensation Service Of
the Social Security Board.
2. Reorganization Of housing
agencies. In this field are the Home
Owners Loan Corporation, origi-
nally designed to prevent foreclos-
ures on mortgaged homes: the Fed
eral Housing Administration, which
Evening star., 1939-03-24

finances home construction and
modernization, and the United
States Housing Authority, low-cost
housing agency.
Can't Create New Departments.
3. Combination Of the p. w. A.
and the w. p. A. The President
cannot create any new departments,
even should he desire to, but he
might attempt his own solution Of
the public works-relief set-up by
some sort Of sub-departmental
merger.
One thing which Mr.. Roosevelt
may do without delay is appoint
six White House administrative as
sistants-men, as he once said, with
passion for anonymity"
Speculation over the appointees
includes Charles West, former In
terror Undersecretary; William H
McReynolds, administrative assist
ant to Secretary Morgenthau; Ru-
dolph Forster, White House execu.
tive clerk; Leon Henderson, secre.
tary of the Monopoly Committee;
Thomas Corcoran and BENJAMIN

Committee Approves
FIJI. A. Mortgage
Boost After Row
81, ,000O O00, 900 Advocated
By President Voted
Amid Bitter Dispute

By the Associated Press.
The House Banking Committee
agreed today on a $1,000, ,000, 900 in
crease, recommended by President
Roosevelt, in the amount of insured
mortgages which the Federal Hous-
ing Administration may have out
standing.
1t made the decision only after
what members described as bitter
row" yesterday. Republicans said it
was the most heated argument in
the committee which they could
recall.
They said an attempt was made
to take action without giving them
a chance to offer some amendments.
The President intervened, while q
Senate Banking Subcommittee was
considering the mortgage insurance
measure, to settle differences be-
tween the F.. H. A. and the Home
Owners Loan Corp.
The F. H. A. wanted the present
~o,ooo,oVo,VOo A1llllU Oll lllOllSdRC LII.
surance doubled and a continuation
OF its authority to insure loans on
homes already built. The H. o. l..
c. contended F. H. A. should be re-
stricted to insuring mortgages on
new construction and said that, if
it were, $4,000, 100000 would be
enough.
The House committee was re-
ported to favor a two-year extension
OF the F. H. AS authority to insure
loans on existing structures.
The committee also has agreed
tentatively that F. H. A. shall not
insure loans for modernization and
repair of more than $4,000. The
present limit is $4,000. 1t has de-
cided that the lending institutions
should be required to pay l per
cent premium for such insurance
No premium is required now.

 Dictator Bill Passed
 The senate passed the dictatorship bill after a calm debate. Daladier appeared in person to plead for it and only seven senators voted against it. The chamber of deputies approved it Saturday.
 The bill gave Daladier and his cab- inet as much authority as Adolf Hit Ter and Benito Mussolini. Its drastic nature was emphasized ironically by the newspaper L'Oeuvre, which said today: At the cabinet meeting last night, Daladier enumerated the de- cisions taken. What decisions? It seems one takes certain risks to re- port what might have been said in war ministry circles"
 Last September just before the Munich conference, France partly mobilized her army. Before doing so, she explained the army's structure by calling up reserve officers and specialists. This enabled the army to absorb quickly a million reserves. This was so successful, that the same procedure was expected to be fol- lowed again and suggested that France foreSaw an eevntuality soon that would result in a mobilization
