any purpose, within the scope OF the
authority of any of the agencies,
when that credit will promote EN-.
ployment and aid in recovery"
Mr.. Jones said he would endeavor
to coordinate activities of the vari-
Gus lending agencies with view to
eliminating any overlapping. and
that there should be no difficulty in
making some savings. Administra.
tor Carmody spoke also of the posi-.
bilities Of effecting savings.
President Roosevelt has predicted
that economies resulting from the
reorganization generally may exceed
$40 900 900 a year.
In addition to the works and lend
ing group and varied services to be
shifted among departments, the So
cial Security Board will be placed
in a new Federal Security Agency
with the United States employment
service, the Office of education, the
Public Health Service, the National
Youth Administration, the c. C. c.,
and the radio division and film
service OF the National Emergency
Council.
Mr.. Roosevelt has not vet NOM

branches of Congress. The Senate,
he said, voted unanimously for
$7,750, 900 for the coming year and
for the land-area formula as a per l.
manent solution.
Even assuming that the House is
virtually unanimous for the S5.0O0,-
600 figure, Senator Overton declared
that neither the House nor the
Senate should have the complete
will of the other imposed on it.
In such situation, he added. the
only fair way to avoid a deadlock
that would put Congress in the
position of being unable to legislate
for the National Capital is for the
two houses to meet each other hail
way.
1t was in this spirit that the
Senate compromise offer was made
and Senator Overton indicated that
in so doing he had gone furthe,
than some members of the Senate
group favored.
Meanwhile, in the background of
the main battle over the Fedora
payment, the tax conferees still
were in disagreement as between
the House income tax and the Sem
ate business privilege levy.

.Carmody Wants
Harrington 10 Stay
As W.P. A. Head
Administrator Of Vast
FederoI Works Agency
Tokes Over at Midnight
BY the Associated Press.

BY the AsSoc1ate0 PreSS.
John NJ. Carmody, head of the
vast Federal Works Agency which
comes into being at midnight under
President Roosevelt's Government
reorganization plan, disclosed today
that he wanted Col. r. c. Harring-
ton, Army engineer, to continue at
the w. p. A. helm.
Mr.. Carmody made this known in
his first public statement after
being confirmed by the Senate to
administer the combined activities
of more than half a dozen existing
Government units. The w. p. A.
appointment would give Col. Har-
rington-an Army of11cer with a
reputation for slashing red tape and
getting things done quickly-direct
supervision over the spending of
about $500, 900 900 in the next II
months.
Uncertainties over the relief ap-
preparation caused him to announce
shutdown of all w. P. A. projects
from July to July A. The $500, 900
workers affected will be permitted
to make up the time later in July.
Carmody Takes Over p. w. A.
Mr.. Carmody is leaving the Rural
Electrification Administration for
his new $l2 ,000-a-year Job. Among
the half a dozen units he is taking
over is the Public Works Admins
