any authority over anybody in
any department or agency.
The only way in which the
President can be relieved of the
physically impossible task of di-
rectly dealing with 30 or 40 major
agencies is by reorganization
by the regrouping of agencies
according to their major purposes
under responsible heads who will
report to the President, just as is
contemplated by the Reorgani-
zation Act of 1899.
This act says that the Presi-
dent shall investigate the organi-
zation Of all agencies of the Gov
ernment and determine what
changes are necessary to accom-
pllsh any one or more of five
definite purposes:
Cd To reduce expenditures.
Cd To increase efficiency.
90 To consolidate agencies ac-
cording to major purposes.
90 To reduce the number of
agencies by consolidating those
having similar functions and by
abolishing such as may not be
necessary.
90 To eliminate overlapping
and duplication of effort.
1t being obviously impracticable
to complete this task at one time,
but, having due regard to the
declaration of Congress that it
should be accomplished immedi-
ately and speedily, have decided
to undertake it promptly in sew
eral steps.
The first step is to improve
overall management, that is to do
those things which will accom-
pllsh the purposes set out in the
law. and which, at the same time,
will reduce the difficulties of the
President in dealing with the
multifarious agencies of the ex-
ecutlve branch and assist him in
distributing his responsibilities as
as the chief administrator of the
Government by providing him the
necessary organization and ma
chinery for better administrative
management. =
ALLEGATION Of Activities.
The second step is to improve
the ALLEGATION of departmental
activities, that is, to do those
things which will accomplish the
purposes set out in the law and
at the same time help that part
OF the work of the executive
branch which is carried on
through executive departments
and agencies. In all this the re-
sponsibility to the people is
through the President.
The third step is to improve
intradepartmental management,
that is, to do those things which
will enable the heads of depart
ments and agencies the better to
carry out their own duties and
distribute their own work among
their several assistants and sub
ordinates.
Each of these three steps may
require from time to time the
submission of one or more plans
involving one or more reorgan-
lzations, but it is my purpose to
fulfill the duty imposed upon me
by the Congress as eXpeditiously
as practicable and to the fullest
extent nOSSih1e in vieu, of tho
exceptions and exemptions set
out in the act.
The plan I now transmit is
divided into four parts or sec
tlons which I shall describe
briefly as follows:
Evening star., 1939-04-25
Port l-Executive Office

In my message to the Congress
OF January IL. 1887, in discussing
the problem of how to improve
the administrative management
OF the executive branch, trans
mltted with my approval certain
recommendations for strengthen
ing and developing the manage
ment arms of the President.
Those three management arms
deal with Cd budget and effici-
ency research, (2) planning, and
go personnel. My accumulated
experience during the two years
since that time has deepened nv
conviction that it is necessary
for the President to have direct
access to these managerial
agencies in order that he NAV
have the machinery to enable
him to carry out his constitu-
tlonal responsibility, and in order
that he may be able to control
expenditures, to increase eff1ci-
ency, to eliminate overlapping
and duplication of effort, and to
be able to get the information
which will permit him the better
to advise the Congress concern
ing the state of the Union and
the program of the Government.
Transfer of Budget.
therefore, I find it necessary
and desirable in carrying out the
purposes of the act to transfer
the Bureau of the Budget to the
executive office of the President
from the Treasury Department..
1t is apparent from the legisla-
tive history of the Budget and
accounting Act that it was the
purpose in 1921 to set up an
executive budget for which the
President would be primarily re-
sponslble to the Congress and to
the people, and that the director
OF the budget was to act under
the immediate direction and
supervision of the President.
While no serious difficulties have
peen encountered because of the
TACT that the Bureau of the
Budget was placed in the Treas
ury Department so far as max
Ing budgetary estimates has been
concerned, it is apparent that its
co-ordinating activities and its re-
search and investigational activi-
tles recently provided for by the
congress, will be facilitated if
the bureau is not a part of one
OF the 10 executive depart
ments. Also, in order that the
bureau of the Budget may the

better carry out its work of CO.
ordination and investigation, I
find it desirable and necessary in
order to accomplish the purposes
OF the act to transfer to the
Bureau of the Budget the func-
tions of the Central Statistical
Board
BY these transfers to the ex-
ecutive Office, the President will
be given immediate access to
that managerial agency which is
concerned with the preparation
and administration of the bud
get, with the coordination of the
work of the governmental agen-
cleS, and with research and in
vestigation necessary to accom-
plish the five definite purposes
Of the Reorganization Act of 1899.
Resources Planning Board.
I also find it necessary and
desirable to transfer to the ex-
ecutive Office of the President
the National Resources Commit
tee, now an independent estab-
lishment, and to consolidate with
1t by transfer from the Depart
ment of Commerce the functions
OF the Federal Employment
Sterilization Office. the consoli-
dated unit to be known as the
National Resources Planning
Board. This board would be
made up as is the present Ad-
visory Board of the National
Resources Committee of Citizens
giving part-time services to the
Government, who, aided by their
technical staff, would be able to
advise the President. the Con-
gress and the people with respect
to plans and programs for the
conservation of the national re-
sources, physical and human. BY
these transfers to the executive
office the President will be given
more direct access to and imme-
diate direction over that agency
which is concerned with PLAN
ming for the utilization and con-
servation of the national re-
sources, an indispensable part Of
the equipment of the Chief Ex-
ecutive.
On previous occasions I have
recommended, and I hereby re-
new and emphasize my recon-
mendation, that the work of this
board be placed upon a perma-
nent statutory basis.
Because of an exemption in the
act, it is impossible to transfer
to the executive Office the adj
ministration of the third man.
agerial function of the Govern
ment-that of personnel. How
ever, I desire to inform the
Congress that it is my purpose
to name one of the administra-
tive assistants to the President,
authorized in the Reorganization
Act of 1889. to serve as a llasion
agent of the White House on
personnel management.
In this manner, the President
will be given for the first time
direct access to the three prin-
cipal necessary manage m ent
agencies of the Government.
None of the three belongs in any
existing department. With their
assistance, and with this reorgan-
ization, it will be possible for the
President to continue the task of
making Investigations of the or
ganiZation of the Government in
order to control expenditures, in
crease efficiency and eliminate
overlapping.

to be in favor of whatever neutrality

Senator Pepper, Democrat, of

give the President no discretion be-

Cash and carry" Senator Pitt

goods must get title to them before
they leave this country. 1t says
nothing about shipping, except that
American-owned goods cannot be
shipped across the water to nations
at war.
There is separate shipping pro-

heavy penalties on shippers carrying
goods to belligerent nations.
These two provisions are entirely
separate. I am irreconcilably op-
posed to any change in the former,

So possibility of desirable changes in

NEW YORK. Jan. II Q.N.S0
Warren Buddy" Rosar, of the
Newark Bears. who batted to the
tune of .387 in 81 games last sea-
son, was equally good among the
catchers in fielding, official Inter
national League averages reveal
today. He will report to the New
York Yankees for next season.
While his hitting did not quite
compare in some respects with
that of his ball-powdering team
mate, Charlie Keller. who also will
try out with the Yankees. there
was no doubt of Rosar's fielding
superiority among the backstops.
His average was 1893.
The other leading fielders in the
official averages are:
First basemen, Irving Burns,
Toronto, 1896; second baSemen,
Herman Schultz, Newark, $40;
third basemen, Howard Meyers,
Syracuse, .961; shortstops, Martin

a few winners return to his
barn and the financial status
quickly changes, with the gen.

time than a week.
This financial rating can

a stable of horses; that is,
to carry it in a proper state
where each horse is given every
opportunity to earn his own

The following few items, which
constitute the expense account
of the stable-owning horseman,
will blast all exaggerated eSti-
mates Of net income.
The initial money expended of
course goes to the purchase of
horses. At this time, however,
it will not be considered but will
be treated only as part of the
business investment.
The first major and important
expense is labor. Competent gin

stable, of a half-dozen horses
or so will run into an item Of ap-
proximately $1,000 to $1,500.
The expense of larger stables
will, of course, increase in pro
