Tough Quiz Program
Given 10 Maryland
Assemb|ymen
Baltimore Group Asks
Legislators for Views
On Patronage
BY the Associated Press.

by tLc ASSOCldteQ kTeSS.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 25.-Maryland
legislators, usually skittish about
answering questionnaires, ran into
tough one yesterday involving the
ancient system of political patron
age operated by every general
assembly.
The queries went out to all 149
members of the Legislature from
the Baltimore Junior Association of
Commerce and requested for or
against answers.
Specifically, the assemblymen were
asked to approve or disapprove a
streamlined setup which would re-
quire legislative employees to show
up personally at the Statehouse, be
available for work during the full
period of employment, be capable
of performing duties assigned, and
pass merit system tests.
Futher, the QUESTIONABLE sought
reaction to use of a legislative
employment director" at a fixed
salary who would be responsible for
the conduct of assembly employees.
In the past, some legislative en-
ployes have accepted jobs at An
napolis and taken the pay, but
haven't shown up for work.
The questionnare also suggested
minimum employment period of
80 days for each legislative en-
ploye. Under the present system,
members can hire constituents in
relays for week or 10 days each.
A check of legislators indicated
the QUESTIONABLE would receive
little attention.

McCarran Hits
Reorganization
Law Extension
Nevada Democrat
Opens Fight on
New Authority Grant
BY ]. A. O'LEARY,

The opening gun was fired today
by Senator McCarran, Democrat. OF
Nevada, against any extension Of
the Presidents power to reorganize
Government agencies, which expires
by law January 81,
Although no definite announce
ment has been made of plans to
re-enact the measure, Senate
Majority Leader Barkley indicated
yesterday he thought it might be
advisable to have the authority re-
main in existence, pointing out that
possible improvements through con-
solidations comes to light from time
to time
Senator McCarran, who took part
in the controversial debate over
the present law in the spring of
1889. asserted today he was more
opposed than ever" to the authori-
zation. He contended that every
one of the reorganization plans has
or will reflect greater degree of
expense than before"
/. Hear of Supervision Change.
The Nevada Senator revealed also
that he has heard "emphatically" Of
reports of possible move to take
some of the independent commits
slons and boards out of the status
they were created to occupy as
agencies responsible to Congress,
and make them responsible to the
Executive Branch of Government,
In the enactment of the present re-
organization law a dozen or more
OF these quasi-judicial boards were
exempt from reorganization, along
with some units of executive de-
partments which have strong sup
port in Congress.
These agencies. such as the Inter-
state Commerce Commission and
others of like importance" Senator
McCarran said, were created to
represent Congress and be respon-
sible to it. Any reorganization that
assumes to destroy this principle
will be another step in taking from
the people the power to govern
themselves, by taking from Congress
the power to regulate agencies that
are legislative in nature"
The whole reorganization program,
Senator McCarran said, lis destruc-
tive of democracy" because it places
in the control of the executive
powers never contemplated by the
Constitution or by the founders of
this Government"
Sees Disaster" in Shifts.
Asserting that reorganization to
date has been colossal disaster
from the economic standpoint" the
Western Senator said Congress
should take back to itself and hold
the powers that belong to Congress.
The Senator criticized particularly
the reorganization of the Civil Aero
nautics Authority, against which he
waged an unsuccessful fight. He
said:
THE executive order which de-
stroyed the independence of the c.
A. A. not only caused greater ex-
pense to the Government, but, like
wise, brought about an imperative,
unWorkable scheme. resulting in con-
fusion, lack of harmony and re-
sulting in terrific loss of life and
destruction of property"
The law, which expires next
month, allowed the President to
draw up reorganization plans, which
would become effective so days after
submission to Congress unless during
that interval both Houses voted dis
approval
