Hearings Set on Plan
For u. ). AGENCY Reforms

Public hearings on the proposal
to reform procedure in the admin
istrative agencies of the Govern
ment will be held June 26, q and
% and July 10, II and IL, it was
announced yesterday by Dean Ache
son, head Of the Attorney Gen.
erals Committee on Administra-
tive Procedure.
The committee was appointed last
year at the direction of the Presi-
dent and since then members of
the staff have been studying the
machinery of the various agencies.
Monographs have been completed
on number of these studies and
will be taken up for discussion at
the June meeting, which will be
held at District Court. The others
are expected to be ready for the
July meeting.
Announcing the public hearings
the committee said "all persons and
organizations" are invited to ex-
press their opinion on administra-
tive procedure and may also submit
written statements.
The question of reform in admin
istrative agencies has been the
subject of controversy for months
because of the growing power ex-
ercised by these groups. The House
at the present session passed the
Logan-Walter bill. The measure
which is vigorously opposed by the
administration, is awaiting action
by the Senate.

and by blockade, while fatally re-
ducing the power Of the allied
armies.
The breaking of the center was
accomplished first, by surprise no
one expected an advance through
the difficult Ardennes). next. by the
terrific power of the German
officers tactics in the air. plus
tanks, followed by motorized in
fantry and artillery, and striking
at a spot already the weakest in
the frontier defenses and quickly
weakened further by the operations
of the German air force and
mechanical units tanning out in
the rear.
With the break through effected,
1t was next necessary to widen the
breach, of course, to the westward,
where the main objective lay, and
to thrust into the gap as many
motorized holding troops as pos
sible, thus pushing forward a deep
bulge into French territory, within
which German consolidation could
be effected. The outer limits Of
this bulge seem now to have
reached the Maubeuge -Cambari-
st Quenten-Laon Rethel- Mont
medy Line.
Mechanized Units Reorganized.
The next step was to thrust for
ward mechanized units again (now
refueled and reorganized) along the
Somme Valley toward the vital rail
junction of Amiens, and on to the
coast, cutting for the moment all
communication between the allied
left wing and main body.
All this had to be accomplished
with the greatest speed, with con-
tinuity of action which gave the
allies no time to gather force for a
counter blow. Meanwhile, gather
ing ominous weight in the north,
the German right wing was batter
ing at the allied covering force along
the Scheldt, while the Belgian roads
were choked with the slow moving
columns of infantry and artillery
coming up to drive the allied left
into the Channel.
This is an adaptation to modern
conditions of Count Won Schlieffen s
famous plan. In conception and so
far in execution, 1t can only be de-
scribed as well worthy of the great
snategist who inspired it. Needless
to say, it can hardly have been
worked out by any inexperienced or
amateur soldier. One might con-
lecture that the cold brilliance of
Gen. Beck lies behind it.
The Present Situation.
The present situation seems about
as follows: On the Scheldt, the
allied rear guards are giving way.
The Germans appear to have
reached some part on the Belgian

After passing bottle around, they
sat down to eat breakfast.
No snatch Of their conversation
reached the two hidden among the

bottle went from hand to hand
more than once. They ate hurriedly,

This they descended carefully, Sill

The trapped man knew he must
not let Silcott guess why he was
here. He must get him and Pesky
out OF the way before the return of

thing about the editors manner he
did not like, hint of grim purpose
that was disturbing. He told him
