service? Here they are: You can
send packages to soldiers any,
where in the U. S., although there
are now Post Office restrictions on
packages to overseas Army men;
and you can send packages to men
in the Navy, Coast Guard, and
Marines, wherever they are. And
when you send that package from
home, remember-the gift men in
the service always appreciate is
cigarettes. And the favorite with
men in the Army, Navy, Coast
Guard, and Marines is Camel

Crowley Orders Stud,
To Unity Agencies Of
Economic Warfare
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press -
President Roosevelt having issued
the license, the Budget Bureau has
been directed to arrange for the
mass marriage Of the many Federal
agencies handling economic war
fare.
Leo T. Crowley. new economic
warfare chief, ordered the Budget
Bureau study and was said today to
be awaiting a report before deter
mining the extent OF reorganization
needed to bring about revitalized
set up for this type Of work. The
investigation is expected to take
from As to so days.
Mr. Crowley, appointed several
weeks ago to direct newly con-
solidated ONCE of Economic War
fare, which is made up of agencies
formerly managed by Vice President
Wallace and Secretary of Com
merce Jones, has selected a deputy
to take over the day-to-day run
ming Of DEW and Is awaiting final
acceptance before announcing the
appointment.
Whoever he is will move into the
key job vacated by Milo Perkins,
whose tenure as executive director
Of the old Board Of Economic War
fare was ended by the Presidents
reorganization order.
Mr.. Perkins was said to be con-
sidering several offers from private
industry but would not make UP
his mind until he returns from a
vacation in Mexico the middle of
this month.
Whatever changes in the admin
istrative machinery will accrue from
the budget study, it Is likely they
will involve cut in foreign per-
sonnel if duplication of effort is
found, an official said.
He placed the total personnel Of
the old BEW at approximately
$500, of whom 400 are outside the
United States This is exclusive Of
about 900 native laborers abroad
engaged in checking the quality of
materials purchased by the United
States.
The new DEW also will consist of
the entire personnel of four RFC
subsidiaries -. the United States
Commercial Co.. Rubber Develop
ment Corp, Petroleum Develop
ment Corp. and Export Import
Bank-and that portion of the per-
sonnel of two other subsidiaries
