Reorganization
0fExecutiue
Branch Looms

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4 Up
= Budget Director Harold ID
Smith goes to Capitol Hill to-
day 10 back up President Tru-
mans request for more control
over Federal agencies.
Smith was asked TO explain
TO the House Expenditures Com
mit,ee q p. m, EWT) why Mr..
Truman thinks he should have
more authority 10 reorganize the
Executive branch of the govern
ment.
The Budget Director faces a
group of unconvinced that any
major change should be made,
particularly if il involves TAX
ing away congressional powers.
Chairman Canasco DALAI
for instance, told a reporter it
would be futile" to try to pass
measure along the lines sug-
gested- by Mr.. Truman IN mes
sage TO Congress last Spring.
Instead, Manasco placed be-
fore his committee a bill exempt
ing 81 agencies from any pres
idential revamping-unless both
the House and Senate agree.
The 81 include such agencies
as the Interstate Commerce
Commerce Commission and the
G enera II Accounting Office.
Those two are congressional
pets because both are respon-
sible directly to Congress and
not the Chief Executive.
Mr. Truman said in his mes
sage that many of the agencies
should be reorganized in order
to achieve more efficient and
economical administration.
The late President Roosevelt
made similar request, but Con-
gress refused to go along.
However, a move developed
in the Senate today for partial
support of Mr.. Truman's plan.
Chairman McCarran- lD-NeXl
of the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee set a hearing for Thursday
on measure much more favor
able to the President than the
House legislation.
The Senate bill would give
the White House authority. I'M
less Congress objected officially
within 60 days. to coordinate.
consolidate or abolish any exec
utive agencies except the Cen
eral Accounting Office.
McCarran himself was criti-
cal of this plan, saying it gave
Congress negative role.
Some other committee members,
however, were reported willing
to agree to such a watchdog
position.
Possible targets Of any reor-
ganization campaign are such
independent agencies as the Ma

bell he was innocent Of
forgery for which he was i'm
prisoned.
Campbell was convicted occur
red Nov. 10, 1897. at the Trust
Co. Of North America bank.
Stories differ as to how Mr..
Campbell got involved in the
first place. But MIR. Donovan
says that Thiel stole checks
from the brokerage firm where
Mr.. Campbell then worked. Po-
lice, investigating the theft,
found that the only telephone
call made after hours had been
made from Mr. Campbell's desk,
and this led TO his arrest.
Among those who identified
Mr.. Campbell at the trial were
a teller from a New Jersey bank
which. Thiel had hoodwinked,
the teller who had waited on
Thiel at the Trust Co. of North
America, and the latter banks
president, now retired.
1t should be said to the credit
of the New York Police forgery
squad that they apparently were
