Budget Director
Backs Truman
Revampiing Plan
Smith Will Explain
Need for Changes to
House Committee
By the Associated Press.

- VAN <A5SoSiobeo iCocs
Budget Director Harold D,
Smith goes to Capitol Hill today
to support President Truman's
request for more control over
Federal agencies.
Mr.. Smith Is to explain to the
House Expenditures Committee why
Mr.. Truman seeks more authority
to reorganiZe the executive branch
of the Government.
The budget director faces a group
unconvinced that any major change
should be made, particularly If 1t in
wolves removing congressional pow
ers.
Manasco Calls Plan Futile"
Chairman Manasco, for instance,
told a reporter it would be futile
to try to pass measure along the
lines suggested by Mr.. Truman In a
message to Congress last spring.
Instead, Mr.. Manasco placed be-
fore his committee a bill exempting
81 agencies from any presidential
revamping-unless both the House
and the Senate agree.
The 81 include such agencies as
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and the General Accounting
Office. Those two are congressional
pets" because both are responsible
to Congress and not the Chief Exec
utive.
Rnosevelf Vda, Raia.fad
Mr.. Truman said in his message
that many of the agencies should be
reorganized to achieve more efficient
and economical administration.
The late President Roosevelt made
similar request, but Congress re-
fused to agree.
However, a move developed in the
Senate today for partial support of
Mr.. Truman's plan.
Chairman McCarran of the Senate
Judiciary Committee, set a hearing
for Thursday on a measure much
more favorable to the President than
the House legislation.
Negative" Role for Congress.
The Senate bill would give the
White House authority, unless Con-
gress objected officially within so
days, to coordinate, consolidate or
abolish any executive agencies ex-
cept the General Accounting Office.
Senator McCarran himself was
critical of this plan, saying it gave
Congress negative" role. Some
other committee members, however,
were reported willing to agree to
such watchdog" position.
Possible targets of any reorgani-
zation campaign are such independ-
ent agencies as the National Labor
Relations Board-which might be
transferred to the Labor Depart
ment-and the Smaller War Plants
Corp.-which might be absorbed by
the Commerce DEPARTMENT.
