your way up in bureaucracy. And if, in addition to minding the baby you can develop little talent as a cook or a butler and yard man, old age and possible unemployment need offer no terrors.
 Why even working as a Western Union messenger or as a cub re- porter in newspaper office, which used to be the most transitory jobs in teh world, offer steadier employ ment than the government these days. ,s
 When even Harry Hopkins re- signs. then you know nothing is sure.
 Latest of these resignations, of course, is Secretary of the Treas ury Henry w. Morgenthau's.
 When Fred Vinson moves in, he will no doubt want to reorganize completely. That's what they all do, from President Truman on down.
 Truman has asked Congress for authority to reorganize the whole government Set-up, and though Congress has shown no hurry about granting his request, there just couldn't be more reorganization than is going on all over town right now. The place is like a circus grounds after the big show has struck its tents at midnight to move on to the next town. You don't see how they'll ever get it together again.
 Advent of Justice James F. Byrnes as Secretary of State has started a flock of rumors of forthcoming Wholsale reorganization.
 JITTERS FOR JOB-HOLDERS
 One department of government and many job holders are jumpy about their future. Generally for gotten is the fact that the Depart ment of State has already been re- organized twice in the last IS months, once in January, 1914, and again in December when Secretary Edward R. Stettinius took over with his team
 Part of the big scramble in State Department now is to try to get taken along to London, when Stet- tiniuS goes there to work on the interim United Nations Organiza- tion. Any of the Stettinius team that gets let out may try to tag along to UNO, unless such action is vetoed by the President and Byrnes.
 Secretary of Commerce Henry Wallace, who has been toying with reorganization of his department since he took office last January, still isn't ready to announce his plans and won't be for a month or two. Shortly after Wallace took over he asked every division chief for an outline of projects then being work ed on. These are being studied as the basis for the Wallace reshuffle. ANDERSON HIRES NEW AIDES
 Department of Agriculture's ab- sorptlon of War Food Administra- ton under the new. Secretary Clin- ton P. Anderson is having no i'm mediate effects. People who had been working for WFA will in gen. eral go on doing the same things they did before, only as employees og the Department of Agriculture. Not to be overlooked, however, is the 1act that Secretary Anderson has brought back to Washington Milton Eisenhower, E. w. Gaumitz and Jerry Thorne, all former employees of the department, to work out a complete reorganization of that far flung bureaucracy.
 Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach has a similar group planning reorganization of the De- partment of Labor. Schwellenbach's passes at bringing other labor agen- cles under his wing have of course created a certain amount of un- certainty in National Labor Rela- tlons Board, War Labor Board, War Manpower Commission and Social security Board. Incidentally, NLRB itself has a new chairman in Paul M. Herzog.
 Only Harold Ickes and his De- partment of the Interior proceed in unrufled peace and quiet, the last vestige of the New Deal, the only thing to cling to in a city of shift Ing sands where the one constant is eternal change.
