At Least q BEGINNING

The House Executive Expenditures
Committee deserves commentator
for it's unanimous report favoring
legislation giving the President the
authority, for which he asked last
May, to bring about the urgently
needed reorganization of the execu-
tive agencies of government.
The bill seems to be in substantial
agreement with what the President
wants and needs in undertaking a
necessarily complicated task. His
powers are curtailed to the extent
that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, the Federal Trade Commits
sion and the Securities and Ex-
change Commission - three semi
judicial agencies-are exempt from
any reorganization plan, while any
plan affecting the Civil Service
Commission, the Federal Communi-
cations Commission, the Tariff Com
mission and the Veterans Admins
tration must be submitted separately
to Congress and not embodied in
any general reorganization. But so
much can be done without affecting
these agencies that the limitations
are not too important, insofar as
they concern reorganization, and
may be wise because of other con-
siderationS.
The important principles of the
legislation are those which permit
the President to initiate reorganiza-
ton and make it effective unless
Congress, by joint resolution, vetoes
any plan within sixty days; and the
new powers conferred on the Presi-
dent to abolish functions" of agen-
cies, instead of merely transferring
them. This last is highly important.
AS Controller General Warren stated
in his testimony. Congress can set
up a bureau for the edifcation of
the Three Blind Mice or for the re-
habilitation of Humpty Dumpty, and
within year those who head them
can come in with glowing accounts
of their work" What is needed, as
he said, is real study by the Presi-
dent to determine what can be got
rid of-and without affecting any,
thing save useless jobs.
The Senate Judiciary Committee,
which has the reorganization bill
under study, probably will write into
It's legislation the same or even
broader restrictions on the Presi-
dents powers concerning the twenty
one independent, or quasijudicial
agencies. 1t will be mistake if these
limitations 60 too far. For while
any one can understand hesitancy
in Congress to give the President a
blank check" in reorganization,
sufficient safeguards against unWise
use of his powers already lie in the
congressional veto. Too many re-
strictions in the legislation merely
tend to handicap the President in
what he can do. The people of the
country are going to demand less
costly and more efficiently func-
tioning government in Washington.
They are not nearly so concerned
about protecting sacred cows in the
executive agency as some of the
members of Congress seem to think
they are. Enactment of legislation
should be expedited, so that a start
can be made on the necessary job
of government reconversion to econ
omy and common sense as soon as
possible.

Spring housekeeping is the
time to lay the groundwork for
simpified cleaning throughout the
year.
This means not only general
cleaning of the entire house and
its furnishings. 1t means taking
stock of all household equipment
and Encouragement for more
efficiency and comfort wherever
possible. 1t means also protec-
ton of house furnishings against
dust and deterioration, so that the
future upkeep is simpler.
Now is the time for thorough
polishing of all polished wood sur
faces - to brighten the finish ard
bring out lasting beauty,

with any liquid polish.
First, be sure the surface is
thoroughly clean.
Then, using a clean, soft cloth.
apply a small amount of polish ard
allow it to stand for few moments.
Now rub (along the grain, Of
course) with another cloth until
the polish disappears.
Rub some more, with a clean
flannel polishing cloth, until the
surface takes on a satiny finish
If polished woods are given this
thorough attention with liquid
furniture polish at spring and fall
housekeeping time, and possibly
again just before the holidays, all
that should be necessary in be-
tween is frequent rubbing with a
flannel cloth to bring out the beauty
of the wood itself.

RURAL TELEPHONE
SERVICE

'''Ehe intensive program for extending
service to farm families, which was be.
ing carried on before the war, will be
resumed as quickly as possible. Rural
telephone service in this country is al.
ready more highly developed than in any
other. Despite this, the telephone indus
try would like to see many more farms
with telephones. To bring this about,
the Bell System has developed important
new facilities and methods. High-strength
steel wire, permitting longer distances
between poles, reduces the cost of ex-
tending lines into areas not previously
covered. A method of sending telephone
messages over rural electric power lines
was under development by Bell Tele-
phone Laboratories before the war and
it is clear that a successful system of this
kind can be produced. These and other
improvements, including possible appli-
cation of radio to reach remote spots,
promise substantial postwar increase
in the number of farms having telephone
service"

 His was a political career which would be hard to match for length of years and eminenoe under any form of government. There is just one better English record set by man named w. E. Gladstone who retired from public life in 1894 after 62 years in the House of Commons. He 85 when he stepped down. isf fk fl+f fU
 Here in America of our own statesmen re- gently celebrated his eightysevent birthday He is, of course Senator Carter Glass the Virginian whose public career dates back to his election to the upper house of the Virginia Legislature in 1899.
 And here in Alaska, the members of own Senate even though our Legislature has been in existence only 32 years, beginning to look more like Senators The word, Senate, dates back to the early days of Rome when the actual business affairs of the city were placed the hands of two consuls who were assisted by a council of Elders called the Senate because the word "senex" means an old man and today elder statesman.
 The manner in which the Senate organized and set to business yesterday is tribute to the legislative skill gained through many years of service by such of Aaska's elder staesmen Norman Doe Walker O.
