future fighters and bombers, Mr..
Wilson announced. for continued
progress in aviation development

and taken on test operation flights,
with performance measurements
made by technicians inside the fly
ing laboratories.

Randolph 10 Fight
House Move 10 Block
Reorganization Plan
By Joseph Young

Chairman Randolph of the
House Civil Service Committee
announced today that he will
wage a vigorous fight" to block
a House veto of President Tru-
mans three plans to reorganize
the Government.
In fighting mood, Mr.. Randolph
who also is a member of the House
Expenditures Committee which on
Thursday voted out report reject
Ing Mr.. Truman's proposals, said he
would file minority report to the
committees findings some time next
week. MI. Randolph was one of the
three committee members who op-
posed the majority report. Ten
member voted for it.
when Congress last year en-
acted the Reorganization Act of
1945, was encouraged because I
thought that at last we would get
the much-needed revamping of
Government agencies that every
one agrees is so important" Mr.
Randolph said. Now, when plans
are submitted, some members of
Congress are more interested in
finding minor flaws in the proposals
as an excuse for rejecting them,
than they are in improving the
operation of Government"
The West Virginlan faced an uphill
fight as members of the committee
who voted to reject the plans pre-
dicted that the House would uphold
their stand.
Under the Reorganization Act Of
1945 the Presidents recommenda-
tions will become law unless both
the House and Senate adopt reso-
lutions expressing disapproval of
the proposals. The double veto must
be accomplished within so days after
Congress received the plans. Presi-
dent Truman submitted his pro-
posals May Is.
Chief opposition to the plans re-
suited from Mr.. Trumans proposals
to make permanent the National
Housing Agency and transfer Fed
eral health activities to the Federal
Security Agency. Also American
Federation of Government Employees
tAFLD strongly objected to the plan
to abolish the United States En-
ployes Compensation Commission
and transfer its functions to the
Security Agency The commission
acts on injury claims OF Federal
employees.
Senate to Resume Hearings.
Meanwhile. the Senate Judiciary
Committee will resume hearings on
the plans Tuesday The hearings
are expected to come to a close
next week.
Budget Bureau officials and repre-
sentatives from the General Ac-
counting Office are scheduled to ap-
pear to answer questions regarding
the economy and efficiency aspects
of the proposals Representatives
from business and professional
organizations have charged the plans
do not promote either economy or
efficiency and, if enacted, would tend
to "socialize" the housing industry
and the medical profession.

Congress Is Expected
To Investigate RFC
Accounting System
BY tbs Associated P-ess

by the Associated P:ess
A congressional investigation
of the Reconstruction Finance
Corps multibillton wartime op-
erations shaped up today after
the report of the General Ac-
counting Office that the RFC
docs not control it's $7,000,0 ,000,-
900 investment in properties"
Investigation-b bent lawmakers evi-
IDENTIFY were undeterred by RFC
protests that the agency was being
placed in a false light by the criti-
cism, when it actually was discharg-
ing its responsibilities in a satisfac-
tory fashion.
The GAO raised the question in
a report to Congress describing the
RFC situation as serious" and emu
merating specific examples of what
it termed failure of the account
ing function in RFC."
The report made no charge of
loss to the Government, but Rep
resentative Case. Republican, of
South Dakota told newsmen "the
conditions cited by the GAO seem
to leave the door open for ia
voritism.'
Manasco Favors Inquiry.
Chairman Manasco of the House
Expenditures Committee suggested
that the Banking Committee inves-
tigate RIGS wartime business. but
said, IF that committee does not
investigate, my committee will The
thing should be looked into"
II think the RFC itself is entitled
to an inquiry, to obtain clean bill
of health if they are entitled to it,"
the Alabamian added
RFC soon will be before the Bank
ing Committee, on bill to extend
its life beyond the June 80 expira-
ton date, and the matter of investi-
cation probably will be settled at
that time.
Charles B. Henderson, RFC chair
man. took up cudgels for his agency,
writing Chairman. Wagner of the
Senate Banking Committee:
THE GAO letter does not show
that RFC has failed to carry out its
responsibilities in a satisfactory
manner or that the Government
has suffered any loss whatsoever
because of the manner in which
RIGS affairs have been handled.
No Hint of Irregularities.
ut does not contain a single
statement indicating irregularities
or even any intimation of irregu-
larities in the operation of RFC.
However, in our opinion the
statements of the GAO are phrased
IN way which creates an entirely
unwarranted conclusion as to the
manner in which the affairs Of RFC
have been conducted"
/ The GAO report said:
Except insofar as the lending
activities are concerned. the ac-
counting records of the RFC COM
panies and the reporting record
keeping procedures underlying them
have not been utilized by the man
agement as an instrument of con-
troll over the assets and liabilities Of
:, the companies.
i Integrated Structure Urged.
mo complete determination of the
amounts actually invested in the
individual plant projects has ever
been made by the company, and no
accurate determination has been
possible under the accounting meth
DDS employed"
The report, prepared by T. Cole
man Andrews. director of the GAO
Adults Division, suggested that the
J position of controller IN the RFC
be created, with his functions being
fundamentally separate from those
of the treasurer" 1t also recon-
mended that RFC merge all of it's
activities and those of its subsid-
iaries Into an integrated structure
under single management.

Location Of Freeway
In Montgomery Still
Open Issue, Lee Says

E. Brooke Lee, vice chairman of
the Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, assured
Bradley Hills residents today that
location of the proposed Northwest
Freeway in Montgomery County
still remains open
Residents of the area have vigor-
ously opposed the action of the
county commissioners Tuesday in
approving funds for the purchase of
rights Of way along an 800-foot wide
strip OF territory between Macarthur
boulevard and Bradley boulevard,
declaring such route would pass
through the Bradley Hills develop
ment and destroy" their homes.
The entire question of the best
possible location for the actual road
way" Mr. Lee declared, continues
open to the advice of the people
OF Montgomery County, to future
decision of the county commission
ers, to recommendations from the
Park and Planning Commission and
TO subsequent decisions of the Mary
land State Roads Commission and
the Federal Bureau of Highways"
Action Held Preliminary.
He pointed out that in their reso-
luton Tuesday, the county commits
sloners only offered to furnish the
State Roads Commission with funds
to acquire a right of way that would
bear the approval of the Federal
Bureau OF Highways, the Maryland
State Roads Commission, the Park
and Planning Commission and the
majority of county residents who
have studied the proposal or who
are directly affected.
He emphasized that the planning
commission thus far has not ap-
proved any portion of the proposed
route and that the county commits
sioners continue willing to hold
hearings on the subject of the To-
cation Of the route prior to
advancing county funds for a right
of way"
Mr.. Lee recalled that severa,
months ago, the planning commits
sion authorized the expenditure of
$4,000 for an aerial and ground sur
vey of a proposed location of a
portion of the freeWay along Cabin
John Creek and Thomas branch.
May Back Original Plan.
Although representatives of the
Federal Bureau of Highways and
the State Roads Commission have
not approved this proposed loca-
ton, Mr.. Lee asserted that the
planning commission and the county
commissioners may study this pro-
posal further and may support it
if it is a proper location for the
freeWay.
At the same time, he warned that
unless a study of a proposed route
is completed promptly while land
in the western suburban area of the
county remains undeveloped. the
treeway will probably be lost for
ever"
He explained that interest was
focused on the Bradley Hills route
by the submission by several prop
erty owners of plans to build sub
divisions between Bradley boulevard
Evening star., 1946-04-12

and Massachusetts, avenue extended
IF the Park and Planning Com
mission approved these plans and
houses were built in these subdivi-
sions.' Mr.. Lee said, "the route that
has been surveyed would either cost
hundreds of thousands dollars more
to buy at some future date due to
the value of new houses and new
developments, or that route would
be lost to possible highway use for
ever"
