Gibson Memorial Plan
Aids Building Drive Of
Children S Hospital

The Children's Hospital drive to
raise 81 800 900 for a new building is
expected to receive new impetus
from an auxiliary campaign, an
nounced last night. to establish in
the building a permanent tribute
to Miss Matte M. Gibson. superin-
tendent emeritus.
Contributions of $1,7S9 already
have been received for the Gibson
memorial, authorities said.
One Of the first contributions from
former Children's Hospital patients
who knew Miss Gibson during her
long period as superintendent was
from two-year-old Mary Ann Arm
strong.
The girl, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Armstrong. 926 Ninth
street NV, came to the hospital
yesterday with her mother to bring
the donation.
Born without Bile Duct.
She was born without a normal
bile duct, and underwent a major
operation at the age Of two months
at Children's Hospital. Authorities
said she stayed at the hospital a
year, often close to death, before re-
covering.
"A day never passed that Miss
Gibson did not minister to this little
girl" reported Admiral G. r. Train,
director of the Children's Hospital
building fund drive
Miss Gibson was at the bedside
of hundreds of i'll children during
her 20 years of service to the hos
pital. She was never too tired or
too. busy to answer the calls from
her countless young patients"
Hospital authorities say Mary Ann
was so fond of Miss Gibson that
she would often not eat unless she
fed her.
Retired Year Ago.
Miss Gibson, who retired a year
ago, is now visiting a sick friend In
Texas.
The form of the tribute to her In
the new hospital will depend on the
sum of money raised for that pur-
pose. but it is expected that a room
will be dedicated to the former su-
perintendent.
The Children's Hospital building
drive is now only s15,s42 short of
its original goal Of $1,300,000.

to Great Britain: and Senators
Aiken, Republican, Of Vermont. and
Mcclellan, Democrat, Of Arkansas.
Sees Congress Receptive.
Any changes the commission
might recommend would require
legislation before becoming law.
MIR. Browp was optimistic that Con-
gress would be receptive.
II saw this Congress re-organize
itself, under the pressure Of public
opinion" he observed, "and I think
we'll see some results from this COM
mission, If the public gets behind 1t. !"
He suggested an "easier" shortcut,
however. Under the Re-organiza-
ton Act Of 1945, any reorganization
proposed by the President becomes
law in 60 days, unless both houses
of Congress disapprove. BY this
route, Mr.. Truman's plan to unity
the housing agencies became law.
II think the easiest and simplest
thing would be for the President to
adopt these ideas of ours and send
them to Congress as Presidential
reorganization plans Mr.. Brown
said.

tions are expected to carry con-
siderable weight with Congress, not
only because of the prestige OF its
members, but because its findings
will not be suspect on political
grounds. Six Democrats and six
Republicans make up the panel.
MIR. Truman, the Speaker Of the
House and the presiding officer OF
the Senate each designated four
members-two Democrats and two
Republicans. The commission Will
set up a staff.
Mr.. Truman appointed Secretary
Of the Navy Forrestal, Dean Ache
son, former Undersecretary Of State ;
Arthur s. Fleming, Civil Service
commissioner; and George H: Mead,
Dayton (Ohio) induStrialist.
Speaker Martin chose Mr. Hoover,
Representative Brown, Representa-
tive Manasco, Democrat, OF Ala
bama, and James H. Rowe, assistant
to Attorney General Clark.
Senator Vandenberg, Senate Pres
ident, named DR.. James K. Pollack
of the University of Michigan; JOS

Reorganization Effort
By Congress Is Seen
Before Saturday
By the Assoeioted Press

A new effort to moderniZe the
Federal Government will get under
way before Congress closes shop on
Saturday.
Representative Brown. Repubn-
can, of Ohio has predicted that
funds will be voted readily for the
12-member Commission on Organ
ization of the Executive Branch of
the Government" probably to be
headed by former President Hoover.
Mr.. Brown, one of the sponsors
OF the plan, is asking for 81 ,000, 900
now but expects that the 18-month
study will require more. The COM
missions findings and recommended
tions will be reported to the Eighty
first Congress in January, 1949.
The Ohio lawmaker said most
members of the bipartisan COM
mission agree that Mr.. Hoover
should be chairman.
''Mr. Hoover feels that this will
be his last public service" Mr.
Brown told a reporter. 1T was
rather difficult to prevail on him
to accept place on the commits
sion"
President Truman, he said. will
convene. the commission early in
September at the White House.
The joint congressional resolution
authorizing the study, sponsored by
Mr.. Brown and Senator Lodge. Re-
publican, Of Massachusetts,, sets a
more ambitious goal than most past
attempts to improve the workings
of the Governments 1,141 agencies
and bureaus.
Besides the aims of cutting ex-
penses, eliminating Implications and
consolidating similar functions, Con-
gress has given the commission
broad instructions to make recon-
mendations on:
% The outright abolition OF any
services and functions it finds url-
necessary.
o. Defining and limiting" Of
Executive functions, services and
activities. Commission members take
this to mean the elimination OF
Federal services which they say
agencies gradually have assumed
through the years without express
authority from Congress.
The commissions recommends

land Watts, acting national
secretary of the Workers Defen-

to the governor and mayor. THE
convention resolved not only to
campaign for repeal for our city
law barring racial discrimination
against tenants, but to fight a
gainst he enactment of local laws
preventing those who might pro-
mote large developments of hous-
ing the lower tenants"
Top real estate and mortgage
executive admitted to reporters
that private housing projects in
volving' many millions of dollars
had been halted because of tie

the Real Estate Board Of New
York stated bluntly to Herman T.

Toner, that no moderate rent hous-
ing projects will be undertaken by
private interests while our city
law is on the books. After the

upon the mayor and governor to
issue strong public statements
exposing how these real estate
interests r taking advantage of
the present housing shortage to
try to put over their Nazi housing
plans" and to combat their cam
paign by urging that other cities
and the state adopt legislation
similar to ours" Finally it calls

lated Otis King, chef deputy of
C~arrollton, Ga. who barricaded
himself in the county Jail to avert
the lynching of Eddie Brown Jr.,
Negro accused of numbering a

IF southern law officers acted
likewise, they would be going a
long way toward eliminating those
outbreaks of racial mob violence
which put our section of the coun-

Felmet recently sent a similar
