State teDeparfmenf Plan
To Group All Functions
By Geography Studied
By Gornett D. Homer

Some IS or 40 of the State De.
partment's 100-odd divisions anc
ofices may be abolished under a re.
organization plan now under study
1t was learned yesterday.
The tentative plan would involve
the most extensive changes in the
way the department operates since
reorganizations under former Secre.
taries Of State Hull and Stettinius
in 1914 greatly increased the mum.
Der OF divisions and added two new
assistant secretaries.
There is no certainty that the
program being considered now will
be put into effect since no top-level
decisions have been reached on 1t
1t is expected to be put up tc
Secretary Of State Marshall for de-
cision soon.
To Merge Functions.
The major change contemplated
would be designed to realign re-
sponsibllities for day-to-day carry
ing out Of foreign policy on q "ver-
tical" rather than a horizontal
basis, through bringing functional
divisions into the departments ira
ditional political Offices on q geo.
graphic area basis.
The present set-up, with various
divisions handling economic and
foreign information programs on a
functional basis separate from the
political Offices, tends to make for
some confusion of responsibility. y
Political relations with all other
countries come under the super
vision Of Assistant Secretary Nor
man Armour, while Assistant Secre-
tary Willard L. Thorp directs the
handling of economic relations: The
foreign information program comes
under another assistant secretary,
post soon to be filled by George v.
Allen.
To Group on Geographic Basis.
The projected reorganization plan
would bring together all the func-
tions going into carrying out policy
IN relation to other nations, divided
on q geographic area basis under
four assistant secretaries-one each
for Europe, the Far East, Latin
America and the Near East. Eco
nomic and information area divi-
sions would be brought under them
along with the political divisions.
Such consolidation, it is estimat-
ed, would eliminate more than IS
per cent of the separate divisions
and ofices now on the depart
ment's organization chart.
Under this plan, Assistant Sec
retary Thorp would continue to
deal with economic problems on
a worldwide basis. leaving the
country desks" under the area"
assistant secretaries to carry out
the policies in relation to specific
countries.
To Shift Assistant Secretaryships,
Mr.. Allen, as Assistant Secretary
for public affairs, would supervise
international broadcasting activ-
tiles and other phases of the in
formation program, under policies
worked out by the AREA" political
Offices.
The plan contemplates abolishing
the existing post of Assistant secre-
tary for transport and communica-
tion problems, and using the
authorization Tor that post to create
one Of the new AREA" assistant
secretarysfips. @@5 +
Legislation by Congress to create
two new assistant secretaryships
would be required to put the plan
into effect.

Montana Democrat
Joins in Complaints on
Truman Arrangements
BY the As.oeiotsd Press

BUTTE, Mont, June 8.-Arrange-
ments for President Truman's visit
here tonight are bringing every
thing from complaints to commen-
dations from prominent Montana
Democrats.
And the Republicans are making
the best of it.
1t started when State Democratic
Chairman Lester H. Lobe of Helena
said party members were hot under
the collar" because they won't be
allowed on the presidential train
when it goes through the State.
He sent a wire to Nebraska
Democratic Party Chairman Will
liam Ritchie. 1t said, in part:
Treatment accorded your commit
tee and Iowa and Nebraska Demo-
Gratis on occasion Of President Tru-
mans visit is same as we are re-
ceiving. We are given no part in
ARRANGEMENTS, and have been ad-
vised that none of us will be per-
mitted on Presidents train"
Last night, Mr.. Loble said he had
nothing to add" to his telegram,
except: Our delegation was in
structed to vote for Mr.. Truman" >"
Asked to comment here, Charles
Murray, son of Senator Murray,
Democrat, of Montana, said:
Il have checked carefully and
found no one complaining about Mr..
Truman's desire to visit Montana
without reference to political con-
siderations
An earlier comment on Mr..
Loble's action came from Cascade
County Republican Chairman Will
liam F. Browning at Great Falls.
Said he:
The Democrats have been riding
planes, trains, buses and driving
their own cars on Government ex-
pense accounts in a thousand need
less jobs in Montana since 1928.
They naturally resent the Presi-
dents fat refusal to punch free
train tickets for them on another
iunket over Montana"

in high food cost. Adequate meat
supply (which means tolerable
prices) is dependent upon the
amount of grain available for
feed. A record crop of corn this
year will do much to help the
truly intolerable situation, though
time must elapse before the re-
suits can be felt. The immediate
effect is an even greater shortage
as producers willard probably
should-hold their animals for
feeding. 1t is generally held that
it will be February 1949 and later
before fat animals will or can be
shipped to markets. No question
but that the meat situation is bad
today, and natures time schedules
for animal production are beyond
mans control.
