 From the Assistant Director of the Budget the House Committee on Expenditures heard good argument for giving the President broad and continuing power to overhaul and modernze the machinery of Federal Government This is enterprise capable not only of saving money but of increasing efficiency in many ways and in many places Congress is about to receive
 series of reports in this matter from the Commission Organization of the Executive Branch of the Gov ernment headed by Herbert Hoover which 1t created for the purpose of studying this very question The best assurance that the hard and useful work of MT. Hoover and his distinguished group of colleagues will go waste lies in giving the President authority to take advantage of the Commissions recommenda- tions.
 MT Truman does not ask unlimited power. Under his plan, Congress could turn down any pro- posed reorganization plan by voting it's disapprova at any time within sixty days after the plan submitted to it. This is sensible division of authority with the initiative in the hands of the Executive it should be- and the Legislature in position to scrlti nize. judge, and within it's own discretion exercise a veto.

 Then it was discovered that Jul ian was using the prestige given him by the White House Military Aide to promote a cigarette deal which would have netted Julian and friends S5,000,000.

According to Stevens, a new 10
page bulletin, Using 2, AID Safe
ly", has been issued by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, in
which scientists point out that the
discovery of 2, AID has brought
about completely new and revo-
lutionary concept of weed control.
Since 1945 it has become the most
widely used chemical weed killer
in the United States. Commercial
sales in 1e4S are estimated at more
than s million pounds.
Because 2, 4-D has the power to
kill many crops as well as weeds,
an understanding of this new sub
stance is essential to safe and ef-
fective use. The University of Del
aware,s Agricultural Experiment
Station conducted experiments this
past year on sweet corn and aspar-
agus, says Stevens, and while no
definite recommendations are
formulated as yet, many varieties
on trial proved superior to others.
The results of these experiments
are available from the Delaware
Agricultural Experiment Station.
