Reorganization Bill,
Passed by Senate,
Goes 10 Conference
~ the Asseeiossd Press

President Trumans plans TO
overhaul the executive branch OF
the Government have taken
long step nearer reality.
Senate and House conferees
were given the task Of ironing out
differences over Government re-
organization bills putting broad
new powers into the hands of Mr..
Truman.
The Senate whipped through a
bill yesterday TO match the action
taken earlier by the House.
There remained important dif-
ferences which had TO be settled
before a final bill could be sent
to the White House.
The Senate bill exempts no
Government agencies from the
Presidents power to reorganize.
And it would give either house
of Congress the right to veto by
simple majority vote.
House Bill Provision.
The House bill would require a
majority Of both the Senate and
House to override a reorganiza-
ton plan.
The House bill would exempt
seven Notwithstanding the
National Military Establishment
from any general reorganization.
They would have to be dealt
with separately. One of the biggest
fights has been over the House
plan to exempt the Army's Corps
Of Engineers in its work OF build
ing navigation and flood control
| projects.
Also, the House would not per-
NIT the President 10 establish any
new executive department or
designate any agency as a de-
partment headed by a secretary.
Both Mr.. Truman and former
President Herbert Hoover have
termed the legislation one of the
most important measures before
the 81st Congress = H.
AhICC DAAlUu SdfHu& oCCHs
AS head of the Hoover Com
mission on Reorganization of the
Executive Branch of Government.
Mr.. Hoover testified that If all
the commissions recommended
tions are followed American tax
payers should benefit by a $3,000.-
100000 saving in Government
economies.
The Hoover Commission, Gre
ated by the Republican controlled
80th Congress to study the whole
Federal setup, issued a series Of
reports blasting inefflciency, du-
plication and waste in the Gov
eminent and calling for a drastic
house cleaning.
Senate approval, by voice vote,
came after Senator Mcclellan,
Democrat, of Arkansas urged
quick action to get the Govern
ment on it's way to a program Of
economy.

The election is to fill the seat Of
Sol Bloom. Democratic Congress-
man from the district from 1924
until his death early this year.
Because of the bitterness of the
campaign. extra heavy police de-
tails were assigned to the polls.
Campaign orators have made
special appeals to various racial
and national groups in the goth

It has been a long time since a
local election here brought out
such a concentration Of political
manpower, loose spending and
bitter charges.
. Roosevelt and Shalleck forces
have accused each other of plot
ting to bring in "floaters" to steal
the election.
Tammany has charged Roose-

fathers name to win political
power. 1t says his campaign is a

Truman's recommendation that

Command Changes Expected.
The retirement Of Gen. Clay Is
expected to bring about several
major changes Of the high COM
mand of the Army.
The expected transfer Of Ger
man occupation administration to
q civilian high commissioner
makes the post of less importance
than during his incumbency.
However. for prestige purposes it
is probable that the United States
will find it advisable to assign q
full general to command Amer
ican forces in Europe-a post
which Gen. Clay held in addition
to the military governorship.
Gen. Mark Clark, now COM
manding the Sixth Army with
headquarters in San Francisco.
Calf, is most frequently menti-
oned for the post. If Gen Clark
goes to Germany it Is considered
probable that 1t. Gen. Clarence

commander on the departure OF
Gen, Clay. will succeed Gen. Clark.

FRANKNEss

Frankness is an admirable quality.
We run across it in private life. though not
as frequently as one may wish, but it is
rare thing in public life. We have known of
men serving in public office or candidates
for public office, who have vehemently de-
MED an accusation brought against them.
And then proof was produced to prove it
was true, thereby impugning the veracity
of the men who had been accused.
Membership in the Ku Klux Khan has
figured in many an accusation against men
in public office or aspiring for office, rang
ing all the way down from the United
States Supreme Court justices to consta-
bles. In almost every instance, there has
been hemming and having, in attempts to
sidestep the accusation, and in some in
stances there have been emphatic denials.
Governor Fuller Warren. on Tuesday,
set sort of example of super-frankness by
revealing that many years ago he had been
member of the XXX for short time No
body had accused the governor of having
tarily issued statement reeounting his
membership. He sad
Many years ago, after repeated re-
quests by friend, who said he received a
commission on each new membership pro-
cured by him, paid So for membership in
the Ku Klux Klan attended two or three
meetings. was so Disguised by the quar-
reling, wrangling and fussing l never at
tended another meeting.
Il never wore hood, never marched
in one of the Klan's cowardly parades,
never took part in any of the Klan's brand
ings, beatings, whippings,, torturings or
lynchings.''
No adult, man or woman, can say
truthfully he has not done anything he re-
grets having done. Many of us wish we
could turn back the clock to change this
or that act, performed in an unwary
moment. No man is perfect, and it is re-
freshing when one frankly admits he made
a mistake.

U. s. COMMUNISTS FOR RUSSIA

The top leaders of the Communist
Party in the United States have followed
the example Of the Communistic leaders
lu. France. Italy. Germany and Great
Britain in declaring that they will op-
IspG ian unjust. aggressive, imperialst
war" on the part of the United States.
The Communists say that if, despite
efforts az peace. Wall Street should sue
ceed In plunging the world into war;"
they would regard il as an "undemo-
cratic and an anti-socialist war, destruc-
tire q the deepest interest of the Ameri-
can people and all humanity" and that
they would. therefore, cooperate with
"ali democratic forces to defeat the pred
atafy war aims of American imperialism
and bring such war to a speedy con-
rlusion on the basis of a democratic
peace"
The Communist declaration means, of
course, that the leaders would regard any
var between the United States and Rus
sia as a war Of aggression and imperial
Ism on the part of this country. Naturally,
The leaders would determine for them
selves whether "Wall Street" had plunged
the world into the war and it requires no
son of a prophet TO know what their con-
illusions would be in this respect. They say
that they base their opposition on the
example Of Lincoln who, while a Con-
Fressmap. opposed the unjust, annexation
isi Mexican War and demanded its termin-
alton"
. The declaration of the Communist
etfrs Is not very important because, in
The event Of war. the chances are rather
slim that any considerable portion of the
pafslation Of this country would follow
lhe program they announce. There was

NOTHING IMPORTANT so FAR

A brief announcement in Moscow.
telling that Foreign Minister Molotov had
been replaced by Deputy Foreign Minis
ter Vishinsky, without any official ex-
PLANTATION of the change, caused 'Ameri-
can newspaper men and radio commenta-
tors to go into highly speculative fever.
The radio and the press emphasized
how the capitals of the world were specu-
lating ''feverishly'' upon the significance
of the change in Moscow and so-called
experts used thousands and thousands of
words of copy and oratory to tell the
public about the shift in Russia's official
lineup, with sideline comment and guess
work as to what impends in the Russian
capital
News must be much more difficult to
obtain than we had thought. What hap
pens in Moscow can be awaited without
any sensational conjectures as to shift
in personnel About the most sensible
comment came from Senators Arthur H.
Vandenberg, of Michigan, and Tom Con-
nally, of Texas, who agreed that no ac-
curate appraisal of the incident would be
possible until further developments.
This commonsense conclusion, which
ought to be apparent to everybody, did
not put an end to the frenzy of 'if-ing''
which filled the air and the press One
would think, if one knew no better, that
the welfare and progress of the people of
the United States depended upon the
ukases that issue from the Communist
capital.
