Truman Likely 10 Start
Using Reorganization
Authority Monday
sy me Assecictsd Press

. President Truman probably will
begin using his new Government
reorganization power Monday, Of
f1cials said today.
Just what he win offer Congress
a. his first reorganization plan
remains to be settled. But d pro-
posal for shifting the Bureau of
Employment Security from the
Federal Security Agency to the
Labor Department was mentioned
rs Q very good bet.
Several Plans Ready.
A revamping Of the Civil Service
Commission was suggested as an
ether.
Presidential Press Secretary
Charles @. Ross said today that
MIR. Truman probably will sign the
reorganization act Monday. He
said half q dozen reorganization
plans will be submitted to Congress
soon after the signing-some Of
them probably Monday.
Mr.. Truman has said he has
several plans ready. In line with
recommendations Of the bipartisan
Hoover Commission on Govern
fnent Reorganization. But officials
noted that nothing can be done
before Monday because:
Cd The act giving the President
his new authority, passed only yes
terday, must be formally printed
before Mr.. Truman can sign 1t
into law; ca He can submit pro-
posals only on days when both
Houses Of Congress are in session,
and the House has adjourned for
the week end.
Mr.. Truman twice vainly pro-
posed to the Republican con-
trolled soth Congress the shifting
of the Employment Security Bu-
reau. This time he will have the
advantage Of q somewhat friend
lier Congress. The backing of
former President Hoover, and q
situation In which rising unem-
ployment Is causing some concern.
Must Act Promptly
The Bureau Of Employment Sc
curity includes the Unemployment
Compensation Commission, which
pays unemployment benefits. and
the United States Employment
Service, which places people in
Jobs. ii
Both the Hoover Commission
and Mr.. Truman have eontended
those agencies properly belong In
the Labor Department.
To make any of his proposals
effective, Mfr. Truman. must for
inally present them to Congress
at least go days before 1t ad-
journs-which means no proposal
he makes at this date can take
effect If Congress goes home in
the next two months.
NVSt WIN WAN CHbu 10CVs
The reorganization bill. passed
by Congress in q sudden burst Of
speed. provides that proposals sub
nftted ~ the President VIII Be
effective within 80 days unless
turned down by q majority Of the
members OF either the House or
Senate.
Since Congress is reluctant to
stay In session throughout the
muggy Washington summer. Ad-I
rninistration aides acknowledge
that the biggest batch Of reor-
ganization work will have to wait
until Congress comes back in 1850.
In any case, many Of the
recommendations made. by the |
Hoover Commission exist now only
in the form of broad suggestions
that must be backed up by de.
tailed plans and, in many cases.
by specific legislative proposals.
However, some Of these recon-
mendations may be wrapped up
into omnibus proposals instead Of
having to be sent to Congress

Bulgaria and Albania
Act Like 'Fascists,'
YugosIavia Charges
BY the Assooidted Press

BELGRADE. Yugoslavia, Mar.
26.-Two strong epithets used by
Communists-"Fascist" and "ad-
venturer"-cropped up today in
the quarrel between Yugoslavia
and two neighboring Cominform
states.
The words appeared in Yugo-
slavia's official press accounts of
the treatment accorded Yugoslav
citizens by Bulgaria and Albania.
In addition. Borba, the official
organ of the Communist party in
Yugoslavia. charged that a Bull
garian spy ring has been sending
agents across the Yugoslav border.
The newspapers said the agents
are dispatched Ito collect infor-
nation of military, economic and
political activities, and to spread
rumors"
Tension Increased.
These developments increased
the tension which started when
Yugoslavia and Marshal Tito fell
from the good graces of the Soviet
Union and the Cominform eight
months ago.
Today's article in Borba ac-
cused Bulgaria of using Fascist
methods in what it called the
persecution" of Yugoslav ma
tionals. The charge centered
around the Bulgarian trial at
which DR.. Cedomir Ilic and two
YugosIav students were sent to
prison for spying. Ilic was identl-
fled as the physician for the Yugo-
slav embassy in Sofia.
The paper charged that he was
"beaten and maltreated" and then
framed as spy. 1t also denounced
the trial as secret and said the
defendants were denied counsel
and that the Yugoslav embassy
was refused permission to send
observers.
Torture in Prison Charged.
This method is not new" the
paper said. 1T has been used pre-
viously by Fascists - and 1t
is used frequently by Albanian ad-
venturers. Bulgaria. like AL
bania, - has prosecuted and
tortured in prison many Yugoslavs
who refused to betray their coun-
try and defended truth about So
cialistic Yugoslavia
The strong language OF the
Official press is especially signlf1-
cant in that it was used in con-
nection with Soviet satellites.
Premier Marshal Tito is sched-
uled to make a major speech in
few weeks. Observers here believe
he may chart a new course for
Yugoslavia in East-W relations.
In Washington. Informed off,
cials said the United States is
easing trade restrictions on Yugo-
slavia in an effort to widen the
Tito-C -Cominform split.

Despite the peace maneuvers,
the Communists were continuing

southwest of Nanking. 1t is one
of the last important government
positions on the north bank of the
Yangtze River.
A government spokesman said
the Reds had been pushed back
to about 10 miles from Anking and
that Nationalist reinforcements
