 The Hoover Commissions" report was plan of bat tle It drawn up amid intense controversies within the 12-man bipartisan commission itsef-as revealed by the many dissenting recommendatons-bu the ma jOrty did agree program for recognizing the ecutive branch of the government.
 Now the battle lines will form in Congress. But much of the program be quietly adopted by the President and his agency chiefs the President wishes to do The Budget Bureau has made tentative analysis of the commissions reports and has estimated that they tain about 277 recommendations It has figured that about 89 of them be put into effect by executive departmental orders Congress would have to act the rest.
 By passing the pending Reorganization Act of 1949, about 66 recommendations could be adopted The Pres dent could make extensive shifts in the present. Seup He could do such things as transfer the Coast Guard from Treasury to Commerce; place the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corp, the Export-Import Bank and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp within Treasury The commission recommended these changes
 The Reorganization Act has passed the House. The House bill exemps certain agencies from any general reorganization plan but provides that each plan sub mitted by the President shall go into effect within 60 days t not diSapprOVed by both Houses of Congress- The Senate version, now pending the Senate calen dar, contains exemptions, but provides that resolu ton of disapprova by either of the two Houses kill any plan submitted.
 The Budget Bureau analysts believe that r of the 277 recommendations would require appropriation leg isation AS for the remaining 105 recommendations, in the opinion of bureau experts Congress would have to pass laws dealing specifically with them.
 Under this heading would come the commission S proposal that accountant general be established supervise all accounting in the executive branch the creation of welfare department and the author ity for department heads to appoint postmasers and other officials under the rank of assistant secretary without Senate confirmation.
 Many bills being prepared by executive agencies to provide the legislation required The staff of the Hoover Commission itself is drafting about IA bills to provide the legislation believes necessary The commission also is in favor of the passage of the Reor ganzaton Act, although it wants agencies exempted.
