Reorganization Plans
To Face Opposition al
Hearings Next Week

Congressional hearings are in
prospect next week on President
Truman's Government-reorgan-
ization proposal which went to
the Capitol yesterday.
At the same time. some opposi-
ton was developing to the proposal,
which would be broadened to in
clude the District government with
in its provisions-under q bill Of
fered by Senator Mcclellan. Demo-
Graf, Of Arkansas.
The reorganization legislation
would replace q similar measure
which expired last year. It would
give the President permanent au-
thority to revamp executive agen-
cies and Mr.. Truman asked that IL
cover every unit instead Of making
exceptions. as was done in the re-
organization laws Of 1899 and 1s45.
Chairman Dawson Of the House

group perhaps would start hearings
next week.

the Senate Expenditures Commit
tee. which Is expected to handle
the legislation in the Senate, said
that by including the District gov
eminent within its scope, 1t would
be possible to do something about
the cumbersome" municipal setup
He stressed, however, that his bill
would not permit home rule to be
established under the presidential
powers.
In his message on reorganization
yesterday, the President said legiS-
lation was needed to implement the
recommendations that will be forth
coming from the Hoover reorganiza-
ton commission.
It would empower the President
to put these proposals into effect
through executive order, which
could only be overriden by joint &C.
ton OF Senate and House.

Commerce Committee told a re-
porter he will be surprised If Mr..

worried about Police supt. Robert

by standees on the sidewalk, can
forget about 1t. The stands will be

had no authority to keep people Oh
the sidewalk between the stands
and the curbs. Since the top Of
many stands Is only four feet high
the view of thousands would be
blocked, he said. However, J. c,
Turner, in charge Of grandstand
construction, said the stsands had
been built back only to keep the
sidewalks open for preinaugural
use. They will be moved up even
with the curbs today, he said.

Communism Is Challenge.
This region includes some coun-
tries now torn by bitter civil strife.
For each of these, though the
struggle may take different forms
today, the menace of communism
is the ultimate challenge. Co.
operation between them and their
neighbors is therefore as indis-
pensable to future joint security
throughout the area as it is at
present difficult to establish.
India's statesmen, for instance.
well understand that their most
urgent problems are economic.
They know that the standard of
life of a nation and its confidence
in future material progress have
their part to play in resistance to
communism. Spiritual forces must
take the lead, but man needs food
as we'll as freedom.
I received in India the utmost

I could have wished, but even in

impression: India is a country
with a firm consciousness of the
