+tude in NLRB instead of relying
on q clash Of authority within the
agency.
Congress already had before it
reorganization plans covering the
Post Office Department, the Civil
Service Commission, and the Gen.
eral Accounting Office. Each of
these has run into stiff objections,
but on balance it seems, to us
that the Hoover recommendations
merit approval.
Most of the new plans are con-
cerned with streamlining author
ity. They would end t h e indie
pendent status of several agen-
cies and place them under various
department heads. They would
also give the chairmen of several
boards more authority for day-to-
day administrative action. Both
projects are in line with methods
followed in business and in the
armed forces, where a chain of
command is set up to get action
and fix responsibility.
Aside from its ear for opposi-
ton of specialinterests. Congress
may have a basic objection to
these developments. 1t has some
natural desires to keep indie
pendent agencies directly de-
pendent upon itself. 1t has also
some fears of a powerful execu-
tive overbalancing the legislative
department. There may be special
circumstances which would make
these considerations outweigh the
advantages t h e Hoover Com
mission saw in logical and effici-
ent arrangement of administra-
ton. But the burden of proof is
on Congress in this matter. Its
own weaknesses should not stand
in the way of good administra-
tive practice. Its best course is to
press on with reforms of itself
which will give it the efficiency
and power required to balance a
strong executive. Christian Sci

sion was approved by Congress
last year. Now Congress has be.
fore it enough additional plans
President Truman has just sub.
mitted 21-to complete half OF
the whole program.
But to carry t h rough the
Hoover reforms m o r e vigorous
and informed public support will
be required.
This is not to say that all
phases of the Hoover repor
should be approved without ques-
ton. The commission itself was
not unanimous on many points,
and careful examination is
certainly in order. But, as Mr..
Truman says, the program offers
hope of progress toward more
effective, economical. and re-
sponsible government"
However, nearly every reform
is now running into strong oppo-
sition from special interests which
rightly or wrongly wish to pre-
vent changes. It is a mistake to
think that the main obstruction
comes from "bureaucrats. Usu-
ally the most effective opposition
arises f r o IN business interests
which deal with the departments
of government affected. Thus it
is shipping interests who protest
most strongly the plan to shift
control of the merchant fleet from
the Maritime Commission to the
Secretary of Commerce.
Similarly, chief opposition to
the proposal to make the general
counsel of the National Labor Re-
lations Board subject to the board
comes from employers. They feel
that a semi-independent counsel

Nehru 10 Visit Bengal
To Investigate Riots
And Mass Migrations
By the Associated Press

NEW DELHI, India, Mar. q
Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru
announced to Parliament today
that he will visit Bengal in a few
days to investigate personally a
critical situation brought on by
bloody communal rioting and mass
migrations of terror stricken peo-
Pile.
Sources close to Mr.. Nehru said
the Prime Minister of India's West
Bengal. B. C. Roy. wanted to meet
him personally to discuss in detail
a situation on the Indian and
Pakistani sides of the Bengal bor-
der which has worsened relations
between the two countries.
| Another indication of the
worsening relations came with a
charge by Mr.. Nehru in Parlia-
ment that the Pakistani govern
ment banned Is correspondents of
an Indian news agency, the Press
Trust of India. They were cover
ing the events in Pakistan's East
Bengal.
Wired Pakistan Premier.
Mr.. Nehru said he wired Paki-
stani Prime Minister Liaquat Ali
Khan two days ago demanding an
explanation of the action, but re-
ceived no answer. Presumably
Pakistan did not tell India Just
why the correspondents were
banned.
Some Indian officials said pri-
vately Pakistan took the step to
prevent detailed reports of the
East Bengal rioting from reaching
India. 1t is possible the Pakistani
government felt that reports. of
one riot often led to others by
inciting reprisals, particularly if
such reports are of an inf1amma-
tory nature.
Mr.. Nehru Also said three Paki-
stan correspondents of Calcutta
papers were ordered to submit

their dispatches to the East Paki-
stan government before filing. He
said two Indian correspondents
were arrested without charge in
January. One was released in
bail. The other still is held, he
said.
Much of today's Parliament
session was taken up by questions
concerning the Bengal rioting.
Disorders began almost i'm
mediately after the two nations
were created in 1947 and given
their independence from Britain.
Added to the historic ill-feeling
between minority groups-particu-
larly.- Moslems and Hindus-are
worsening economic difficulties
which have caused a kind of
chain reaction of bitterness.
Mounting tension has brought
repeated clashes between Hindus
and Moslems in recent weeks with
the death toll reaching into hun
dreds.
The trouble is centered mostly
in the Bengal area. which was
split up in the partition with East
Bengal going to Pakistan and West
Bengal going to India.

Performs 500 Autopsies a Year.
Attorney. General William l.
Phinney next called DR.. Halpern
DR.. Helpern said he performs
approximately 500 autopsies a
year and has performed about
10000 during his medical career.
DR.. Helpern described three
kinds of embolisms and used a
large blackboard in his testimony
When a blood clot is formed ..nd
is carried to the circulatory sys-
tenn through pulmonary artery
this is called pulmonary embolism,
he related.
The second one, he said, occurs
after an injury when the tissue is
crushed and oil droplets are
formed, pass through the body,
and reach the lung, brain or heart.
The third type, he said, is an
air embolism, when air finds it's
way into the veins and is carried
by the circulatory system to the
heart.
DR.. Helpern figured in the trial
six years ago of Attorney John F..
Noxon, convicted of numbering
his mentally deficient son.
DR.. Helpern said he was present
January 81 when the exhumed
body of Mrs. Borroto underwent
an autopsy.
Extensive Clots Found.
He said the autopsy revealed
she was emaciated, riddled with
cancer over wide area of her
body and also suffered from
pneumonia at the time of her
death.
There were extensive blood clots
in her legs and pelvis, the doctor
said, but there was mo evidence
any of these clots had broken off
to form an embolus from that
area"
DR.. Halpern said her left arm
had a series Of needle punctures
just above the wrist and another
puncture just below the fold in
the elbow.
He said the veins in that area
had been removed and found to
be clear all the way to the heart.
I'm your opinion would that
puncture just below the fold of
the elbow be consistent with hav-
ing been made on December 4?''
asked Mr.. Phinney.
"It could be possible that it
was made December T." the doc
tor answered. ut also could have
been made at Some other time" "
The State charges that the
puncture in Mrs. Borroto's elbow
area was made December 4 by a
fatal dose of air in the veins.

country doctor.
At the end of a long hypothetical
question, DR.. Helpern said:
In my opinion death was caused
by an air embolism resulting from
the injection of 40 CO.'S of air."
That is the amount of air the
State charges DR.. Sander injected
into Mrs. Borroto's arm last De-
cember in a gesture of mercy to
end the agony of her cancer.
DR.. Halpern said:
"The basis for my opinion is
that 40 cubic centimeters of air
represents substantial quantity
If injected rapidly and would be
carried into the heart and pull
monary artery" .-,.
No Air Shown by Autopsy.
The prosecution medical expert
testified that while the autopsy
could not disclose presence Of all
it was significant in that it didn't
reveal any other cause of death
which would have necessarily
caused as rapid a death at the
time death occurred"
Earlier DR.. William j. King o1
Gambia, DR.. Sanders home town
testified that DR.. Sander told him
Mrs. Borroto's eyes were "oper
and staring" when he injected all
into her veins. DR.. King said the
conversation occurred in the
Christina Parker House, the ma
ternity division of Elliot Hospita,
in Manchester.
DR.. King said that after "pre-
liminary conversation DR.. Sander
brought up "the case" without CIV
ing the name of the patient. He
said DR.. Sander referred to the
case as the terminal stage o1
cancer" He testified further that
DR.. Sander told him that before
the alleged air injection he was
dosing the patient with drugs at
half-an-hour intervals.
"The only other thing I recall,
said DR.. King, "was that DR.
Sander said that before the injec-
ton of air the patient was very
still, her eyes open and staring
