Public Administration
Session 70 End After
Today's Conferences

The American Society for Pub
lie Administration is closing its
annual conference here today after
discussing the reorganization ef-
forts of little Hoover Commits
sions" in n States.
Subjects to be taken up in final
meetings at the Hotel Statler to-
day include improvement OF de-
partmental management and the
problems Of persons shifting from
universities to Government sery-
ice.
Carter w. Atkins. chairman of
the Commission on State Govern
first a little Hoover Commission"
commented on the report of his
group. He said the report-the
first a "little Hoove rCommission"
has made-seeks to strengthen the
legislature. reorganize the execu-
tive and judiciary branches and
modernize the State constitution.
He declared it seeks to place
responsibility in the Governor for
carrying out legislative wishes by
permitting him to pick his own
personnel.
Warning the State commissions
Robert L. L. Mccormick, repre-
senting the Citizens Committee
for the Hoover Report, said it is
important to have research for
hard-hitting facts. He warned
there must be no political deci-
Sions in research. Information
must go to the people through
speakers bureaus, cartoons, news
releases. radio programs and other
media, he said.
Arnold Miles, Budget Bureau
official who served as executive
director of the Puerto Rico Com
mission for Reorganization, ex-
planned that groups job. He in
sisted that "gobbledegook" does
not translate into Spanish, so the
final report was worded simply
and printed in both English and
Spanish.
Another panel session yesterday
was told notable progress has been
made in setting up Government
workers merit systems in the
States. Albert H. Aronson. direc-
tor State Merit System Service,
Federal Security Agency, pointed
out numerous unsolved problems.
Thomas A. Morgan, chairman
OF the Presidents Advisory Com
mittee on Management Improve

coming reality-

1t is desirable for pictures to
be 20 inches wide by Is inches
high in order that they may be
fitted readily into the formal of
the calendar.
While it is not a requirement
of the contest, it is hoped that
among the prize winning pictures
will be some identifiable scenes
of Washington.
Since the start OF. the contest
more than 500 pictures have been
submitted annually and many
thousands of persons have viewed
them during the exhibit period.
The winners will be announced
and the prizes awarded on the
evening Of May when the ex-
hibition opens.

The span of the South Capitol
Street Bridge stuck in an open
position for about 10 minutes yes
terday but was repaired before
traffic could pile up.
Guards said metal barrier on

Scouts Prepare 200 Exhibits for Show Next Week Home Builders
By Fred de Luna

Scouting is more than going to
meetings once week and taking
a hike or two in the summer.
What parents may not always
see are. some of the things Boy
Scouts do at their meetings, or
after school, or on weekends. All
of it is fun. some of it is hard
work, and little of it is pretty
astonishing.
To show some of these things,
more than 5000 boys from 252
troops and other units will parti-
cipate next Friday and Saturday
in a mammoth exposition at the
National Guard Armory, celebrat-
ing the scouts 10th anniversary,
and sponsored by the scouts Ma
tional Capital Area Council.
The big show. first of its kind
to be held in Washington, will
get a helping hand from the
Sesquicentennial Commission in
ceremonies at the armory.
200 Subjects Involved.
No slouches when it comes to
variety, the boys are working on
exhibits of more than 200 SUBJ
jects-ranging from horseman-
ship with a real horse) to bee
keeping with real bees).
- Besides stationary displays Of
the range of scout skills and in
terests, the boys will put on two
action shows an hour Friday and
Saturday evenings. They'll build
bridges, towers, enact sea rescues.
pillow flghts-even stage a folk
dance with some Girl Scouts
they've drafted.
One of the more spectacular
projects now in the making is an
Indian "longhouse" which the
youngsters from Troop 1O6 in
Arlington plan to set up at the
armory in 20 minutes fiat.
Although this troop numbers
only 10 boys at present, all have
pitched in with little prodding by
Scoutmaster Norman Blincoe, and
for a month now have been busy
ci1opping down hickory saplings
and lashing them together.
Introduced in 1887.

Mr.. Van Doren. and with the ex-
position coming up. the boys
decided to rig up another one.
The longhouse is II feet long,
seven feet wide. and six and one
half feet high. 1t consists of
hickory framework over which is
tossed q large canvas, making
cozy sleeping quarters for eight
boys.
Like most scouts, those of Troop
LOG go in strongly for Indian
stuff. They've even painted the
history of camping expedition
on the canvas in Indian signs.
But their log house has a mod
ern touch-they're using iron
bolts to hold most of the spars
together.
