the agency for it's delays and
friction" The General Account
ing Office was critical of it's ac-
counts and financial affairs.
At the last session of Congress
a presidential reorganization plan,
which became effective, made the
chairman the chief administrative
officer. as is now proposed for the
other regulatory commissions.
Maj. Gen. Philip B. Fleming, re-
garded as one of the Govern
ment's ace administrators, was
made chairman. But apparently
the agency's. defects have been
too deep seated for it to pull it
self out of the hole.
In transfers of functions from
one agency to another for better
grouping (Plans 1920 Mr.. Tru-
man said some of the moves
should result in savings, but in
general greater efficiency was re-
garded as the chief result.
The enforcement by the Labor
Department of wages and hours

Dor the Bureau of Employees Com
pensation. This bureau admins
ters the Governments program of
workmen's compensation and in
cludes administration of the Dis
trict's workmen's compensation

fected are two million, Federal
employees, 100000 longshoremen
and harbor workers and an esti-
mated 100000 employees of pri-
vate contractors.
Mr.. Truman said the move
should bring "optimurn eff

Other Transfers.
Other transfers in these plans
are:
Plan No. 15-Transfers the
public works programs in Alaska
and the Virgin Islands from Gen
eral Services to Interior.
Plan No. 16-Transfers from
General Services to the Federal
Security Agency the school assist
ance program authorized by the
Lanham Act and it's amendments,
and the administration of the
Water Pollution Act of 1948. Mr..
Truman pointed out that the
Public Health Service, a part of
FSA, now carrie on 80 per cent
of water pollution control.
He said economies (which can
not be predicted with exactness"
should be realized.
Plan No. 17-Transfers from
General Services to the Housing
and Home Finance Agency the
administration of advances to
State and local governments for
planning public works. Mr.. Tru-
man pointed out that the housing
agency now has responsibilities
for slum clearance and urban re-
development and the transfer
would integrate the public works
planning with them. AS result
public bodies would have fewer
Federal officials to deal with and
Federal-State and Federal-local|
government relations should be
improved. /

Girl May Overcome ListIessness
By Mokinq Some One Else Hoppy

DEAR MISS DIX: I am a girl
of 10, a freshman in college. I
have devoted parents whom I
love, a good home, good clothes,
everything to make me happy, but
I have lost all interest in life
and for no reason at all. I have
no interest in my studies and
don't care when I funk. I have
no interest in boys and, don't care
for dates. I don't care for any
thing. Why is this, and what is
the remedy? BET.
Answer: A lackadaisical condi-
ton, such as you describe your
self to be suffering from, is gen.
orally attributable to some physi-
cal cause, and before you sink
into a state of melancholia !
urgently advise you to go to a
good physician and have him find
out the root of your trouble and
cure you. It is pitful to think
how many people ruin not only
their lives, but the lives Of those
who have to live with them for
lack of a little medical attention.
You are 18. Adolescent. That
may be the explanation Of why

District Suffrage Moves
Debated by Federation
BY Ruth Deon

The question of which should
come first-national representa-
ton or home rule for the District
was debated by members of the
District Federation of Women's
Clubs yesterday at their monthly
meeting at the Hamilton Hotel.
The lively discussion followed a
talk by Jesse C. Suter, civic editor
of The Star and acting chairman
of the Citizens Joint Committee
on National Representation fol
the District.
Mr.. Suter described the District
of Columbia as "a community
largely of defective Americans,
under privileged people of the type
for which the United Nations
charter has so much solicitude."
For other defective Americans
"unnaturalized foreigners. convicts
and lunatics said, there are
existing laws, justice and medical
science to effect "a cure" But the
citizens of the District, he added,
require an amendment to the
Constitution which would give to
the Congress power by subsequent
legislation to remove the defect.
Americans of the District OF
Columbia are as vitality interested
in all pending matters of national
and international import as are
any other Americans" Mr.. Suter
declared. They are entitled to
participate through their duly
elected representatives in the Con-
gress in the action upon these
important questions.

the talk, Mrs. Harvey w. Wiley,
