Reorganization Plan Praised
BY ComoIier at Meetinu

The District reorganization plan
before Congress is "the finest
thing that has hit the city in
many years." an incoming Com
missioner declared yesterday.
Attorney Renah F. Camalier
who will be sworn in as Commis-
sioner June 2, indorsed the plan
during a Democratic breakfast at
the Hotel Dupont Plaza. He will
succeed John Russell Young.
Glowing with optimism, Mr.
Camalier expressed his apprecia-
ton to President Truman for the
appointment and to Commission
|er F. Joseph Donohue for his sup
port.
"I'll come through, I am con-
f1dent," Mr.. Camalier told some
so assembled Democrats. With
such teammates as Brig. Gen
Bernard l.. Robinson and F.
Joseph Donohue, the new Com
missioner said, this board will
do all right"
Aware of Problems.
Il realize there are many prob
lens to be met and solved. But
I'm not afraid to be a Commits
sioner any more than I have been
afraid of any job I have been
entrusted with"
He said Gen. Robinson will al
ways be in the hearts and minds ot
the city" for the coming up with
the reorganization program. Gen
Robinson was present for all of the
talk, most of the proceedings. He
had begged off committing him.
self, partisan wise, pointing out
that he is an Army officer.
Mr.. Camalier asserted he was
grateful for the support that Com
missioner Donohue has given him
for the commissionership "fol
the last year or more"
Mr.. Truman, however, won Mr.
Camalier's most glowing compli-
mentS.
''He will go down as our most
conscientious President" the new
Commissioner said.
Loyal, Modest and Humble.
"He is loyal to home and coun-
try, the defender of his family.
He Is modest and humble, believes
in service to his fellow citizen. He
is wise in his counseling. The
words and thoughts of Harry S.
Truman will be heard in the an
mails of American history for years

to come. Well miss him in the
White House"
Mr.. Camalier said he intends to
follow a bit of presidential advice
given him when he got the word
OF his new appointment.
HE said to me, Give the little
fellow a chance, and he will come
through. And let there be no
back doors to the Commissioners
Office Mr.. Camalier confided to
his audience.
Aside from that, the attorney
declared, "he put no iron band
about my head. He gave me carte
blanche"
And as Gen. Robinson had
voted" on a recent television
show, Mr.. Camalier exercised his
"carte blanche" by promising his
vote for Mr.. Donohue as president
of the Board of Commissioners.
For the board to live up to his
expectations. however, Mr.. Cana
lier warned that citizens must
come out of hiding" to help.
I'VE need people who are un-
selfish, determined and civic
minded, to give us broad thinking
to perfect the cleanest form of

Wheat, Oats and Rye Reported
Safe From Drought Damage

CHICAGO. Aug. 8 (CDN.-Ir
reading the drought disaster re.
ports from the East, South anc
Washington, it's well to remem.
Der that the wheat, oats and rye
crops are safe from damage.
Also that corn, while somewhat
affected, is likely to be above
last years yield Of 2,941 .000, ,00C
bushels.
Here's the way the major food
crops stand as the drought dis
aster reports come in:
The Winter wheat in the
Southwest has been harvested and
the combine crews are rolling into
the Dakotas and Minnesota fol-
the spring wheat.
Up in Canada. If by any chance
wheat should be needed here, q
bumper crop is in prospect.
| AS of July /. the Government
estimated the 1852 crop of winter
and spring wheat at 1,249. 100000
bushels-a good 262 million BUSH
els ahead of last years actual
yield.
There seems to be little chance
the current estimate will be
changed substantially either way
