The Job

The new Department Of General
Administration will incorporate the
activities of seven vital District
agencies. The heads Of these
agencies will no longer beat sep
arate paths to the Commissioners
door. They will report to Mr.. Lowe.
He will either solve their problems,
or take them to the Commissioners
himself.
The seven Offices which are to be
grouped under Mr.. loves admins
tration are those of purchasing,
property, personnel, audit. manage
ment, budget and finance. Without
dispute, he will be at the second
level Of responsibility-after the
three Commissioners. What Is more,
he will be by himself at that level.
He will, in other words, be very
powerful man in District affairs.
He will be even more important
than might be supposed from a
glance at the list OF agencies under
his control. These are the agencies,
Of course, which take in money for
the District, which spend it and
which supervise its disburSal. But
supervising them is only the first
part of Mr.. loves job. The second
part-not so far exposed to much
scrutiny-is spelled out in the COB
bledygook of a Government job
sheet relating to the Director,
Department of General Admins
tration"
"He is responsible" the job sheet
says, "for making continuing
studies Of the organization Of that
Government after the initial re-
organization, to increase efficiency,
EFFECT economies, improve service
and facilitate good management" ."
81 This clause means that Mr.. Lowe
will be charged with keeping an
eye, not only on his own bailiwick,
!, but on the whole District Govern
sment as well. It will be his job to
find where corners can be cut,
where methods can be streamlined
further, where savings can be made.
And it will be up to him to convince
I the Commissioners what should be
done in this respect.
]; The power that Mr.. Lowe will
I exercise, and the broad field in
4 which he will exercise it, have led
to the impression that he could
& become a sort Of "city manager"
for washington - an executive
agent dominating the entire muni-
4 cipal government. Even the Com
missioners, some say, may wake up
one day to find themselves q trio Of
back-seat drivers.

The Governor

Turning the reins Of the Demo-
cratic Party over to Gov. Stevenson
In Chicago, President Truman had
been as full Of eagerness and bounce
as a puppy dog. He obviously was
looking forward to another political
romp across country. He told the
convention:
1--WE are going to win in 1852 the
same way we won in 1948. The
real reason the Democrats win
elections is a perfectly simple rea-
son. It is because the Democratic
Party gives the American people the
kind of government they want"
But when Mr.. Truman sat down,
and Stevenson himself took the
microphone, it sounded like the
beginning Of a new era for the
Democrats-one to which MIR. Tru-
man might have trouble adjusting.

American Scene

DACK HOME in America, the
~ tribulations of Korean politi-
clans and Bulgarian soldiers seemed
extremely remote and just little
unreal. Young Americans of draft
age looked anxiously down the
street toward Local Board No. 1;
farmers peered skyward for rain
clouds-and saw flying saucers; and
housewives regarded with appre-
hension the soaring price index.

The Man

Mr.. Lowe, last week, was looking
forward to his new assignment with
a good deal of quiet and confident
anticipation. The fact that he is a
newcomer in town does not particu-
larly worry him; indeed, he thinks
it may help rather than hurt.
Sometimes in approaching new
assignment" he says, 'it is better
not to have too intimate knowl-
edge of the situation. Preconceived
notions can be a hindrance."
For the rest, Mr.. loves past
record seems to qualify him amply
for the work he will have to do
here. In Atlanta, in recent years,
he has been assistant executive
officer of the Engineers South At
lantic Division. This far-flung
operation, which employs about
5000 persons, supervises military
construction in the Southeast and
Caribbean and procures most of the
lumber used by the Armed Forces.
Keeping tabs on the outgo Of
money-more money than he will
handle here-has been a workaday
part of Mr.. loves job. about the
only thing I'll be involved in here
that I didn't do there" he said, "is
the collecting of taxes"
Actually, there will be something
else new facing Mr.. Lowe here. AS
a top official of the District he will
help administer affairs in the home
Of 900, 900 people, most Of them with
problems. And most of those prob
lens, sooner or later, one way or
another, will find their way to his
doorstep. AS soon, that is, as he
solves his own first problem. First,
like any other newcomer, he must
find house behind that doorstep
where he, his wife and their 13-
year-old daughter can live.
Evening star., 1952-08-10
The Problem

Mr.. Lowe-or someone like him
was necessary to the District
Government because sound man
agement principles have been
honored here for years more in
breach than in observance.
An axiom of modern manage
ment holds that no functionary
should have more than six or eight
subordinates reporting to him. This
principle-as it affects the District
Commissioners-has been flagrantly
violated. It Is not the Commission
ers who have been at fault, except
insofar as they have failed to warn
Congress about what Congress was
doing to the District. The real
fault has been in the terms of
various congressional acts estab-
fishing local boards and agencies.
These instruments of municipal
government have been created
hodge-podge to meet needs Of the
moment.
And so the harried three who
govern Washington nave found
themselves beset by a growing line
of underlings asking for advice. At
last count, the line was 95 men long.
Plan No. 5
Three months ago, President
Truman sent Congress his District
Reorganization Plan No. S. OF the
many phases of this plan, the most
important was provision to give
the Commissioners the right to
rearrange their city government so
as to keep it abreast of the times.
With Mr.. loves appointment as
Director of General Administration,
the plan is just getting under way.
There was one earlier action
creation of a Citizens Advisory
Council. But this was not direct
step toward streamlining. It was
merely a way of getting the men
who govern Washington into closer
touch with the people they govern.
Mr.. loves coming, scheduled Of
ficially for September 2, presages a
real start in the job of Strengthening
out the cluttered functions Of the
city government.

likely to be realized, for MIR. loves
job is clearly defined and circum-
scribed. He will not be a city man
ager. He will not run the city gov
ernment. He will have nothing
to do with the direct operation of
the police, fire, health, welfare,
traffic and other multifarious de-
partments that keep the city going.
His concern will be limited to the
men, money and materials with
which the District services these
various departments.
Nor is Mr.. Lowe destined to be-
come the city's fourth Commits
sioner." He will, it is true, be on a
par with his bosses insofar as pay
is concerned. But he will not be
concerned with the policy decisions
which their board makes.
Mr.. loves job, in other words, is
strictly a service job within the
machinery of the District govern
ment. If he does it well, he should
make that machinery run smoother
than it has been running. But he
is the man with the oil cannot
the man at the controls.

WASHINGTON PLAYED host
w briefly last week to an out-of-
towner with more on his mind than
sightseeing. He was Schuyler Lowe,
q 42-year-old civilian who, early
next month, will take over as the
right-hand man of the local Board
of Commissioners. At present a
$10,OOO-a-year man in the Corps Of
Engineers Atlanta Office, he is to
serve as Director of General Ad-
ministration for the District Gov
ernment at $4,000. His appoint
ment, arranged by his former boss,
Engineer Commissioner Bernard L.
Robinson, is expected to help
streamline the government OF this
growing city.
AS Mr.. Lowe headed South to tie
up the loose ends of his Atlanta
job, space was being made for him
and his Subordinates in the District
Building, close to the Offices of the
city fathers whom he will advise.

than mislead the people,"
Stevenson kept his campaign
headquarters in Springfield and
turned direction of his campaign
over to men outside the Truman
circle, insisting at the same time
that he was not a Captive" Of the
ultra-liberal wing Of the party. He
picked a lawyer friend and political
newcomer, Stephen A. Mitchell, to
be chairman of the Democratic
National Committee in place Of
Frank E. Mckinney, a Truman man.
Mr.. Truman waited, "a private in
the ranks" for orders to start
speechmaking.
He waited all last week in vain.
Next Tuesday, however, Mr.. Tru-
man likely will get the word. Ste
venson is to visit the White House
to sit in on a cabinet meeting. The
Governor can tell the President
then where, if anywhere. he will fit

Dixie Decisions

Partly because Of Stevenson's
manifest independence from the
Truman administration, the threat
ened Dixiecrat revolt was begin
ming to fizzle. On Monday, the
Georgia Democratic Executive Com
mittee pledged that States elec-
toral votes to the regular ticket.
There would be no attempt to bring
the Eisenhower slate in under the
Democratic name.
Mississippi Democratic leaders
followed suit Tuesday, indorsing
Stevenson. A South Carolina State
Democratic convention kept the
ball rolling Wednesday by voting
289K to As to hold State electors
in line for Stevenson. Virginia,
Texas and Louisiana seemed likely
to follow the trend.
It was clear, however, that many
of the deep South Democrats were
only luke-warm for Stevenson. The
South Carolina convention agreed
that party members could vote Re-
publican without losing party
standing.
Last night, a Stevenson spokes-
man threw curve at the South
with the news that the Democratic
candidate favors curbing filibusters
and insuring nationwide fair en-
ployment practices.

lated to ALLEVIATE the Dixie vote, it
