D.C.CounciI-Manaqel
Plan Follows Ideas
OF Chicago Firm
Continued From First Page)


AS a result of the pooling of in
formation and views of the as
sociated groups, he said, the clear
ing house represents the most
up-to-date thinking on public ad-
ministration problems and meth
OdS.
Mr.. Finan said that, while he
has not kept track of Public Ad-
miniStration Service activities in
recent years, he would assume
that its officials look favorably
upon the council-manager form of
municipal government.
The division of authority be-
tween a council and manager is a
principle as sound as a dollar
he said.
Mr.. Finan is in charge of get
ting together the Budget Bureaus S
present plan for the District. He
said he feels the council-manager
form is most truly in the Ameri-
CdH lIdulLlOu.
STANDARD American Way"
1T is the standard American
way of doing business, whether
public or private" he added. He
pointed out private industries have
board of directors, who fix pol
icy. and single executive in
charge of carrying out that policy.
BY the same token, he added, it
IS guiding principle" to split
governmental policy-making from
the administrative function. He
said that the policy-making body
should be large enough to repre-
sent the main elements of the
community being governed. :.
That fits in with the Budget
Bureau recommendation of q city
manager with a council Of from
five to nine members for the Dis
trict.
Mr.. Finan pointed out that even
the widely prevalent mayor-coun-
Gil form, in principle. is the same
as the council-manager system.
The chief exception there is that
the mayor is elected by the voters.
whereas the city manager is ap-
pointed by the council.
1,10O Cities Use Form.
He regards as significant the
fact that more council-manager
governments have been established
in the last five years than in any
previous five years. Nearly 1.100
municipalities now have that
form.
Opponents of the councilman
ager plan, on the other hand,
point out that it is unsuited to
the District. The city is too large,
they say. and its administration
too compleX-largely due to Con-
gress' legislative powers over the
city-to function efficiently under
a city manager. appointed by a
council which in turn would be
presidentially appointed.
Aside from his experience with
Public administration Service
Mr.. Finan served from 1888 to
1887 with the Arkansas State
government. He worked in per-
sonnel, budgetary and public
utilities matters. His schooling
includes law. He came to the
Budget Bureau nearly two years
ago.

Mossadegh Reported
Asking 500 Million
Under West's Oil Plan
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

TEHERAN, Iran, Sept. 9-Pre-
mier Mohammed Mossadegh has
repeatedly told the United States
and Britain they must make a
better oil offer or he will tell
Parliament to reject the West
sponsored plan to get Trans oil
industry working again.
Reliable sources here also de-
clared the aged Iranian Premier
demanded an immediate loan of
about 500 million to get his
financially hard-pressed country
on the road toward Solvency.
These reports became known
here as Iranians awaited the ar
rival of German financial wizard
Hjalmar Schacht, who left Ham
burg, Germany, by plane yester-
day for Iran. Newspapers here
reported he would arrive today
or tomorrow.
Plans to Stay Only Week.
Mr.. Schacht, who gained fame
as Hitler's financial expert before
World War II. told reporters in
Hamburg he would stay only a
week and would discuss economic
and financial questions.
In an airport interview. Mr.
Schacht said any solution OF
Trans economic ills depended on
finding an answer to the oil dis
pute.
But the influential Teheran
newspaper Etelaat said Premier

Mossadegh had decided that if a
settlement is not reached with
Britain within two weeks, he will
quit trying and "use the views of
Schacht for bettering the eco
Inomic situation and balancing the
budget"
The nations oil industry has
been paralyzed since the govern
ment nationalized the Iranian
properties of the British-con-
trolled Anglo-Iran Oil Co. over
year ago. The government has
been hard pressed to pay its bills
since much of it's revenue had
been derived from oil.
$40 Million Offered.
Last week the United States
offered the Premier $40 million
as part of an Anglo-Iranian plan
to get the industry going again
and help stave off possible Com

d'Affaires George Middleton that

should come up with something
better before the Mails dover

morrow to consider the plan which
he has denounced as "the worst"
of all possible solutions.
This source said if the. Premier
failed to receive a British reply
today he would go before Parlia-
ment and recommend rejection
of the Western plan.
