Reslluffle OF
Exec. Agencies
In Ike's Hands
BY WILLIAM r. ARBoeAsT

WASHINGTON R-President Eli
senhower's first legislative request
was halfway through Congress
Wednesday with a clear and fast
track ahead.
It's a bill continuing for two
years the Presidents power to re-
shuttle executive agencies-subject
to congressional veto--a power
first given to ex-President Truman
in 1919.
The House passed the bill Tues
day. 1896, just one day after the
President requested action in his
message on the state of the union.
1t was the first major House action
Oh the new session.
Senate approval, perhaps next
week, was expected.
As passed by the House, the bill
would give. Eisenhower reorganiza-
ton powers identical with those
held by Truman. These permit the
President to reshuffle agencies or
functions. The plans become effec.
tive In 90 days unless either the
Senate or the House, by a constitu-
tional majority vote, vetoes them.
A constitutional majority of the
Senate is 40 votes. In the House it's
21s.
Chairman Hoffman (R-Mich) of
the House Government Operations
Committee sought to curb the
Presidents power by permitting
veto by a simple majority vote of
either braneh--a minimum of Is in
the Senate and ITO in the House.
The House shouted down that pro-
posal.
Senate Majority Leader Taft fR-
Ohio) said the House bill probably
will be sent to the Senate Govern
ment Operations Committee, which
voted last week to approve bill
requiring only simple majority
vote Of either House to kill a reor.
ganization plan.
But Taft said he doesn't believe
there win be any difficulty in get.
ting a committee majority for the
House-approved bill.
Before President Eisenhower
made 1t plain that he wanted con
tinuation Of the present law, the
proposed version with the easier
congressional veto provision had
the backing Of Is Republicans and
the opposition of IA Democrats or
H0ffman's committee.
After taking several hours Of
needing and taunting from Demo
Gratis. Republicans explained thai
their original position was due to a
misunderstanding Of what the
President wanted.

Public Debt
Is A Big Job
To Take On
By ED cREAcH

WASHINGTON .R - The public
debt, it sometimes seems, is like
the weather - everybody talks
about il but nobody does anything
about ii.
II is, to be sure, a big thing to
tackle. It's more than 265 billion
dollars now. Before many months,
as President Eisenhower cautioned
in Mondays State of the Union
message. it may push through the
present legal limit of 275 billion
dollars.
That means you, your wife or
husband and even a baby born
this morning each owes, on the
average, about 81, 1855. And the in.
terest keeps piling up all the time.
Eisenhower has proposed one
corrective step. Too much Of the
debt, he said In his message,
comes due in too short a time. So
the Treasury viii spread part Of il
over longer periods-put more of
it in the hands Of long-term in
vestors.
Also, he said. by strict economy
his administration will try TO keep
the debt from going any higher
than is absolutely necessary.
Now comes a congressman who
would go somewhat farther.
Rep. e. Y. Berry OF South
Dakota says Eisennower's propos-
ais are fine but--why MT so the
whole hog?
Why not, in fact, take the practi-

Larry Harms doesn't particularly
care for Plato. The fact remains
that if Plato happened to be alive
today, he would be a great man.
He might even be an honorary
member of the Suffragette Party
for he was one of the first men to
say that although women were, in
general, inferior to men, they PISS
sessed qualities which could make
them equal or even superior. That
kind of talk alone should have
bought him the same death as his
teacher, Socrates. Namely, a cup
of hemlock poison.
1t was Plato who believed: "Un-
til philosophers are kings
cities will never have rest from
their troubles no, nor the human
race. -. Of course, this state
ment was accepted in complete h.
mility : he probably forgot the
fact that he himsea was philo.
sopher. If Plato favored democra-
cy slightly it was only by compare
son with other forms of govern
ment such as oligarchy, tyranny,
etc. In his rather mild manner he
said: Democracy is charming
form of government full of variety
and disorder, and dispensing a
sort of equality to equals and un-
equals alike"

was a pagan, heather, or what
have you. He believed in a SUI

were quite a few little gods who
helped rule the world. Teaching
that .the soul of man is Immortal
and imperishable", he felt that
there is spiritual pattern which,
if followed, would bring about an
