Not 10 Come Before
Unit, Mccarthy Says

Chairman Mccarthy Of the
Senate Committee on Govern
ment Operations said today he
has no plans to take up the old
Hoover Commission proposal to
place the District Government
under the control Of the Govern
ment Services Administration.
Should the questions again
arise. he said he thought they
should be referred to the Sen
ate District Committee. The
District group last year studied
them and laid them on the shelf.
About the same time last year,
Congress approved the District
governments own internal re-
organization plan, now gradually
being put into effect.
Report Filed.
The subject arose yesterday
when q report on Senate actions
on Hoover Commission proposals
was fled by Senator Mcclellan,
Democrat, of Arkansas, former
chairman Of the Government
Operations Committee. This put
into a formal report the decision
Of his committee last year that
the District Government and
certain independent agencies
should continue to have inde-
pendent status.
Furthermore" the McClel-
Ian report added, "it was found
that the functions of these agen-
cies are unrelated to the opera
tionS of the General Services
Administration, and the proposed
transfers would not accomplish
any Of the general objectiveS set
forth by the (Hoover) Commis-
sion"
No Consultation Required.
The Mcclellan report said the
committee last year also could
ind mo justification" for a mod
flied proposal requiring the Dis
tTdct Government or the Smith
sonian Institution to consult with
the GSA regarding their activi-
ties. The report added:
Nor could any advantages or
savings be obtained from requir-
ing the National Park and Plan
ming Commission, the National
Capital Housing Authority and
the Commission of Fine Arts to
report to the General Services
Administration, as recommended,
instead of continuing their pres
ent direct reports to the PreSi-
dent of the United States.
THE purpose of this recon-
mendation was to reduce the
number of Government officials
who are required to report to
the President by directing them
to report instead through the
General Services administrator.
Specific Functions.
"The committee held, how
ever, that since Congress had
established these agencies to per-
form specific, independent func-
tions which had no relation
whatever to the housekeeping or
service functions vested in the
General Services administrator,
and since the proposed action
would neither effect any econ
omy nor promote greater eff
cheney, approval should not be
recommended to the Senate.
This decision was based in
part on a record which showed
that these agencies had success
fully carried out their functions
under the basic statutes with
little or no requirements for adj
ministrative control by the Chief
Executive. There were no
appreciable functions performed
by the President in relation to
the activities of these agencies
which could or should be dele
gated.
"The primary Presidential
function involved was the ap-
pointment of policy-making Of
fieialS subject tn confirmation

The controversy in this case

Important Principle

Likewise, on my nomination

Committee on the Judiciary,

Your invitation involves a
principal of great Importance,
the preservation of the indie
