WASHINGTON.—(#)— President Roosevelt‘'s reorganization of the great structure of federal bureaus is due this week, and he is expect ed to ask congress to give iy an official ratification. Another $350,000,000 or mors ig to be knocked off the federal bills by the program, so that with the vet erans’ cuts and other savings al ready made’the President will be able to make good the campaign pledge of cutting government ex penditures twenty five per cents a round billion dollars. The weeks of careful work put into this task by Lewis W. Doug las,‘ budget director, resulted in a draft which he put before Mr. Roosevelt Sunday on a cruise of the yacht Sequoia down the Po- tomac and out in Chesapeake bay to Port Tobacco, Maryland. Final Redraft The President's survey is to be followed by a final redrafting. The reorganization will cut thousands of federal jobs and will reach inte every government department. The Postoffice is to reduce $150,000,000 the Department of Commerce $lO,- 000,000: even the Labor depart ment $3,000,0000. Army and Navy are to experience substantial cuts. In addition te this economizing the program _is expected to carry some realignment of functions though it is not yet definlte whe ther it will provide for the unl fied Bureau of Transportation to regulate all carrier agencies which has been destined for the Depart ment of Commerce. Many diffl culties in its way might cause this plan to wait. The President has authority to jssue reorganization orders which go into effect if mnot rejected by two-thirds vote of both senate and house—a veto power hardly usable these days.
