Government’'s Reorganization
M il's P
oves Forward as Snail's Pace
By PETER EDSON
NFEA Washington Correspondent
TWASHINGTON—(NEA)—Government reorgani
z:tion in line with ex-President Herbert Hoover's
Commission recommendations is about over for this
vear, President Truwman has no more reorganiza
tion plans up his sleeve to send to Congress for
consideration within 60 days, or veto. Some 30-
odd reorganization bills are before the Senate and
liouse, and half-a-dozen minor ones have slight
chance of passage this session,
There is a general feeling that Federal govern
ant ought to be reorganized, reduced in size,
1 .de more efficient, Few people who are not
¢ .verts on government have any real idea of what's
i olved, or how little has really been done in
soite of all the ballyhoo for reform.
Adding up all the reorganization nroves achieved
in the past year and a half, since the Hoover re
ports came out, it's still impossible for the naked
eve to observe what difference has been made. As
for the natural questions of how much money has
been saved, nobody can give any accurate answer,
But 'tis said the government is now operating more
eificiently, ’tis said.
ONE-THIRD PRESIDENT'S PLANS REJECTED
A score card shows that President Truman sub
mitted 34 reorganization plans to Congress. One of
tem — on Treasury — went up twice because the
{i'st version wasn't acceptable to Congress. In all,
¢ ~ht plans were vetoed by Congress and 26 were
a nroved.
The eight plans Congress killed covered De-
partment of Agriculture, Interstate Commerce
Comnmrission, National Lakor Relations Board, Fed
eral Communications Commission, Federal Security
agencies, creation of a Department of Social Se
curity, transfer of Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion to Commerce Department and reorganization
of the Office of Comptroller of the Currency.
The 26 plans approved cover most of the other
Departments of Government—State, Defense, Jus
tice, Comnrerce, Interior and Labor, Also reor
ganized were a number of independent regulatory
agencies like Maritime, Federal Trade, Securities
and Exchange commissions,
One other question to which it is impossible to
get any accurate answer is just how many of the
Hoover recommendations have now been adopted.
When President Truman sent up his biggest batch
of reorganization plans last March he said, “When
these 21 plans are effective, we shall have acted on
almost half of the Hoover proposals.” ’
When the voluminous Hoover report was issued,
one count listed 331 recommendations for reorgani
zation in government, It was said that 127 of them
would require legislation, 122 could be achieved by
administrative action, 82 by reorganization plans.
LARGE SAVINGS IN THE MAKING
One estimate made by Dr. Robert L. Johnson,
chairman of the Citizens Committee, is that the 26
plans so far adopted cover 35 to 40 per cent of the
Hoover recommendations, and will achieve sav
ings of $1,250,000,000 a year.
As for reorganization legislation, only ten public
laws seem to have been enacted to date, Two cov
ered Civil Service classification and revised pay
rates, upward. Two others covered unification of
the armed services—probably the biggest achieve=
ment, economy-wise, in the whole program. :
Other’ legislation adopted reorganized the State
Department, changed Post Office procurement
methods, created a National Science Foundation,
gave Government Services Administration a lot of
housekeeping odd jobs, set up the machinery for
reorganization and, gave the President authority to
delegate many of his powers to the heads of govern
ment agencies, This last bill will of course take
much of the burden off the White House,
Four other reorganization bills which stand some
chance of passage this year include: A compromise
on Post Office financial control. Another compro
mise revising budget and accounting procedures,
Revision of records_handling. A new Federal per
sonnel employment act, As can be seen, these bills
would . merely change the red tape winding and
paper shuffling techniques.
Most of the big problems of reorganization, Con
gress simply has not come to grips with, Included
are such matters as complete overhaul of the postal
system, Veterans Administration, government med
ical services, land and water resources manage
ment, overseas administration, governnrent corpora
tions, the many independent regulatory commissions
and Federal-State government relationships.
In summary, government reorganization has
barely been scratched. i
No seli-respecting farmer would house his pigs in
some of the hovels used for school buildings.—Dr.
Howard Dawson, head of National Education As
sociation, speaking on rural schools.
I don't care what people think of me. I stand all
right with Ged.—Jake LaMotta, American middle
weight champion.
Proposed "Watchdog” Groups
Could Spot Real Aggressor
The United Nations could wisely adopt a proposal
by a church group that watchdog commissions be
placed in trouble spots all around the world.
The suggestion comes from the Commission of the
Churches on International Affairs. Its leadership
includes John Foster Dulles, Republican adviser to
the State Department; Francis B, Sayre, U. S. dele
gate to the UN trusteeship council; Arnold Toyn
bee, British historian; Charles Malik, Lebanon
minister to the U. S., and several other prominent
figures.
It's perhaps doubtful whether such watchdog
commissions would act, as the group declares, as
a “deterrent to aggression and a third World War.”
After all, a UN observer commission was in Korea
June 24 and before, but it didn’'t stop the North
Koreans from marching. -
But such commissions can perform one vital serv
ice: carefully assessing the political and military
situation in each of the critical areas, and establish
ing the truth about aggression if and when it occurs,
We need only listen to the prattling of Russia’s
representative on the UN Security Council, Jacob
Malik, to realize that any aggressive move any
where by Russia or her satellites will be twisted into
a “peaceful” gesture if the world’s observers are
not there to prove otherwise.
. According to Moscow’s versian, it was the South
Koreans who started things in Korea. The North
Koreans are merely counter-attacking. And of
course the United States, too, is held to be guilty of
aggression against the “Korean people.”
But thanks to the UN Korean commission, the
world knows exactly what the facts were when the
invasion began. By that date, the North Koreans
already had sliced across the 38th parallel bordering
South Korea at several points., These salients, de
signed to give the northerners tactical advantage,
were never wiped out by the defenders.
Furthermore, authenticated reports made clear
that the North Koreans were massing men and
armor and were clearing civilians out of the border
zones from which an attack would be launched.
In contrast, the South Korean constabulary army
was doing little or nothing. Not only was it not
deploying for an assault; it wasn’t even placing
itself wisely for defense. More than that, as we
now know all too well, it wasn’t equipped for more
than internal police action.
All these facts are documented and in the UN’s
hands because a commission was on the scene to
establish them quickly. The information actually
was in the UN’s possession when the Security
Council met to try to end the aggression.
Russia being what it is, we will get this same
fantastic inversion of the truth everywhere she
threatens. Perhaps many millions of westerners,
including Americans, have long since discounted
anything the Soviet propagandists say. But we
have to remember that in Asia and some other
places the West is trusted little more than the
Russians.
So i’s important to unity of world action against
aggression that the real facts be known to all na
tions beyond any shadow of doubt, Let’s put watch
dogi in Indo-China, Malaya, Iran, Turkey, Yugo
slavia and Germany,
Even now, more than ten years since the discov

useful mechanical energy has been extracted from
uranium—at least not in this country. And so far

Weinberg, research director of Oak Ridge, Tenn.,
national laboratory. *
People must realize that it is impossible to divide
a nation by unnatural frontiers or an iron curtain.

again and be united.—Bishop (German Evangelical
Church) Otto Dibelius. =
Actors are very domineering. They grab you and

Weekly Bible Lesson
Jesus’ Tribute To John The Baptist
By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D.
If there were any doubt con
cerning the greatness of John the
Baptist, the forerunner of Jesus,
that was settled for all time by
Jesus’ tribute to John, His words
were clear, decisive, and in the
very height of praise.
“Among those that are born of
women,” said Jesus, “there is not
a greater prophet than John the
Baptist.” It is as if Jesus was
answering the thoughts of those
who did not think so highly of
John—those who judged by out
ward appearances and failed to see
anything great or prophetic in an
ill-clad ascetic preaching a stern
gospel of repentance.
“What went ye out for to see?”
said Jesus. “A reed shaken with
the wind? A man clothed in soft
raiment?” Mocking their thoughts,
He continued, “Behold, they which
are gorgeously appareled and live
delicately, are in kings’ courts.”
1t is always necessary to remem
ber that greatness in men, and
truth in religion, are not always
associated with outward forms and
trappings, no matter how gorgeous
they may be. In my boyhood I
used to hear itinerant Canadian
Methodist ministers sing a hymn
descriptive of themselves.
“No foot of land do I possess,
No cottage in the wilderness,
A poor wayfaring man.”
That is not necessarily charac-

something noble about it; just as
there is something ignoble about

would he be received? Would he
be called a prophet, or a crank?
The question is provocative, but
I turn from it to the remarkable
saying of Jesus, that followed his
tribute to John as the greatest of
those born of women; Jesus said,
“But he that is least in the king

words? I think the wsual interpre
tation is that Jesus was stressing
the nature of the dispensation of
the gospel, the dispensation of love,
as greater than the dispensation of
law; the New Testament, or Cove
nant, as built upon the Old. It
was a dispensation of love, a ful
fillment rather than a denial of
the law.
I think the meaning may be
brought out more clearly, if we
compare Jesus with John., Jesus
made the comparison Himself. He
