Sidetracking Reorganization
Saved Civil Service
Commission.
Three definite changes in the Gov
ernment setup that would have re
sulted from enactment of the reorgan
ization bill appear definitely side
tracked. at least until next year. They
are:
1. Abolition of the Civil Service
Commission, to he replaced by a single
administrator and a seven-member ad
visory board
2. Abolition or complete revision of
the functioning of the General Ac
counting Office
3. Consolidation of possibly a score
of existing bureaus dealing with health,
sanitation and relief into a new de
partment of welfare
Nperifir Provisions.
While the bill, either in House or
Senate form, would have given the
President general authority to regroup
or abolish other executive bureaus and
boards, the three changes listed above
were specifically provided for in the
legislation
Sidetracking of ihc omnibus Senate
bill also carried bark to committee the
proposal, which met virtually no oppo
sition in either house, to give the
President six administrative assist
ants. A separate bill dealing with
this feature alone passed the House
last summer and is still pending in
the Senate.
From the beginning of the present
session in January until it was recom
mitted to a House Committee last
night, the reorganization program un
derwent many changes in detail as it
moved along its stormy course through
both houses. If the House had passed
the measure these numerous changes
would have been the subject of days
of consultation in ronference, and
again subjected to verbal battle when
the ronference agreement went back
to the House and Senate for ratifica
tion.
Unfinished Business.
Assuming it will not be brought up I
again during the remaining six or j
eight weeks of this session, the entire :
subject again becomes a piece of un
finished business for the new Congress
that meets next January.
From a parliamentary standpoint. I
however, if it goes over until January. !
bills will have to be reintroduced and
taken up anew in committee at both
ends of the Capitol, since that will be
a new Congress.
Strategy of Senate opponents 10
days ago in blocking a motion to em
body the omnibus reorganization plan
as an amendment to a House bill prob
ably paved the way for the sidetrack
ing of the measure in the House. If
the subject had come from the Senate :
as an amendment to a House bill it
would have been possible to send it
to conference more readily.

to the reorganization bill before it was
sidetracked was a proposal by Repre
sentative Fish, Republican, of New
York, seeking to have the House in
dorse George Washington's stand

It recited that the precedent estab

amendment was ruled out of order

ROCKVILLE. Mri.. April 9.—Edward
S. Jackson. 27. colored, charged with
holding up Helen V. Kiendl. 19-year
old New York debutante, and robbing
her of her pocketbook and 9 in cash
near Pour Corners early Tuesday, was
released under $5,000 bond today. It
was posted by William Dosh. Gaithers
burg bondsman.
The release of Jackson came after
Judges Charles W. Woodward of the
Circuit Court had refused yesterday to
lower the bond set at a preliminary
hearing before Judge Harold C Smith
in Police Court on Tuesday.
At a habeas corpus hearing in
Judge Woodward's chambers Defense
Attorneys Joseph B. Simpson jr„ and
Miss Vivian V. Simpson declared that
Jackson had been employed at th" same
groeerv store in the 300 block of T
Greet N.W , in Washington, for the last
12 years and lived with his parents
in the 600 block of Hobart place N.W.
for the last 15 years. He had been

Taxes
'Continued From First Page i
are minor in character they are fully
possessed of the qualities to precipi
tate protracted debate and delay in
passage of the bill.
The tariff equalization schedule was
submitted yesterday afternoon by Sen
ator Pope
Bv the time the Idahoan has com
pleted more than an hour of argu
ment in behalf of his plan, rejected
earlier by the Finance Committee,
he was receiving active support from
nearly a dozen other Senators. Show
ing plainly that they did not in
tend to allow the issue to be railroaded
aside without full discussion, the farm
bloc finally forced abandonment of
plans to pass the tax bill last night
and gained the promise of an addi
tional two hours time this morning
Both Senator Harrison and Majority
Leader Barkley urged rejection of the
amendment on the grounds the con
templated plan should be embodied
in a separate bill and come to the
Senate only after consideration by
the House.
Similar strategy was effective earlier
in the day in bringing a rejection of
an amendment offered by Senator
Lodge, Republican, of Massachusetts
to reduce the social security taxes
levied for old-agp benefits. The Lodge
plan would call for a maximum total
pay roll tax, shared equally by em
ployes, of 5 per cent with this rate
applicable after December 31, 1957.
Under the present law, the maximum
joint tax is 6 per cent and reaches
this high point after December 31
194ft
Delay Xsked on Issue.
The plea of administration leaders
to defer this issue until a special study
is completed and separate legislation
brought in was supported by Senator
; Vandenberg, Republican, of Michigan.
I himself a persistent critic of the
j mounting old-age reserve fund.
The only actual reverse suffered
by the committee yesterday was in
I acceptance of an amendment by
Senator Lre. Democrat, of Oklahoma

to call the roll. From the start it was
evident the result would be close, just
as it was on Thursday, when Mr.
O'Connor failed by a small margin to
sidetrack the bill before considering
any amendments, by moving to strike
the enacting clause.
When the last few members hurry
ing into the chamber had voted, there
was a moment of feverish silence as
the clerks tallied the result.
Representative Cannon. Democrat
of Missouri, an authority on parlia
mentary law. broke the silence to sug
gest that due to the closeness of the
vote, the chair might wish a recapitu
lation. He was greeted with cries of,
Announce the vote!"
Rapping for order, the Speaker
glanced at thp tabulation handed up
to him by the clerk and announced
that, while he had the discretion on a
close vote to ask for a recapitulation,
he did not believe it was justified in
this case.
Victory Clinched.
Instantly Mr. O'Connor was on his
feet wilh the motion to reconsider and
lay the reconsideration on the table,
the parliamentary way of preventing a
later reopening of the decision by
which the bill was recommitted.
While friends of the measure had
little to say after the results became
final, opponents were quick to voice
their .satisfaction Senator Byrd,
Democrat, of Virginia issued a state
ment saying:
"The defeat is an amazing exhibi
tion of the power of an aroused pub
lic sent'ment versus the most terriffic
pressure on members of Congress from
the administration. The issue was
non-partisan and Democratic votes
accomplished the defeat.
"The grab for power from the leg
islative to the executive branch and
the frank admission that no economy
was proposed were the two essential
factors.
"As the one first to introduce a
resolution for reorganization, I will
continue my efforts to accomplish the
result, preserving the authority of the
Congress and with economy and re
trenchment as the main objective."
Asks Constructive Legislation.
Representative Pettengill, Demo
crat, of Indiana said. "Now is the
time to close ranks and bring out
constructive legislation like the tax
bill proposed by Senator Harrison and
get the people back to work. All the
good that was in this bill can come
out at the next session of Congress.”
Representative Lamneek. Demo
crat. of Ohio: "The President said
the Senate couldn't be purchased. I
say the House can't be purchased."
From the National Federation of
Federal Employes came a statement of
regrei at the action and the circum
stances which caused it.
“Through force of circumstances
not of our own choosing, most impor
tant provisions of the civil service
were contained in an omnibus bill
which became a political issue and
although extension of the merit sys
tem. extension of classification, set
ting up of boards of review and the
establishment of a single civil service
administrator are in no wnse partisan
questions, they were caught in the
whirlpool of politics and carried to
defeat," the federation said.
After defeating the first move to
sidetrack the bill early Thursday, ad
ministration leaders had been suc
cessful for two days in committee
of the whole, adopting amendments
they had sanctioned as concessions
and defeating all other changes pro
posed by the opposition.
This process had encouraged and
raised the hopes of the leaders for
ultimate victory, but these nuiperous
amendments were decided by standing
or teller votes and did not reveal the
full strength registered by the oppo
sition, when the committee of the
whole reported the much-amended
measure to the House and the roll was
called.
Other Bills rending.
There are still pending in the Sen
ate three features of the reorganiza
tion plan, passed bv the House as sep
arate bills last Summer before the
Senate decided to put the whole pro
gram in an omnibus measure. While
! it would still be possible to revive the
subject by having the Senate take up
; those measures, it is not likely that
move will be made, in view of the fact
i it took the Senate the entire month
of March to bring the omnibus bill to
a vote. The bill got through the Sen
ate by the close margin of 49 to 42
For six hours prior to the vote last
; night, the committee in charge of the
bill offered and had adopted a long
series of amendments to the civil serv
ice and general accounting sections of
the bill, which leaders hoped would
lessen opposition to final passage.

was terminated by President, Roose

Observers at the Capitol believed

it was the only amendment adopted

the doubt and disturb the average
American "
Speaker Bankhead said propaganda

Former President Terms
Action America's Most
‘Heartening News.’
Bs the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 9—For
mer President Herbert Hoover. Just
home from Europe, today hailed as
America's most "heartening news" the
shelving of the administration re
organization bill, which opponents
charged would give President Roose
velt virtual dictatorial powers.
Addressing a homecoming mass
meeting last night on "Challenge to
Liberty, 1938," Mr. Hoover departed
from his prepared text to comment
on the bill, which the House of Repre
sentatives voted to return to com
mittee. The move usually means death
of a measure.
"No more heartening news ever
came to the American people than
when the House of Representatives,
regardless of party, voted down the
reorganisation bill.” said Mr. Hoover,
long a Vigorous critic of the admin
istration and "planned economy.”
The former President, arrorded an
ovation by a crowd of 4.000 which
overflowed Municipal Opera House,
said Representatives who "voted
down” the meausc "ought to receive
from us a vote of gratitude."
He dropped no hint of any political
plans.
Declaring America's first task is to
“restore genuine self-respecting jobs”
to the 12.000.000 he said were unem
ployed. Mr. Hoover said New Deal
"planned economy" itself was "mak
ing the one-third ill-fed and ill
clothed.”
"It is nonsense to say that either
big or little business is on strike," he
said, "it is not so. Business is yearn
ing to sell automobiles and new suils
of clothes. It is the people who are
sea red.
"Big business or little business is not
scared to take on men if anybody will
give them an order for goods," * * *
"We should apply one test, to th'e
whole gamut of Government action.
Does this action stifle initiative and en
terprise? Does it cost men their jobs'1
I am well aware of the importance of
reforms. I am still more aware of the
misery of 12.000.000 unemployed. And
I am well aware of the dangers to the
very institutions of democracy from
an economic machine dislocated in this
fashion ''

In the absence of Chief Swifter on
July 11. it continues, Maj Curley took
command of the police force and
countermanded ail previous orders.
"At approximately 11 o'clock," the

Reinstatement of Employes.
The board dealt with reinstatement
and reimbursement of Republic em
ployes in three categories.
Twenty-seven employes, reputedly
the victims of discriminatory dis
charge. were ordered reinstated with
back pay less the amounts, if any.
they earned during specified lay-off
or discharge periods
Employes of the Canton Tin Plate
Mill were ordered reimbursed from
May 4, and at Ma.ssilon. from May 19.
when lockouts were instituted.
And finally:
On application, tiie company was
directed to offer reinstatement with
back pay. less earnings from April 8.
1938. to date of offer of reinstatement,
to those employes who went out on
strike May 25, and thereafter at Can
ton. Massilon, Youngstown, Warren
and Cleveland. The order holds that
tlie company must dismiss all employes
hired after the stiike if this is neces
sary in order to reinstate the strike:s
and those laid off or discharged for
union activities. If a reduction of
force does not leave sufficient positions
available, the positions must be appor
tioned in accordance with the com
pany's usual plan Those for whom
there are no positions go on a prefer
ential re-employment list.

APPEAL FOR JOBLESS
MADE BY MAYOR
Declares Third of Persons in
Florida Eligible Are Unable
to Get Work.
Mayor R. E L. Chancey of Tampa,
Fla , declared last night a third of the
persons in Florida cities eligible for
relief work were unable to get jobs on
existing projects.
He made the assertion in support of
a plea of the United States Conference
of Mayors for a *3,000,000.000 relief
appropriation for the fiscal year 1939.
Mayor Chancey called on President
Roosevelt yesterday with other mem
bers of the conference's Executive
Committee,
"It is quite a problem.” the Tampa
mayor said. "Probably one-third of
those eligible for relief work are unable
i lb get it. I think the situation in
| Tampa is illustrative of that in other
! Florida cities.”
In the peninsula's resort country,
he pointed out, the relief problem
grows evpn the more acute when the
Winter season ends
The amount which cities are re
quired to spend in connection with
W. P A. activities- the Floridian said,
has become an almost unbearable
burden. In addition, he said, Tampa
is spending about a quarter-million
dollars this year on relief outside of
its participation in the W. P. A. pro
gram.

moval of the Judiciary Square area has

even more acute, A committee was
appointed to discuss the matter with
the park Service.

and various methods of dealing with
the problems of juvenile delinquency
were given by Mrs. Alice Sheldon of
the attendance department of the pub
