Hot Potatoes Contention that the proposal of President Roosevelt to re- organize the federal government is a “hot potato” is perfectly justified. It is, and until the job is completed, it will remain such. Matters of that kind always are. Most logical of the reasons for opposition is that advanced by Senator Byrd of Virginia who fears the president is not pre- pared to go far enough in the matter of cutting expenses and who wants the efficiency of the government departments buttressed by a strong civil service requirement. Most effective, however, is quite likely to be the conviction of congressmen and senators that the revision will shear them of some of the patronage which is one of the most highly-prized perquisites of their offices. Congressmen who oppose the idea for selfish reasons will find some other excuse to give the pub- lic for their position, but the under-surface facts will remain the same. : The last thing congress will willingly let go of is the patron- age which they have come to regard as theirs as a matter of right. Demands for an overhauling of the government have been heard from the electorate for many years. It is louder now since so many people, in trying to deal with their government in re- cent years, have taken a ride on the bureaucratic merry-go- round. : The great need, as anyone with this experience can testify, is the need for concentration of authority so that the citizen such pressure as they can in cases sion that, eside from creation of the Social Welfare and Public Works De- of his congressional message, the pro- gram isn’t worked out—implying that N.

KEEPS REORGANIZATION DETAILS ‘UNDER HIS HAT’ By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Jan. 16—A Negro messenger recently was Staggering across Pennsylvania Ay enue toward the White House, hea’ ily laden with a pile of bound, type. written pages about two feet high. If it had been known in time what he was carrying, he almost certainly would have been waylaid by 10 cab- inet members, a hundred bureau chiefs and commissioners, and a small army of other New Deal officials, For the messenger’s load was the report of the president's committee on reorganization of government — consisting of Louis Brownlow, Charles E. Merriam, and Luther Gulick. Significance of this doesn’t rest in the curious fact that the report wasn’t toted in a taxi or @ govern- ment wagon, but in the insistence of those who saw the pile that only a small portion of the committee's ac- tual report has been transmitted to congress. Roosevelt gave Congress only 47 pages, which laid down general prin- ciples and dutlined specifically only those broad, major changes recom- mended by the committee which re- quire congressional action. ee % President Marking Time The actual program for regrouping more than a hundred government agencies, commissions, and bureaus— including such big ones as WPA, PWA, Social Security, CCC, and TVA —there is every reason to believe, is locked up in the president's desk for use after congress gives him power to use it. An enormous amount of subter- ranean lobbying, directed at the White House, already has begun. Many officials suspect they know what’s in the suppressed bulk of the Brownlow report and are bringing © 1957, NEA where they don’t like it.

The division of duties and overlapping of authority have matters not clearly within their jurisdiction when they wished “pass the buck” to some other burden or department when they wished to evade responsibility. It has all been very pleasant for them but rather hard on the citizen who finds himself trav- eling in a circle and arriving back at his starting place. Under Mr. Roosevelt’s leadership, however, we may be able to get some place. He has a hold on the congress such as never before has been wielded by a president. If the chief ex- ecutive wishes to destroy many congressmen he has only to “report” them to their constituents in half a dozen ways open to him. : In his first term Mr. Roosevelt was able to get what he wanted from the congress without great difficulty. Since he still controls what patronage there is left to give out there is every reason to believe that his words will be heeded. Elimination of waste in the government certainly is desir- able, if, in accomplishing this, efficiency can be improved at the same time, then the consummation is one devoutly to be wished. Experience in Love Some of the strangest facts about the human race are developed by insurance companies. They are interested not only in the man but in what he does, how he reacts to a given situation, what his habits, aims and hopes are. Sometimes, from apparently unrelated bits of information, they evolve data which is useful to them in formulating poli- cies. , It was in quest of facts pertinent to its business, apparent- ly, that one of the big insurance companies made a study of the love life of the average American insofar as it can be de- termined by the statistical method. ‘As might be expected, they found that men are different from women in their fundamental reactions, : For example the man who has been widowed or divorced is likely to take a single girl for a second wife. Widows have Jess appeal for him. On the other hand women who have been widowed or divorced are just as likely as not to select a man who has al- ready been married. ___ It also is noted that a divorced man is more likely to marry ‘@ woman who also has been divorced than the divorced woman ‘as to select a mate with similar experience. Of the divorced _ men who remarried 22 per cent chose divorcees and 18.4 per cent chose widows. Of the divorced women who remarried 18.4 ‘per cent chose divorced men and 19.5 per cent chose widowers. : Along with' these observations the study disclosed that marriage is something of a habit, since the “much-married tend to mate with the much-married.” Perhaps they make it easier or each other to “pop” the question. Cultural Capital \ Andrew Mellon, one of America’s richest men, has never ;been noted as a philanthropist. His latest action, in offering _his art collection to the United States government, however, puts him in rank with the princely givers, Since this is a commercial country in which all alues are “measured by dollars and cents, it is worth noting that com- petent judges have given Mr. Mellon’s collection of paintings value of something like $40,000,000. What is more to the point is that these paintings comprise a heritage of beauty and loveliness which, becoming the property of the nation, will be free to all. The gallery to house this collection will be built in Wash- ington. So far Washington has done little to become the na- tion’s cultural capital. The new gallery should go far to bring it pre-eminence in that regard. - A ence on reorganization, sought to made it easy for government officials to stick their noses into| spike the guns of Senator Harry F. te 4 to do so.
