REORG \\IL ATION BILL The nation as a whole ardently hopes that the recently passed 1 ef- executive agencies reorganization bill, by the House, will resull not only ficiency in the divisions of government which ificluded, but also that it will bring a reduction in operating costs. Certainly there both improvements. Under President Roosevelt, executive offices piled one atop another. To some extent there excuse for such action, since the nation was fighting a war and our entire national effort was directed toward victory. But now Mr. Truman should have time to devote to increasing the efficiency of the in incres is & crying need for were an executive branch—and it appears that the new bill | bill give him that opportunity. Overlapping agencies such as now exist through- out Washington cannot hope to operate efficiently. There is too much duplication of effort—and in that duplication effectiveness is lost. Such a condition naturaily increases costs beyond the bounds of reason. | If the reorganization does nothing more than confine each office to certain clean-cut duties and authorities, it will have accomplished a great deal. We believe, however, that it can do more. | Under the executive branch of the government | have come many powers which should not be there at all. In the reorganization it is thoped that Presi- dent Truman will return these powers to the depart- ments where they justly belong. Usurption of de- + cisions which rightfully rest in the legislative authority was one of the evils of the Roosevelt regime legw The Washmgion Merry - Go- Round /Continued /mm Page One) help them 4,000,000-man | wants.

It will be up to Mr. Truman* to carry out the design. The proposed five billion dollar cut in taxes is small compared to the billions wasted by a multitude ; of overlapping and useless bureaus Ah, Sugar! (Cincinnati Enquirer) The discovery of 18900,000 tons of ar cached by the Japanese in Java ports rightens very materially the cutlook for the domestic sugar supply this year and next. E. C. Zimmerman, Commissioner for the Netherlands East Indies, reported the diseovery to Secretary of Agriculture Clinton Anderson, voicing hope that additio) amounts of scarce food would be found in the interior of Java and elsewhere in the East Indies. The Java ports were reoccupied by Australian forces The sugar will be added to the United Nations pool, and the proportion which will be available for | distribution in the United States has not been decided upon as yet. Apparently it will be sizeable. In addi tion to the quantity which is allocated to this| | country, however, the relieving of the European sugar also will benefit the domestic situation : it will ease or perhaps eliminate the shipments of American sugar | for ove Japanese sugar hoard is amazing annual beet sugar production of The size of the | It about equals the !the United States, and is more than three tim s great as our cane sugar production. It is about half the annual- cutput of Cuba, the world's largest producer. The general public should avoid any immediate assumption that the sugar shortage is over, however. The distribution and shipment of the sugar from the | Southwest Pacific will take time and involve diffi- { culties. Its effect, therefore, will be mainly in easing i the expected shortage in 1946. This may permit us | to draw more on our deple reserves, however, and in that way bring relatively early relief from the sugar shortage, which promised to be one of the most persistent of all our war-created food shortages Getting Junior to Bed (St. Louis Star Times) Patience is a great virtue. It has been observed by profound philosophers that if one is patient enough he usually gets his way in the end. Diligent research upholds the validity of this assertion. Junior gets to bed ultimately if the whole family contentrates on the problem and devotes a few hours to the accomplish- ment of this worthy end Just why a 10-year-old boy so firmly objects to going to bed is a mystery for a Ph. D. thesis to solve in seven-syllable words. Boys are admittedly stub- born. Some two hours usually are needed from the time of the first call until Junior finishes his bath and gets stretched between the sheets It's a help if an older brother or sister is available for the first hour of the battle. This prepares the way for mother. She can carry on for half an hour Then father, with the moral support of the previous ground work, can let out a bellow that informs junior his time is growing short Junior has some points on his side. If man monkeys with clocks, why can’t he stay up until dark? The major point, we assume, is that the family recognize the evening hours have a purpose—that purpese being to get junior in bed so the rest of the family can have a couple hours of peace before they seek thelr couches.
