The appointment of a special sub- committee of the Senate appropria- tions committee, to consider the re- classification bill, which was referred to the appropriations committee after being reported favorably by the civil service committee. While Senator Sterling would pot discuss what transpired at the con- ference with the President, it was learned later that the President does not intend at this time to issue an | order putting into effect the reclassi- fication of government employes in accordance with the plan developed by the bureau of efficiency, of which Herbert D. Brown is chairman. It was learned also that the view taken at the White House is that there is no reason why Congress, which in this instance means the Senate, should not proceed with reclassification legis- lation. Smoot Hends Committee. The subcommittee of the appropria- tions committee appointed to consider the reclassification bill, consists of Scnator Smoot of Utah, chairman; Sengtors Curtis of Kansas, McKinley of Tilinois, Lenroot of Wisconsin, Qverman of North Carolina, Harris of Georgia, and Glass of Virginia. Senator Smoot, who heads the sub- committee, has in the past supported the Brown plan for reclassification of government employes and is the in the Senate for that plan.

Whether Senator Sterling amplified the caustic remarks made by him on the floor of the Senate vesterday in his grilling of the efficiency bureau | and its chief, Herbert D. Brown, the senator would not state following his talk with the President. He did say his interview was devoted to the re- _ classification subject and that it was very satisfactory. He said the Presi- dent appeared to be thoroughly aware of the need of reclassification and is well posted upon the ‘subject.
