CO0LDGE FAVORS BUREAU NERGERS Will Back Any Feasible Plan for Reorganization, Those Close to Him Believe. President Coolidge is in favor of do- iway with certain independent eaus and other independent agen «ies of the Federal Government, in the Lielief of some of those with whom the ‘resident discussed the subject today. he President, t%ey feel, will be solid- 1y -behind the movement which has already been started by some membs of ‘the Senate and House to abolish entirely some of these agencies and to consolidate others with regular con- ®tituted Federal departments. sident (‘oolidge was represented ssing the opinion that in the e and econ- v all of these bureaus d different agencies should come der the supervision of a_member of President’s cabinet He is mindful of the fact that there is considerable overlapping of authority and dupli- cited efforts be e of the independ- manner in which these agencies This, he believes, could be it the work outlined by for these agencies was ab. scorbed or taken over by those depart- ments of the Government closest re- luted to agencies in question, Mone; While the thit the abolishment of some of these cies and the ahsorption of others ill promote governmental efficiency © does not at this time see any great vin Inasmuch as these azencies ere engaged in a certain either in whole or in part must be continued. there will be very little « portunity to reduce greatly their oper- ive costs, even if they were absorbed {+ some department. 1t is known that President Coolidge 144 been miving this matter consider- nble thougnt and that he considered ft 2 governmental problem deservin the closest consideration, The Presi aving Small. cent has et it be known that while | 1o is favorably inclined to support the proposals being advanced. he has no definite plans himself, and is not | likely to consider one until the gen- eral r tion bill prepared by these joint congressional committee on reorganization, to which he is com- niitted. has finally been disposed of at oming session of Congress. Those close to the Pr dent know that he h: been given some very positive assurances by influential members of his party in both the Sen sate and the House that there is very little chance of the reorganization bill heinz favorably received when It is re- introduced. Early Switch Expected. It is thought that when the Presi- dent is himself convinced of this fact he will lose little time in switching over to some one of the proposals which will be intended to make it pos sible for the Executive to have suffi- cient authority to bring about reor- ganization by effecting transfers and consolidation as he deems to the best interest of the Government. One of the latter proposals will be introduced hy Senator Curtis of Kansas, who is most ardent in his advocacy of the aholishment of what he terms ‘“‘the many useless bureaus.” Senator Edge of New Jersey is another who will in troduce a resolution proposing to give the President blanket authority. Ac- cording to some of the expressions the President has already received from congressional quarters, the plan to set- tle the reorganization question by turning it over to the Executive will| recefve considerable support when the time comes.
