B—18 TUGWELL ORDERS PERSONNEL SHIFT Resettlement Activities to Be in Two Instead of Four Divisions. By the Associated Press. Centralization of administration ac- tivities in two instead of four major divisions, with probable reductions in the Washington staff, is included in the new set-up of the Resettlement Administration. Dissatisfled with progress, Rexford Guy Tugwell yesterday signed orders for a major shake-up in personnel and organization, to take effect immedi- ately. The two new main divisions, to be headed by men directly responsible to Tugwell, are construction and reset- tlement, taking the place of land utili- gation, suburban resettlement, rural resettlement and management, which had duplicated activities. Official sources said Tugwell de- cided on yesterday's changes within a few days after his return from & three-week survey of administration work in the field. The orders were reported drawn to increase efficiency, to speed the work by abolishing much red tape and to centralize responsi- bility. Officials said there will be no changes in distribution of funds or projects now under way. Construction Director. Among the key men in the re- organized administration will be Frank Schmitt, engineer, who has been with the Suburban Resettlement Division. He was named director yesterday of the new Construction Division. Walter E. Packard of Berkeley, Calif., will be- come acting director of the Rural Re- settlement Division. Formerly, construction work has been done by each division of the ad- ministration. Each has had its own planning section and its own archi- tects. Schmitt is to consolidate all con- struction work and to abolish the separate planning sections. Respons- ible only to Tugwell, he will act as contractor for any construction needed for any phase of the administration. Packard has been regional director in charge of California, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Nevada. He is expected here by December 1 to take complete charge of all movements of farm families under direction of the administration. He will be succeeded temporarily as regional director by Jonathan Garst. Work of the old Rural Resettlement Division will be split in two parts in the new unit. Packard is to have control of one. The other, caring for the 525,000 families listed as rehabili- i tation cilents, will be under direct charge of Paul Maris, who has been an assistant director in the Resettle- _ment Administration. The 525,000 “families are those to whom rehabili- tation loans are made. Changes Are Planned. All “project planning” and “project analysis” sections of the administra- tion are to be abolished or consoli- dated under Schmitt. The old Management Division, headed by E. E. Agger, will continue to exist preparatory to taking charge | of communities after completion. J. S. Lansill, who has been director of the Suburban Resettlement Divi- sion, was appointed assistant admin- istrator with supervisory charge of suburban communities. L. C. Gray, who has been director of the Land Utilization Division, also was appointed as assistant adminis- trator and will have charge of land scquisition. C. C. Taylor, director of the Rural Resettlement Division, was appointed #s assistant administrator for advisory and supervisory work in connection ‘with resettlement. ROOSEVELT ENDS CHACO ARMS BAN Proclamation Revoking Embargo Based on Buenos Aires Peace Declaration. President Roosevelt has issued a proclamation revoking a proclamation issued in May, 1934, prohibiting the #ale of arms and munitions to Bo- livia and Paraguay. On October 29 the Peace Confer- ence and plenary session at Buenos Alres declared war between Bolivia and Paraguay at an end. Mr. Roose- velt's action in issuing the second pro- clamation is predicted on the action of the Peace Conference and also on agreement of Bolivia and Paraguay, pending the conclusion of the treaty of peace, they would not import war materials beyond what is needed for Teplacements. The revocation of the proclamation of 1934 becomes effective November 29. It is so worded that the right of the American Government to prose- cute violations of the 1934 proclama- tion is safeguarded until today pro- clamation goes into effect. — Holds Christmas Bazaar.
