Progress is expected to be made in the House during the coming week on all four of the reorganization bills to carry out the President’s recommenda- tions, while the Senate is marking time on the general omnibus reorgani- zation bills sponsored by the late Senate Leader Robinson, Either tomorrow or Tuesday the | House is expected to take action on the | Robinson bill, authorizing the Presi- dent to appoint six additional “ad- | ministrative assistants” at salaries of | $10.000, outsid> of civil service laws. This bill was held over from last week for two reasons: (1) The ab-| gence of Representatire Tabor and the illness of Representative Gifford, the two Republican members. and (2) | the desire to expedite procedure on | the Interior Department appropria- | tion bill. Now both Tabor and Gifford are back. Passaze Is Expected, Chairman Robinson is going to ask Speaker Bankiead, as soon as the lat- | ter returns from Senator Robinson’s | funeral, to recognize him to call up | the measure.

Members of the sub- committee say they expect this bill to pass at the present session of Congress. | Fourth Bill Being Drafted. 1 In the meantime the fourth reor- | ganization bill is being drafted. Chair- man Warren of the subcommittee, in | charge, has not called any meeting | for the coming week, but said last | night that ‘“progress is being made | and this bill will be ready for its turn.” It is contemplated that this measure | will be the last of the four to be | passed. It will give blanket authority to the President to reorganize, con- #olidate, regroup or abolish various Government agencies. Opponents of | this measure say it would give the President wholesale and unlimited po- litical power over the entire Govern- ment establishment, would bring back 8 “spoils system,” would throw the | civil service open to political patron- age and would set aside hundreds of | acts of Congress setting up various | Government establishments with spe- cific duties. Leaders in Congress still feel cer- tain the only reorganization measure that will be passed is the one that | gives the President power to appoint six additional “administrative assist- ants.” They say that the most the administration can expect beyond this | is to blanket into the classified civil | service the “‘New Deal” agencies of the | Government—which is outside of lhei other three bills advocated, and which has the support of the regularly con- | stituted House Civil Service Commit- tee.

In identical letters to Rear Admiral Adolphus Andrews, chief of the Bu-l reau of Navigation, and Rear Admira! | Russell R.
