Scandinavian Envoys Here Are Encouraged By British Support Norwegian Minister Says Country Will Fight to Last Ditch ; By CARTER BROOKE JONES. ‘The Scandinavian Legations, still without direct word from their em- battled governments, scanned news- papers and listened to broadcasts anxiously today, meanwhile keeping in close touch with their shipping and other interests in this country, Norwegian Minister Wilhelm Munthe de Morgenstierne and Danish Minister Henrik de Kauff- mann were reported distinctly en- eouraged by the fierce fight which the British apparently were waging to dislodge the Nazi invader. These envoys also were bolstered in a dark hour by the attitude of the American Government, which had made it clear that no conquest through force would be recognized by thi$ country. Both Ministers had been informed of President Roosevelt's executive order that Norwegian and Danish bank deposits and other assets in the country be impounded to pre- vent their possible seizure by the Germans. Many Ships in U. 8. Ports. The swift and unheralded inva- sion of Denmark and Norway found many ships of both countries, mostly freighters, in ports of the United Btates. The Norwegian Minister said masters of Norwegian vessels had asked for instructions, but he had hesitated to send any and had asked them to stand by pending further developments. At the Danish Legation it was said Danish ships likewise had been asked to stay where they are for the present. These include the Danish merchant marine training ship “Danmark,” now docked at Jackson- ville, Fla. The Danmark, with 120 cadets aboard, visited Washington last fall. The Norwegian Minister, who late yesterday held his first press con- ference since his country was in- vaded, expressed confidence Norway would fight to the last ditch in de- fense of her liberty and independ- ence. ‘The Danish Minister, after a visit to the White House, said he had received clear indication from Pres- ident Roosevelt that this Govern- ment would continue to recognize him as the legal Envoy of his coun- try despite its forced surrender to the Nazi military machine. It was explained at the Danish Legation that “the international status and the friendly relations between Denmark and Iceland have been affected in no way whatsoever by the necessary steps taken by the Icelandic Parliament.” Reports that the fundamental relations between the two countries had been changed, it was added, were without foundation and could be due only to misunderstanding of their actual relationship. It was pointed out that since 1918 Iceland and Denmark had been free and in- landic union®act of 1916. Statement Issued. ‘The Legation statement added: “Due to the, present sitpation, when all connections are cut off ‘be- tween Denmark and Iceland, it is impossible to send bills passed by the Icelandic Parliament to Den- mark for the signature of his majesty the King or to give instruc- tions to the Danish foreign service concerning the foreign policy of Ice- land. Therefore, the Icelandic Par- liament has found it necessary to resolve that the executive power invested in the King, according to the Icelandic constitution, for the time being will be carried out by the Icelandic cabinet.” Offers of aid, financial and per- sonal, poured into both legations. It was said that numerous Ameri- cans of Norwegian or Danish descent had volunteered for military service. All offers of assistance were filed away for the time being pending instructions from the governments. At the Swedish Legation the same eomment of the last two days was forthcoming: “No news.” Hoped for Lasting Peace. ‘The Norwegian Minister, who has been connected with the Legation here off and on for 30 years, said at his press conference yesterday: “Our efforts to aid the cultural de- velopment of our people perhaps was destructive of our national defense. ‘We had hoped that the world would turn away from the barbarism of war.” The Minister paused, looked over the heads of the newspaper people gathered in the spacious living room of the new Legation at Thirty-fourth and Massachusetts avenue, and added quietly: “But we have been forced by this ruthless invasion to take up arms in defense of our freedom and inde- pendence. There was no other choice, and I pray to God we will win.” Explaining that he thought he knew something of the American people after spending most of 30 years among them, he said he knew Norway could count on the sympathy and understanding “of our great sis- ter democracy, the United States.” Reorganization (Continued From First Page.) over State marine and nautical schools. By the terms of the act, which expires next January 20, the Pres- ident’s orders become effective 60 days from the submission to Con- gress ‘unless both branches take dis- epproving action within that time. In suggesting that the law be re- enacted Mr. Roosevelt warned the Congress: “The structure and man- agement of our Government, like the activities and services it performs, must be kept abreast of social and economic change.” Congress in Brief TODAY.

Her case has been to the Supreme Court before, Miss Shelley explained today, after having been passed on unfavorably to her .by the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals at Cincin- nati, but she lost out in the highest court because of a technicality—she filed one day too late in petitioning for a writ of certiorari. While the Supreme Court has definitely de- cided that aliens desiring to become titizens must swear to bear arms for the country, Miss Shelley maintains that it has never been decided in the case of repatriate. ‘While she does not belong to any of the regulariy-organized religious groups, Miss Shelley—who prefers the use of her maiden name in pub- lic, although married—asserts that she is associated with the Fellow- ship of Reconciliation, which is pred- icated on the Sermon on the Mount, and is akin to the belief of the Quakers, Miss Shelley explains that she was born some 53 years ago in Haw- thorne, Pa., and was a school teach- er. Her father was a Methodist minister of Mennonite ancestors, who came to the United States with the Penn colony. Their beliefs for- bid the bearing of arms and the engaging in war. In 1922 she mar- ried a man who came from Ger- many and who took out his first papers for American citizenship, but apparently lost them. Tnh May, 1931, the County Cireuit Court of Marshall, Mich., refused her repatriation, she says, as did the Circult Court at Battle Creek, and in 1936, the Fedetal District Court at Detroit declined to admit her to American citizenship again, and this decision was affirmed by the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals at Cincinnati, Miss Shelley asserts. ‘Today she pointed out that it was evident that Justice Florence Allen of that tribunal indicated sympathy to her cause, but felt herself bound by the Supreme Court decisions in the Schwimmer and McIntosh cases regarding aliens bearing arms, Scratches Bowie (Clear and fast.)

American folk dances by the Evelyn Davis Text of Letter on Fourth Reorganization Plan President Suggests Number of Interdepartmental Changes to Cut Costs and Increase Efficiency The text of sident Roosevelt’s letter proposing the fourth Federal reorganization plan, submitted to- day to Congress, follows: To the Congress of the United States: One year ago the Congress di- rected the President to investigate the organization of the executive establishment and to submit plans for such transfers, consolidations and’ abolitions of ageéncies as were found necessary and desirable. Shortly thereafter I submitted reorganization No. I, which im- proved the over-all management of the executive branch. This was fol- lowed by reorganization Plan No II, which effected a better allocation of certain agencies and activities among departments. Although these two plans have been in effect less than a year, their benefits have al- ready been gratifying. I have found the task of co-ordinating the work of the executive branch less diffi- cult. Many improvements in service have occurred, and substantial econ- omies have resulted. Reorganization Plan No. III, re- cently submitted, is a third step which will improve intradepartment- al management through internal ad- justments in certain agencies. I am now proposing a fourth re- organization plan which provides for a number of interdepartmental reorganizations. These changes are designed to increase efficiency in the administration of Government services by a more logical grouping of certain functions and by a fur- ther reduction in the number of independent agencies reporting di- rectly to the Chief Executive. Accordingly, I am transmitting herewith reorganization plan No. IV, which after investigation, I have prepared in pursuance of section 4 of the Reorganization Act of 1939 (Public NoN. 199, Seventy-sixth Congress, first session) approveq April 3, 1939, and I declare with re- spect to each reorganization made in this plan, that I have found such reorganization necessary to accom- plish one or more of the purposes of section 1 (a) of the act: 1, To reduce expenditures; 2. To increase efficiency; 3. To consolidate agencies ac- cording to major purposes; 4. To reduce the number of agencies by consolidating those having similar functions and by abolishing such as may not be ne 5 5. To eliminate overlapping and duplication of effort. ‘The plan I now transmit I shall describe briefly as follows: Department of State: The Domin- fcan Customs Receivership is trans- ferred to the Department of State from the Division of Territories and Island Possessions in the Depart- ment of the Interior. The State De- partment is the most appropriate agency to supervise this activity which involves relations with a for- eign government. Treasury Department: The plan transfers to the Secretary of the the function of the At~ torney General of approving out- of -court ntt.lemenn‘— iy termed compromises—of cases under the Federal Alcohol Admin- istration Act which have not, prior to com) , been. referred to the Department of Justice for prosecu- tion. The present requirement that the Attorney General approve all comprongises results in a cumber- some, time-consuming procedure which the small arfounts involved do not warrant. The proposed handling will be simpler, less likely to cause delay, and consistent with the pro- cedure now followed in compromises arising under other acts which the 'nm\uy Department administers. of Justice: Executive No. 6166, issued June 10, lfil:'. tralizing disbursement work. In ef- fectuating the plan, however, I have found it necessary to postpone its application to United States mar- shals because of the unusual char- acter of their disbursing work in serving the courts. Experience indl- cates that this arrangement should be continued. I am proposing, there- fore, the permanent transfer of the Qlisbursegnent : funétion “of Jnited States marshals from the Treasury De lent to the Department of Justice, Post Qffice Department: It has also been found desirablesto con: tinue pérmanently in the Post Office Department the disbursement ' of Post Office funds. The special char= acter of the work of this depart- ment, involving disbursements in thousands of post offices throughout the Nation, requires here, as well as in the case of the United States marshals, a departure from the sound theory of central disbursing. With its far-flung facilities the Post Office Department is better equipped to carry on this work than the Division of Disbursement. Another proposal affecting the Post Office Department relates to the transportation of mail and other material between departments. In the early Colonial days, the inter- change of correspondence and mes- sages was by the simple hand-to- hand method. Gradually a more systematic device became nece: to transport messages, with the re- sultant evolution of the postal serv- ice. Business and private citizens 1n general have made use of that service, and today we have in our Post Office Department the most efficient organization of its kind in the world, However, here in the Cap- ital City, the Federal Government, instead of utilizing fully the re- sources of the Post Office Depart- ment to maintain its mail and mes- senger service, has permitted a mul- tiplicity of interdepartmental mes- senger services, each serving its own department, bureau, or agency. This duplication of services is uneconom- ical and results in a constant criss- crossing and overlapping of per- sonnel and equipment, all engaged in a common activity. I am sure that the average citizen in Wash- ington, as well as officials of the Government itself, have wondered at this paradox whereby the Federal Government is failing to make the fullest use of one of its own agencies which is specially equipped to ren- det a simple, centralized service for all the other agencies. This reor- ganization plan proposes to do ex- actly that; to provide for the trans- portation of mail, documents, pack- ages, and similar material between all buildings occupied by Govern- ment offices on & regularly scheduled basis of sufficient frequency to meet the reasonable and normal require- ments of these offices and to reduce to & minimum the constant dis- patching of messengers on so-called urgent and emergency errands. This service will be available on & reim- bursement basis to the agencies ex- empted by the Reorganization Act. Department of the Interior. I propose to transfer to the De- partment of the Interior the activie servation on lands under the juris- diction of the Interior Department, With respect to private lands, the soll conservation work of thd Fed- eral Government is primarily of a consultative character and can best be carried on by the Department of Agriculture through co-operation of the farmers the coun- try. In the case of Federal lands, this work includes the actual appli- catign. by the Government of soil this objective under previous reor- ganization plans. I am now pro- posing another step in this direction by placing the Civil Aeronautics Authority within the framework of the Department of Commeérce. Re- organization Plan No. III, which deals with intradepartmental changes, draws a more practical separation between the functions of {the “Aaministrator and the Civj} Aetonfiutics Board. In Plan IV, which is comcerned with interde- partmental reorganization, I am bringing the authority into the de- partmental structure. The admin- trator will report to: the Secretary of Commerce. The five-member board, however, will perform its rule-making, adjudicative and in- vestigative functions independent of the department. In the interest of efficiency it will be supplied by the department with budgeting, ac- counting, procurement and other office services. As a result of the adjustments provided in Plans IIT and IV, T believe the Civil Aero- nautics Board will be able effec- tively to carry forward the impor- tant work of accident investigation heretofore performed by the Air Safety Board. In addition to the effective and co-ordinated dis- charge of accident investigation work which this transfer will fa- cilitate, economies in administra ticn will be possible. The importance of the Weather Bureau’s functions to the,Nation's commerce has also led to the deci- sion to transfer this bureau to the Department of Commerce. The de- velopment of the aviation industry has imposed upon the Weather Bu- reau & major responsibility in the fleld of - air tgé\spurtlflon. ‘The. transfer to the Department of Com- merce, as provided in this plan, will permit better co-ordinationl of Gov- ernment activities relating to avia- tion and to commerce generally— without in any way lessening the bureau'’s contribution to agriculture. Depattment of Labor: The plan transfers te the Sécretary of Labor the functigns of the Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of the Interior relating to the enforce- ment of um wage provi- sions in“contracts for Federal cdbn- structjon. The Secretavy of Labor is responstble by law for the deter- mination of the prevailing wage rates dncluded in Government con- { tracts and should properly - have Tomplete responsibility for their en- forcement. e United States Maritime Commis- sion: T propose to transfer to th United States Maritime Commis- sion the functions of the Secretary of the Navy relating to State ma- rine and nautical schools. These schools are deyoted to training young men for junior officer posi- tions in the merchant marine. The general responsibility for .develop- ing facilities for the training of merchant marine personnel is vest- ed in the Maritime Commission. The proposed transfer will thus permit closer co-ordination of the nautical schools with the training work of the Maritime Commission. Federal Security Agency: The Federal Security Agency has as its major purposes the promotion of social and economic security, edu- cational opportunity, and the health of the citizens.. The functions of 8t. Elizabeth’s Hospital, Freed- men’s Hospital, Howard University and Columbia Institution for the Deaf plainly come squarely within these purposes.

Church Editors Told Un-American Forces’ Work Well-Hidden Reputable Agencies May Be Propaganda Fronts, Speaker Says Well-camouflaged machinery is being employed by sponsors of un- American doctrines in the promotion of their ideas; Dr. L.'M. Birkhead, secretary of the Priends of Democ- racy, warned Protestant editors to- day at a session of the Associated Church Press Conference in the ‘Wardman Park Hotel. i “Reputable auspices have been en= listed as fronts for the propaganda,” Dr. Birkhead declared. The Friends of Democracy execu- tive was one of two speakers ap- pearing before a round-table dis- cussion of un-American activities. Leo Swartz of Equality Magazine, New York City, also was heard. A delegation headed by Dr. Guy Emery Shipler, - editor of the Churchman, Epi: 1 publication, and president of the Associated Church Press, called on President Roosevelt at the'White House shortly before noon. The group also in- cluded Dr. Richard W. Shipley editor of the Methodist Protestant Recorder, and J. Edward Moseley of Agency than with any other Federal organization. 8 I fufther propose to transfer to the Federal Security Agency the Food and Drug Administration, with the exception of two activities,in- timately related, to the work of the ent of Agriculture. The work of the Food and Drug Admin- istration is unrelated to the basic functions & the Department of Agsiculture. There was, however, no other agency to which these functions more appropriately be- longed until the,Federal Security Agency was created last year. I now believe that the opportunity for the Food and Drug Administration to develop along increasingly o= structive lines lies in this new agency. There is also need for cog ordination of certain of its functions with those of the Public Health Service. To accomplish these ob- Jectives, the plan establishes the administration as a separate unit within the Federal Security Agency., Economies: Functions may be transferred or consolidated under this Reorganization Act, but the abolition of functions is prohibited. Congress alone can curtail or abolish functions now provided by law. Sav- ings must comne fxom administrative expenses, which comprise only a small fraction of Federal expendi- tures. This precludes the making of large reductions in expenditures through “reorganization plans.. The major achievements in tions under this formula must evitably be found in improved man- -angement and more effective service. However, some savings in admin- istrative expenses will be possible under this plan. I estimate the im- mediate annual savings at approxi- mately $300,000. Futufe reorganization needs: The reorganization plans thus far sub- mitted do not exhaust the transfers, consolidations and abolitions that may be necessary and desirable, Some changes that now appear to have merit require ‘further study. It is the responsibility of the Presi- dent as Chief Executive to see that needed adfustments and improve- ments in. administrative organiza- tion are made.

NEW YORK, April 11.—An un- identified station today “blacked out” British news”broadcasts from London, including a short-wave broadcast of the speech in the House of Commons by First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill. The N. B. C. short-wave station reported that reception, up to the moment of the first “jamming,” about 9:30 am., had been excellent. Then a buzzing noise blanketed the British signals. The "jnmmir_lg" occured again as the London station started news of Mr. Churchill's ad- dress. N. B. C. engineers said this was caused by another station broad- casting on the same frequency.

Woman Found Killed In Apartment With Borrowed Revolver Certificate of ‘Suicide Issued; Owner of Gun Finds Body A slender blond woman, about 27, was found shot to death early this morning' in her apartment, 927 G street N.W. Police said she clutched a revolver. She was discovered by a friend, Perry Moy, Chinese cook at the Joy Inn. He told reporters he climbed a fire escape at 5:30 a.m., opened a window and lit a match to discover her body. He said the revolver was his, Police said she was identified by Mr. Moy as Dorothy Schnault of High Point, N. C. He said she had lived in Washington about & year. Mr. Moy's early morning call was due, he declared, to worry over the young woman’s illness and despond- ency. He claimed she had taken his revolver and 15 shells yesterday while he was napping at her fourth- floor apartment and had refused to return them. The Chinese related that this morning he at first pounded on the woman’s door. Receiving no re- sponse, he related, he went to the fire escape through a third-floor apartment occupied by Mrs. .
