WASHINGTON
- Washington, Jirijf) 5? A reorgani
zation of thr whole rationing set-up,
?0 far aa food it concerned, is ex
pected shortly in view of President
Truman's reoent statement pledging
that the meat situation would be im
proved and here would be a single
control over food. Many member*
of congress have argued that the
lood situation was largely ? matter
of "too many cooks spoiling the
broth."
If the single control idea goes
through, the man who will 'probably
have that control will btf Clinton
Anderson, the new /secretary of agri
culture. This was suggested in. a
proposal made by former President
Hoover, which will help get Repub
lican backing for the plan. And if
President Truman and Mr. Hoover
agree on approximately the same
plan it should not face much diffi
culty in getting congressional ap
proval.,,
If food control is put entirely in
the hands of the department of agri
culture, the work of the office of
price administration would be con
siderably cut down. This would be
all right with many members of con
gress who, during the hearings on
tha bill to extend the OPA, favored
limiting the work of OPA to the job
of handling the mechanical details
of rationing.
* ? ?
Lawyers in congress are enjoying
informal discussions of the sugges
tion which President Truman threw
into their laps that the rules be
changed regarding the succession of
officers of the government to the
presidency. At the present time
the secretary of state would become
president should anything happen to
Mr. Truman. But the President
pointed out that members of the
cabinet are appointed by him and
not elected by the people and that
it would be more democratic to have
an elected member of the govern
ment take over. He suggested that
the order of succession be changed
so that, if he should die, the speaker
of the house or the president of the
senate be next in line. This bill has
passed the house and is now before

the senate.
The President's plan raised im
mediate objections such aa these:
The speaker of the house might be
a Republican when the people had
voted for the Democratic party; the
speaker waa only elected by the
people of one state and might not
be the choice of the citizens of the
other 47 states; no change could be
made by congress but would have to
be made by a constitutional amend
ment.
? ? ?
A sweeping revision df the Wag
ner labor relations act, aimed at
avoiding a major postwar fight be
tween labor and management, is
now being considered by the senate.
The legislation calls for substitut
ing compulsory arbitration of dis
putes for strikes and virtually
makes strikes Illegal. It also bans
unfair labor practices by labor itself
instead of lust by management,
eliminates the ci. ?td shop unless it
is approved by 75 percent of work
ers, and restricts government control
over labor to businesses operating
directly in interstate commerce.
Although the measure already has
been attacked by labor leaders as
being one mat "turns back the
clock," it has met with consider
able popularity in congress. There
is no char><x> that it will be rushed
through, but it will tend to bring
labor legislation to the forefront for
many months to come.

to avoid a serious shortage, says
Tom Scott, chairman of the State
AAA committee, at State College. '
