ran wkbkin a 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 Flower Shop ICi^ ' "^vXT' ij&f ** ' *v ; 1 > Changing the Map 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> that it will be rushed through, but it will tend to bring labor legislation to the forefront for many months to come.
