WISHES *7 BYRON PRICE Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington For the last hundred years pro posals for reorganization tn tlse ; federal government have produced I more taftc than action. I Usually the results have been I negligible, and the maneuvering, i m It was, superficial for the i sake of effect only. More likely ■ than not this suited the politicians involved. Comes now the year 1937, with talk of reorganisation and economy again In’'the van. Mr. Roosevelt j himself has spoken with some di rectness on the subject. He said j emphatically that his essential pur J pose was a sound business organlz ; atlon, and intimated there would i be no drastic chopping off of agen i eies. Economy was to be of second j ary consideration. Nervous bureaucrats, members of congress and others immediately pounced upon his comment for some Inner significance. It seem ed to coincide neatly with the re , turn to Washington of many sen • ators and representatives. What better economy textbook could they j ask? • • • Three Survey* Overlap i Again, Mr. Roosevelt is not a stranger to the wet Anger test of public opinion. If necessary, he still can advance or retreat from his original position. Something o^ a paradox has come about through the reorganization discussions, for three committees which overlap to a certain extent in personnel and purposes are studying the huge government structure. The avowed purpose of each is to eliminate dup lication of activity. Senator Byrd heads the senate committee and he is an old-time campaigner for economy. As gov ernor of Virginia he waded through more than 100 departments and ended up with 11 units, each re sponsible to him. If his action there can be taken as a criterion, his remedy would seem to be a mixing of consolidation for the sake of better administration with outright reduction in personnel. How, then, will he feel about in timations from the White House that new cabinet phetsjnay be cre ated. that the saving of money is incidental to effective administra tion? The senator has been at odds with the President before. • • • Logical Time To Act Mr. Roosevelt obviously does not want a breach to develop In the handling of reorganization. That might be why he said he intended to confer with Buchanan, chairman of the special house committee, and Byrd. Their ideas then could be disclosed privately to him. Now. If ever, would seem the lo gical time to pursue simplification measures. The President holds such a whip hand, over congress that even some Republican mem bers have remained silent though opposed to a measure rather than risk the ire of their constituents. The last Presidential campaign evoked a great Republican outcry against government expenditures. It would not seem feasible then for i a Republican senator or represen tative to raise his voice openly against economy, even though some pet scheme of his own was caught in the wringer. Instead, he probably would suffer in silence. A hint of how reorganization generally may work out can be found in what happened to the ru ral resettlement administration. The President said resettlement was to be transferred to the department of agriculture. Not a protest was heard. Previ ously resettlement was one of about a hundred Independent agencies set up by executive order. Consid erable reshuffling as to the admin istrative functions and places of these agencies can be expected. All in all, the reorganization sit uation is about the same as pre vails in other federal problems. Congress may squirm for a time, but in the end the President will get what he wants. FARMER SHOULD BE PAID FOR HUNTING WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.—<AV The government called on the farm er today to come out from behind his "no hunting signs" and make profitable peace with visiting sports men. “The farmer,” said Col. H. P. Shel don of the bureau of biological sur vey, “should have no more hesita tion in putting a cash price on his i pheasants, quail and rabbits than he does on his wheat, poultry and | butter.” The government has Issued a neat little booklet instructing the agri culturist on the fine points of col lecting fees. , An annual lecture has been in stitute dby the royal society and the department of scientific and in dustrial research.

Today's ===== SMALL TALK -I By MRS. RENN DRUM NO. IT WASN’T TOO MUCH TURKEY AND FRUIT CAKE, not even the constant nibbling on candies, in fact, I haven’t I wen Bii'it at an. The above la an explanation of no column In the last two days, in case anyone has missed it. It took me two days, however, to rest up after having three Sundays, hand , running, to stand up to. Maybe I they weren’t really 6undays, just sort of hybrid days, a cross be tween Sundays and holidays. At any rate, for a gal who works in a news paper office, three days of keeping pace with four small legs, two small tongues and two very agile young brains is a stretchout. • • • • Besides that, 1 have a score to ;setle with Sama Claus. He must be slipping. He left on my hands a movie projector which wouldn't pro ject. so that I spent moet of Christ mas day poring over an instruc tion sheet, adjusting bands and screws until I was dizzy, and watch ing Mickey Mouse straggle drunk enly across a sheet of white card board. Finally, after something like twelve hours of this, mixed with a large amount of back-seat project ing. I exclaimed disgustedly, "Well, I guess I’ll have to take it back and exchange it." I’m still explaining in very con vincing tones that I simply meant j we’d take it to one of the Shelby shops in the hope they might be able to fix it, even though ours came straight from the North Pole. All of which reminds me strongly of Matilda Morris’ remark, "We don’t give our children credit for I much Intelligence when It come* to I Sant* Claus, do we?" , I also hold against him » toy vic trola, which carries a guarantee I didn’t ask for: to stop all adult conversation and force the neigh bors to move out. And I’m charging up to him the loss of several hours sleep and a lot of extra practice In hurdling over toys. The only thing he forgot was a pair of wings for me. to enable me to get across the room without-fall ing and breaking both my neck and my disposition. AS A FITTING CLIMAX TO Christmas my three-year-old took the family skeleton—one of them— out of its closet and rattled It. When Mrs. J. B. Jones, head of his Sunday school department asked him Sunday morning if he had any collection he solemnly replied, "No, you know, my mother spent every penny we had for Christmas.” So, that's what I get for trying to teach him to tell the truth. AND FRANCES AO NEW REPORTS UiRt her young daughter. Betsy Ford, ran a connoisseur’s eye over a box of candy Christmas night and announced, “I’ll take a brassier nut please." She obviously Isn’t as familiar I with Brazil nuts as with feminine wearing apparel. ANOTHER THING"SANTA FOR got was to return that »5 football lost at the beginning of the holi days by the group of youngsters who make up South Washington street's sandlot football team. That football was snatched right out of the air, before their eyes, by as strange a coincidence as they ever expect to meet. Someone made a beautiful punt, the ball sailed through the air In a graceful arc but. Instead of coming to rest In some lad's arms as It should have done, It dived wickedly into the back of a passing truck and rode gaily away In search of a new footbal team. It left bhelnd It sheer conster nation, but not speechless conster nation. Those boys set up a howl of protest and ran down the street behind the truck In a body but hu man motors aren't equipped to overtake high powered trucks and the ears of the truck's driver were deafened by the roar and rattle of his vehicle to the extent that he never dreamed he had accidentally acquired a ball. Thu question now before the team Is not learning signals or de riding who's to carry the ball, but how to raise another 15. NICEST OF THE CHRISTMAS cards were those which brought a note of personal greeting from the sender: those sent by the Horace Griggs, bearing one of Edith’s poems on friendship; another similar one with a picture of the sender's home and a folksy verse, also composed by the mistress of the house shown; and those several others which, though they bore the conventional Christmas scenes and verses, also brought a note from some friend with whom the exchange of letters Is rare. Now that the tumult of Christmas is over I'm already enjoying the taste of those sure-to-eome after Christmas letters from distant friends who write only once or twice each year, Just often enough to keep friendship ties from breaking.
