HASKERVIM Raleigh, Jan. 21. —The plans for the reorganization of the State govern ment ao proposed by the joint legis lative committee on governmental re organization, proved a body blow to a number of State department heads, es pecially some of the ‘‘divine right” elected State officials. But reports to day from over the State indicate that thesi p'ans are being approved by the rank and file of the taxpayers and that they are expecting and demand ing that the General Assembly eli minate every State department and agency not absolutely necessary. A saving of about 2,000,000 a year will result if these plans are carried out, the committee says. The virtually unanimous vpte with which the report of the Comthittee on Governmental Reorganization iyais ap proved in both the House and Senate is regarded as indicating the eventual enactment pf .most of the legislation necessary to put the recommendations contained in the report into effect. At almost any other time the department heads and employes affected would probably be able to muster enough po litical strength to defeat the proposals But with economic conditions and public opinion now arrayed almost solidly against them, indications are that, they Will be able to make little resistence. Long Over Due. ‘‘The stepj recommended in the re port of the committee should have been taken years ago, but previous general assemblies have lacked the nerve to buck the politically entrench ed departments and divisions involv ed," is the opinion freely expressed here today. It is agreed that the pre sent economio situation, coupled with the temper of the public generally de manding radical curtailment of gov ernmental costs, are going- to prove the most powerful Influence's in bring ing about the changes recommended.
