This bill, if passed, will go a long way toward simpli fying the task of the Executive. It embodies reforms which every President in recent years has urg ed upon Congress. But it contains so many other provisions, espec ially conferring permanent add ed authority upon the President, that there is a good deal of doubt whether It will be adopted. The reorganization plan, as it stands, would give the President authority to shift and consolidate THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA the hundreds of bureaus, "ad ministrations," commissions and independent offices of the Gov ernment, putting them, with few exceptions, into the various, cab inet departments, consolidating their financial and accounting systems and curtailing the au thority of many of them. It cre ates a new Cabinet department, the Department of Welfare, and changes the name of the Interior Department to Department. of Conservation. The President ask ed for still another new depart ment, of Public Works, but this was stricken out, by the Senate committee. The proposal of the President includes the enlargement of his White House staff by giving him six more assistants, whose Job would be to keep track of what the different departments are doing and report directly and se cretly to the President. These men were described in the report of a commission which worked out the plan for the President, as persons with "a passion for anonymity." Nobody but the President would even know who they were. What is sticking in the craw of many Senators is that part of the proposal which would deprive Congress of its present power to control the expenditure of public funds through the General Ac counting Office, which now re ports directly to Congress. The General Accounting Office must pass on every voucher for the payment of Federal money to anybody. If it cannot find explicit authority in law for the payment, the voucher is not approved, and neither the President nor anyone else has power to force its pay ment. This office was created in 1921, under the direction of the Comptroller-General, who is ap pointed by the President for a fifteen year term, but cannot be removed by him, and is account able directly to Congress. Only one man, John A. McCarl, has ever held the post of Comptroller- General. His term expired on June 30, 1936, and President Roosevelt has not named a suc cessor. The effect of the author ity of the Comptroller-General and the General Accounting Of fice has been to prevent money appropriated for one purpose from being used for any other purpose. The President's proposal Is to substitute an Auditor-General, who instead of checking expendi tures before they are made, will audit all payments after they have been made, under the con trol of the Secretary of the Treas ury. This is the point upon which the opponents of the whole plan of reorganization will make their strongest fight. How far the President will go in exerting pressure on Congress for his reorganization plan, and in renewing his attempt to reor ganize the Supreme Court, re mains to be seen. There was a very "cocky" feeling among Sen ators and Representatives when Congress adjourned, a feeling that they had stood out against the President and won, in the Court fight. Many felt that this was a demonstration of the Inde pendence of the Legislative De partment of the Federal system, and that it would be followed by further demonstrations that the Executive could no longer dictate to them. That feeling has been strengthened, rather than other wise, by the recent charges against Senator Hugo Black of Alabama, recently named to the Supreme Court bench. The allegation, after Congress had adjourned and Justice Black had taken the oath of his new of fice as a full-pledged member of the Supreme Court, that he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, came as a surprise and shock both to the President and to the Sen ate. A similar charge was made when the confirmation was pend ing, but was denied in his behalf by Senatorial friends, who block ed all efforts to have a committee of investigation look into the ac cusation. At that time, and since, many Senators who voted for his confirmation have said they would not have done so had they suspected that the Senator was a member of the Klan. Many others who would not have objected to his appointment on. that ground, are perturbed because of the al leged lack of frankness on Mr. Black's part in not disclosing the facts, and the apparent failure of the President to inform himself fully about Mr. Black's antece dents before naming him to the irrevocable office of Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Even those who recognize that an ambitious politician is hardly to be criticized if he seeks and ac cepts Klan support, deplore the failure to bring all the facts into the open. The situation does not tend to strengthen the President's influ ence with the Senate, and it may encourage further resistance ito his requests for more power, when Congress meets again.
