Washington—Making like they
meant business, the Congress gave
go signal to keep streamlining the
government’s figui : on a weight-
reducing diet to last until April, 1955
After a lot of talk about signal
switches from the- White House to
the Republican committee members
and about a simple majority veto
the House voted 389 to 5 to let this
Hoover Commission recommendations
go on for the next two years with-
out any strings attached. Obviously
that’s exactly what the House want-
ed or they wouldn't have given the
Chief Executive this authority so
overwhelmingly.
This gives the President exactly
the same power as the past about
submitting Hoover Commission rec-
ommendations to the Congress. He

of this streamlining, however, has
already been done. Many of the
Hoover Commission lecommendations j
have already been put into effect. ;
There are still some bulges left, ;
though, that are in need of attention, j
Federal reorganization is not a one
deal game. Change is constant ifi
our 20th century American govern-
ment. The reorganization plan and
the Congress recognize this condition,
permitting a continually developing
approach to the problem.
As far as Congress is concerned,

death in 1949.

to Kinney County, Texas about 1912 ‘

where they lived oh a ranch. In 1920
they moved to Cotulla where she re-
