proposal is that a more definit ef-
fort is not being made to put the
federal personnel work into the De-
partment of the Treasury. In the
past the Commission has suffered, be-
cause it has lacked prestige to back
it uP. and because it had a difficult
time getting approriations. Moving
the department into the Treasury
would remedy these defects I believe,"
Professor Benson said.
The ideal set-un would be to havr
the exitna commission headed h
one Pan reonsihle directly to the
SAovetarv of the Treasurv-or po-
sibly to the President, as the director
of the budget is now, he suggested.
The reorganization of administra-.
tive agencies is a tak which in gen-
eral only the President is able to
carry out. he continued. for experi-
ence has shown that particular clien-
teles have friends in Congress who
have opposed suggested changes. The
7tuvision that changes in administra-
tive agencies may be rejected by
Congress within 60 days, as contained
in the bill passed by the Senate yes-
terdav. seems like a sufficient safe-
guard, he said.
Also, vWhile the President may abol-
ish an agency, he can not abolish a
function, Professor Benson said. Fur-
thermore, a positive check is put on
the President in his reorganization
plans by Congress' power to regulate
appropriations.
As to the Welfare reorganization,
Professor Benson believes that con-
solidatian into one' department is
necessary. He cited a study made by
Prof. E. P. Herring of Harvard show-
ing that different social welfare
agencies had been put into bureaus
opposed to the interests of the agen-
cies and had suffered as a result. One
of these examples, he continued, is
the food and drug bureau placed
in the Department of Agriculture.
Opposition to appointing six as-
sistants to the President has centered
chiefly around the charge that the
assistants would work under cover
because of their anonymity. The
anonymity clause was inserted to pre-
vent these offices from becoming
plhms for politicians, Professor Ben-
sou said.
"It is absurd to suppose that their
work must all be secret, for the re-
suits of their investigations would
appear in the decisions of the Pres-
ident," he explained.
"The howl that has been set up
against reorganization makes me
feel that protests are largely efforts tc
gain publicity and prestige for the
com:ng election, and these protest
do rot savor of the recognition of
th., needs of the federal government,"
he sidc[.
I Tenture to predict that if this bill
is not passed by the present Demo-
cratic administration that most of its
fuatures will eventually be passed b
some Republican administration.

Dr. Koo, "is for the students them-
selves. The facilities in China have!
been provided; administrative ex-
penses have been met by gifts fromM
outside universities."
The first act of war by the Japan-
ese, explained Dr. Koo, was "simply
to send planes to Tientsin and bomb3
the largest university, Nankai. 25
years of planning and effort were
nullified in one night."
Nearly one-third of all China's ed-
ucational institutions were within the
Nanking-Shanghai-Hankow district,
explained Dr. Koo, and it is this dis-
trict which the Japanese have largely
destroyed.
Four international student groups
are supporting the drive to relieve'
Chinese students in the interior. They
include the World Student Christian
Federation, the Pax Romani, The In-
ternational Student Service, and sev-
eral radical student groups.

Turning that corner neared actuality in speech of Gen. Hugh S.
Johnson (above) who told Economic Club of New York that he believes
"we have turned a corner toward improvement-so much so that I think
the market is a buy." He also predicted trend toward conservatism in
federal government.
