In addition to Lspecified powers given the president. the bill would authorize him to exer- cise other powers necessary to main- tain practical government operation, -nd to delegate his authority to any agency. Under the last provision the presi- dent is expected to issue a'I order transferring to Director General M'- Adoo all functions vested in the chief executive. Added Vower For Government The broad power which the adminis- tration would have over the roads is illustrated by the bill's provision that the president r.ight order any exten- sion or improvements and advance funds necessary for these. The pro- ceedure in such cases would be for the road to issue bonds to finance the' improvements and these bonds would be absorbed by the government revolv- ing fund. If congre passes the bill with a $500,000,000 appropriation, this sum will have to be raised by issue of ad- ditional liberty bonds unless it should become apparent that economies un der the government pooling system are sufficient to counterbalance spe- cial expenditures and meet a possible deficit in this year's earnings, undr a standard return.
