Reorganization Revival Hinted in Senate Talk
Washington reports circulated in the Senate that administration leaders may try to revive the government reorganization program after the House recently pigeonholed it.

The War Department seeks funds to build giant Alaska and coastal air bases, with Chairman May requesting 120 million dollars for bases and posts, while the Navy asks over 5 million for a Kodiak base on Alaska Bay.
