Washington. April 22. A up government reorganization retarded by years of dispute Between Republican and democratic Peai Lents and Congress was about to be in. Today. The first of a series of reorganization orders probably will go to Congress next week. It will become effective within 60 Days unless a majority of each House rejects it. Congress specifically protected 21 More or less Independent government agencies from presidential reshuffling. These include most of the major commissions administrations and boards. Cabinet departments Are protected against abolition although various functions of any May be shifted around. A typical Republican comment on the government reorganization Bill passed at this session was that of rep. Everett Dickens r., Iii a it is authorization to rearrange the Flowers in the governmental vase but no Flowers shall be removed even though a bit there was opposition protest that reorganization would not obtain any significant Economy.
