Full Reorganization Powers For Truman Urged By Group
A Hoover Commission report urges Congress to grant President Truman full power to reorganize the federal government. It calls for a plan to modernize the vast federal estab lishment with no agency exempt, for proposals to take effect unless both houses disapprove within 60 days, and to remove congressional hands from administrative fields. The group cites potential $3 billion in annual savings and notes 277 recommendations from its two year effort aided by task force experts. Budget analysts say roughly a third can be implemented by order, while the rest require Congress. House and Senate differ over exemptions and veto rules.

The plan keeps most features but reduces generals funding and adds continued family allowances through enlistment. The bottom enlisted pay could rise from 75 to 80 dollars with higher boosts for next grades. World War II veterans who helped push it earlier will be consulted.
