President Seeks Major Reorganization Of Government
President Roosevelt unveiled a sweeping plan to overhaul the federal machine by adding two new departments social welfare and public works and renaming Interior the conservation department. It would place over 100 agencies under the departments and replace the comptroller general with an auditor general. The Civil Service would expand to cover more positions and the plan emphasizes efficiency, not economy, with potential savings of 30 million dollars from a 7 billion dollar budget, but faces strong congressional opposition and a likely bitter battle.
