COMMITTEE TO PLAN PROGRAM Roosevelt Creates Committee Within Cabinet To Draw Plans Washington. Feb. 11 (UPJ President Roosevelt lias crutiled a committee witliin ids cabinet to draw up a program of long range planning which will in time replace Hie puldie works and provide perm-i anent machinery for meeting economic problems, it was revealed at the While House today. Tliis cabinet committee, it was' said, would develop plans for a permanent commission to study tliei whole of the United States by wal l ersheds, to Ret projects in order of their importance and to map out a comprehensive program to ex .tend over a jieriod of years. 1 The aim is to get away from tho ■ hit and miss rivers and harbors and I other construction bills that have ■ been submitted <roni year to year j and which are not based on a deti i nite planning program. It is tiie general thought of the administration to have the cabinet committee submit a report setting j forth tin- scope of tiie proposed ! permanent commission. It would deal first with means Io prevent damage to life and property by flood waters and soil erosion. Broad economic and social as- ' poets of land use also would be considered. | It would be up to tiie commission

in tliis latter connection to determine whether a given area should lie developed or abandoned, although it was pointed out the admiaistru tion has no intention of shifting I large masses of Hie population from one part of the country to the other. It is the idea of Hie President that Hie commission should consider first Hie watershi-d containing I rivers which flow into tile Atlantic; I second, tiie watershed drained by tiie Gulf of Mexico and third, that drained by the Pacific. Decentralization of industry would be another question for tincommission. In explaining this, it was added that tiie administration has in mind the proposition of find i ing industrial work part of the time ; for persons who arc aide to work ’ on the soil for a period each year.
