Lady Cabinet Head Studies Job Carefully Oveta Culp Hobby Secretary Os New . Government Post WASHINGTON UP — Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, the' newest, cabinet officer, is following a look-before-you-leap policy a& secretary of health, education, and welfare. •Mrs. Hobby hasn’t started any new programs for her far-flung department, and has suspended only one inherited from the preceding administration. Instead she ordered a survey of every “basic law” affecting th? department to see if it qow is doing more, less or exactly what it should under those jlaWs. The study is being made by department per-, sonnel and an outside! non-profit corporation. Other .future surveys may play an important part in determining what changes may be made ultimately. The commission on feder-al-state relations which President (Eisenhower plans to set Up is expected to have a big effect, since 93 per cent of the department’s budget goes for various grants to the states. Mrs. Hohby also is planning to use the study approach oh the one suspended program- the Food and Drug Administration’s campaign to seize filthy grain before it reachesthe flour mills'. She and Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson propose to set up an advisory committee to develop plans for promoting cleaner grain. •Mrs. Hobby! who was co-pirblish-er of the Houston Tex; Post aflid World War II head of the WAC’s. joined the Eisenhower administration ih January as chief of the o’ 1 Federal Security Agency. Although sh e attended Cabinet sessions from the start, she did npt become cabinet officer until April, when the agency was promoted to a depa::jnent at the President’s request. The reorganization, backed by Mrs. Hobby, did not change the basic functipns of the department, which handles such widespread things as federal old-age insurance program; public assistance, hospital and certain educational and niedical research grants, enforcement of pure food laws, and public health work. These basic programs are set by Congress and can be changed only by it. The reorganisation did give Mrs. Hobby more leeway in internal administration of tile department, and four new top ai.iesL-an undersecretary, twjo assistant secretaries and d special assistant for medical affairs. Only the undersecretary's poit has filled so far, by Nelson A. Rockefeller. Nine other ! new officials have been appointed as replacements or to fill vacancies, but the position of social security commissioner has
