Presidential Adviser Says|

‘Issue in End Will Prevail’ .

ST. LOUIS, April 20 (U. P)— Prediction of victory for Administration - forces seeking to enact a Government reorganization bill was made in a ‘speech prepared for delivery today before the National League of Women Voters by Charles

E. Merriam, professor - of . political Science at the University of Chi-

tessor Merriam, once adviser ‘to President Herbert Hoover on organization, branded as “sham issues” arguments that prompted a barrage of telegrams against the reorganization bill, a measure which would have combined various Governmental agencies. Mr. Merriam said the terms of the bill were nonpartisan. He was one of the three Presidential advisers who drew up the report on which the bill was based. In regard to the plan brought out in 1937 by the President’s committee on administrative management, Mr, Merriam said:

No Presidential Pressure

“The report was wholly a nonpartisan document. The committee had an absolutely free hand, without any direction of pressure by President Roosevelt or anyone else and its recommendations would have

applied equally to any administration of any party. “The principles of this reorganization measure were sound and good and in the end they will prevail.” Mr. Merriam spoke at the final session of the five-day biennial convention of the League. A meeting of the General Council will end the convention late today. The League adopted a four-point program of activity for . the . next two years after re-electing Miss Marguerite M. Wells, Minneapolis, president. Uniform Marriage Laws Asked The principal item ‘indorsed was legislation for uniform marriage and divorce laws. Others were: Removal of administrative -and legal discriminations against women by specific legislation, sound relationship between sources of income and expendifure needs of government and support of child labor legislation. In addition to Miss Wells, officers elected were: Mrs. Harris R. Baldwin, Washington, D. C., first vice president; Mrs. Donald Hutchinson, New York, second vicé president; Mrs. Paul Eliel, Palo Alto, Cal, secretary; Mrs. Walter Fisher, Winnetka, Ill. treasurer, and Mrs. La Ruse Brown, Boston; Mrs. Ruric N. Smith, Tulsa, Okla.; Mrs. George Gellhorn, St. Louis, and Mrs. Elliott Corbett,

lan “Good night, it’s cold up here,” were her first words. © Her * teeth chattered. Then she was gone. The wind had lifted her sailor hat off her head. It rolled, dodged a sewer, dared an approaching automobile and tried to crash the gate at the far end of the field. Known as “Katie” When she returned she had a runner in her stocking. : Called “Katie” by her friends, Miss Rawls is a fair-haired girl of 20, with a square jaw and a suggestion of freckles across her nose, She is here to defend her titles at the national swimming championship meets this week-end at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. Slightly built, she is trying to gain eight pounds. She is thin because Wimpy, her pet monkey, bit her and she had to have antiteta-

nus shots, which made her sick. “I'm off pets,” she said. “I had

the cutest little bull snake—a very |.

gentle little snake, and he died.” The worst experience: in her career was two years ago when she nearly drowned while swimming in} the ocean during hurricane weather. Even though she was caught by the undertow, she said she was not frightened because “she knew what was happening and she just held her breath.” On her arrival at the Municipal Airport yesterday afternoon, she wore a navy blue dress with a blue and white bolero, blue open-toed pumps, 8 navy hat with a contrast-

ing band and a Sigma Chi pin upon which she refused to comment. On the reception committee were Miss Joan Fox, I. A. C. swimmer who competed with her in New York; Harold Ross, C. H. Hammond, a club member, and Richard Papenguth, club athletic director. Challenging the Rawls medley title is Helene Rains of the New York Woman's Swimming Associa-

tion, who arrived this morning for the meets. Miss Rains, who has just come into the aquatic limelight, bettered the Rawls record by two seconds March 1 in New Haven.

How about “the Rains kid?” Katie |

Rawls grinned. “Boy, I hear she’s going to town,” she said.
