CONGRESS MAY REDUCE UNITS

Many Committees, Report to Say.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 (U. P.).— The joint senate-house committee to reorganize congress will shortly recommend that both chambers reduce the number of their committees by more than 50 per cent, it was learned today. A committee member said that a formal report will be made to congress within a month, . As one of its main features, he said, it probably will advocate the consolidation of the 35 senate legislative committees into 13 committees and of the 46 house units into 16. The special 12-member reorganization committee was set up last year to study ways and means of “streamlining” the present legislative set-up of both houses. With Senator Robert M. LaFollette Jr. (Prog. Wis.) as chairman, the committee heard testimony of more than 100 congressmen, government experts and students of political science. ; Five Recommendations

e committee, member said the répott problably would include these other recommendations: 1. An increase in congressional salaries, now $10,000 a year. The committee probably will favor from $15,000 to $20,000. President: Trumaii favors $20,000. 2. A retirement system for congressmen, 3. A better staffing of commit-~ tees. Each committee should have a staff of experts who would be avallable at all times for consultation. 4. An expansion of the present legislative reference counsel, This would call for maintenance of ai staff of legislative experts to help the individual congressman draw up bills and answer his technical and legal questions. 5. The hiring of an “executive assistant” for each representative and senator, The assistant would relieve the congressman of the many routine chores that now compete for his time.

New System Mentioned

The committee member said the report also may recommend a new system of government for the District of Columbia “so that the congress will not have to sit as a city council once every two weeks,” During the hearings, he said, the greatest criticism of congressional machinery centered around the present committee system. Most witnesses felt there was “too much overlapping and duplication.” Under the tentative plan now before the committee, the 13 senate committees would be: Agriculture, appropriations; rules and adminis tration; finance and monetary affairs; labor and public welfare; claims; intéglor; natural resources

"THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES:

Aided in Rescue Of Col.Devereux

A NAVY FLIER, Ensign C. E. Scheffe, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Scheffe, 360 Spencer ave, completed what he considers his most important mission after the war ended. The 23-year= old pilot was among the men who rescued the famed commander of Wake Island, Lt. Col. James P. Devereuxg from his Japanese prison at Hokkiado. Now stationed off Honshu, Ensign Scheffe told his parents in a recent letter how he flew his Avenger torpedo-bomber low over the Jap prison and "first Qf all dropped a “walkie-talkie” and food to the 400 prisoners below. Pifty of the men were Americans ins cluding Col. Devereux, ° “Then we flew in and picked him up,” wrote the Indianapolis flier. “In all my 23 years, I have never seen people look so happy,” the young Howe high school graduate declared. “Some of them were laughing and others were crying. “We asked if there was anything else they needed until more planes could rescue them all. The reply was ‘No, just tell us when we are going to get out of this Hell hole’.”

SENATORS BACK BYRNES’ ACTION

Statesman’s Position on Parley Approved.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 (U. P.).— Members of the senate foreign relations committee today gave Secretary of State James F. Byrnes their sympathetic backing for his handling of current international problems. : There were general expressions of apprdval for this government's stand on major foreign policy issues as outlined by Byrnes late yesterday in a lengthy closed session with the committee. ; Byrnes swore the. senators to secrecy as to details, but Chairman Tom Connally (D. Tex.) said the secretary gave a “frank and intimate” discussion of all phases of international affairs, Byrnes Does Talking Byrnes, it was learned, did practically all the talking during the two and one-half-hour session. He spent most of the time on the European situation and the failure of the recent foreign ministe; Teeting in London. If there was any criticism m the minds of his listeners, it-was not brought out during the committee session, Senator James H. Tunnell (D. Del.) left the meeting with “a feel ing of complete satisfaction and cooperation.” Senator Walter PF. George (D. Ga.) said he would “approve Mr. Byrnes’ position.” Senator Scott W. Lucas (D, Ill.) said he was “in complete sympathy with Mr. Byrnes’ position.” Republicans declined - specific comment. Several described Byrnes’

'Ireport as “interesting” or “good.”

One Republican added that the report on Europe “is not altogether as we would want it but I think it has been handled pretty well.”

Senate to Delay Action on

President's

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 (U. P)— Senators want to hold up action on President Truman's request for a change in presidential succession until they can’ make a full-scale investigation of the problem. Members of the. senate privileges and elections committee are in favor of conducting exhaustive hearings on the issue of who should go into the White House in case both the President and vice presi-

“|dent die. They point out that, the question

involves constitutional: matters which never had been defined precisely. Mr: Truman has shown that he will be a “traveling” president, and while every possible safeguard surrounds the chief executive, his journeys away from Washington necessarily involve some hazards. Committee members are aware of this, but until hearings are conducted, they want to delay any decision on several succession bills before them. One already passed by the house

state for Latin Ametica affairs apparently were disappointed. The promotion for-the former ambassador to Argentina has been held up in committee because of some dissatisfaction with recent political developments within Argentina. Byrnes was said to have spent very little time on Central and South American problems.

VIENNA, Austria, Oct. 9 (U, P.). ~—Averell Harriman, U. S. ambassador to Russia, was scheduled to depart today for Moscow after telling newsmen that no really serious rupture in Anglo-American relations with Russia had resulted from the breakdown of the foreign ministers’ conference in London. However, Harriman admitted

United States and British relations with Russia have suffered what might be a temporary setback from the deadlock. Harriman arrived here Sunday with his daughter, Kathleen.

Successor Plan

without controversy or hearings embodies Mr, Truman's own idea— that the speaker of the house and then the president pro tem of the senate succeed, should both the President and vice president die or be removed from office.

Next in line would be the .cabinet .members, beginning with secretaries of state, treasury and war.

Under present laws, the cabinet members would succeed to the presidency, Mr, Truman, however, felt -that elected men—such as the speaker of the house—should go to the White House before cabinet members who hold office through executive appointments.

Seek- Classification

Some members of the privileges and elections committee want to use this opportunity to clarify the constitutional provision which permits congress to remove a President from office if congress decides he is unable to carry out his duties. The Constitution says congress shall provide a successor to the President “in case of the removal of the President from office, or of his death, resignation or inability to discharge the powers and duties of said office, " Nobody, of course, expects the “inability” clause to be used against Mr. Truman, but some senators want a clarification for the future.
