WASHINGTON. March 12 Pres't Wilson has renewed his request for enactment of the Overman bill, giving him greater powers to coordinate and reorganize government departments and was said to be insistent upon its passage substantially in the form originally presented to congress. After a conference with the prtsident. .Sen. Overman of North Carolina, author of the measure, said it appeared probable that a compromise could not ho reached and that the dispute "would have to be fought out." Pres't Wilson was represented as refusing to accept a compromise proposed by Sen. Smith of Georgia, to limit his authority to the ar'ny, navy and shipping board. Sen overman said he would oppose such a limitation and added that the administration has enough votes in th? judiciary committee to secure a federal report on the bill as- it was introduced. Sen. .Smith submitted his amendment to the committee today and it is understood to have been presented by Sen Overman to the pi evident. Sen. overman .said the committee probably will approve amendments providing that the president's authority under the bill shall not extend to the federal reserve board, the interstate commerce c on. mission and a few other agencies. The committee, which will meet again Wednesday when it probably will be given the president's views by Sen. overman, today adopted an amendment prohibiting the president from creating any nevv agency in any reorganization of departments he might undertake.
