Government Reorganization Plans Offered By President Awaiting Action Of Congress By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON, June 22. (P) President Truman now has sent seven plans to Congress lor overhauling, or reorganizing, the gov ernment. They're important, although they're only the first in a series of plans he'll offer, some this year, some next year. Since the story of reorganizing Russia Bases Much Of Her Plans On Belief That U.S. Economy Is On Downgrade the government is comolicated here is an ABC on what happened and what lies ahead. There are three main points: The study and recommenda tions made by the Hoover Com mission; the reorganization act passed by congress; the plans to be offered by Mr. Truman.. . This government, with 2.100,000 employes, is the biggest business in me world but is less efficient than many, maybe most, busi nesses. It has grown as the copulation grew and the needs of the people jncreasea. Bureaus, agencies, and commissions shoot off in all directions. Since President Taft first tried it in 1912, a number of attempts have been made to put the gov ernment's house in order. None was thorough. Two years ago Congress decid ed to do a real job of it. It creat ed a 12-man commission, headed by former President Hoover. This was non-political. The Commission was composed of Democrats and Republicans. A Republican Congress created it. Mr. Truman blessed it. Its purpose: To study the whole government and offer recommen dations to make it run better and cheaper. Job Took 300 Experts About 300 experts helped the Commission look for sick spots. Early this year the recommenda tions began coming out in the form of reports. The Commission produced 18 reports and 287 recommendations, some major, some minor. 1 he next move was up to Congress. Unless it gave the president power to put the recommenda tions into effect, or some of them, they'd die on the vine. So last week Congress passed an act giving the president power to reorganize the executive branch of the government. , It didn't give him power to tamper with the other two branches: the legislative (Con gress) or the judiciary (the Courts). The Hoover commission examined only the executive branch. Now Up to Congress And Monday Mr. Truman sign ed the act into law. It's not a blank check, leavine him free to do anything he wishes about the House could do it. In the Senate, with 96 members. 49 would have to vote against the plan. In the house a majority of the 435 mem bers would be 218. 2. If Congress quits for the year wnnin ine bu days alter Mr. Tru man has offered a plan, that kills It for the year. He'll have to wait till the next year before offering anoiner. Congress Not Affected Under the reorganization act Mr. Truman can abolish or shift agencies created by Congress. But he can't interfere with or take away any of the powers that be long to Congress. For example: Congress decides what taxes shall be. The Internal Revenue Bureau collects the taxes. Mr. Truman can't suddenly tell the Bureau that from now on it will decide tax rates, not Congress. Mr. Truman was able to offer the seven plans as soon as he signed the reorganization act be cause he had them ready. They had been prepared by his own staff, not the Hoover commission. But ' they closely follow the Hoover Commission recommenda tions, although not all the Hoover recommendations were covered. Later plans to be offered by Mr. Truman this year and in 1950 will cover metre of-.the Hoover recommendations. It's a long range job. - Sir Francis Drake in 1579 -went ashore in Marin County, Califor nia, and nailed a metal plate to a post, claiming that region for Queen Elizabeth of England. Bv SAM DAWSON NEW YORK, June 22. UP) Just how much, of the near-miss of the four Powers at Paris can be chalked up to the American business slump Is anyone's guess. But Russian and Western Euro pean obsession .with America's economic health is growing and probably has a lot to do with their political decisions. Russia, in particular, frankly bases much of her world plans on a belief that the United States is cracking up. The slump here may have led her to change back from conciliation to what may regard as a renewal of her stalling tactics. It is also notable that Moscow and Wall Street vie with each other these days in seeing which can take the darkest view of the American business future. This may come as a surprise to most Americans, especially those far removed from the nervous canyons of New York. Americans generally are aware that the boom is over and a slump on, but they see nothing yet to justify the term "crisis, nor the likeli hood ofone. Moscow Jubilantly reports every sign of recession here. It calls the slump "the deepening United states crisis and consid ers it the beginning of the end for the whole free enterprise sys tem. The Kremlin notes with pleas ure that each drop in prices on the New 'York Stock Exchange, no matter how few shares of stock actually are sold, brings on a sympathetic shudder in- the London Exchange. Moscow doesn't like British Socialism any better than it does American capitalism. False Views Abroad The British are reoorted watch ing the American slump with fear and trembling. Their economic fate is much more closely tied with ours now than it was before the war. Too, a tightening econ omy here may spur Congressional economy in handing out money to Eurpe. . Americans long have been used to, if always a little surprised at, the exaggerated views of Ameri can life taken by Europeans. For example, any Chicagoan travel ing in Europe long ago became accustomed to being regarded as the constant target of gangster, .bullets on his home streets. Now, It seems, Europe take the same exaggerated view i each advance in the Jobless tot here, each drop in stock prlc each slide in commodity prit f back toward a less inflated lev The American businessm probably doesn't realize to ji . what extent he is news the days in the European press. Ai he probably doesn't share, nc deserve, the dim view of his com petence and level-headedness cur rently fashionable In Wall Street and Moscow. Wall Street Says Depression Wall Street's views are not, as are Moscow's built on any lack of faith In the free enterprise. But the Street does subscribe to the belief that after a boom must come a slump. And it does take the view that this business reces- Worry With Necks Revealed In Tests By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE (Associated Press Science Editor) MONTREAL, Canada, June 22. U?) Some people worry with their necks. Their neck muscles tighten dur ing period of anxiety, with a vari ety of after-effects. These include stiff necks, pains in the neck and headaches. Many persons who art subject to headaches start their trouble bv neck tension. These findings were made at the Allan Memorial Institute of Psychiatry, McGill University, by Doctors Robert B. Malmo and Charles Shagass, Most of the The worries were furnished by a hot beam of light, focused to a narrow point on foreheads. This hot spot was used twelve times In succession, once every minute-and-a-half, for three seconds each shot, except the last which was only one second. . The first shot was hot enough to hurt. After that they were varied, some much less hot than the first, hut they were mixed, so that for the whole sixteen-and-a-half minutes the receivers did not know what was coming next.

When muscles tighten, their electrical qualities change. There is an increase in potential, which means that the muscles have a higher voltage. The potentials in muscles were read at McGill with electrodes placed on the skin. It was not strong enough to cause any uitermath of discomfort. The tests showed that not every one worries with his neck. Other parts of the body may be used for this muscular tightening.
