WASHINGTON, Aug.. 9- (AP)
A new alignment of federal
agencies, which abolishes such
familiar figures .as the prohibi
tion bureau and shipping board,
goes into effect at midnight to-
night under President Roose
velt's economy reorganization
program
The changes call for more de

the end ot the war.
No responsible official could
estimate how many workers lose
their jobs, but the majority felt
the number would be less than
2000.
Immediate savings from' the
reorganization, - estimated origin-
ally to cut yearly expenditures at
least $25,000,000, will be at the
rate of about 15,000,000 annu
ally as a result of modifications
extending the time to December
31, in which some changes be
