Hoover Group
Plan Is Backed
By President
Washington, Dec. 1 IPi The
Hoover commission, assured of
President Truman's support for
one of its chief governmental
reorganization projects, turned
today to discussion of foreign and
veterans' affairs.
If time permits, the 12-man
commission headed by former
president Herbert Hoover may
get around to public welfare, re
volving funds, or fiscal, budgeting
and accounting activities of the
executive branch of government
Behind it and marked sold to
Truman was a recommendation
that would consolidate some of
the government's 60 adminlstra
tive agencies into one office.
Such a move would lift a great
Durden irom tne president s shoul
ders, since these agencies now re-
pot directly to him. Announcing
White House approval after a
lengthy conference yesterday,
Hoover said:
President Airrees -
- "We propose to group a num
ber of agencies that serve other
lexecutlve) departments into one
agency. Tne president agreed
that this should be done."
The former president said this
plan would affect such functions
as procurement, coordination of
statistics, information, publica
tions, and public buildings. But
It would not Include the presi
dent's own executive ofice, "be
cause no one should interfere in
the president's job of picking his
own staff."
The commission must report on
at least 24 major changes In the
executive set-up to congress by
January 13 and Hoover said it will
have Its preliminary report ready

Grange Hall, Dec. 1 (Special)
Miss Marilyn Bishop spent the
Thanksgiving holidays in Gates
visiting her parents. Miss Bishop
makes her home with Mrs. Mue
llamby while In Bend.
The Eastern Star Y. G. A. will
hold its regular business meeting
at the Eastern Star grange hall
at that time. But with 14 months
of work already behind it, the
commission will ask for another
30 days to prepare its detailed re
port and recommendations, he
added.
Might Save Three Billion
Hoover said he believed that if
the commission's recommenda
tions were followed, the govern
ment might save $3,000,000,000 a
year. He set as a major objec
tive the compressing of some TO
government agencies into 10 de
partments of cabinet rank and six
administrative agencies on a level
with the veterans' administration.
That would mean the addition
of one more cabinet post. Prob
ably it would be a department of
welfare.

Portland Crews
Check Gas Leaks
Portland, Dec. 1 U Gas com
pany crews worked today to stop
further gas seepage from a 24

dock commission building here
Monday night.

pany crews opened underground
high voltage conduits in the area.
Tht-y said that any danger from
a second explosion from gas com
ing into contact with the lines
would bo lessened by airing out
the vaults.

der while inspecting gas leakage
at the blast scene. He was treated
at Good Samaritan hospital for
head and back injuries.

The Rexall Store
Big and Little
Ole in Centennial
Glen, Minn. HI'i The Minnesota
centennial committee has its oxen
for next year's observance.
But it took a victory over a
little backwoods, goateed Swedish
farmer who prefers animals to
tractors to turn the trick.
Gottfrid Anderson, whose farm
is buried in the woods about 14
logging miles from Aitkin, has
the state's only oxen herd, Big Ole
and Uttle Ule.
The centennial committee had
managed to get hold of a pair of
Red Kiver ox carts ior the ap
proaching pageantry, but had no
oxen to pull them. That's where
the pair of Oles came in.
At first, Anderson wouldn't sell
the animals because he hadn't fin
ished haying. Then he needed a
tractor to replace the oxen.
Now Anderson has taken in his
crops and bqught a tractor. But
he's not too pleased about farm
ing with machinery. He's tried
tractors twice before.
He got rid of them both times
because they always ran away or
got balky.
Don't oxen do the same?
"Shucks, no, says the 125
pound Anderson as he leans
against 2,000-pound Little Ole,
twisting the ox's tall. "When Ole
gets cantankerous I grab 'im by
his horns and hang on till he
wears himself out."
