Congress May Let Ike Set
Up New Gov't. Department
By JAMES MABLOW
Washington HV-Congress
mav do for President Eisenhow
er what it refused to do for
former President Truman: Make
a new government department
out of the Federal Security
Agency (FSA).
FSA touches, directly or In
directly, the lives of millions.
Included in it are the Social
Security Administration, Public
Health Service, U. S. Office of
Education, Food, Drug and Cos
metics Administration, and the
Office of Vocational Rehabilita
tion.
Taken together they are a
prime recognition that the gov
ernment has, or has assumed,
some responsibility for the wel
fare of the people. Yet the world
"welfare" Is not completely
popular. For years critics of the
Democratic administration beat
it on the head with the charge
It was trying to turn the country
Into a "welfare state."
For that reason, if FSA'a sta
tus la changed to that of a de
partment, it probably will have
a title minus the word "wel
fare," which raises a question:
What difference does it make
whether FSA is an agency or a
department? Won't It go along
pretty much the same way? Not
necessarily. President Els en-
bower is now working on a plan
for the new department.
He'll offer It to Congress later.
He may suggest that the new
department keep all the FSA
agencies and bureaus except the
Health Service. That, he might
suggest, should be set up as
separata government agency.
And in transforming FSA In
to a department Congress would
snake tome administrative
changes. That is, h would try to
lay down some rules to make
It run better.
The boas of FSA Mrs. Ove-
ta Culp Hobby at the moment
reports directly to the President.
If the became secretary of the
new department, she would still
report directly to him.
So there wouldn't be any ao-

tual change there. But FSA, as
a department, might seem to
have added stature. And the new
secretary would be, in fact, a
member of the President's Cabi
net Mr. Hobby, as head of FSA,
it in effect a member of the
Cabinet now since Eisenhower
ha aiked her to sit in on Cab!
net meetings. Eisenhower seem
sure to make her secretary.
He hand-picked her for the
FSA job. Mrs. Hobby, wartime
head of the WACs, is a Texas
Democrat who supported aim
in the presidential campaign.
Back In 1023 President Hard
ing suggested a welfare depart
ment a he noticed the govern
ment getting deeper into the
welfare field. Nothing happen
ed. In 1937 President Roose
velt' Committee on Administra
tive Management recommended
creation of a department of
social welfare.
Finally in 1939 FSA was es
tablished as an Independent
agency whose head was directly
respontible to the President In
1949 the Commission on Re
organization of the Government,
headed by former President
Hoover, urged that Congress
make FSA a department
But the Hoover commission
wanted the he alb, activities of
FSA that it, the public health
part of It separated and set
up Independently. That same
year Truman asked Congress to
make FSA a deparment.
But he wanted the health
service Included. As a name for
it be suggested "Department of
Welfare." Congress turned him
down.
He tried again In 1950, sug
gesting this time the new de
partment be called "Department
of Health, Education and Securi
ty." Again Congress said no.
Oscar Ewing, who was then
head of FSA, waa one ot the
main targes for the congression
al opponent of Truman's plan.
Ewing had strenuously advo
cated compulsory health insur
ance which these same oppon
ent called "socialized medicine."
They didn't like Ewing or his
ideas. They argued that if he be
came head of the new depart
ment he might, with his increas
ed prestige, plug hard for his
health Insurance plan.
Besides, they said, Truman
waa lumping the health service
of FSA in with the other FSA
agenclea in the proposed de
partment, contrary to the re
commendations of the Hoover
recommendations in the plan
he's drawing up, at least Con
gress can't make the same critic
ism ot Mrs. Hobby that they
used on Ewing. She opposes
compulsory health Insurance.
Highway Board
01 5 Sought
Five members of the state
highway commission are pro
vided in a bill introduced by
Rep. E. H. Mann of Medford to
replace the present board of
three member.
The bill provide for appoint
ment by the governor of one
commissioner from each of the
state's four congressional dis
tricts and one from the state-at-large.
"When the present law pro
viding for three commissioners,
one from each congressional
district, there were only three
congressional districts In the
state" said Rep. Mann. "The
number was all right then.
"However, the state has
grown and inasmuch as we
have four congressional dis
tricts one district goes without
representation under the terms
ot the present law."
Mann said that as the state
grows and Oregon gams tne
fifth congressional district his
bill would provide one com
missioner from each of the five
districts."
The bill 1 now before the
house highways committee for
consideration.
