Early com pioinlse lit the senate on legislation for further co-ordination and reor ganisation of the government's war making agencies, appeared in sight today, as a result of negotiations be tween democratic and republican leaders for revision of the Overman bill, which would give President Wilson greater freedom of action. ' President Wilson was fald to have Co objections to any changes propos ed, and tbe senate Judiciary subcom mittee, headed by Senator Overman is re-draft In? the bill. Aa It la proposed to amend the pleasure, the president would not be ?lven any new substantial authority and provlalona in the Overman bill which republicans have regarded at conferring new and too broad, powers upon tha president, are to lie elim inated. The amendments, however, would retain the principal provl alona authorising tha president to transfer departments, bureaua, com missions and other agenciea ' and their peraonnel, aa he might deem necessary to effect greater co-ordination and efficiency In prosecuting the war. It la proposed to strike out a clause giving tha president power "to employ , by executive older any additional agency or agenciea and to vest therein tha performance of such functions aa he may deem ap propriate," thereby limiting the ex ecutive's authority to changes In ex isting agenciea and without power to create any new ones.
