- Wasbiugton, Feb. 21. 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.
