TU ffD A MARCH ft, THC FREEPORT JOUftNAL-STANDARD PHONE 3100 PAGE THRfeE WILL BB SCENE CONttlCf NOW, SECOND OF BILL CHANGED VITALLY SINCE HOUSE FIRST PASSED IT Alterations Voted By Senate Are Certain To Meet Strong Opposition Washington, Mar. government reorganisation bill Went to a hostile house committee today, Although it appeared that the bitter fight which marked its passage In the senate would be renewed in the house, there will be no delay in Its consideration. Chairman John J. Cochran, of the house reorganization committee, said that the measure would be considered immediately, but refused to Indicate whether an attempt would be made to alter its provisions drastically. It was from Cochran's committee that the house received Its own, more limited reorganization bill last year after Roosevelt, in a special message to congress, asked for blanket power to transfer and consolidate executive agencies and bureaus, Three Important sections of the senate bill go beyond the power the house was willing to authorize, and upon these the major house battle probably will center.

They are: 1. Drastic reorganization of the civil service. In place of the present commission the senate bill provides for an administrator, assisted by a bi-partisan, seven-member civil service advisory board. 2. Abolition of the comptroller general and his function of checking expenditures before they are made.

The senate bill creates an auditor general whose function would be to make a post-audit of expenditures. 3. Creation of a national resources planning board, under the new department of public welfare. The house bill authorized a welfare department, but the lower chamber has a separate regional planning bill covering the resources board. Rep.

John Taber, N. a member of the house reorganization committee, said that he would demand public hearings on the senate bill. O'Connor Against the Whole Thing Chairman John O'Connor, N. of the house rules committee, declared himself opposed to the whole reorganization idea. "The house special (reorganization) committee might well let the bill peacefully slumber in some cobwebbed pigeonhole," he said.

"This is no time further to Inflame our people by such a legislative gesture. It has no relation whatsoever to reassuring a much abused business world." But regardless of what is before the bill in the house, it hardly can compare with the opposition it encountered In the senate. Not since the proposal to reorganize the supreme court was killed last summer has the atmosphere of the senate been as tense as when the clerk started calling the roll yesterday on a motion by Sen. David I. Walsh, to recommit the bill to committee for further study.

Tense Interest in Senate Fight Ninety-three members were In their seats. Galleries were packed and spectators stood in every available niche. Walsh's motion was defeated 48 to 43, aftd Uttli IftWf WM voted, 40 to 42. Rotxn Buckley, Ohio, switched to port adrtlfiistratloft thi ftatl vote. After passage, however, mentary maneuver by the cessful opponents sent the to thfe house committee of directly to ednference, Sen.

James fiyfnts, $. 0., author and fiooMeader for the bill, moved just before passage to substitute the title of the house reorganization measure, This was routine motion which would have paved the way for a house conference, but Byrnes had forgotten the unanimous consent agreement by which the senate fixed 3 p. as the voting time on re- committal. Sen. Bennett C.

Clark, objected quickly. Byrnes was ruled. The senate then passed the bill, and Byrnes renewed his motion. Sen. Edward R.

Burke, D. promptly began an anti-reorganization speech bearing all the earmarks of a filibuster. After half an hour Byrnes with drew his motion, content to let the senate measure face the usual house procedure. ON DAY'S VOTING KANSAS CITY'S POLITICAL BOSS SENDS 6,000 "WORKERS" INTO FIELD Kansas City, Mar. Pendergast sent 6,000 precinct workers into the field today to bring out the votes he hoped would return his Democratic organization the city hall for four more years.

On the outcome of today's election also may depend the organization's future in state politics, in which it now is dominant. Pendergast-supported officials have controlled the city hall 12 years. Headed by Mayor Bryce B. Smith, up for re-election, the Democratic ticket faced a coalition slate led by Col. Fred Whitten, a Democrat and lawyer.

Coalitionists counted 4,000 precinct workers. Both Claim Victory Both sides forecast victory. Pendergast lieutenants pointed to their 85,000 primary votes, 47,000 more than coalitionists received. Coalitionists claimed a majority of the 90,000 votes not cast in the primary. The polls opened to the echo of a U.

S. supreme court decision yesterday which rejected the appeal of 12 persons convicted of fraud in the 1936 general election. Two men who pleaded guilty "to vote frauds started serving sentences. Fifty-six persons in all have been convicted in 12 vote fraud trials, and nearly 100 others are yet to be tried. Six persons now are on trial.

Today's election is the first under the new city election board, named by Gov. Lloyd Stark as an outgrowth of the 1936 scandals.

The United Press learned from an unimpeachable source that until the Mexican government offers satisfactory solution to its expropriation of foreign oil properties Increasing financial-economic pressure will be applied from this side of the border, Only First Step Taken Discontinuance by the United States of its silver agreement with Mexico, and the reduction of its New York purchasing price for silver from 45 to 44 cents an ounce, is merely a first step in application of this pressure, a responsible official said. The entire United States "good neighbor" program with regard to Mexico, which included plans for settlement of all outstanding disputes and problems between countries, has been suspended pending outcome of the oil problem, it was said. The Mexican government's action in applying the expropriation law to foreign-owned oil properties, valued at $450,000,000, was described as the "last straw," insofar as the administration is concerned. Secretary of State Cordell Hull's anger over the Mexican government's action in raising vertically the Mexican tariff on American goods, last Dec. 31, had not entirely cooled when the expropriation law was made effective.

Many Problems Affected Among problems which had been slated for amicable settlement under the "good neighbor" policy were Freed Slayer Smiles Again Resting In a Statcn Island hideaway after her acquittal on charges of slaying her husband, Mrs. Patricia Ryan presented this happy picture ns she posed with her two children.

All conversations and negotiations on these matters now have been shelved, it was stated.

State department officials declined to admit that pressure was being brought upon the Mexican government to hasten a settlement. The United Press learned, however, that the United.States has reached a definite decision with regard to Its policy on the oil controversy, and has communicated details of this policy to the Mexican government. Present Negotiations Confidential For the present conversations between the two governments are being handled on a strictly confidential basis, it was stated. If an amicable and satisfactory solution is reached in the near future, no official declaration of policy would be required. However, if the controversy continues, the United States eventually may.

be called upon to make a public declaration to clarify its position, it was said. The statue of the Venus de Milo is a little more than 6 feet 3 Inches tall.
