GOVERNMENT REORGANIZATION
Our government in the past twenty years has
mushroomed into the most huge and complicated en-
terprise on earth. Methods and procedures adequate
to its management two decades ago today are hope-
lessly obsolete.
Posterity may well record that one of the greatest
events in American history occurred when Congress,
in recognition of these facts, created, by unanimous
action the Commissufif on Organization of the Execu-
tive Branch of the Government under the chairman-
ship of former President Herbert Hoover.
For if this distinguished commission’s monumen-
tal Report is adopted, the disastrous course of bewil-
dered spending by the Executive Branch, due to un-
wieldy structure and confused administration, can be
arrested and an annual saving of upwards of $3 bil-
lions affected.
The Hoover Commission, as it is familiarly known,
was composed of six Democrats and six Republicans.
In^’VIc* Hoover’s words, the members were “twelve
tough-minded men of different political faiths and
ideologies.” . ‘
Their assignment was as tough. It was to explore
the whole field of governmental activities and to rec-
ommend reforms that would make government as ef-
ficient and effective as humanly possible.
On the basis of the investigations of research task
forces composed of experts in every phase of govern-
mental activity, the Hoover Commission shaped its
final Report which is an explicit blueprint for govern-
ment reforms vital to the national economy.
. The Hoover Commission has become an illus-
trious page of history. The Commissioners labored
wisely and well. But the document that crowned their
achievements, the magnificient. Hoover Report, re-
mains only a document, unless through the vigorous
support of public opinion it can be written into our
laws by the action of Congress.
It was in recognition of this fact that the Citizens
Committee for Reorganization of the Executive
Branch of the Government was formed by leaders of
all groups throughout the nation under the chair-
manship of I)r. Robert L. Johnson, President of Tem-
ple University. , \
These public spirited men and women, representing
agriculture, business, education, labor, veterans and
women’s groups, have joined with unprecedented
unanimity in this great movement.
It is the plain duty of plain citizens everywhere,
regardless of their affiliation with any group or or-
ganization, to support the work of the Citizens Com-
mittee in order that America may fullfill her obligation
imposed by world leadership, that Americans may
preserve their way of life and their liberties, and that
they may perpetuate those ideals that they hold most
- dear in a precious heritage. FT!

gOME MEN
THINK themselves
bigger than their Jobs. Some
men really are bigger, and Stephen
was one of these. He spilled over,
, so to Speak; he had even more en-
ergy and ability than the Job called
for. We hear of him debating
around the synagogue circuit par-
ticularly. in-the synagogues which
were used by Jews from other
parts of the world.
