mm 3T Plan Settled Conferees Approve Bill Authorizing Truman To Revamp Executive Branch WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 (JP). Legislation giving the President limited authority to reorganize the executive branch of government was approved today by a Senate-House conference committee. The Conference measure, product of three weeks of study, exempts 11 agencies wholly or partially from reorganization. The Senate had barred revamping of 14 while the House had given full exemption or preferred status to eight.

The bill now awaits floor action, first by the House, then the Senate. Army Engineers Exempt As rewritten in conference, the bill rules out any reorganization of the civil functions of the Army engineers. This phase of the engineers' work includes such projects as flood control. Six other agencies are fully exempted, except that functions, agencies and personnel can be transferred to them. Those are the Interstate Commerce Commission, Federal Trade Commission, Securities and Exchange Commission, National Mediation Board, National Railroad Adjustment Board, and Railroad Retirement Board.

Separate reorganization plans would have to be submitted for each of four agencies: The Federal Com munications Commission, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, United States Tariff Commission, and Veterans' Administration. Effective in 60 Days The revised bill lifted restrictions on reorganization which the Senate had voted for the Maritime Commission, the Federal Power Commission and the Federal Land Bank System; and removes the preferred status the House gave the Civil Service Commission. Any reorganization plan submitted by the President to Congress would become effective in 60 days unless both houses disapproved. Blonde Held as Knife Slayer of N. J.

While the aviations, bolstered by sizable backlogs and earnings potentialities, were in front from the start, most steels, rails, motors and "blue chips" displayed slipping tendencies.
