cided nt a meeting of the subcommittee
of the .enae Judicial v Committee
Membeis of the committee preented
tentative amendments lo the bill, vvlili li
will take awav any additional poweis
over the executive department that I
might be granted to the Piesldent bj
the bill. Ii was nirrced 111 the subcom- ,
inlUee that no additional powers should
be Included In the measure.
Senator Overman contended that Ihe
bill merely gives the President the rlRht
to co-ordinate the work of the various
