PAGE9-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, JULY 26, 1972 McCLORY REPORTS From ^ Washington IP ^ J Wonder Lake Mary Jean Huff 728-0267 One of President Nixon's principal domestic programs - reorganization of the Executive branch - has been effectively stalled by the Democratic Majority in the U.S. House and Senate. Howeverthe merit of the President's reorganization program is evidenced by the favorable action taken recently by the House Government Operations committee in ap- proving'the .establishment of a new Department of Community Development. The proposed new department would coor­ dinate the planning and development of urban and rural areas wider a comprehensive fuunction-oriented system. Community development in­ cludes such essential elements as housing,/transportation, business and industrial ex­ pansion, and provision for social welfare needs. Under the present Executive department hodgepodge, a community' can develop or expand only by dealing with at least five federal departments and as many as twenty relatively autonomous agen­ cies. The growth and rapid movement of population -- coupled with the deterioration of many*tfrban areas, where more than 85 percent of the population now resides -- require coordinated planning and cooperation. This means that a myriad of activities - including (a) housing and other community planning measures from the Department of Housing and Urban Develop­ ment, (b) highway and urban mass transportation services from the Department of Transportation, (c) public works and regional planning assistance as administered by the Department of Commerce, (d) various functions now administered by the Depart­ ment of Agriculture, the Office of Economic Opportunity, and other Federal agencies - must all be coordinated. Under the leadership of Rep. Chet Holifield, Democrat of California and chairman of the House Government Operations committee, the new Depart­ ment of Community Development has been recommended overwhelmingly to the U.S. House of Representatives. The measure, backed vigorously by President Nixon and supported by Secretaries Romney, Volpe and Butz, is expected to receive a favorable vote soon by the House of Representatives. General opposition to change, as well as fear of job losses, are threatening final enactment of this legislation. As described originally by the President, however, his program for reorganization of the Executive Branch is designed to meet the Women's Club Swim Program Is Successful Possibly one of the most successful summer projects at Wonder Lake this year was the swimming program sponsored by the Women's club. The ladies of the club who worked needs of the people and not to perpetuate outmoded agencies of government. It contemplates an improved restructuring of Federal activities, not a diminution of them. It seems clear that creation of the Department of Com­ munity Development would reduce substantially the overlapping of functions in the federal bureaucracy and render far more efficient those federal programs which assist state and local governments in the enhancement of community services. The first major test of the capacity of Congress to ac- c o m p l i s h e f f e c t i v e reorganization of the Executive branch of the government is about to take place. If the Department of Community Development act is passed, we can expect it to be followed by bills establishing a Department of Natural Resources and Department of Human Resources, as well as a Department of Economic Development. Such an overall reorganization package would streamline our federal system in such a way that there would be fewer opportunities for continued attacks upon "the establishment". on this project deserve much credit a£ well as the excellent instructors and their dedicated helpers. Not only will our youngsters who participated in this activity enjoy swimming more this summer because they now know how, but the fact that each one has learned safety skills including artificial respiration, should insure a safer summer.
