That is, almost every organiza tion except the government opera tions committee of the United States senate, which by a 7 to 5 vote approved a resolution reject ing the reorganization plan. 'The" only possible reason for this dis approval was that the reorganiza tion plan took away from the sen ators their patronage plums of naming the internal revenue col lectors in their states. The president’s reorganization plan would place revenue collec tors under civil service and set up 25 regional offices in place of the 48 state offices. Senators on the committee supporting Senators George and Milliken for keeping this political plum for themselves were Senators McClellan, Ark; Hoey, North Carolina; McCarthy, Wisconsin; Mundt, South Dakota; Schoeppel, Kansas; Dworshak, Ida ho, and Nixon, California. Oppos ing the resolution were Senators Humphrey, Minnesota; Monroney, Oklahoma; Moody, Michiga n; O’Connor, Maryland, and Margaret Chase Smith, Maine. • * * The senate commerce committee signed to revamp federal laws on transportation.
