...Reorganization proposed the first new department since Labor was created in 1913; Welfare, under which would function agencies like WPA, National Youth Administration and possibly the Social Security Board. It proposed also a National Resources Planning Board...
...purposes of economy and efficiency, the President could coordinate, reorganize or segregate any of the 100-odd Government agencies which he found superfluous, badly integrated or overlapping.

Exultant peons in flopping shirts and trousers swarmed over company offices, quarters and stores. At the oil-loading docks at Tampico, they clambered aboard three British-owned tankers and claimed them for Mexico...
