Disputes Roosevelt
Had Three Strokes
_
NEW YORK [At*)—The daughter
of the late President Roosevelt
says a doctor’s claim her father
suffered three strokes before the
one that caused his death is “ab
solutely and completely untrue.”
Mrs. Anna Roosevelt Boettinger
replying to a statement by Dr.
Karl A. Wold, St. Paul, Minn.,
said in her regular broadcast over
the American Broadcasting com
pany network Friday:
“My father at no time had a
stroke or anything like it until he
suffered the cerebral hemorrhage
which caused his death on April
12, 1945.”
In a book, part of which is re
printed in the current issue of
Look Magazine, Wold said that
Roosevelt suffered his first stroke
in December, 1943, the doctor;
wrote, the President was given
only six months to live by a group
of doctors.

Hoover Conuniss’ii
Asks For Vast
Govt. Reshuffling
* Cunt iiiued from Page One»
President broad new powers ove;*
his official family—powers it said
are needed in the present “critical
state of world affairs.”
It said that under the present
set-up, “authority is diffused, lines
of authority are confused, staff
services are insufficient.”
To remedy that, the commission
proposed a government pyramid
based on the 2,000,000 federal em
ployees and building up to a score
of top-level agencies directly un
der the Prseident—instead of the
65 which now report to him “if
they report to anyone.”
At the head of this chain of
command, the President would be
fortified with new staff officials,
a powerful managerial arm” in an
expanded budget office, much
wider powers to reorganize gov
ernment offices, and authority to
name many officials without the
Senate’s approval.
Omitted from the list of offices
tabbed for streamlining were nine
“regulatory” agencies, including
three—the interstate commerce
commission, federal reserve board
and securities and exchange com
mission — which many Congress
men have proposed putting out of
the President’s reorganiza t i o n
reach.
The report was the first chapter
of a massive blueprint for federal
reform—which Hoover said could
save the taxpayers “billions”—to
be handed Congress in 15 install
ments before March 31.
