Chart 10: 1933 to 12-05-1934

The Assistant Director Operations function begins to look more and more like the Administrative arm of the Service and becomes responsible for the concessions function (Park Operators Accounts), the budget function (Control Division) and all of the Chief Clerks functions. The Field Education Division was physically moved to Washington. The Landscape Architecture Division is decentralized to Districts. The names Langley, Sager, Wosky and Baker show up for the first time; these same names will appear on many subsequent charts. Mr. Wirth's planning function was retitled Lands but it still retained the planning function as is evidenced by the subordinate units. Horace Albright was replaced by Arno Cammerer, Arthur Demaray becomes Associate Director, and Hillory Tolson becomes the Assistant Director, Operations. It was during this period that Executive Order 6166 was signed and the official name of the organization became "Office of National Parks, Buildings and Reservations," the official name did not again become National Park Service until March 10, 1934.
