COMPTROLLER FACES PUZZLE ON CHILDHJNDS McCarl Must Decide If He Holds Power Which He Claims. WASHINGTON, Sept 10.—Comptroller General J. R. McCarl, within the next few days, must decide one of the most difficult questions he has been called to pass on since taking office seven years ago. Recently one of McCarl’s subordinates held up $22,000 of Government child welfare payments to three States, Montana, and Louisiana, to apply the juney to old debts owed by the States to the Government. McCarl either must sustain this action or reverse it. “Unless the decision is reversed, the administration of the entire maternity act will be made impossible,” Miss Grace Abbot, chief of the Children’s Bureau, said today. Much More Involved Should McCarl sustain the action, more than the administration of the maternity act will be involved. If Government funds Intended for child welfare work can be withheld because /fa State’s debt to the Government, Federal road funds and funds for vocational education likewiK could be withheld. "All other departments similarly situated are expressing great concern and call me up almost daily to learn of developments,” Miss Abbott said. Two protests have been prepared against the action of McCarl’s office. The State of Montana, which has had $4,700 of maternity funds held up, because of a debt owed the Government for fighting forest fires, has appealed from the ruling. Albert E. Reitzel, acting solicitor of the Department of Labor, has prepared a brief holding the action illegal. Denies Any Such Statute “I find no statute which gives this authority to the comptrofler general,” Reitzel said. Under the law, however, Comptroller McCarl is the sole and supreme judge of the issues involved. Even President Coolidge could not override him in event he decides that his subordinates were correct in thtfir action. The only remedy in that event would be for Congress to pass special legislation limiting his powers.

Blimps, Dry Batteries Known in Pre-Epic Times

Knowledge Centuries Ago in India of Electro Ploting Claimed. DETRQIT, Mich., Sept. 10.—Four pages of' Sanskrit manuscript belonging to pre-epic times, discovered in India, indicated that hydrogen, oxygen, dry batteries, electro plating, blimbs and balloons were known there centuries ago, V. R. Kokatnur, Hindu scientist of New York City, told the American Chemical Society Friday. Great monuments like the tenton wrought iron pillar near Delhi and the twenty-four-foot wrought iron gun at Nurvar indicated the knowledge of Indians thousands of years ago compared favorably to the knowledge of the world’s most eminent scientists today, Kokatnur said. Home Arts Vanishing Other high lights in the proceedings today were statements that mixed chemisty classes of boys and girls made poor progress compared with one-sex classes; that rapid scientific progress was a threat to | the stability of the world; that arts and crafts are disappearing from the home and that the oldest manufacturers were threatened by synthetic processes. Mixed classes in general-chemis-try resulted in 38 per cent more failures than where students were segregated, Professor Alex Silverman, Pittsburgh University said. Science Killing Navies Science is killing the navies of the world, Dr.. E. K. Mees, Eastman Research director of Rochester, N. Y., declared. It would be foolish for the United States to build up a big navy, because science might at any time discover of a more effective weapon than a navy and wipe it out. Culinary arts are being replaced by .the canner, delicatessen store and restaurant, he said. • Mees said scientific discoveries threatened almost every kind of business, occupation and profession.
