NUMBER 1. ‘NO’ MAN McCarl Is Name —Real Dissenter
BY THOMAS L. STOKES Times Staff writer WASHINGTON. Jan. 30. Cabinet members and generalissimos cf the new deal have discovered again, aiong with the country, that there is a financial dictator with powers transcending those which a confused congress conferred upon President Roosevelt. John Raymond McCarl, con-troller-general cf the United States, ris"s in the dizzy melee of fast-moving recovery measures to thunder “No” to an important project. He has held the slum clearance and housing plan of the public works administration unconstitutional and shut off its funds. Efforts now are being made to clear up this tangle. Harold L. Ickes, secretary of interior, public works administrator, was roused to fury at Mr. McCall's decision just as cabinet officers have been at intervals ever since congress created the post of controller-general in 1921. The President may evolve new 7 projects, cabinet members may formulate plans, congress may appropriate to carry them cut, but not a nickel can be spent until the controller-general approves. He is a one-man supreme court of finance. Mr. McCarl is responsible only to congress. Only congress can remove him, though he was appointed by the President. His term is fifteen years and it will end July 1. 1936. He can not succeed himself. 000 HAD not congress created the office of controller-general as an accompaniment to the budget act it is likely that such an office would have been created at this time to supervise the spending of billions of public money. This reform grew 7 directly out of the vast war-time spending spree, when billions were poured cut. There were charges, some of them substantiated, that part of the war money had been spent recklessly, loosely and carelessly. So congress set up a check in the controller-general. He has held a tight rein on the public purse ever since. His duty is to see that the money is spent only for the specific purpose designated by congress. Mr. McCarl and the staff of 2.000 employes who constitute the general accounting office hate saved millions for the government by instituting suits to recover

moneys wrongfully spent. They have prevented the spending of millions more by stopping its disbursement at the source. Zealous and conscientious, Mr. McCarl is just as relentless with those whose overcharge can be counted in pennies and nickels as w 7 ith those who have overspent into the millions. 000 MR. M’CARL is, perhaps, the mast unpopular man in the capital, officially speaking. But he belies the impression one would get in listening to the ranting and fulminations of those w 7 ho have suffered from his blue pencil. He is a pleasant-mannered, genial sort of fellow who goes about his business quietly and efficiently. Official Washington sees little of him. He and his wife, who have no children, and who live during the winter months in one of Washington's newest apartment hotels, avoid society studiously. The controller-general has a purpose in leading a secluded life. He does not want to become involved or obligated. He finds his friends among persons not in official life. Habitues of the local golf club to which he belongs probably see more of this 54-year-old official than any one else. For golf is his hobby. During the summer months he moves to the golf club and there he may be seen, a stocky, determined fellow 7 , slowly and methodically trudging about the course while the dew 7 yet glistens on the fairways. He is a good golfer, shooting in the low eighties. The controller-general is also a bridge enthusiast. He and his wife are frequent attendants at moving picture shows. He is a confirmed motorist —that is, one w ? ho drives his own car because he is fend of driving. He never takes long vacations, seldom is away from his desk for more than a week at a time. There are hundreds of human interest stories in the aocounts over which Mr. McCarl's army pores day in and day out. One may spur his imagination to see, as he inspects the vouchers, young men working in civilian conservation corps camps in the forests, workmen piling up new government buildings, immigration offices along the borders, coast guardsmen at sea, army barracks in Hawaii, consular officers in the Balkans, assay offices in the west, forest rangers high along the mountain ridges, and the supposed

Cramming, boning, scratching heads, chewing pencils, “giving stubborn pens the deuce,” looking that forlorn, hopeless, out-the-window 100k —and you have examination days at Indiana Central college as shown in the above photos. Today is the final day for “exams.” Left—Trying to chew 7 out an answer to a psychology problem is netting Miss Ercel Abernathy of
glitter of life behind the doors of the White House on Pennsylvania avenue. For all come within Mr. McCarl’s purview. There was the rural mail carrier in a sparsely settled and isolated western section who claimed in vain that an expenditure for a pair of overshoes was legitimate government expense. Cabinet members in every administration have come to grips with the controller-general—and lost. It was he who reduced Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd's navy pension. 000 THE general accounting office has a staff of trained experts for every government function—war and navy, veterans, railroad freight charges and the like. The transportation division of 100 is rated very highly. Its members know every cut-off, every new stretch of road. One of these transportation experts looked a second time as he scanned a set of accounts for travel pay cf officers assigned to a citizens military training camp. He happened to know that anew tunnel had been constructed which cut off twenty-three miles on the route over which the officers had traveled. They were getting travel allowance for the old route. The difference amounted to $1.84 in each case. Mr. McCarl demand it—and got it. The controller-general insists always that the letter of the law be followed. In his dozen years he has built up a mass of precedents which have shaped the theory of government accounting on its modern mass scale. Mr. McCarl was a small town Nebraska lawyer, and probably would have remained comparatively unknown except for that fate which projected him into the prominent position he now holds. It was Senator George W. Norris, independent Republican leader of Nebraska, who was responsible for Mr. McCarl’s entry on the national scene. Both men lived in McCook, Neb. The senator

During the 1920 campaign w 7 hich resulted in the election of President Harding, Mr. McCarl was secretary of the congressional campaign committee. President Harding rewarded him with the post he has held ever since. SCIENTIST SEEKS 500 MILE ROCKET SPEED Professor Hopes to Send Craft Far Into Stratosphere. By United Press WORCESTER. Mass.. Jan. 30Professor Robert H. Goddard of Clark university, believes his stratosphere rocket, wlien perfected, will zoom sixty miles into space in something like eight minutes. Experiments have convinced the Worcester scientist that his twelvefoot rocket ship will have a flying range of fifty to sixty miles and a cruising speed of 500 miles an hour. The 500-mile speed was indicated by actual test flights in New Mexico tw 7 o years ago, but since then Professor Goddard, because of curtailment of grants from the Guggenheim Foundation, has worked only in the laboratory. SENATOR WEISS DENIES " HOLDING STATE POST County Lawmaker Named in Complaint as Receiving Two Salaries. Jacob Weiss, attorney and state senator from Marion county, today asked. The Times to point out that he does not hold a state position except his senatorship. Mr. Weiss was named among twenty-one other senators and representatives, in a complaint to State Auditor Floyd Williamson, as receiving two state salaries. Mr. Weiss was designated in the complaint as “attorney in fact for the state excise department.”
WHITE HOUSE TO SERVE WINE, BUT NOJJQUffIf U. S. Vintages Will Havp Preference When Legal, Says First Lady. By United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—Simple American wines, but no distilled liquor, will be served at formal White House dinners, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt said today after a conference with the President. Mrs. Roosevelt made the announcement at her weekly press conference. She said: “By the 15th of February it will become legal in the District of Columbia to serve wines. No distilled liquor will at any time be served in the White House. There will be r.o fixed rules as to wines when served. There will be. of course, preference given to Amercian wines.” No Service This Season As the formal social season will end before liquor and wine are legal in the District of Columbia, the White House crystal wine glasses will see no service this season, however. Lent begins Feb. 14. and the law will not allow 7 the sale of liquor in the national capital until after that. Wines and liquors- have not been served at the White House officially since 1917, when the District of Columbia “bone dry” law w 7 ent into effect, although Alice Roosevelt Longworth says in her book, “crowded hours,” that whisky was not barred from the private quarters on the second floor during the Harding administration. She describes the suppers of chicken sandwiches and champagne following formal White House receptions during her father’s administration. The complete crystal wine service belonging to the White House was packed away during the Hoover administration, and has been taken from the attic and polished for use. Wine Service Old Custom Wine was a part of practically every formal dinner given by the President from Washington's day until Wilson's. Mrs. Roosevelt’s personal abstinence from alcoholic beverages w 7 as subordinated to her consideration for other persons when she announced that legal beer would not be barred from the White House. Three-point-two beer has never been served at large functions, however, except at parties for the young persons. Only punch, with little cakes, is served at White House receptions. Struck in Head by Ax Struck in the head with an ax wielded by a fellow worker while trimming trees at Crown Hill, Barney Pittard, 25, of 1445 West Thirtythird street, was treated at city hospital yesterday. The ax was being used by Clinton Miers, Ravenswood, when the accident occurred. Ruptured Men Get $3,50 Truss Free Pay No Money Now or Ever, for This Truss. KANSAS CITY, Mo.
