HARRISON, ICXES MENTIONED FOR M'CARUS POST F. D. R. Faces Early Decision on His Most Important Appointment. BY RUTH FINNEY Time* Special Writer WASHINGTON, May B—ln a few weeks President Roosevelt must make the most important appointment of his Administration to date. He must choose anew comptroller general. J. R. McCarls 15-year term expires June 30, and he is not eligible to succeed himself. The man Mr. Roosevelt selects will have power, as Mr. McCarl now has, to pass on the legality of almost every payment made by the United States government. During the terms of the three Republican Presidents under which Mr. McCarl served, he was celebrated chiefly for the close watch he kept on expense accounts of traveling officials and on the procedure in purchasing supplies. Under the New Deal he has become known as a stickler for strict Interpretation of the law, questioning powers granted the President by Congress in some of the emergency measures, challenging many administrative acts of TVA, and holding up for a considerable time emergency work-relief expenditures. Half a dozen candiadtes already are being mentioned. The two most prominent are Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes and Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi. The others Include Frank Yates, consulting attorney of the general accounting office; William H. McReynolds, administrative assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury; O. R. McGuire of Louisiana, who has been with the general accounting office as long as Mr. McCarl has; and Charles M. Galloway of South Carolina, of Mr. McCarl’s egal staff. Job Has Strong Appeal Mr. Ickes is urged for the position as one who has become distinguished for uncompromising honesty and care in spending public money. The Job is one which might well appeal to either a Cabinet member or a Senator. It is for a 15-year term, and the incumbent can be removed only by impeachment. The salary is SIO,OOO a year. And the power almost is unlimited. Last year Senator Arthur Vandenberg (R„ Mich.) proposed that the restriction against reappointment of Mr. McCarl be lifted from the law but he has not pressed his bill. At the time the office was created appointment for life was urged, but President Wilson vetoed a measure containing that provision, and Congress subsequently re-enacted one with the 15-year term and the bar against reappointment. Made His Own Precedents Mr. McCarl, the only man who has served as Comptroller General, came to Washington years ago from Nebraska as secretary to Senator George w. Norris. During the 1920 campaign he was secretary of the Republican congressional campaign committee, and President Harding appointed him Comptroller General soon after taking office. Mr. McCarl made his own precedents and blazed his own trail. The New Deal, increasing Federal expenditures from 5 to 10 billion dollars a year, doubled his work and he now has 3850 persons working under him. He has kept himself remote from political entanglements, never making speeches, and never taking part in the social life of the city.
