the big question which Is involved.
Application for a new trial was
made on December by the Depart
ment off Justice, which was the last
day allowed for the fling of such a
motion. 1t goes without saying that
this delayed action of the Depart
ment Of Justice in filing for a retrial
was that the Attorney Generals de-
partment doubted seriously the ad-
visibility of taking such action, and
that he was largely influenced by the
pteadings of the Judge advocate gen.
eral and the controller general.
Prepared by the interdepartmental
committee, the draft for a bill to
amend the pay act Is now being con-
sidered by the secretaries of the de-
partments affected. The sixth sec
tion of the pay act, which refers to
the subject of rental allowances,
has been completely rewritten. Ac-
companying the bill to Congress will
be letters written by the Secretary
of War, Secretary of the Navy, Secre-
tary of the Treasury and Secretary
of Commerce. 1t is believed that
with these strong Endorsements the
measure will be given serious consid-
Grafton from Congress and that it will
probably be passed during the ses-
sion.
