Navy Officers to
Test Rulings of
Comptroller General

Washington, Oct. 22.-Oificers of the
navy who have disagreed with Comp
troller General McCarfs rulings which
Withheld from them allowances for
heat, light and quarters for depend
ents, went into court here today to
test Mr.. McCarrs power In the same
action the plaintiff seeks to force the
navy disbursing officers to pay the
officers amounts alleged to be due.
The suit. filed in the District Of Co.
lumbia supreme court. is for an in
junction to prevent further alleged OBJ
struction on the part of Secretary Will
bur, Lieutenant Benjamin l.. Lark
ford. disbursing officer, and Mr. McCarl
in the effort of Commander John +.
Cox to recover allowances alleged to
be due him. Justice IIoehling issued
a show cause order requiring the three
officials named to file answer Octo-
Der 81.
The controversy resulting from Mr..
McCarrs ruling. made last March IA.
is thus thrown into open court and
for the first time the powers of the
comptroller general. as defined in the
budget and accounting act, are sub
jected to judicial appraisal.
Mr.. McCarl's rulings have been at
tackled in number of instances here
tofore. More than a hundred naval
officers are supporting the action
brought to test the ruling in the pres
ent case after failure of attempts to
have it rescinded.

Newspaper Calls
On LaFOllette to
Define Party Plank

Kansas City. Mo, Oct. 22-Tn n
letter to Senator Robert NJ. LaFol-
lette, the Kansas City Journal to-
night demanded that the Independent
presidential candidate define the
term special privilege" as used In hib
party platform. and offered to nay
$1,000 to any charity he may name ~
he will mention single special
privilege, as distinguished from n
special influence. now enjoyed by any
man. or any group, excepting agri-
culture and labor"
THE people are tired Of all this
loose and nebulous talk about spec
ial privilege" the letter said. Name
one special privilege that II is your
purpose, IL elected, to destroy. Please
be specific and confine yourself to
those that can be cured by stutute,
by administrative act or by court de-
cision."
The letter declared II n matter OF
common knowledge that "a few have
special influence in all clubs. all
churches. oil corporations, and even
In commune"
Especial influence" the Journal
declared, is quite a different thing
from special privilege"

Sec. Weeks Defends
Coolidge for Part in
Boston Police Strike

New York. Oct. 22-The part taken
by President Coolidge in breaking the
Boston police strike, which occurred
when the president was governor of
Massachusetts. was defended tonight
in a statement issued by John w,
Weeks, secretary of war. and made
public by Republican headquarters
here. Secretary Weeks statement
was issued as a reply 20 a statement
of former Mayor Peters of Boston
that Mr.. Coolidge had .efused to call
out the state guard to break the
strike.
"Mr. Coolidge informed Mayor Pc
tiers that it was within the mayors
authority to call out the state troops
In the Boston district and that II
more were needed. he as safe eXecu-
tive would see that they went" the
secretary said. Mr.. Coolidge would
not have taken part In the Strike al
all. Mr.. Weeks said. but for the fact
that Mayor Peters did not use the
power at his command but instead
went to his country home on the
night Of the strike.
The secretar declared that Mayor
Peters sought to deny facts which
had remained unquestioned for five
years and that this denial came at q
time when the president. as chief
executive Of the nation. can hardly
enter into controversy"

Boston, Oct. 22-The destinies of
Americas railroads are in the hands
of congress and the American people
rather than of the railroad manage
ment, John ]. Cornwell of Baltimore.
general counsel of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company. said in an
address tonight at the annual dinner
of the Associated Industries Of Mass
achusetts. He warned against what
he termed influences and groups
working vigorously. openly and COW
ertly. to so handicap the carriers in
their operation and management as
to make private ownership Of the
railroads failure"
Railroad managers everywhere
today are exert!ng themselves to put
into effect efficiencies and economies,
striving to reduce the cost Of opera
ton in every possible way" he said.
ut is estimated that the railroad
system of the United States, taken
as a whole. will reduce the total OPP
Grating costs this year by the enor-
nous sum of approximately S450,000,-
900. Certainly with these new econ
omies and efficiencies and with sue
cessful movement of the record
breaking business of 1923, there
should not be any ground for fear of
failure of the railroads to meet their
responsibilities next year or the year
after.
ITO do this. however, they must
not stand still. = For needed
expansion and the purchase of new
equipment, the carriers must secure
approximately one billion dollars OF
new capital next year and each year
and volume of traffic are normal.
Can they raise this money? They
did raise it in 1920. IF this
traffic is continued on the statute
books and is freed from the appeal
of emasculation which menaces 1t.
confidence will continue and capital
needed will be Forthcoming"
Reviewing railroad legislation in
troduced at the last session of con-
gress, Mr.. Cornish said:
"Many men who are N public life
today are working to that end (goN-
eminent ownership although they
would not openly advocate it. They
know that as long as the railroads
are operating efficiently and handling
the commerce of the country In q
satisfactory manner the people will
not support measure for govern
ment ownership and operation inef-
ficient and unsatisfactory, they real
ize that, in desperation and as the
only alternative. the people will turn
to government ownership"

LAFOLLETTE FINDS
MUCH TO CRITICIZE IN
COOLIDGE REGIME

Peoria, Ills, Oct. % O5y A. P)-
Centering an attack on President
Coolidge in an address here tonight.
Senator Robert NJ. LaFollette. inde-
pendent presidential candidate. de-
clared that the chief executive saves
at the spigot and wastes at the bung
hole"
Coolidge is Keen" continued the
Wisconsin senator, ito use the econ
omy plea to prevent the nation from
discharging its just obligations TO it's
world war veterans and old soldiers
OF the Civil and Spanish Wars and
to it's postal employees. but when 1t
comes to the big wastes and CRAFTS
that are draining the public treasury
he suddenly goes blind"
The economy record of Calvin
Coolidge, as president, consist pri-
niarily of his three veto messages
his veto of the soldiers bonus, his
veto of the increase in pensions for
Civil and Spanish War veterans. and
his veto of salary increases for pos
tai employees.
IN contrast to these vetocs. the
records show that Coolidge has con-
sistently supported an increase in the
military and naval establishments
and has taken no action to stop the
vast sums of waste, extravaganza
and graft in either the veterans bur-
eau or the, shipping board. His pub
lie record as president shows no in
terest in the prosecution and recov-
cry of the billions stolen from the
government by the war profteers.
He has shown no concern about
the hundreds Of millions Of tax re-
funds that are being secretly made.
under the administration of Secre-
tary Mellon to corporations in Which
Mellon is interested. or to other COR
porations.
He has shown no interest what
ever in the settlement of claims Of
the railroads by the director general.
which are grossly extravagant, to
say the least.
ut has been nearly n year since the
senate took action to force protection
Of the naval reserves. But Coolidge
and the two attorneys whom he has
personally appointed have failed to
stop the pumping Of the navy's oil
out of the Teapot Dome and Elk
Hills reserves. This oil Is today be-
ing pumped out. just as 1t was before
the corrupt charter of the naval oil
leases was exposed and confessed"
