M'CARL IS OPPOSED
 BY C0NGRESSMEN
Drive to Clip His Wings Now
 Is Reported

Washington, Aug. 29,-Because of the viGor with which j. k, McCarl, comptroller general of the United States, has been curbing government expenditures, certain members of congress and other officials have ac- cused him of usurping authority be- yond that of any of the other execu- tive departments, and 1t was report cd yesterday that movement would be started during the next session to curtail his powers,
 While in some quarters the course of Mir. McCarl is denounced as high handed and arbitrary, a case in point being his refusal to allow S1.50 to a department of agriculture employe for a luncheon while away from Washington, it is generally under stood at the capitol that the comp troller general has the backing of Chairman Madden of the house com mittoe on appropriations and also of many of the members Of the house and senate appropriations commit tees.
 A further factor in McCarl's favor IS the recent complaint by mcm- bers Of these committees that there is habitual disregard in the govern- ment departments of the limita- tions put by congress on the ex- penditures of funds.
 
 The legislation and officials whose displeasure the comptroller general has incurred, have apprised the sen ate and house leaders that, in their opinion, McCari's handling of the office. to which he was appointed by President Harding, demands action by congress that should bring about a curtailment of his authority. The question of how far he can dominate in matters of accounts and expen- ditures will be raised in connection with various appropriation bills. Efforts will be made, it Is stated in different bills to attach riders which will distinctly limit the powers of the comptroller general.
 The theory of congress in giving the comptroller general large pow CTS over account and expenditures at the time the budget system was created was that this official should be responsible to congress and 1t. alone, for his rulings Furthermore, it was the theory that unless the comptroller general was amenablo to congress alone, he could not hold the brakes on expenditures by offi- cals and employees and determine when expenditures were within the law.
