Reorganization Under Way as
New Assistant Secretary
Takes Office

Coincident with the induction into
office today of Lincoln C. Andrews,
Of New York, as assistant secre-
tary, a reorganization Of Treasury
activities was started by Secretary
Mellon.
Andrews succeeds Eliot Wads-
worth, who resigned for the ex-
pressed purpose Of taking a long
rest" A letter was made public
expressing "a feeling of very gen.
uine regret on the part Of Secre-
tary Mellon at Wadsworth's retire
ment. Mellon paid a high compli-
nent to Wadsworth's services.
1t was considered significant OF
impending activity in relation to
an attempt to collect foreign debts
due this Government that the Sec
retaryship Of the debt funding com
mission has been assigned to Under
secretary of the Treasury Winston,
Melons first assistant. This posi-
ton had been held by an Assistant
Secretary.
While an Assistant Secretary will
keep in closer touch with the prob
lens Of the prohibition unit, there
will be no change in the status Of
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
for the present, according to
Treasury officials.
AS a result of the Senatorial in
vestigation of the bureau Of internal
revenue, it was anticipated that the
reorganization plan contemplates
that an Assistant Secretary will
take a greater hand in direction of
Commissioner Blair's office than be-
fore.
other duties were allocated as
follows:
Assistant Secretary Dewey, Treas
urer's office, Controller of the Cur
rency, railroad loans and other
fiscal affairs.
Assistant Secretary Andrews, GUS
toms. coast guard, and the prohibi
ton unit.
Assistant Secretary Moss, inter
nal revenue, public health, and
architect.
The prohibition unit was removed
from the jurisdiction of Moss, but
to Undersecretary Win
ston this internal Encouragement
does not effect in any way the
policy of handling matters within
the department, and the prohibition
unit will continue to act as hereto
fore through the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue"

CARTER To GIVE
HIS VERSION Of

DHMH
Public Printer Will Defend
Self on Vet Charges in
Letter to Coolidge

The defense of Public Printer
George H. Carter against the
charges made by world war vet
Grams dismissed from the Govern
ment Printing Office will be made
to President Coolidge in the next
few days.
In advance Of the formal reply
from the Department Of Justice on
the legal phases of the issue, the
President expects to have a full
statement of the case from both
parties to the controversy before
him. He is anxious to obtain both
versions OF the facts before taking
any action.
Public Printer Carter, in his
letter to the President, will deny
the charge that he violated the
law in Diminishing 179 workers, in
Guiding the ex-service men. The
error made in six OF the cases has
been corrected, he will say.
Recent increases in salary
amounting to $1,000,000 annually in
the Government Printing Office,
with no additional appropriations
to take care Of them, have forced
an automatic reduction in force,
the Public Printer will say, and
the discharges were determined
upon strictly in accord with the
efficiency ratings made by deputy
officials of the plant.
The legal opinion of the Depart.
ment Of Justice on the alleged VIC
lations of laws by the Public
Printer, cited in the charges brought
against him by the Veterans of
Foreign Wars, has been completed
and will be sent to the White
House next week.
