DENY DEMOTING CLERK
FOR MISSPELLlNG NAME
Col. MacNider and Gen. Davis Had
No knowledge of Reduction
in Bonus Division.

Neither Col. MacNider, Assistant
Secretary of War, nor Gen. Davis,
the Adjutant General of the Army,
had any knowledge of the reported
demotion Of supervisor in the Bonus
Division until they read the story pub
lished this morning.
An investigation showed that Col.
MacNider's application for the bonus
was certified to the Veterans Bureau
in December. 1924, under his correct
name, properly spelled. On a recheck
of the bonus records in the Adjutant
Generals office in December, 1925. an
employe enormously notified the Vet
erans' Bureau that the certificate un-
der the name 'MacNider" should be
spelled "McNider." The error was dis
covered and no action was taken.
At the War Department it is de-
clared that no enploye of the Adiu.
tant Generals office was reduced be-
cause Of the incident. Prior to that
occurrence, however, there had been
a reorganization of the Bonus d.
vision, due to decreasing work, and
in such reorganization a number of
the supervising clerks were reduced
in classification. but that reduction
had no relation to the subsequent in
cident of the spelling of the name Of
Col. MacNider.
