under departmental control, and by
the movement gaining headway on
Capitol Hill to turn some of the con-
troller generals suggestions into new

posal, and no official so far has been

the cabinet officers and the heads of
the great independent establishments

extension of the power of the general
accounting office, and the loss OF their
own disburSing officers.
On the other hand, Mr.. McCarPs
suggestions seem to be meeting with
considerable enthusiasm from mem
bers of Congress. to which McCarl IS
