TRIP PROOF ASKED
McCarl Says Extended Leave
Can Be Used Only for
Legion Convention.

IN regulations governing payment
OF salaries to persons taking extend
ed leave from the Government to at
tend the American Legion convention
in Paris next Summer. Controller
General AIcCarl has informed all de-
partments and establishments that
arrangements must be made for get
ting evidence that the employe aC-
tually attended the convention.
The extension of annual leave
clause provided by act of Congress
for those who desire to go to Paris
with the Legion stipulates that accu-
mulatiye annual leave can be taken
only for that one purpose. McCarl in
his instructions points out details of
how this bookkeeping must be
handled so as to receive approval OF
his office, but calls especial attention
to the need of evidence of attendance.
For ordinary pay roll purposes. the
regulations state, current calendar
year or fiscal year leave will be COM
sidered as taken first, and payments
to employees for such leave will be ac-
cepted without special notation as to
attendance; but for all payments for
leave accrued during the preceding
year there will be required a positive
statement by the administrative of
flee that evidence of attendance at
the convention has been received
:. The character of the evidence
that should be required by the eXecu-
tive departments and Independent es-
adjustments to determine whether the
empiOye is entitled to the benefits of
the statute, is for administrative CON
sideration, but it may be proper to
note here the desirability of uniform
ity in those requirements throughout
the Government service"
1t has been suggested that the chief
clerks of the Government groups
work out a uniform plan.
