of each individual employe In a stand
ardized form originated by McCari. The
method, McCarl said in his report, was
believed to be "the most economical
method of securing the information
needed to set up the liability accounts
in such a manner as to reflect reliable
data for the use of the Congress, the
board Of actuaries, and the Department
of the Interior"
Fund Balance Shown.
The balance in the retirement fund
on June 80, 1928, Secretary Melons
report showed, was SS3,134,431.77.
Credits to the fund during the fiscal
year aggregated $29, ,502, ,856.23, Of which
S26.454 ,6Ii. .68 was on account of de-
ductions from basic compensation Of
employees and service credit payments
and S3,048,244.55 represented interest
and profits on investments. Expendi-
lures on account of refunds to en-
ployes, annuities, ETC., amounted dur
compared with $13,429,09290 for the
previous year. The total earnings and
profits on investments to June 30 1928,
amounted to S13,211, 1896.
In order to begin the financing of
the liability of the Government in con-
nection with this fund Congress pro-
vided during the last session an initial
appropriation of $19,950.000. This sum
was placed to the credit of the fund
on July /, 1923. and was invested as of
that date in special issues of Treasury
notes bearing interest at the rate of
per cent per annum, payable on June
80 of each year. 1t is contemplated that
an annual appropriation will hereafter
be made for this fund until the liability
of the Government has been fully COW
cred. The appropriation should be avail
able for investment on July l of each
wear

HOUSE GETS FIRST
BIG SUPPLY BILL
Treasury.Post Office Meas
ure Asks $1,116,675,389,
Increase of $20,245,806.

The first and largest of the II big
Government supply bills of the present
session of Congress to support al ac-
tivities of the Federal Government dur
ing the fiscal year beginning July
next, was presented to the House today,
Immediately after receipt of the Federal
budget. This i is the Treasury-Post
Office appropriation bill, carrying total
of $1,116,675, ,389, which is $20,245, ,8O6
more than the appropriation for the
current fiscal year. OF the total carried
ury Department, which is decrease of
$18,744,877 under current appropria-
tions, and for the Post ONCE Depart
ment $813,215,725, an increase of
$38,990,683 under current appropria-
tions.
Ii the Treasury Department section
of the bill the appropriations cover
such branches of the Federal service as
the Bureau of the Budget, the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing, the Bureau
Of Prohibition, the Coast Guard, the
Customs Service, the Federal Farm
Loan Bureau, the Internal Revenue
Service, the Public Health Service and
the Secret Service.
For the Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing the total appropriation is in
creased from $6,207,7 ,795 to $6,376, ,260. or
an increase of $168,465. There however
is included in the 1880 figure the sum
Of $370,728 for carrying out increases
under the amended classification act.
Eliminating this figure from considera-
ton, the appropriations for the bureau
show a net decrease of $202, 1858, which
is due to the new note program.
Congress has been advised that the
new currency will be placed in circula-
ton in July, 1929. 's's' '-s'
Combining the decrease, under the
Bureau of Engraving, with a decrease
under the item for distinctive paper of
$175000, the bill reported to the House
today will show reduction for 1880 on
account of the new notes amounting to
$377.263.

RULING BY M'CARL
CAUSE OF CLASH
Dispute Over Handling Civil
Service Retirement Fund
Features Reports.

A dispute between Controller General
McCarl and several Government depart
nents over the method OF handling ac-
counts of the civil service retirement
fund for thousands of Government en-
ployes was disclosed today in the an
nual reports Of Controller General Nc
Carl and the Secretary of the Treasury
Eight Government departments ana
establishments are listed by McCarl as
having SO far failed to comply with
his order Of last January setting up
a new system OF accounting. McCarl
ordered that each department set up
an account showing both the individual
deductions and the interest due to each
individual employe before reporting to
his office on the matter.
Several big departments. including
both the Treasury and Interior Depart
ment. which administers the retirement
funds, so far have not complied with
the controller generals orders.
Objections to New System.
A meeting recently was held, it was
learned today, at which representatives
OF the departments undertook to ex-
plain to the general accounting Office
that the new system entailed too much
work upon them needlesSly. McCarl.
however, It Is known, Is standing by
his guns. There was no indication to-
day as to how the affair may be de-
cided
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
takes the position, it was learned, that
McCarl is wrong, and that his proposed
system should be changed The Treas
ury has not complied with the order.
Other Government groups which the
McCarl report shows have not set up
The new system include the Departments
Of Agriculture, Commerce. Interior.
Justice, Labor, War and the United
States Bureau Of Efficiency.
McCarl ordered the departments to
submit to him reports Of total deduc-
tions for retirement and the interest
thereon. The records were to be kept
