the British public accounts commission,

So the United States is not the only
government that occasionally makes a
slip. 1t Is easy to find fault, to point
to extravaganza and waste to ramble
through the Federal establishment and
show case after case which calls for
attention. Indeed, we of the Budget
Bureau were not insensible to such in

of our critics.

AS TOLD TO WILLIAM p. HELM, JR.

More than 100000 temporary en-
ployes will be required for the census
of population next year. Space provi-

ers will be necessary. An estimate care
fully prepared by the census people
placed the cost Of leasing ,he needed
space at approximately $2.000,000.
An investigation was started by the
Federal Real Estate Board to determine
whether this could be reduced. The
board enlisted the aid of the Federal
Business Neutrality-suspicious. Of Fed
eral employees throughout the country
formed into associations to effect econ
omy in public business.
There are about 300 of the associa-
tons and they are very much in ear
nest. Their work has been OF great
value to the taxpayers; Many a dollar

have departed for other destinations
except for the vigilance of associations.
They went to work on the census
problem with vigor. The upshot was a
reduction of approximately $1.500,003.
or rs per cent. in this single item. In
stead of $4,000, 900 the Government will
spend about 100000 in leasing space
for its census enumeratorS and other
short-time census workers.
Due to the activity of the Federal
INedl ESTATE bOdIu anu IIle rSucIdt
Business Association the temporary
workers will utilize in many cases space
in schoolhouses and unoccupied COURT
rooms; they also will make more eco
nomical use of space now occupied
by the Government.
Up to June 80, 1928, the Federal Real
Estate Board had cleared 2.4l1 requests
to lease property at the rate Of $500 a
year or more. The total involved was
IS ,468,553, and every dollar was spent
advantageously. I doubt if that would
have been the case had II not been for
the work of this money-saving branch
of the Budget Bureau.
Easy to Criticize.

seems to point moral for those who

and started an investigation. It OBJ
tanned from the Bureau Of Mines an
expert and sent him to inspect the
plant. He reported that 1t could be put
into first-class repair for not more than
$500.
The request for $350000 was with
drawn. the repairs will be made, every
body will be happy and the taxpayers
will save $342,500.

made by Western contingent for ex-

AUTO|ST AND GIRL
BEATEN BY TRIO
Son of Millionaire Among
Those Charged With
Assault to Murder.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. July 15.-Charges of as
eault to murder had resulted today in
the indictment of three young Chica-
goanS. one the son of a millionaire.
The alleged assault was upon Casper G.
Schmidt, son of the city comptroller,
George K. Schmidt, and himself vice
president of the Prudential State Saw
ings Bank.
One of those indicted was John j.
(Bud) Corcoran, whose father, the late
John j. Corcoran. was the millionaire
head Of the Washington Construction
Co.
The trouble followed collision be-
tween cars in which Corcoran and
young Schmidt were riding. Schmidt's
story to the S.te's attorney was that
he was beaten by the Corcoran party
and left in the road for dead. A girl
companion, he said, also was dragged
from the car and beaten.
Secret indictments were returned,
leading to the arrest late Saturday of
Corcoran Ray Stenberg and Jack Wat
son, automobile dealers. The three we're
held over the week end.
Schmidt himself was sought today on
charges brought by Corcoran, who
blamed him for the assault.

DRY LAW KILLINGS
Speaker Declares Lutheran
Organization Is Not in Sym
pathy With volstead Act.

RIVER FOREST, Ill, June 22.-The
Lutheran Church late yesterday was
described by DR.. w. c. Kohn, president
of Concordia College here and an ON
cial In the Missouri Synod. as being not
sympathetic to the Volstead law and
vigorously opposed to 1.-THE absolutely
criminal practices Of prohibition officers
In shooting down innocent citizens"
Dr.. Kohn, who Is attending the
Thirty-fourth Triennial Conference Of
the Evangelical Lutheran Synod, ex-
pressed his views In statement pre-
pared for publication.
Members Of the Missouri Synod or
the Lutheran Church believe that since
the Volstead laws are In effect they
should be personally observed" the
statement said. But we do not agree
with the absolutely criminal practices
OF prohibition officers in shooting down
innocent citizens. Nor do we believe In
the principles that underline the Vol
stead laws"
The Lutheran Church believes all
Just laws should be obeyed, DR.. Kohn
declared, II the enforcement Is legal
"Dry shootings are sheer murder"
he said. killing transgressors Of the
Volstead act without fair trial Is un-
biblical, un-American and unciyilized.
such unlawful killings are equal to
murder. It Is criminal act to execute

The portal project Is also related to
the plans Of the commission to develop
