Any bill to provide for an auto

Government departments probably
ill meet with the opposition of
tie General Accounting Office.
This was indicated today by j.

tounting Office, who declared that
such a system would in the long
lun react against the clerks and
rointed to the Army and Navy as
5laring examples.

The principal objection of the
accounting Office is that many
inefficient employees and laggards

Mr.. Woodside also said while

Under the present plan preference

While the office of the Comp

have the matter under considera-

Third Anniversary of the Pact
for Remuneration of War Today

Today the general pact for the re-
nunciation of war, Signed at Paris,
August 81, 1928, by practically all ma
tons, is three years old. The article
agreed to on that day was:
The high contracting parties SOL
EMMY declare in the names of their
respective peoples that they condemn
recourse to war for. the solution of
international controversies, and re-
nounce it as an instrument of national
policy in their relations with one an
other.
The high contracting parties agree
that the sediment or solution of all
disputes or conflicts of whatever ma
ture or of whatever origin they may
be, which may arise among them shall
never be sought except by pacific
means. The world disarmament con-
ference, called February 2, 1882, is
