day under the provisions Of the
Presidents blanket code, follow

such controversial issues of the

for the right to bargain with
their employees without interfer-
ence from outside organizations.
A program submitted to John
son last week was rejected with
out comment, but at Johnson'S

traitor disapproved because it
failed to provide a short work

In view Of the increasing activities of

obsolete Office of Public Buildings and
Public Parks, whose functions have been
taken over by the Interior Department.

The Apex Building, as designed by
the Treasury Department, was a COM
paratively small building, Mr.. Caem-
merer pointed out, adding that other

House announced yesterday that COM

planned, at least rs have had little OF

INFORMATION FEES
BANNED BY M'CARI
Commerce Department May Sup
ply Answers Without Spe-
cial Inquiry.

Special trade information not read

Commerce cannot be obtained in an
swer to inquirers who are willing to
pay for the service. Anything, how
ever. that can be obtained without
special inquiry abroad or without spe-
cial research will be supplied hereafter
as in the past.
This was learned today after Con-
troller General McCarl yesterday
turned down proposal of the de-
partment to supply special information
for a fee.
The ruling was made in answer to
an inquiry made by the department
and had its beginning in the passage
of the economy act, which curtailed

ment Is required to charge a fee, In
some cases the cost being ST per year.
The ruling of the controller general
however, forbids the handling of spe-
cial reports on a fee basis. The de-
partment had proposed to collect fol
each specific case, placing the money
in special fund. from which workers
employed in doing the research would
be paid
McCarl held that all fees charged fo
special work would have to go in 6
