CONTROLLER GENERAL JOHN B.
~ McCarl, one Of the most powerful
and independent, officials of the gov
eminent, got into the headlines twice
within few days. First he put an
end to the NRA boycott against Henry
Ford by informing the secretaries of
agriculture and commerce that bids on
equipment by Ford dealers must be
received. This decision was held to be
broad enough to forestall further at
tempts to keep government business
away from dissenters to the NRA, so
long as the latter comply with the
terms Of the codes. The controller
general pointed out that nothing in
the national Industrial recovery act,
and nothing in. the code for the auto
mobile manufacturing companies, re-
quires that units of the industry must
sign anything.
A day or two later Mr.. McCarl ruled
that William e. Humphrey, deposed
federal trade commissioner, no longer
is entitled to the salary of that office
despite his claims that he is still COM
missioner. Salary In the amount of
S94.44 covering the period October 81
to 81, 1888. was ordered paid to George
G. Matthews, who was appointed by
President Roosevelt to replace Humph-
rey.
Humphrey decided to sue to attach
the salary of Matthews to test the le-
gality of his removal.
