WORCESTER, Mass, Jan. 3d.
Professor Robert H. Goddard of
Clark university, believes his strato-
sphere rocket, when perfected, will
zoom sixty miles into space in some
thing like eight minutes.
Experiments have convinced the
Worcester scientist that his twelve
foot rocket ship will have a flying
range of fifty to sixty miles and a
cruising speed of 500 miles an hour.
The 50O-mile speed was indicated
by actual test flights in New Mexico
two years ago, but since then Pro-
fessor Goddard, because of curtail-
ment of grants from the Guggen-
helm Foundation, has worked only
in the laboratory.

XKTASHINGTON, Jan. 30
w Cabinet members and gen.
eraIssimos Of the new deal have
discovered again. along with the
country, that there is a financial
dictator with powers tranScenolng
those which a confused congress
conferred upon President Roose-
welt.
John Raymond McCarl, con-
troller-general CT the UnlteC
States, rises in the dizzy melee OF
fast moving recovery measures to
thunder No" to an important
project. He has held the slum
clearance and housing plan OF the
public works administration I'M
constitutional and shut off its
funds. Efforts now are being made
to clear up this tangle.
Harold L. Ickes, secretary of in
terror. public works administrator,
was reused to fury at Mr.. Nc
Carls decision just as cabinet Of
ficers have been at intervals ever
since congress created the post OF
controller general in 1921.
The President may evolve new
projects. cabinet members may
formulate plans, congress may
appropriate to carry them cut,
but rot a nickel can be spent un-
til the controller-general ap-
proves. He is a one-man supreme
court of finance.
Mr.. McCarl is responsible only
to congress. only congress can
remove him, though he was APP
pointed by the President. His
term is fifteen years and 1t will
end July l. 1896. He can not sue
coed himself.
TTAD not congress created the

an accompaniment to the budget
act it is likely that such an Of
flee would have been created at
this time to supervise the spend
ing of billions of public money.
This reform grew directly out
of the vast wartime spending
spree, when billions were poured
out. There were charges, some OF
them subStantiated, that part of
the war money had been spent
recklesSly, loosely and carelessly.
So congress set up a check in the
controller general. He has held a
tight rein on the public purse ever
since. His duty is to see that the
money is spent only for the spe-
cific purpose designated by con-
greSS.

WHITE HOUSE
TO SERVE wine,
But NO L|QU@'
U. S. VintageS Will Have
Preference When Legal,
Says First Lady.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3o.-Simple
American wines, but no distilled
liquor, will be served at formal
White House dinners, Mrs. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt said today after a
conference with the President.
Mrs. Roosevelt made the an
nouncement at her weekly press
conference. She said:
by the 18th of February it will
become legal in the District of Co
lumbia to serve wines. No distilled
liquor will at any time be served in
the White House. There will be no
fixed rules as to wines when served.
There will be, of course, preference
given to American wines"
No Service This Season
AS the formal social season will
end before liquor and wine are
legal in the District of Columbia,
the White House crystal wine glasses
will see no service this season, how
ever. Lent begins Feb. IA, and the
law will not allow the sale of liquor
in the national capital until after
that.
Wines and liquors have not been
served at the White House officially
since 1917, when the District of Co.

hours that whisky was not barred
from the private quarters on the
second floor during the Harding adj
ministration. She describes the sup
pers of chicken sandwiches and
champagne following formal White
House receptions during her fathers
administration.
The complete crystal wine service
belonging to the White House was
packed away during the Hoover adj
minjStration, and has been taken
from the attic and polished for use.
Wine Service Old Custom
Wine was a part of practically
every formal dinner given by the
President from Washington's day
until Wilson'S.
Mrs. Roosevelt's personal abstinence
from alcoholic beverages was sub
ordinated to her consideration for
other persons when she announced
that legal beer would not be barred
from the White House. Three point
two beer has never been served at
large functions, however, except at
parties for the young persons. Only
punch, with little cakes, is served at
White House receptions.
