M'CARL ASKED
TO REVERSE
PAY RULING

Auditor Daniel j. Donovan to re-
consider his refusal to sign a war.
rant transferring $4,000 from a
Polio Department surplus fund to
meet the salaries of two assistants
to Corporation Counsel e. Barrett
Prettyman.
Mr.. Donovan said all require
ments of the current District an.
preparation act had been met in
arranging the transfer, which
was designed to cover the salaries
of Assistant Corporation Counsels
Leo B. Fee and William ]. Hogan.
The appropriation act forbids
transfer of any fund unless speci-
fically authorized by the Bureau
of the Budget. Consent of the
bureau was obtained, Major Dono-
van said. and the transfer war.
rant was sent to Comptroller Nc
Carl, who refused to sign it and
returned it to the Treasury De-
partment.
Corporation Counsel Prettyman
could not be located today to
comment on the Comptroller's
decision.
Unless the Comptroller recon
Siders his decision, salaries paid
to both Fee and Hogan must be
met out of the budget for the
Corporation Counsel's office. AS
to the future, if the McCarl de-
cision stands, three alternatives
are open to District officials:
/. Dropping both Fee and Ho-
gan.
Q. Establishing payless fur
loughs for them and clerks in the
office to meet the necessary
funds.
3. Requesting a deficiency ap-
preparation at the coming session

u. 5. TO CLOSE
1872 CCC
CAMPS

Forty per cent Of all Civilian
Conservation Corps camps in the
United Statse are to be closed by
next July.
This was admitted today by Di-
rector Robert M. Fechner.
Concurrently, 1t was learned on
good authority that orders had
come from the White House to
keep the camps used for window
dressing" purposes. chiefly those
in State forests, along arterial
highways and in other spots WIS.,
tied annually by large numbers Of
persons.
1t is understood those in politi-
cally important areas also are to
be retained under the Presidents
instructions.
Giving Him Concern
Although Director Fechner in
sisted there. was mo politics in
the program, it is known by those
closely associated with the CCC
program that the order to close
up the camps in spots not re-
garded as politically important. as
we'll as those off the beaten track,
is giving him more concern than
any other development since the
corps was conceived.
1t was acknowledged that the
Presidents instructions woul d
necesSitate cutting the camp
personnel to 100000 and entail
the closing Of all but l.456 Of the
2,428 camps now in existence.
One reason for retaining camps
on highways, the director stated,
is that work in forests or other
inaccessible places can readily be
dropped temporarily. while 1T
would be injudiciouS to stop work
on dams. highways and other pro
jectS close to main roads.
Only BY Trail
Another reason for the move,
Mr.. Fechner said, is the difficulty
of reaching and Servicing camps
in isolated areas during the
winter. Some camps are acces-
sible only by trail, he stated. max
ing travel back and forth a prob
lem. Work in such camps can be
resumed when good weather re-
turns. he added.
Mr.. Fechner revealed it is the
present intention to cut the per
sonnel to 100000 by July /. and
recommend to Congress that the
CCC be kept on this basis perma-
nently. The decrease in the corps,
he indicated. could be brought
about through normal dismissals.

PUTS LID
ON NEWS
international News Service

President Roosevelt clamped the
lid on news at his press confer.
ence today over the New Year, ex.
planning that he would be very
busy during the intervening days
working on his two messages to
Congress, the annual message and
the budget message.
Questions asked today elected
little information. The President
said he had thus far no idea on
what day he would deliver his an
nual message. He had talked
casually to Speaker Byrnes about
it but reached no decision.
Asked to comment on the de-
parture from this country of Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh. and his wife
and infant son, the President
merely shook his head negatively.
Talked Commodities Bill
A conference he had last week
with Robert. Boylan. of the Chi.
cago Board Of Trade, concerned
a proposed commodities exchange
bill, the President said. This
measure had the backing Of Secre.
tary of Agriculture Wallace at the
last session of Congress but failed
of passage.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that he and
Boylan. across the table, had been
trying to iron out certain prob
lens and difficulties in connec.
ton with the bill which would
regulate commodity exchanges in
about the same way stock ex-
changes are now regulated.
Immediately after his press con-
ference the President received
delegates to the American ASso-
citation of Schools and Depart
ments of Journalism and the
American Association of Teachers
of Journalism, in convention here.
He held an off the record" press
conference for the group.
