MCCARL BALKS
MACHINE FOR
u. 5. TESTS
By J. EARLE MosER

bJ Ss A1GAAgA@AA NA~S~
While Agriculture and Treasury
were pondering the meaning Of
two decision of the Comptroller
General in regard to the future
Of AAA employees, third decision
from the watchdog of the Treas
ury" was revealed today that has
put a crushing blow on q fond
ambition Of the Civil Service
Commission.
Answering o letter from the
commission dated october IS, Mr..
McCarl ended definitely, perhaps
forever. the commiSSion's dream
of installing photoelectric ma
chimes designed to grade intelli-
gence-test types of examination
papers.
The idea had been developed
by DR.. L. j. O'Rourke. director OF
the Civil Service Commissions
division of research, who had
been assured by the Bureau Of
Standards that such q machine
could be built to operate etti-
ciently.
Among it duties it would have
counted all papers fed into 1t,
check answers to test questions
and tally them, total all the grade
of each test paper, mark correct
answers and total correct answers
to any batch of examination pa
pers that were sent through it.
According to the commission,
the proposed machine would have
saved untold amounts of money,
and particularly would have aided
in disposing Of the countrywide
examinations for postal clerks
and carriers, railway postal clerks
and rural carriers that have
caused the commission to schedule
a night force beginning Fehru'
ary 3.
While the machine would have
done in five seconds the work the
average reviewer needs five or six
minutes for, the principal item to
which Mr.. McCarl objected was
the cost, which was estimated at
S25, 900. The cost item had been
approved by the Budget Bureau,
and the amount needed is in
Cluded In the 1886 supplemental
estimates" for the Civil Service
Commission. The Comptroller Gen
eral, however, answered:
'NOwhere in the regular ap-
preparation for salaries and ex-
penses, 1886, nor In the def.
cheney appropriation Of $4,000
made In the act Of August IL,
1885, for the same objects, Is
any mention made Of . labor
saving device. And while the
appropriation provides specifi-
cally for equipment, there is
nothing in the law to indicate
an intent to authorize the pro
curement Of any equipment
other than such as may be OBJ
tanned in the usual way after
advertising, as required by law"
He added:
"The amount involved Is so
large and the purpose 50 novel
that the proposed expenditure
cannot be held to be authorized
in the absence Of . provision in
the appropriation act so
worded as to leave no room for
doubt as to tie intent Of Con-
gress to authorize such expendi-
ture.
"Under the circumstances It
must be held that the use of
the appropriation in question
for the development and pur-
chase of machine of the kind
described is not authorized"

Assurance

Headed by President E. Claude
Babcock, a delegation of mem
bers of the A. F. g. E. stationed
in the AAA, yesterday called
upon AAA Administrator Chester
Davis to discuss the problems
confronting personnel Of the
agency since the Supreme Court
death sentence"
According to A. F. G. E.
headquarters, Mr.. Davis ex'
pressed hope that some solution
might be found that will make
possible the continuance Of most
of the permanent and indefinite
employees Of the service, and said
he is arranging some sort of
tenure for these groups that will
continue them until the end Of
February. This, however, does
not coincide with AAA's an
nouncement that temporaries
will be separated" by Janu.
ary 81.
It was said today that en-
ployes who have civil service
status will be certified to the
Civil Service Commission within
the next few days for the re-
employment register, so far as any
possibility exists that they may
be dismissed or furlonged. In
cases where their future contains
doubt, they will be certified any
way. According to the A. F.
G. e. statement, "fired" employees
will get any accrued leave due
them, Is days notice and 80
days furlough-in other words,
at least As days in employment
status plus accrued annual leave.

MANY, TAXPAYERS
SEEK ADJUSTMENT
II OF ASSESSMENTS
PRACTICALLY FEW HAVE
TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF OP-
PORTUNITY TO SETTLE, AL
THOUGH MANY APPLY

Many taxpayers have asked
that the tax adjustment board
consider their cases and many adj
justments have been ordered. Few,
however, have taken advantage of
the opportunity to pay up with
substantial decrease in taxation,
according to the records of Coun-
ty Clerk Ross C. Sawyer.
Explaining the tedious and ex-
haustive processes by which the
final adjustment figures are ar
rived at, Mr.. Sawyer pointed out
that 100 cases have been before
the tax adjustment board and to
work out the figures, according
to the law governing the pro-
cedure, necessitatcd his working
several weeks up to midnight
daily.
At the conclusion of the work
and with 100 of the voluminous
reports approved and signed by
the members of the board of
county commissioners, only 10 of
the 100 applicants have paid
their taxes.
On these 100 applications and
adjustments the figure represent
ing taxes due totalled $56,005.52.
After adjustments had been au-
thorized and the reductions made,
the total showed $38,022.99 due
the county. With that part of the
total allowed by payment in
bonds, Clerk Sawyer points out
that the total reduction is almost
SO percent of the original taxes.
Yet, his records show, the 10
property owners who have paid
have reduced the total by only
$3.611.29, leaving a balance of
$34.411.7O yet to be paid.
The 81 property owners who
have not paid up to now, have
six months in which to pay their
obligations Mr.. Sawyer fold The
Citizen. but if paid now the
amount shown on the tax adjust
ment sheets will be all that is
necessary. Waiting on the part
of the property owner only means
they will be penalized, it is
shown.
