Washington, July 28.-Business is
peculiar.
BY all rules of the game it ought
10 be at least as flat as ever; even
more so, maybe.
1t is traditional that trade and in
dustry always are below par in a ma
tional election year. 1t also stands to
reason that a serious crop failure
makes times hard. The threat of large
scale labor trouble by rights should be
depressing influence. Of course,
widespread unemployment is, theoreti
cally, bad for all classes.
AND BUSINESS IMPROVES!
We'll.

Boston, Mass, July 28.-(AP)-
Frank 1. Neild, president of the

"Government induced scarcity

For the first time in the expert

TO HARRISON,
IS HINT
BY J. EARLE MOsER

Comptroller General McCarl Is

teenth year Of his reign as cSar OF
the General Accounting office and
as official mo" man in regard to
how the Governments money may
be used. He may not succeed him.
self, according to the law that es-
tablished his office, and tongues
are wagging in an attempt to pre-
dict his successor.
There has already been . rumor
that Frank Yates. No. 1, assistant
to Mr.. McCarl. and the famous re-
ciuse's principal contact with the
outer world, will get the post. Mr..
Yates unQueStionably would I'LL
the bill excellently, his supporters
feel, due to his familiarity with his
boss work and other admirable
qualities which he has demon
strated during his term as the
Comptroller Generals aide.
However, it is felt in certain
quarters that the strongest candi-
date and most probable successor
will be none other than Senator
Pat Harrison, Of Mississippi, chair
man of the Senate Finance Com
mittee. This is explained by the
fact that Senator Harrison faces
an election and is fairly certain to
be opposed by the combined forces
Of Theodore Bilbo and the late
Hughey Long, which means almost
sure defeat and the well-known
condition of being out Of work.
Thus, some say. Senator Harrt-
son will be handed the remunera-
tive consolation prize Of the comp
troller generalship-and only time
win tell If the rumor has factual
basis.
The possibility Of a congress
sional move to make the job Of life
duration, like Supreme Court ap-
pointment, is said to be definitely
out. For awhile it was thought
possible because Of Mr.. McCarPS
fine record. But the oncoming IS
years form too nice q stretch and
too nice a berth in which to place
q Democrat, 1t is said.

Interesting

Incidentally, it is interesting to
note that the requirements for the
chief of the General Accounting
office lean much more to the legal
side than they do to accounting.
The problems presented, while for
the most part handled by person
mel, are almost entirely legal and
have to do with whether money
can be used in q certain way
rather than how it shall be re-
corded.
