The statement issued today by for
mer Controller General McCarl con-
cerning President Roosevelt's reorgani-
zation program follows:
Some of the changes suggested by
the Presidents committee are vastly
more far-reaching than appears on
the surface, and at least one goes to
the very foundation of our plan Of
government.
For instance, its proposal to emas-
culate our independent accounting
system so brings into question the au-
thority of the Congress to effectively
safeguard and prescribe the uses of
public moneys as to go far beyond any
matter of reorganizing existing agen-
cies. It appears in effect proposal
to revamp the respective jurisdictions
of two of the three coordinate
branches of Government-withl loss by
the Congress of means whereby to dis
charge its constitutional responsible
ties to the country.
Power Vested in Congress.
The independence of our account
ing system is based upon the au-
thority and responsibility of the Con-
gress to safeguard and to prescribe
the uses of the public moneys. Such
authority is essentially in the peoples
forum in any self-governing society
and is constitutionally vested in the
Congress of the United States. 1t
would be little more than an idle
gesture for the Congress to Stipulate
or limit by law the uses to which a
particular appropriation might law
fully be employed and be without
means of exacting observance Of such
law by the spending agencies. The
present law provides that means by
imposing a duty upon the General Ac-
counting Office, an agency independent
of the spending branch, to see to 1t
that such laws are observed. If the
independent accounting system should
be emaSculated as proposed, the Con-
gress would be without such means
and would be impotent in these vital
matters.
Then, too, when economy in Gov
ernment is so utterly essential, due
to our public debt condition, any
wisdom in striking down our one
money-saving agency. is difficult to
see.

The President wants to bring in the
exempt positions by non-competitive
examination, provided certain safe
guards are set up to keep out the un-
fit. To the contrary, there is senti-
ment in both Senate and House in
favor of competitive tests.
Chairman Ramspeck of the House
Civil Service Committee. who also
spoke last night at the employees
meeting, arranged by the American
Federation of Government Employees,
repeated that he wanted competitive
tests. being unwilling to perpetuate
present conditions.
The radical change proposed for
administering civil service, however,
will not go by unnoticed. The civil
service act was passed 81 years ago
next Saturday and in that time there
has never been basic change in the
law.
Now, the three-member board Is
made up of two majority and one
minority party members To supplant
these with an administrator who
would be selected by competitive ex-
animation is designed to take away
the political angle, but whether 1t
would work out that way Is some
thing else again.
The proposal to set up concurrently
a volunteer board Of seven to serve as
watch dog" is already under scrutiny.
1T looks too much like a -
Chamber of Commerce idea" was the
comment of Representative Maverick
of Texas.
Comments from both Senate and
House were generally favorable to the
proposal to give the President six
aides, who, in effect, would be liaison
officers between White House and de-
partments, and would in addition be
charged with co-ordinating inter-de-
paTtmental operations where they
crossed each other.
Conflicts Awaited.
Meanwhile, observers are standing
by awaiting the inevitable tugs-of-
war when and If inter-agency shifts
are started.
Many are at loss to figure Just where
the line Of demarcation will come
when the time comes to split the
judicial and administrative functions
Of some of the commissions.
Independent agencies are long lived;
derive solid support from those on the
outside to whose needs they minister,
and on the inside from the stats. A
wide-open field for conflict would be
more than proba ability in the cases
of the more powerful units when 1t
was proposed to subordinate them to
some overall establishment.
Cabinet officers also are touchy on
the question of give and take, although
much Of the potential trouble has
been eliminated in the Presidents
plan, under which just about all is
take"
Although the general lines of con-
templated transfers are shown In the
Brownlow report, the President does
not intend to indicate his intentions
in this direction until his program is
law.
Already there has been one mur-
muir. Leaders Of the National Grange
said they favored continuing all land
use" activities under the Agriculture
Department, and whether the presi-
Dental plan would shift to the Con
servation" (now Interior) Department
more than 100000 acres of national
forest lands now administered by the
Agriculture Department was q big
question.

THE FAMILY REUNIONS

Days of summer and early autumn
see many family clans assembled
for reunion festivities. 1t is not an
easy thing. in the case of most fami-
lies. to get them together for such
a gathering. They are apt to be
scattered over the world, and many
of them have almost forgotten family
ties. Some do not know their cous-
ins. perhaps rarely write to their
own brothers and sisters.
A good dinner and jolly speeches
make everyone feel good at such Oc-
casions. Promises of eternal friend
ship are made. possibly to be forgot
ten when the cares of daily life set
tie down on these folks again.
People should be proud of belong
ing to a good family that has helped
build up the country. We all owe
something to the names we bear,
and the folks who handed them down
to us. Perhaps they are watching
us from some celestial sphere. and
wondering if we would work as hard
under difficult conditions as they
did.

SNEEZING SUFFERERS

The hay fever season is now on.
To us an old slang phrase. it is
nothing to be sneezed at" The
running eyes, the tickling nose, and
general discomfort of this malady
is a serious handicap to life and
work. 1t is no particular comfort
to the victims to tell them that suf-
ferers from this disease are usually
people of some intellectual ability.
whose sensitive nervous systems
make them susceptible.
The pollents of plants. which lodge
in sensitive membranes, appear to
be the principal agents of this trou-
BILE. Find the wicked little pollen
that does the dirty work. and the
disease can usually be cured in in
oculation. II residents in cities and
towns would clear out all weeds
from their grounds, suffering from
this cause would probably be much
less.
Milford chronicle., 1937-08-27
OBTAINING RECOGNITION

There are sore hearts and bitter
talk sometimes. from people who
feel they do not get chance to
show what they can do in their home
towns. They feel they have GER
tain gifts. they could sing or dance
o. take part in plays or run churches,
or show business capacity. but no.
body asks them to do these things,
and they don't see how to get a
chance.
Any good town has use for tai
ent. People have to show what they
can do. and usually in small ways
first. If you are disappointed that
you are not made a leading officer
of some organization. tell the officers
of that society that you are interest
ed in their movement. and would
like to do something to help it on.
They will find some job for you
quicker than you can say Jack Rob-
inson. Don't worry if it is a small
job. If you do it we'll. they'll give
you a bigger one soon.

RUN WHEN THE GUNS SH00T

Three Americans were killed in
the bombing of the Chinese city Of
Shanghai, August 14th. The next
day U. S. authorities called for the
evacuation of all American women
and children from that city,
The world is as full of trouble CEN
ters as volcano is of spouting jets
of flame. Some strenuous people
say the long arm of Uncle Sam
should reach out and protect all
Americans. wherever they go. Only
thus. they say. will Americans be
secured inf foreign lands.
Yet If our army and navy were
sent to fight all the people who put
our citizens in peril, our country
might be fighting wars most of the
time. Probably we shall have to
ask our people to keep out of thou
BILE zones, or take their own risks.
The last war cost us 100000 lives,
and has cost $50, ,O00, ,OOO.OOO in money.

the prudent man does so. and lives
longer in consequence.

fHE ESSENTIAL AdroMoBILE

The Grand Island Independent re-
marks joeosely, that before the
average man can get married these
days. he has to show mis- girl two
licenses-marriage and automobile. -
Also it could be added, that before
the girl friend will do much going
around with a boy. she usually has
to be shown that he has the use of a
car. And she does not thank him
for coming for her in a rickety old
rattle-trap. s"
The old folks lament, and say no
boy was ever turned down in their
young days merely because he had
no horse and buggy. A girl would
gladly walk to places then if it was
not too extreme distance.
Some families remark that it is
quite unjust that their boys should
be sighted by girls of their set,
simply because these families have
no automobiles which their young
sters can make use of. The girl who |
looks askance at one sof them be-
cause he expects her to walk a short |
distance to a dance. may wish at |
some later date she had been more |
friendly to this rising young man.
Many boys whose families had to
save every nickel. are now climbing
high, and can afford the finest cars
in the land. Such girls would better
study the essential characteristics of
a youth before turning him down.
Some boys show remarkable en-
terprise and skill in owning cars of
their own. which they bought for
trifie, and have somehow learned to
keep running at small expense.
People are no longer satisfied with I
he things of their own neighbor-
hood. If there is a show or sporting
went in a nearby town that they !
want to see, they must have a car !
o get to it. WOrkmen travel many {
niles to jobs which they could not &
Ill without moving their homes if
hey can no cars. This eagerness TO q
btain such wonderful facility G
houId not lead people to fail to pay
heir debts or accumulate any saw
ngs Ambitious people need resour-
es. which still calls for thrift and
aving money. 7

THE LITTLE LINDBERGH

The world heard with interest a
few days ago that little Jon Lind
bergh. son of the famous Col. and
Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh, is now
five years old.
The Lindberghs seem to get at
their new home in Weald. England
the seclusion and privacy which they
crave. 1t is too bad they had to go
tu a foreign country to obtain it.
The American people seem to like
to shine in the limelight so much,
that they don't understand anyone
who runs away from it. If the dis
tinguished Colonel and his much ad-
mired lady were to return to Amer
lea. they would probably find peo-
pie disposed to leave them in the
peace and quiet which they crossed
the seas to get.

DR.. Watkins. dean of the Univer-

traitor of industrial disputes. esti-
mates that since 1914 strikes and
lockouts in the United States have
caused losses mounting up to $780,
00O. 100000. 1t will be argued by
many. that these stoppages of work
have produced as much as that for
employees in better wages and con-
ditions.
Still. that $4,000, 100000 has been
added to the cost of producing goods,
and the people who buy the goods
have had to pay most of this expense.
Just what the workers have gained
BY all these strikes is not SO clear.
The world has reached the conclu-
sion that in wars between nations,
everybody loses. 1t may work out
about the same in the total history

PURSUING THE OLD NICK

A United Press Dispatch from
Newcastle, Alabama, reports that
certain strange noises are attributed
by many colored people to the Old
Nick. who is supposed to have emerg-
ed from the earth and to be stamping
and blowing around their houses.
That district is in a coal mining re-
gion. and engineers think these
noises may be due to a rush of air
through subterranean passages.
It was not so many years ago that
any unusual noise that could not
be accounted for, was laid to the
devil and his various servitors. AL
most every village once had its
haunted house. Today the world
laughs at such fears. The devil does
not spend his energy making bad
noises. He steps around on tip-toe
and few people know when he Isl
putting in his best licks.
