used. The Presidents recommended
| tions overlook two points-G) that
where the State is performing serv-
ice the public can demand certain
standards of fairness and equality Of
treatment; (2) that all public serv-
ices must be conducted in accordance
with law"
Martin sees in the Brownlow report
and the administration bill to cary it
into effect the assumption that the
only way the President can be made
responsible for the conduct Of the ad-
miniStration of Government is through
election at the polls once in four years.
"The President has certain RESPONSE
bility to Congress" he insisted, (which
passes laws and grants him the funds
with which to finance the administra-
ton of public business.
Sees Only Factual Audit.
This prominent Republican leader
said the new office of auditor general,
urged by the President in substitution
for the Controller General, would act
on Government accounts in the same
way that a firm Of outside auditors
would audit the books Of corporation.
He would merely have the power to
review expenditures after they have
been made. Consequently he would
have no power to disallow an illegal
expenditure.
The Presidents new bill provides
that the function Of financial settle
ment of claims due to and due by the
Federal Government should be placed
in the Office of the Secretary Of the
Treasury. This is a function We nor
mally associate with the power Of dis
allowance now exercised by the gen.
eral accounting Office Martin said.
The Controller General has been
applying the laws passed by Congress
for control of administration action"
he continued. Congress has minutely
regulated purposes for which public
funds can be expended, the general ac-
counting Office has been careful in at
tempting to enforce these laws-so
the proposed change would seem to
imply that the present administration
does not desire to conduct its affairs
in conformity with the laws enacted
by Congress"

exercised too wide power in the pre-

Measure.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

The Presidents proposal in execu-
tive session to the Joint Committee on
Government Organization, that he be
given absolute authority without time
limit, to abolish or regroup Govern
ment agencies. is being denounced by
Republican leaders as contrary to pub
lie law.

eral Accounting Office, and the Con-
troller General, transferring most OF
the functions to a new Bureau of
Fiscal Affairs in the Treasury De-
partment, on the ground that this is
wrongly conceived as a legislative
agency are in conflict with Article l
of the Constitution, they claim, which
embodies the grant of legislative au-
thority They quote section 9, para
graph 7, which reads: mo money shall
be drawn from the Treasury, but in

by law; and regular statement and

"Public law exists primarily to pro-
tect the people from the rulers" Rep
resentative Joseph w. Martin, rank

Minority Leader Smell, said yesterday.

audit brings the response from Rep
resentative Martin that the pre-audit
should be extended to all Government
expenditures. He points out that 1t
is a protection to certifying and dis
bursting officers from having claims
disallowed and charged back against
them personally. He emphasizes that
a vast saving might be effected
through a general pre-audit, because
then the whole procedure known as
administrative audit, for which the
new reorganization bill sets up an ex-
tensive organization, might be elimi-
mated. The whole problem Of collec-
ton of improper disbursements would
be practically eliminated. This was
urged in the annual report of the
former Controller General and in
Brookings Institution publication by
DR.. w. F. Willoughby, who was largely
instrumental in the installation Of
the budget and accounting system.
Duplication Seen.
Representative Martin also said that
the Presidents proposal to give the
Treasury the task of administrative
settlement of claims due to and
against the Government literally calls
for duplication Of the functions of the
proposed Auditor General by the Treas
ury Department, and to carry out this
job would require q staff about equal
to the present General Accounting
Office. He says that he Is reliably
informed that the General Accounting
Office, contrary to the contention Of
the Brownlow report, has set up ac-
counts for every Government estab-
lishment and has endeavored to see
that these accounts are followed.
Also, that the accounts required by
the General Accounting Office are
adequate for all cost accounting and

all budgetory purposes, but that the
Bureau of the Budget-an agency of
the President-haS chosen entirely to
disregard those accounts.
In this connection 1t is emphasized
that the budget and accounting sys-
tenn was set up to give the people bet
ter financial control with one agency,
the Budget Bureau, serving the Ex-
ecutive to control legislative appro-
priations and the other, the General
Accounting Office, serving Congress to
control executive expenditures for the
purposes specified by Congress.

What is there about a bathtub that brings out the baritone, the so- prano or tenor in us? Ferde Grofe, who believes that the bathtub IS radios greatest rival in the direc- ion of encouraging people to learn songs, has an answer. Tt is not the yplashing of water, or scented soap that starts us crooning," says Ferde. Tt is just a case of acoustics and psychology. A bathtub is sort of a reflector and magnifier of sound. A person singing in the bathtub hears his own voice amplified, and when the sound comes back to his ears, he hears the voice of Tibbett or Pons.

More Twas Opposed

nNE of the bills which President
~ Roosevelt wants congress to
push through in the expected special
session is the measure introduced by
Senator Norris creating seven more
TWAS to preserve and develop nat
ural resources throughout the coun-
try. The bill was approved by a
senate subcommittee but publica-
ton of hearings held by the house
committee on rivers and harbors
shows that interested departments
of the government oppose the plan.
In these published hearings the
Department of Agriculture especial
ly excoriated the authority idea,
saying that cit would permit and
seems even to propose duplication
by the conservation authorities of
a large part of the work of the
Department of Agriculture"
The Treasury department objected
to construction, operation, and main
tenance of sewage and industrial
waste disposal plants by federal au-
thorities working independent of
and not subject to health laws of
the respective states
The Department of Justice "pre-
ferred" not to offer any suggestion.
The Department of Labor reported

control and conservation.

contemplate" and said those
unions considered themselves now
out of the federation and awaited
any further action by the federation
with complete Indifference.
In the federation convention at
Denver it was taken for granted
that the ten c. I. o. unions would
be finally expelled, and President
Green announced plans for the attack
on the rival organization in several
great fields. The first vigorous blow
will be struck on the Pacific coast
in drive to organize workers in
the cannery and agricultural field.
The second battle ground will be
among the white collar workers gen.
orally, and an effort to Offset the
c. I. o. maritime groups on the
Pacific coast was considered.
One of the speakers in Denver
was Senator George L. Berry of
Tennessee. He has kept his press
mems union within the federation,
although he was closely associated
with Lewis in "Labor's Non-Parti-
san league" Berry maintained his
seat on the fence, wishing success
to the federation organization cam
paign, and also to the organizing
efforts of "others."
