CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, July
16.-Dr. John ]. Corson, assistant ex-
ecutive director Of the Social Security
Board. told the Institute Of Public
Affairs today the fundamental basis
Of the Federal old-age benefits pro-
gram was the conservative ideal Of
thrift"
III that system has flaws, and If It
is limited" he said, 1T Is not because
the main concept Is wrong. Rather,
in working out system to apply to
millions Of persons, 1t Is impossible
to achieve universal justice, efficient
administration and complete coveraee
all at one stroke"
Operating experience may indicate
need Of many changes, he said, but
II the contributory system Is at al
impaired, 1t will be all the more nee.
essary later to take special steps to
indicate how heavy the cost Is and
who is meeting It,"
While the United States has been
the last Of the great industrial ma
tions to face the "inadequacy OF the
individual" DR.. Corson said the Amer
ican record in establishing social Sc
curity program during the past two
years was one Of which the Nation
might well be proud.
"Yet much remains to be done. Ad-
ministrative difficulties in the pro-
gram Of old-age benefits, If they exist,
must be promptly eliminated. Other
wise an unthinking public may clamor
for an Immediately available general
pension wholly foreign to American
ways and traditions"

operative Survey.

In the face of pending legislation
supported by President Roosevelt to
abolish the Office of controller general
and strip the General Accounting Office
Of power over Federal expenditures,
. project backed by the White House
has been branded illegal by Acting
Controller General Richard N. Elliott,
who has refused to countenance dis
Rursements made in carrying it out
The issue revolves around a study
Of European co-operatives conducted
several months ago under the auspices
of the Federal Surplus Commodities
Corp, when a party of 10, led by
Jacob Baker, now head of the c. I. o.
>sponsored United Federal Workers of
America visited Great Britain and
Continental Europe. Baker, at that
time assistant administrator of the
Works Progress Administration and
vice president of the corporation, and
his associates on the expedition
sought reimbursement for expendi-
lures, amounting, it is understood, to
accounts at first were allowed in part,
then when additional questions were
raised Elliott held that none Of the
expenditures was lawful inasmuch as
1t was proposed to finance the trip
out of relief funds available only for
disbursement in the United States
and its possessions.
,xytfh
Elliott has called on those persons
whose accounts have been settled to
turn the money back to the Govern
ment. but the corporation has asked
for reconsideration.
The situation was disclosed in the
House yesterday in brief speech by
Representative Clifford Republican. OF
Massachusetts,, who put into the Rec
ord communication from Elliott to
the corporation in which the case was
outlined.
Clifford recalled that at the outset
OF this session of Congress he had
urged investigation of seven different
trips to Europe-sometimes they are
called junkets." The resolutions were
tabled he added, and he was advised
he should have been satisfied with
the brief letters received by the COM
mittees from the particular depart
= ments involved" Instead Clifford pur-
sued his inquiry Independently he ex-
planned, and the present case devel-
oped.
With obvious reference to the pend
ing reorganization legislation that
would do away with the controller gen.
eral, Clifford said that I'VE thank the
controller general. and I urge you to
read this report, because 1t may have
taken a little courage at this time to
make the decision"
AS Clifford concluded he was greeted
with applause when he declared: May
We continue to keep and avail our
selves of the Office of controller gen.
eral."

vide for an auxiliary airport closer
