 If the dsbursing officer disregards the opinion restitution of the payment may be de- manded when the violation is shown by post audit.
 Many times the Controller General has given rulings forbidding payments of amounts under an act. One of the recent ones prevented the President from undertaking a project for planting of trees in the Southwestern dust bowl" Subsequently the executive order was changed so as to permit this project to go ahead but at the time MT. Roosevelt was known to resent what he probably considered an interference with the Executive by an of ficial responsible only to Congress.
 The present bill, drafted by a special con- mittee headed by Senator Byrnes, would change this It would separate the powers of spending and auditing, placing the former under the Director of the Budget as chief financial officer of the Executive Department and therefore directly under the control of the President It would transfer the auditing powers to an Auditor General responsible only to Congress, who would concern himself with reporting to the legislative branch upon how the Executive Department kept it's books, spent it's appropriations and conducted its financial affairs In the event the Auditor General found what he deemed to be an lm- proper settlement of an account by the Budget Director, he would have to report promptly to Congress.
 The proposal has engendered sharp dis putes both in and out of Congress. Many accountants who recommend @ similar sys- tenn for large private enterprises, oppose it as a governmental system on the ground that an entirely different situation is created by our form of government Others hold that the system would be workable as an absolute check upon government finances and that it would be as efficient in government as it is in busi- ness.

THE REORGANIZATION BILL

The Reorganization bill which has passed the Senate and being fought out again in the House of Representatives probably is the most controversial measure come before this session of Congress The bill would give the President the right to reorganize combine abolish bureaus subject to subsequent veto by Congress. The result has been vigorous battle, based primarily on the contention that the measure would give the Chief Executive too much authority over he affairs Of government.
 During the flglt in the Senate it was contended that the bill would the transfer of the Forest Service the Interior Department but Senate Leader Barkley during debate declared, T would be willing to bet my head against the hole in a doughnut that it is not transferred The Senate passed the measure without any amendments, excluding certain depart ments, mainly the Forest Service and Veterans Bu- reau from the provisions of the bill
 But argument still waxes hot in the House and while some departmental change is opposed, one of the major bones of contention is the provision to alter the present Federal accounting and auditing system Explaining that phase of the measure Henry N Doris writing from Washington for the New York Times says:
 The system, started in 1921, designed

Will We Pretend That Austria Exists?
CPhiladelphia Record)

Philadelphia RecoroD
 The annexation of Austria brings up the question of American recognition policies in most embarrass ing form
 Under the doctrine put forward by former Secre- tary of State Stmson and still partly adhered to, this county refuses to recognize any change in government brought about by invasion force.
 Under it. we withheld recognition from Manchu- kuo and from the Italian conquest of Ethiopia.
 If we are consistent we will refuse to admit that Austria has ceased to be a nation.
 That noble. if somewhat realistic gesture will add little to the worlds moral dsapproval of Hitler. but at the same time it may help him in very practical way.
 Austria is on the 'generalization list of nations which have trade Arrangements with our Government, Germany is not If continue to pretend that Austria exists as Independent nation, Naz pro- ducts that could now be sold here can be shipped from Austria.
 Thus non-recognition may work to Htlers benefit and accomplish exactly the opposite effect from the one intended.
 On the other hand. the fact that we have followed the Stmson doctrine with regard to Manchukuo and Ethiopia would make recognition of the annexation of Austria like setting the seal of approval upon it.
 The dilemma shows up the essential flaw in the on-recogntion principle. Diplomatic recognition should not be based our approval of the methods Of foreign government nor of the manner in which it acquired power.
 Certainly, the annexation of Austria should not be recognized unless also give up the pretense of ignoring the Japanese conquest of Manchura and the Italian domination of Ethiopia But in the long it might be better to abandon the principle rey and go back to the recognition of all established governments, whether like them not

DOUBLE REBUFF.
Roosevelt Grim As HI
Moves On TydingS
BY GEORGE R. HOLMES

G.N.SO Undaunted by two
stinging slaps at his personal
prestige-in the outcome Of the
senatorial primaries in South
Carolina and California-Presi.
dent Roosevelt deviated not an
inch today from his plotted course
of seeking elimination Of those
Democrats he considers to have
been "unfaithful" to the New
Deal.
He accepted philosophically
enough the twin defeats chalked
up by the denomination of Senator
E. D. Cotton Ed Smith in South
Carolina, and the beating admin
istered in California to Senator
William Gibbs Dear Mac) Nc
Adoo, for whose denomination he
had campaigned vigorously.
GRIM ON TYDINGS
But there was a certain grim
ness in White House quarters. to-
day as Mr.. Roosevelt prepared for
his next effort-the "purging" of
Senator Millard F. Tydings in
Maryland. Mr.. Roosevelt is back
ing Representative David j. Lewis
for TydingS' seat. Over the week
end he will journey to the heart
of Tydings' territory, the eastern
Shore of Maryland. to strike a
blow in Lewis behalf.
Unlike the South Carolina pri-
mary, where sectional and racial
issues predominated, and Cali
fornia where a fantastic old-age
pension scheme played a domi-
nant part, the Maryland fight is
being conducted along lines more
truly national.
In Maryland Mr.. Roosevelt has
the whole-hearted sympathy Of
his political generaliSSimo, Post
master General James A. Farley,
which he has not had in some of
his other purge efforts.
INDIFFERENT ON NEVADA
The Maryland primary is on Sep
tember IL. Before that test, how
ever, comes the Nevada primary
on the sixth, where Senator Pat
McCarran is up for denomination.
McCarran is not loved by the Ad-
ministration. He was one Of the
leaders against the Supreme Court
bill. He opposed the reorganiza-
ton bill, as well as other White
House favored legislation.
The President, however, has
made no particular effort to "get"
McCarran, and there Is rather an
indifference in Administration
quarters as to whether he wins or
loses next Tuesday.
After Maryland, on the twelfth,
comes Georgia's primary on the
fourteenth. There, the President
has spoken out loud against the re-
nomination of Senator Walter F.
George, whom he has described as
a conservative of the deepest dye.
The White House candidate in
Georgia is Lawrence S. Camp, the
Federal district attorney.

warned that the party faced de-
feat in November's general elec-
ton If it espoused the novel $3.50

McAdoo, although backed by

blessings, was defeated by Sheri-
dan Downey, a leading advocate

He laid his defeat solely to his
blunt rejection of the So-called
"scrip-tease" measure upon which
voters will ballot at the general
election. Under the proposed meas
ure every unemployed person in
the State over SO years of age
would receive $50 in State-isSued
