The pending bill abolishes the Gen.

rent accounting to the budget director
and sets up a new auditor generals s

ports to Congress.
Senator Byrnes, Democrat, of South
Carolina made the opening statement
for the bill yesterday, going into par
ticular detail in defending the pro-
posal to create a new auditing
set-up. He contended there is no
pre-audit now by the General Ac-
counting Office, except when a bu-
reau head asks for ruling on a pro-
posed expenditure. He estimated this
occurs in only 312 per cent of the
accounts, leaving more than 96 per
cent IN the post-audit class.
