Warren's S Report
Seen as WARNING
To All Agencies
Accounting Office Stoff
Seems to Have Followed
N. Y. A. Hearings Closely
BY WILL P. KENNEDY.

Warning to every agency of the
Federal Government in making ex-
penditures to hold rigidly to the
intent of Congress in making ap-
propriation, is given by Controller
General Lindsay C. Warren in the
report submitted to the House and
Senate Appropriations Committees
charging the National Youth Ad-
ministration with numerous irreg-
ularities and questionable transac-
tions."
The report emphasizes that no
branch of Government can build
up its own force, or strive Ito main
tain quotas" thus exhausting cur
rent funds in order to justify re-
quests for continuing, or increased,
appropriations.
The NJ Y. A. investigation was not
requested by the Congress, the Ap-
preparations Committee or the sub
committee on appropriations for
the Federal Security Agency, or any
individual member of Congress. The
inquiry indicates the policy Of the
General Accounting Office under Mr..
Warren Of doing its full duty under

japanese Offensive
Launched in Honan;
Chengchow Objective
10000 Chinese Troops
Declared Trapped by
Move Across Rivers
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, Oct. 2.-The Jap
anese launched new offensive in
Honan Province today, 500 miles
north of their Human Province cam
paign and apparently aimed, as.was
the other, at erasing the stigma of
an old defeat.
Japanese military dispatches said
the invading forces in Honan moved
southwark across the Yellow and
the New Yellow Rivers with Cheng-
chow (Chenghsien) as their objec-
tive, asserting 100, 900 Chinese troops
were trapped in the region around
Chengchow.
Important Rail Junction.
The city is an important junction
on the Lunghai and Peiping -Hankow
Railroads. which traverse Honan
from east to west and north to
south.
1t was in June, 1888, that the
Chinese saved Chengchow by dyna-
hitting the dikes on the Yellow
River between that city and the
capital, Kaifeng, flooding a strip of
country 10 miles wide. The altered
stream has remained for three years
as a barrier to the Japanese.
The provincial name "Honan,"
means South of the River" while
Human" means South of the
Lake"
The Human Province campaign,
now ending after a brief Japanese
push southwark, was in territory
where the japanese suffered a ram
king defeat in October, 1889.
1000 Chinese Slain in Mopup.
At the same time japanese troops
Shansi Province were said to have
slain approximately 1000 Chinese
in mopping up operations designed
to relieve pressure on Japanese
bases.
In Human Province, the Chinese
were reported to have lost $4,000
men in attempting to stop Jap
anese offensive which the Japanese
said had carried into the provincial
capital of Changsha. The japanese
announced yesterday they were
Withdrawing from the city because
"the purpose of the campaign has
been accomplished"
In Chungking, Chinese military
dispatches reported the Japanese
were in full retreat from Changsha
with Chinese troops "in hot pursuit,
disarming encircled and strayed
remnants" The japanese were said
to be retiring in three columns, one
following the Canton -Hankow Rail-
way and two following parallel high
ways.

the Budget and Accounting Act Of
1921, in studying the intent of Con-
gress in making appropriations and
whether the administrative agency
receiving the funds swerved from
this intent in making expenditures.
Follow Hearings on Bills.
The report on N. Y. A. shows the
General Accounting Office investi-
gators read hearings on appropria-
ton bills carefully and find leads
which may result in later inquiries.
The report quotes from the vigorous
croSs-examination of Aubrey Will
Chairman Tarver and Representa-
tives Hare (now chairman and
Engle of the subcommittee. In the
croSS-eXamination the legality" of
certain expenditures was questioned.
Chairman Tarver said: THE au-
thority does not mean that funds
provided for administrative expenses
can be used for going into any other
field than the expressly authorized
purpose" The controller generals
investigation started with that point
as its basis.
Members of the Appropriation
Committee and congressional leaders
believe other reports will be made by
the controller general. They direct
that active and persistent effort to
safeguard appropriations is extreme
ly valuable now with unlimited funds
needed for national defense and
broadened welfare program contem-
plated by the President. They have
great confidence in Mr.. Warren, who
formerly was strict accountant of
housekeeping funds of the House as
chairman of the Committee on Ac-
counts, and who, as an administra-
ton leader in putting through the
Presidents reorganization legisla-
ton, was particularly careful to see

for the Junior Ten Thousand clubs

climaxing events of each club year.
Huge paper elephants, zebras, gi-
raffes, horses, clowns and other cir
Gus figures, bright colored balloons,
q revolving merry -go-round music
box playing tinkling circus tunes,
created a colorful setting. The cir
Gus atmosphere was heightened by
the table decorations, miniature
merry -go-rounds being used for
. centerpieces with places marked by
animal crackers and paper bags
filled with peanuts. Each guest was
given an all-day sucker as she ar
rived, and during the dinner hour,
pink lemonade was served, the des-
ert, ice cream cones, repeating the
