tury has seen the time of bullet
proof vests" which really work.
Going back in history, to a time
before there were guns, we find
knights in armor riding about.
Their armor was strong enough TO
ward off most thrusts Of spears, and
it also saved them from many
arrows. An arrow shot from a cross
bow, at close range, was likely to
bring a knight down, but arrows
from a distance seldom cut through
the metal.
Then came the days of gunpow-
der. The first guns were poor affairs,
but in time muskets were made with
enough power to pierce the best
armor of the knights. That helped
to end the wearing of armor.
In the present century, the bullet
proof vest has proved useful. A
high-powered Army rifle cam send
a bullet through such a vest, but
the vest has saved many men from
injury by revolver bullets.

LITTLE LEAGUERS DROP
10 TOURNEY VERDICT

Port Clinton Little League All
Stars, who had held the strong
Dearborn, Michigan, visitors to a
5-5 tie Saturday night, lost 9
heartbreaker to the Elyria All
Stars, ! to 0, in the opening roucd
of the district tournament in Ely
ria Tuesday evening.
Eighteen carloads of Port Clin-
ton baseball fans accompanied the
ycfrthful team to the Elyria Re-
creation Board Field, and the
stands were packed with bi-parti-
san spectators. Manager Joe LII
kac, Coach Wayne Cedoz and
league officials were introduced
before the game, as were indivi-
dual players.
Only a tough break in the first
inning prevented the game from
going into extra innings, as The
teams were so evenly matched
that Lady Luck had TO decide the
outcome.
Pitchers John Papcun, Port Clin-
ton, and Bill Bruce, Elyria, were
SC stingy with their base hits that
each team had only two hits. Both
teams also were charged with
three errors.
Port Clinton's future Ted Will
liamses and Joe Gordans get of
to a rugged start when hurlel
Johnny Papcun hit the first player
to face him, Jim Butler, after
having two strikes on the batter.
Butler was not hurt, and was
forced out on the next play.
Elyria scored the only run OF
the game in the first inning when
Bob Huffman, catcher, was safe
on a fielder's choice. He thefted
second base, took third on an er-
ror and scored on a wild pitch
Papcun settled down and had the
Ely1.ians "eating out of his hand"
thereafter.
Strikeouts were numerous
throughout the game with Papcun
forcing the opponents to hit just
where he wanted. In the sixth
inning, he retired the side when
all three opponents went out,

BY Froncis P. DouqIos

Lindsay Carter Warren, Con-
troller General of the United
States. might be most conveniently
described as a rock.
To his admirers he is a rock
helping make firm the founda-
tions of Government.
To his critics-and they include
hackers of the Hoover Commits
sion's recommendations for Gov
ernment reorganization-Mr. War
ren is a rock in the path of prog
reSS.
From this it may be inferred
correctly that there is nothing
colorless about Mr.. Warren. When
he moves or speaks he does so
with emphasis.
He has a passionate conviction
that the agency he heads, the
General Accounting Office, is one
of the cornerstones of the Govern
ment.
THE General Accounting Office
is the last remaining bulwark in
the Government for the protection
of the taxpayers against the
illegal and erroneous expenditure
of the public substance. he said
in an interview recently.
He said also that legislative
control of public funds is the basis
of the Governments fiscal policy
Once Congress surrenders this
control, exercised through the
GAO, an agency of the legislative
branch, it will never. and ! re-
peat. never, get it back"
Position Explained
BY surrendering control he
meant turning it over to the exec
utive branch of the Government
He holds that Is not even a
debatable subject. His reaction to
such a suggestion is the reaction
of a man-of-war captain in the
day of sails who sees an enemy
vessel closing on him and shouts.
Stand by to repel boarders."
The leader of those who cur
rently would board Mr.. Warren's S
ship is former President Herbert
Hoover. One of the Hoover Com
missions reports recommended
that an accountant general be set
UP in the Treasury. He would
have authority to prescribe ac-
counting systems for the executive

recommendations are found again
in the Hoover Commissions re-
ports.
One of the Brownlow commit
tees recommendations was to
transfer to the Treasury this mat
ter OF prescribing accounting. 1t
was only one of many, but 1t
loomed large TO members of Con-
gress, jealous of the powers OF
their agency.
An attempt to enact a reorgan-
ization bill in 1888 failed by eigh.
votes and tore the Democratic

the use Of United Nations pro-
cesses in settlement of this issue.
Nor can the American Govern
ment do great deal directly to
help Pakistan in its trade war
with India which grew out of
India's devaluation of its currency
last fall, and Pakistan's failure to
do so.
India felt itself obliged, for rea-
sons of foreign trade expansion
and its close tie to Britain's
economy, to devalue the rupee.
Pakistan. under no such necessity,
felt itself free to keep it's rupee
at 30 cents to the dollar. Pakis-
tan's finances are in excellent
condition, considering all its po-
litical trouble and the vast capital
investment it has had to make in
building a government.
The result of the divergent
courses of India and Pakistan on
devaluation was a sudden sharp
increase in the price India had to
pay for Paikstan's jute and wheat.
Thus confronted with greatly
higher prices, the New Delhi
government ceased buying these
two chief exports of Pakistan,
No Financial Emergency
The log-jam is being broken
bit in a barter agreement oy
which India will get some jute and
wheat in exchange for equivalent
amounts of her own products.
! Besides the trade war there are
other disputes which lie strictly
between India and Pakistan
These are the question of water
rights on rivers which rise in
Indian territory but which are
vital to the irrigation of Pakistans
land; Pakistan's still unsettled
claims against the assets of the
Reserve Bank of India, which were
! to be divided on partition, ano
trade balance in New Delhi, ano
the question of compensation fol
the property of refugees who have
moved between India and
Pakistan.
Although the Karachi govern
ment's principal disputes are with
New Delhi. it is having it's troubles
too, with Afghanistan, which
claims territory occupied by PAX
istan along the border of the
northwest frontier.
In all these political disputes
with Pakistan's neighbors the
United States is unable to exert
any direct pressure, except for
the use of peaceful processes foi
their settlement. There is. how
ever. a more fruitful field for
American effort in assistance to
Pakistan's domestic economy.
This does not mean direct
economic aid similar to the
Marshall Plan, for although
Pakistan has a dollar problem,

agencies, subject to the approval
of the Controller General.
This, according to Mr.. Warren
would mean that Congress would
be surrendering its control. His
position is this:
The act which set up the GAO
in 1921 made the Controller Gen.
eral responsible for prescribing
systems of administrative ac-
counting. But there was nothing
in that law which required the
executive agencies to use the ac-
counting systems prescribed. Fur
thermore, the Budget Bureau and
the Treasury have an interest in
this and their cooperation is
necessary.
Hoover Disagrees
Therefore, If modern account
ing systems are to be set up in the
executive agencies it must be done
as a cooperative project.
Mr.. Warren talked it over with
Secretary Of the Treasury Snyder
and the budget director, then
James E. Webb. There resulted
in December. 1947, what is known
as the Joint Accounting Improve
ment Program, now being carried
on.
1--WE are getting 100 per cent
cooperation from the agencies
of Government where we never
had it before" Mr.. Warren said.
There is much to do, and it takes
time to do it. But the program is
a success. And you can't argue
against success"
Mr.. Hoover is not in agreement.
He testified recently before the
Senate Expenditures Committee in
support of a bill Is. 2054) to carry
out the Hoover Commissions ac-
counting recommendation. He
said he considers it a structural
weakness of Government that
there is'no enforcement agency in
Government to impose any system
of accounting that may be agreed
upon"
If there is going to be an en-
forcement agency it should be in
the executive branch, he said. add
ing: Il have always felt that the
act of 1921 in some particulars.
especially in methods of account
ing, was an absolute invasion of
the executive arm by Congress. /"
MIR. Warren followed Mr..
Hoover as Q witness before the
