House Clerk Seeks to Apply
Stationery Profits on Shortoe

House Clerk Ralph Roberts
said today he plans to ask the
General Accounting Office foI
permission to apply any profits
from the House stationery room
to a reported $4,000 operating
loss, if an actual shortage exists.
A GAO audit for the years 1947
and 1948 reported this sum miss
ing in the books of the stationery
room. which sells stationery and
other items along the lines of an
Army post exchange.
The GAO has sent notice of
settlement" for $17,924 against the
estate of the late John Andrews,
former clerk of the House, and
notified Mr.. Roberts he might be
liable for the entire amount of
$18,840 unless the claim is other
wise settled.
Attorney William J. Byrne,
executor of the Andrews estate
of some $4,000. denied liability.
He said the estate was insufficient
to meet such a claim and that
the GAO may actually have un-
covered a bookkeeping error. He
suggested an independent audit.
Mr.. Roberts said that by raising
prices the stationery room had
shown a profit for 1949 of about
$4,000 and estimated the 1850
profit at twice that amount. If
GAO declines to allow these
profits to be used against any
actual shortage, some Capitol OBJ
servers said Congress might ap-
from its contingent fund
to cover it.
officials said nothing in the
GAO report indicated theft or
other criminality.
Mr.. Roberts took over from Mr..
Andrews January 3. 1949.
Former Speaker Joseph w. Mar
tin, jr., of Massachusetts, said:
When I became Speaker jan
Evening star., 1951-01-13

uary 3, 1947, I ordered an audit
of all departments where money
was handled. Mr. Andrews ordered
one in his department and found
deficit of long standing. At
one time 1t was over $4,000 ana
it was represented that the men
in charge of the stationery room
were steadily reducing it through
the profits that were made.
Accordingly. these men, who
were represented as being eff
cient, were continued from the
previous Democratic administra-
ton. Mr.. Andrews actually un-
covered the loss by ordering the
examination made. I make this
statement in justice to a man
who is dead and whose name, in
all justice, must be cleared"
In the interim, the settling of
Mr.. Andrews estate has been de-
layed by the GAO move. Mr..
Byrne, the estate attorney, said
the GAO report is merely a COM
putation by that Office, which in
dicates perhaps a discrepancy
may or may not exist.
The late clerk OF the House
was bonded for $4,000, and it is
understood the present clerk is
bonded for an equal amount.
Neither Mr.. Roberts, the pres
ent clerk. nor Mr.. Andrews per-
sonally should be stigmatized, ,
Attorney Byrne pointed out. This
was merely an Office over which
they have supervision. If anybody
is responble or any true discrep-
ancy exists, it occurred in that
stationery room"
Mr.. Byrne pointed out the audit
was not begun until about a
month after Mr.. Andrews left Of
flee at the end of 1913. The delay
was caused by the press of bust
ness in the changeover of admin
istrations.

DC. Recreation Board
Outlines Position on
New Golf Contract

The District Recreation Board
today was drafting a letter to the
Interior Department, outlining its
position on the new contract which
the department is negotiating with
S. G. Leoff1er for operation of the
city's public golf courses.
This was one concrete result of
another conference held yesterday
between the Interior and Recrea-
ton Board officials on the con-
tract. Another was that Mr.
Leoffler apparently is going to
have no more talks with the Rec
reation Board about his business
The new contract being nego-
tiated would give Mr.. Leoff1er FIVE
year control of the public links,
which he has run for the Interior
Department for the past 26 years
Clause Allows Shift.
It would have a clause to allow
the Recreation Board to take over
operation next January /, if it
gets an appropriation of $250,000
from Congress before November /.
Otherwise, Mr.. Leoff1er would keep
the links for the full five years.
The Recreation Board, which
has been trying to take over oper-
ational control of the golf courses
since it was established in 1912,
wants the right to take over the
first of any year it can raise the
money to buy out Mr.. Leoff1er
It's part in the negotiations now
is that the Interior agreed pre-
viously to consult the board on
changes in the golf course situa-
ton, but not necessarily to abide
by suggestions.
Harry S. Wender, board chair
man, said Mr.. Leoffler told the
group yesterday his future deal
ings would be only with the In
terror Department.
Must Act This Year.
Mr.. Leoff1er also said, according
to Mr.. Wender, that he would not
agree to let the Recreation Board
take over any time it is ready
but was willing to give the board
it's chance this year only If il
cannot get the appropriation, Mr.
Leoff1er wants to keep control fo1
the additional four years.
Mr.. Wender said the interior
officials suggested the Recreation
Board draft a letter outlining its
position on the proposed contract
Mr.. Wender said the letter will be
sent to the Interior Department
the first of next week.
Also being considered is a TO-
cent increase in fees on four OF
the five links. Mr.. Wender said
his position on that is that NO
increase should be granted until
Interior Department auditors have
checked last years returns to de-
termine whether an increase is
justified.

Watershed PLANNING
Control Is Sought by
Interstate Agency
By james BirchfieId

The Interstate Commission on
the Potomac River Basin will seek
to become the overall planning
agency for the Potomac water
shed.
At the closing session yester-
day Of the commissions winter
meeting at Alexandria, the or
ganization unanimously voted to
ask for broadened powers to en-
able it to plan the future develop
ment of the basin.
The commissions action fol-
lowed a review of the President S
water resources policy commits
sion report. recommending that
commissions be established to
guide the development of the Ma
tion's major river basins.
First Action on Reports.
The Potomac commissions ac-
ton yesterday is thought to be
the first action by any basin
planning group on the Presidents
commissions reports.
j. Harold Sothoron, a former
chairman Of the Potomac COM
mission, pointed out that the
commissions set-up placed it in
a position to become a planning
agency for the entire basin.
Mr.. Sothoron, who seven years
ago pointed out the need of the
commission to seek broader pow
ers in planning the development
of the basis, said that the COM
mission now constitutes an Or
ganization for overall planning.
He said the commission's volun-
tary committees now include the
representatives of the major Fed
eral and State agencies. They al
ready are considering overall de-
velopment in the basin.
Committee Plans Details.
Under the commissions action,
a committee headed by Gard Knox
of Pennsylvania will work out the
details of new organization. The
commission probably will have to
seek authorization from Congress
to include in its scope the broad
ened powers.
During Mr.. Sothoron's chair
manShip, the commission went on
record as favoring the interstate
compact method of basin develop
ment. a.
Mr.. Sothorori said yesterday
that more than a year ago the
commission had set to work on a
plan of broadened activities.
He said the realization of the
commissions position in basin de-
velopment antedated by more than
year the Presidents water re-
sources policy commission.
1T is interesting" Mr.. Sothoron
said, that these two agencies,
working separately, should arrive
at the same conclusions concern
ing the development of river
basins"
Recommendations Made.
The Presidents commission rec
commended an overall law to CO.
ordinate river development on a
basin-wide program, and further
recommend the establishment in
each of the basins of a commits
sion charged with the respon-
sibility of developing its partic-
ular basin.
The commission also set its
spring meeting for May "a and Is
at Frederick, Md. This meeting
will be given over to the land COM
mittee, which is planning a
demonstration of small watershed
development.
In planning the meeting, the
land committee will work with
the Mohocacy River development
council. 1t is expected that the
demonstration will center around
programs planned for the Lin
guanore and Pipe creek water
shed.

Some of the tougher cuts of beef,

To prepare meat for the skeWers,
