THE revelations made by President
Dwight D. Eisenhower in his recent
speech before the United Nations General
Assembly are aWe-nspiring. The President
announced the United States had atom
bombs which are twenty-five times as
powerful as the bombs used on Hiroshima
and Nagasaki.
Those bombs had an explosive power
equivalent to 1000 ten-ton block-busterS
used by the British in World War | |. The
bombs Eisenhower is speaking Of, therefore,
have an explosive power Of 10000 ten-ton
bIock-busters.
In addition to revealing these gains IN
the atomic sphere, Eisenhower limited very
strongly that the United States possesses
hydrogen bombs This is no great surprise,
since this has been suspected by many and
limited BY military writer's tol- some months.
The surprising remark made by the
President, concerning the hydrogen bomb,
is that it has an explosive power which
dwarfs that of the atomic bomb, and goes
almost beyond the imagination.
realization of terrible destruction

Chess Player Here
Has Opponent In
Moscow Idaho

When Osborne F. Downes, 1885
Galewood ave-, comes into Collin
wood Branch Library, there is no
predicting what interesting bit of
information he may want to track
down, for his interests are many
and varied, ranging through mathe-
matics, astronomy, natural history,
poetry, and literature to chess.
His interest in chess goes back
55 years to his college days, when
he played with fraternity brothers.
During the war, a fellow Graphite
Bronze employee inserted an item
in the company paper saying that
Mr.. Downes claimed to be the or
ganization's champion chess player.
Challengers came to the fore; and
the result was a chess team with
Mr.. Downes playing No. l board.
With Mr.. Fielding of this COM
munity as his opponent, he set an
all-time record by playing two
games in 18 minutes during COM
petition with the New York Central
team at the East End YMCA. He
also played on the Clark Controller
team; and was back on the Graphite
Bronze team as an outside" men,
Der when it won the Industrial
League East Side championship in
1945.
Although -the-board play
is more interesting, in recent years
Mr.. Downes joined a Sioux Falls,
Idaho correspondence chess organi-
zation, and has played with men,
bers in Moscow, Idaho; New York
City; and New Orleans. Two games
are played with each opponent; and
usually the correspondents reply
within so hours. One game has
been going on in this way since
January.
Incidentally, in the course of
their correspondence, Mr.. Downes
and his New Orleans opponent have
discovered that while discussing
many subjects of mutual interest,
they seem to have started another
game, that of identifying quota
tions. The library's many books of
quotations have helped pin down
elusive illusions.

available at Collinwood Branch Lii

This and That from Washington
BY cooe,es.msn France. p. Bolton

Former Comptroller General
Lindsay c. Warren, who retired this
spring, nodded the Office into an
efficient and hard-hitting agency.
During his term, the Office recap
tured nearly q billion dollars of
funds illegally or improperly paid
out. Even more is being saved by
our constant effort in cooperation
with the executive agencies toward
modern and efficient fiscal opera
tionS throughout the Government,
and by the ferreting out Of waste
and extravaganza. Today the GAO
is performing a bigger task but
more efficiently and at less cost. We
have voluntarily cut our budgets
and reduced the number of en-
ployees from 14,904 in 1916 to $500
today.
There is new will and determi-
nation in Washington to eliminate
chronic duplication of effort and
activities and to cut expenditures
to the bone. This spirit stems from
the President down throughout the
Government, as well as from the
halls of Congress. This Is gratifying
because our economic system, if not
our form of Government, depends
upon the utmost effort of all to
prevent the unnecessary sapping of
the billions which the Congress pro-
videS for our national security and
survival in this critical period. The
Office is proud of its record in this
field.
Just recently we audited the OBJ
legation records of the Department
of Defense at the request of the
House Committee on Appropria-
tions. Taking into account what we
found, the Department revised its
figure for unobligated funds upward
by approximately 2.7 billion dollars.
Then the Committee adjusted
downward the 1855 appropriation.
Congress just required the Fed
eral Housing Administration to re-
pay the Governments $65,000, 900
investment in insurance funds of
the agency as recommended in our
audit reports. A study by repre-
sentativeS of the Fiscal Service OF
the Treasury and the GAO led to
an annual saving of IL million dol
lars in the handling OF savings
bonds and the destruction of worm
out currency. An investigation re-
vealed an Air Force is million dol
lar purchase of fencing, most OF
which was not needed.
These examples show how the Of
fee serves you as taxpayers and
how it carries out it's important
role in our constitutional system Of
fiscal checks and balances.

Congressman Frances P. Bottoms
invitation to explain in this guest
column the work of the General
Accounting Office was a welcome
one indeed. This is especially true
since we are one of the few gov
ernment agencies without press
agent. Doing our duty to enforce
the will of Congress as to eXpendl-
ture of the taxpayers money has
gained us a name as the strong
right arm" of Congress.
The Office was established in 1921
as an independent, non-political
agency in the legislative branch to
check on the financial transactions
of the Government. It audlts and
settles the accounts and claims OF
the Government and prescribes ba-
sic government accounting proceed
ureS. It advises and assists the Con-
gress, departments and agencies on
problems relating to public funds
and investigates all aspects OF the
receipt, disbursement and appllca-
ton of Government funds. Every
day Members of Congress and COM
mittees ask for assistance on the
complex fiscal phases of legislation
which they must consider in per-
forming their legislative duties. In
veStigations and special audits are
made for them, at their request or
under our basic authority.
The Comptroller General OF the
United States heads GAO. He Is
appointed to the 15-year position by
the President subject to approval
by the Senate. He cannot be reap
pointed and may not be removed
except by Congress.
