M Carl Chief of Government General Accounting Office is Account able He Holds, Only to Congress By HARRY B. HUNT WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.—-J. R. McCarl, comptroller general of the United States, is a brav man. For tX past IS mon'.l McCarl has been demonstrating his cour age by telling cabinet members and departmental bureau chiefs where tliey “get off” in matters of gov ernment expenditure. McCarl even has overridden opinions < f the De partmerit of Justice in his ruling's as to the illegality of ceitain dis bursements, and on one occasion took direct issue with no less - an official than the president of the United States, who was basing hi views on a report by an assistant attorney general. Perhaps McCarl’s bravery is it part due to the fact that, in his job as chief of the general accounting office, which audits the books of Uncle Sam’s establishment, he is accountable only io Congre.-s, In his construction of the L.w r ward ing appropriations and expenditures he maintain? neither presi dent nor attorney general can over rule him. They can advise, but they can’t boss, he says. He was chosen by Congress to serve a 15-year term which has about years yet to run. So he is not susceptible to normal politi cal pressure, such as might be Mrs. Alice Cobb at her home on Forsyth street, arriving by automo : bil e and visiting relatives in Wash ington, Ga., and Atlanta en route to Americus, Elmer Bradley has returned to Tampa, Fla., after a visit of a few days to relatives and friends here. T. E. Bradley, of Huntington, left Thursday for Tampa, Fla., where he will make his home in future. Little Miss Mary E. McCleskey and Lucius McCleskey have return ed from Jacksonville, Fla., where they spent several weeks del’ght fully with their aunt, Mrs. Roy Bell. Miss Mabel Ellis, Miss Anne El lis and George Ellis arrived today from Macon with friends to bi he week-end guests of their mother, Mrs. G. R. Ellis, at their home on Taylor street. Mr. and Mrs. L. N. Camp and children, Leonard, Jr., and Sara Jane, are visiting Mrs. Camp’s sis ter, Mrs. L. A. Harrell, for a few days. Mrs. Linnie H. Brown has re turned from Doerun, where she was the guest of Ijer daughter, Airs. Lawrence McF’haul. ' She Shuns Bob ■r ■ “ ■ x . -3'wj- .■?? t fek .. a I i' % i . • * . » ’ ■> «webs # a .. Vera Simpson, of Austin, Tex., who will be known as ‘Miss Texas, at the Atlantic City Beauty Page ant, will be a “different” type to worry the judges. She believes her flowing tresses will defeat th c bobbed locks of her sister beauties. brought to bear even oil a congress ional appointee who was named only for the usual two or four year’s. McCarl’s latest demonstration of hardihood, however is oir which he may find more difficult to handle chan a mere affair with acabiner. member. lie has served notice that mar ried women in Uncle Sam’s employ cannot gi t their pay unless they receipt the payroll under the name they supposedly acquired whe.i they married. McCarl holds that the husband's name is the “legal name” of every married woman. There Is no fr. < - dom of choice by which the bride j may legally retain her maiden nam after mariragc, he formally de clares.. As a result, McCarl has w T on the enmity of the Lucy Stone League| the membership of which- is made 1 up of married women who choose to retain their maiden names. Presi dent of the league is Ruth Hale of | New York, who, if she folloyed 1 McCarl’s dictum, would ;ign herself i as “Mrs. Heywood Broun.” “McCarl’s statement is not true,” Miss Hale, or Mrs. Broun, declares, flatly. “If he would look into the 1 matter, he would find there are' abundant decisions that the name' a woman chooses to use is her legal 1 name and that her baptismal name is accepted on contracts. Mr. Ale- i Carl went i ff half-cocked. So far as Uncle Sam's disbursing’ officers are concerned, Howc-at, McCarl’s verdict will stand. If the Lucy Stone League can indue-. : Congress to tel! Mr, McCarl that he’ is wrong, then and not till then will they accept the signature of the 1 maiden name as receipt for a mat -' tied woman employe’s biweekly pay! check For they know to do otherwise' would be to invite McCarl to d's-i approve the payment and that! they’d have to refund the amount. \ One intriguing thought intruder in this case, beyond the views set forth by McCarl and the Lucy Stone League. The case on which tne ruling! came-was that of a nurse at St. | Elizabeth’s hospital. This is the j institution presided over by Dr. W. 1 A. White, who testified to th • I “mental illness” evidenced by Leo-| pold and Loeb, the Chicago boy murderers, by their complexes, psy ■ j choses and phantasies. ' ALght it not be jhat the insist-1 ence of this nurse on using her! maiden name w; , a complex? Didn't* the doctor overlook al chance right at home to apply his; expert knowledge of queer mental I quirks?
