In a series of articles The Star is presenting the details of gov- ernment reorganization devel- oped by the Institute for Gov- ernment Research. Today's ar- ticle deals with the proposed office of controller and auditor general. The final article on territories and dependencies will be discussed tomorrow. BY WILL P. KENNRDY. One of the essential reforms in the present administrative organization of the nationa] government, recommend- ed by the Instityte for Government ! Research to the joint congressional ! committee on reorganization headed | by a personal representative of Presi- dent Harding is the creation of an, independent office of controller and| auditor general. It is intended that] this new office shall take over the duties now performed by the control- ler of the Treasury. the six offices of | auditors for the departments, and the | di n of bookkeeping and warrants, all of which are now subordinate units of the Treasury Department. In giving the arguments for such af radical change the institute empha- sizes the distinction between functions of financial administration and finan- cial control. It then analizes the! problem of financial control. lays stress on the necessity for independent offices of controller and auditor gen eral, wholl§ independent of the ad: ministrative services, which shall re port fully to Congress. The defects of the existing system of financial control are also pointed out. Fortify- img this position the institute quotes from the annual report of Controller Tracewell in 1911. and indorsed by the present controller, Judge W. W. War. wick. in testifying before the select! committee on the budget. In discussing the need for consol- idation of the offices of controller of the Treasury and auditors for the de- partment, the following existing de- fects are cited: (1) the existence of six co-ordinate auditors instead of a sin- gle division of audits presided over by a single officer assisted by deputy auditora; (2) the failure to establish upon a proper basis the relationship that should exist between the auditors and the controller =s the head of the accounting service, and (3) the inade- quate provision made for handling the accounting and reporting work of the government. The combination of the six audit of- fices_into one was recommended by the President’s commission on econ omy and efficiency. and it received the | approval of the President. The ad- vantages of combining under one of- ficer all the auditing forces are sum- marized as follows: - (1) The use of the combined force of employes on the work that most needs attention, which cannot now be accomplishe das the employes are in six different burcaus, under six di tinct and co-ordinate jurisdictions. (2) The bringing together of the work of handling the personnel, the | handling of supplies. the adjustment of transportation accounts, the legal work, messenger work, etc. 3) establishment of satisfac- so that em- ler opportunity | in knowledge and consequent promotion. (4) The e of eac! SPECIAL NOT: employe on the ! controller general to give €ONTROLLER-AUDITOR GENERAL ..

(5) The extension of the use of 1abor saving and other mechanical de- vices and improving the methods of handling and filing vouchers. (6) Unifoymity of procedure in the settlement of accounts and the state- ment of balances, and uniformity of method in the doing of all work of the same kind. Controller's Proposals. The organization of the proposed of- fice of controller and auditor generat suggested bi the controller of the Treasury in his annual report of 1920 is quoted. Briefly, it vrovides: (1) a 1legal department, (2) an auditing de- partment, (3) a bookkeeping depart- ment and (4) an fnspection depart- ment. This position of the controller was _indorsed by Secretary Carter Glass in his annual report. The third of the changes in the handling of the accounting operations of the government, im addition to that of setting up an independent office of, controller and auditor general, men- tioned as essential in pltting this im- portant branch of public administra. tion upon a proper basis. is that of making this office responsible for keeping the general accounts of the government and of rendering the re- ports showing the financial condition and operations of the government. Emphasis is laid upon the duty de- fined in the budget measure of the informa- ion to Congress and aid it in taking those steps that will be necessary to make the administration of the finan. cial affairs of the government more efficient. - Under this new system, Congress will automatically get much of the data it has sought through investi- gating committees. When special in- formation is desired it can be readily furnished at a‘minimum expense and trouble by the controller general's of- fice. The new committee on appro- priations will always have at its right hand an officer possessed of full knowledge of governmental conditions and practices, and independent of all party, administraftve or congressional pressure, to aid it in performing its important duty of passing upon the estimates of expenditure needs as con- tained in the President's budget. 4,000 ON EXCURSION. Students, Faculty and Alumni of Business High on Outing. More than 4,000 students, members of the faculty and alumni of Business High School, attended the annual excursion to Marshall Hall yesterday of the alumni association of the institution. Three trips to the resort were made by the steamer Charles Macalester, while the steamer St. Johns carried a large crowd on a moonlight trip to Indian Head and return. One of the features of the outing was various athletic contests. They included a tug-of-war between members of the two cadet companies of the school, a bowling contest between tne senior class nd the alumni, a potato race and | numergus foot races. The committee which had charge of the outing was composed of Henry A. Schweinhaut, James C. Wilkes and Le Roy Finagin. — DETAILED TO SHIP DUTY. Lieut. Commander Henry F. D.

The unexpected happened. It was the President’s first visit to Keith’s. As he was about to leave the theater Jane and Katherine Lee pushed through the crowd that had formed. The President espied them,’ walked over, held out his hand, said he recognized them and wanted to thank them for the pleasure their performance had given him. That was all, but they say it will never cease to be foremost in their memory. ASSIGNED TO CRUISER. Capt. Henry H.

The voice of Washington's childhood swelled into & mighty chorus of song on the Ellipse yesterday afternoon. which brought from President Har-| ding, guest of honor. words praising it as the most wonderful and beautiful music of his life.

The President. with Mrs. Harding by his side, descended from his seat and walked about a lower platform aiding in the arrangement of myriads of blossoms which were brought from every classroom in the District schooi system as a token of love and esteem of the children of Washingto ‘When the President was walking about with Mrs. Harding, speaking for her ears alone, he was overheard to say to her: “Florence, this is won- derful!

One hour later the presidential party made & tour of the outer circle and entered the wheel from the mnortherninost spoke.

President Harding replied, saving: have heard music in man varied forms. I have heard the croon of the mother to her child in the cradle. in opera and the song of the wind a; it rushes through the great pines of the forests. But I have aever before heard such sparkling music as this that the sparkling school youth of the capital have given." “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” was sung with such enthuslasm that requests for an encore were made, but the limited time prevented a repetition. Other songs on the program included “Alma Mater.” by students of Howard University; “Washington,” “O Colum- bia, the Gem of the Ocean” and “America.” It war during the singink of these songs that the floral offerings from the classrooms were brought up to the platform by children from the variou schools, And the flowers came in such masses that the President left hi platform to aid in placing them about the stand. Following the exercises the Iyre was brought to the White House, where Mrs. Harding personaily thanked those who bore the tribute.
