But remember that in conflicts of this sort, the Supreme Court is the high- est authority. The only way change it is by an act of Congress.” Norris' Former Aide. McCarl was secretary to Senator Norris from 1914 until 1921, when he became controller general. “Mr. McCarl even passes on the Attorney General,” Norris pointed out. Senator Arthur Vandenberg, Re- publican, of Michigan, joined in a vigorous defense of the controller gen- | eral, saying: | 1egal phase of the question, but I do know something about the ethical, and I am behind McCarl in this mat- ter 100 per cent. during the last two years has been tem of checks and balances, and it's a question of how much longer we | are going to allow it to go on. | Principle Seen at Stake. “The integrity of our budget law |is about the only anchor we've got { left, and we must cling to it. In my opinion, Congress is going to. “If you can spurn the opinion of the controller general in a ruling of this sort, you can go much farther and destroy the integrity and effect- iveness of his office. | “It is not the length of the step that has been taken by this one act, but the direction of the step that magnifies it beyond its ordinary im- portance. I cannot condone it and I cannot conceive of Congress per- mitting it to go unchallenged.” ‘The administration’s present brush | with the controller general comes at , 8 time when many Senators of both parties are exercised over the ab- sence in the $4,880,000,000 works-re- lief bill of a more definite statement of the purposes for which the money is to be used.

A resolution adopted by the Nevada Legislature, declaring for the Presi- | dent’s work-relief program and prais- | ing Senator Pittman, who opposed the McCarran amendment, has been ir- serted in the Congressional Record at Pittman’s request. McCarran placed in the record his reply to the resolu- tion, defending his position. An enor- mous amount cf pressure is being ex- erted by administration forces, Mc- Carran insisted in ar. interview, to de- feat the prevailing-wage amendment. The McCarran amendment r.as teen regarded s the chief stumbling biock to passage of the work-relief bill in the form desired by the administra- tion. Once that obstacle has been | overcome, the administration forces hope they will be able to keep control of the measure. There are contests coming, however, over other amend- | ments which will be offered, and the view was expressed last night that it might be another 10 days before the bill finally is passed by the Senate. ‘The amendment proposing to “‘break down” the $4,800,000,000 appropriation for work relief projects, agreed to by the administration as a concession to some opponents of the bill, will come in for debate, particularly that <lause which allows the Fresident to transfer 20 per cent of the money to any par- | ticular group of projects he may de- sire. This 20 per cent amounts to $800,000,000.

Reports published abroad that Athens had been bombarded by the rebel fleet and that the Tsaldaris gov- ernment had resigned were unfounded.
