Currency Head Announces His Decisions Final Comptroller McCarl Informs President He Regards His Rulings Appealable Only to Congress. Washington, June 23.—Comptroller General McCarl, whose authority in the disbursement of public funds has been challenged several times by cabinet members and other officials, has informed President Harding that he regards his decisions as final, and appealable only to congress. He is willing to "consider" the views of in terested officials at all times, but the opinion of none of them, he holds, is controlling on his office. The comptroller general's "declara tion of jurisdiction” came to light in publication of monthly rulings by the general accountng office. The state ment bore directly on an opinion handed down in May by the attorney general's office, construing portions of the federal employes compensa tion act contrary to a decisiotj by the comptroller general. Mr. McCarl in dieated he would decline to approve disbursement vouchers from the com pensation commission, despite the ruling of the Justice department, un less the payments were in accordance with the comptroller general's view of the law. Opinions Differ. Earlier in the day, Mrs. Bessie P. Brueggeman, chairman of the com mission, had announced that it would "pay cases dealing with occupational diseases as formerly/’ Mr. McCarl had held that such payments were to be made only in cases where injuries are detertninal in point of time while Department of Justice had agreed with the commissioner that such a re striction was unnecessary. The opin ion of the attorney general's office was transmitted to Mr. McCarl late in May and he wrote the president that to follow such a ruling “would result in the unauthorized expendi ture of public funds on unlawful awards.” Mr. McCarl continued that he could regard the opinion as sanction Ing payment by the commission, since that meant for the commission to dis regard the decision of the comptroller general. Duty Placed on Office. The soundness of the decision need not he discussed," the letter con tinued. "But it seems proper to suggest the absence of any mention therein of the basic laws which con trol branches of the government in the use of public funds and places the duty upon this office to see that the laws with respect thereto are duly observed. "Broad discretion Is vested in the employes compensation commission by the act creating it, and as to the exercise of this discretion this office is not concerned, but there is no power given the commission -to dis regard the provisions of the law in granting awards or making payments of public funds.” Forest Fires Extinguished.

It IS not remarkable that so many Marmons have tgon«. 100,000 miles—four times around the earth. The remark able part of it is that such mileages have been accom plished with so little trouble and expense—and that these cars are still so fresh today. In fact, the maximum life of a Marmon has never been determined. “-my Marmon” rfT “My Marmon has gone more than 165,000 miles. During the war it was in almost every state east of the Mis sissippi, used in mining explorations. It was used often for weeks at a time, driven day and night by three different engineers. The engine was never cooled off. Outside of tire trouble and putting in oil and gas, the hood was never lifted nor an adjustment made.” —J. Goebel, 67 Cortlandt St., New York City. tfT “I have driven my Marmon con stantly since 1 bought it in Novem ber, 1916, and it has traveled consider ably in excess of 100,000 miles. I am so satisfied with it that I do not even wish to hurry to exchange it for a new Mar mon.”—Edward A. Woods, Erick Bldg., Pittsburgh, Pa. “I still drive my Marmon roadster, which is now seven years old, and I have run it to date 142,756 miles. Tha majority of this mileage has been over very rough roads. 1 have had my engine overhauled only twice, and today my car is in perfect running order; in fact, it seems to get better each year.”—F. Stan ley Millicbamp, Wapato, Wash. “1 have covered about 100,000 miles, and have yet to find any part of the Marmon car unsatisfactory." —L. A. O Beirne, 1416 Fulton St., Brooklyn, N.Y. #T ‘‘My Marmon, purchased in 1916, ^ has gone approximately 140,000 miles, and is running today as well as it did the first year." —W. T.
