Died. John Raymond McCarl, 60, first U. S. Comptroller General (1921-36); of a heart attack; in his Washington law office. Softspoken, florid Comptroller McCarl took his job very seriously.

Sample McCarlism: refusal to pay $1.50 for a Government employe's lunch because "there is nowhere in Virginia where one can buy a lunch worth $1.50."
