out "or fence me out," occupied
his office until the usual quit

The army created its own
working space, it was explained
because there were no vacant
offices and those tn charge did

who had been using the auditor

army moved in the newsmen
roamed the hallways.
Although Ward vice presi

assistant attorney general who
came here in connection with
legal phases of the seizure, said
before leaving for Washington
that "army accountants now
have access to the books,
