To scrap campaign. It has been many years since these veteran fire engines clanged down the street manned by doughty firefighters, but they are now getting into action in a fight far exceeding anything in their previous long career. Contributed to a salvage campaign by the City Commission of Griffin, Georgia, they will become modern war materials. One of the engines was originally obtained in 1867, another in 1880, and the third in 1913

Bell may succeed McCarl. Acting Director of the Budget, Daniel W. Bell, is considered a possible successor to J.R. McCarl as Comptroller General. McCarl's 14 year term expires next June. Bell is understood to have refused to take the appointment as permanent director of the Bureau of the Budget because it would cost him his Civil Service status, which he has cherished for 15 years. But the term of 14 years as Comptroller General might influence him to case aside his "career" record. In addition to other jobs, Bell is commissioner of accounts and deposits, a position he held when he was drafted to replace Lewis Douglas, the former director of the Budget. Bell, under Civil Service, draws $10,000 a year. This photograph shows Bell near the fireplace in his office in the Treasury Building
