Holding administration lines intact in-tact in the face of a determined battle from bipartisan opponents, the house rejected by voice vote an amendment by Rep. Francis J. Case, R., N. D. The amendment would have made the entire general gen-eral accounting office independent of the executive department. Second Move Loses Smashing the opposition coalition coali-tion on the Case amendment, the administration defeated the bill's opponents on a second attack an amendment by Rep. Andrew J. May, D., Ky., to strike the entire en-tire title dealing with the general accounting office. This would have eliminated all provisions dealing with the comptroller general and the auditor general. The amendment was defeated 116 to 93 in a standing vote. Under the house version of the reorganization bill, an auditor general gen-eral and comptroller general would divide auditing powers of the government. gov-ernment.
