That the Senate vestisating COM
mittee's inability to obtain any de-
tailed information as to receipts and
expenditures OF Presidential campaign
funds emphasized the necessity for a
national law which would require
publicity. before the elections, of such
information was advanced by Repre-
sentative Robert L. Henry of Texas,
In an interview today, as a new rea-
son for the Senate passing his bill
to this end.
The Senate committees inability to
get authentic information concern
ing use of campaign funds in the
campaign clearly
shows the necessity for such law
as have proposed" Henry declared
Il am not surprised that witnesses
cannot recall details of money cx-
penditures In that campaign. There
was no reason for them to keep ac-
curate account Of them.
The candidates for President and
Vice President owe It to the people
to make an itemized, detailed state
ment, which shall be sworn to, Of all
contributions and expenditures used in
their campaigns for the purpose of
influencing their election. And such
statements should be made public be-
fore the elections.
The bill which / introduced. and
which passed the House, makes pub
lication of detailed reports compul-
sorry by imposing a fine of $1,000, i'm
prisonment of not more than one year,
or both, upon all violators.
Senators and Representatives,
under the law passed last year. must
render an accounting of their finan-
cial expenditures. 1t seems to me
that 1t Is vastly more important that
such law should govern Presiden-
tial and Vice Presidential candidates" :"
