its demands of diligence and ODE

STATUS OF CASE
 PUZZLES JUDGE.
Prisoners Counsel Claims Accused Bound Over;
 Clerk Differs

Whether Joseph Derouin, 90. of e8S Bank street, has already been bound over to superior court or whether his case is stfIl in city court remains a mystery, despite lengthy argument at this mornings city court session. The argument resulted in city court being treated to the unusual situation in which 8 defense counsel insisted that his client has already been bound over and hence out of city court juris- diction.
 Derouin is charged with statu- tory offense inv0Tving a minor girl and the case was heard in cham bers Saturday by Judge Edward Mascolo. The case was called again today, with Prosecutor Mitchell Meyers and Clerk Irving Pasternak informing Judge John r. McGrath that Judge Mascolo had continued the case tin today, with the provis- ion that Derouin was to plead guilty and go to jah for 30 days or be bound over to superior court.
 Attorney Joseph Guilfoile, Der ouin's ccunse4 then rose and told the court that he understood his client had already been bound over. He suggested 8 look at the bond for Derouin's release, furnished yes- terday. Examination of the bond showed 1t was to superior court, but MT. Pasternak then claimed that he had not made out the bond.
 Judge Mc0rath ordered that Derouin be brought in again to- morrow and will try to straighten out. matters then.

Campaign Expenses
 Restricted By Act
Congressman Smith, His Rival, Attorney UpsOn Re-
 minded of Limitation Three Cents Per Vote!

1 Smith or UpSon this year, at three cents per vote, is $2,487 .99. The fed eral corrupt practice act gives both candidates in the district an argu- ment to those not in 'the know" tc those seeking campaign allowances However, a further study of the act discloses, within the three-cent limitation candidates are not re- quired to include such disburse- ment as postage, personal travel subsistence, communication costs stationary, printing, other than for newspapers and billboards, and other similar items.
 Therefore Congressman Smith and Attorney Upson are given much leeway in the making up of their campaign expense costs. Both Smith and Upson have been notified that the corrupt practices act requires that they file campaign expendi- ture reports not more than IS oi less than 10 days before election and not more than 30 days after election.
 Under the three-cent clause the candidates in the other four con- gressional districts of the state will be allowed to spend for their cam- paign as follows: First, $4,117; se- cond, $2,716; third, $3,435; fourth 3,682. The candidates for congress- man-at-large will be allowed to spend up to $5,000. In fact, under another clause of the corrupt prac- tice law Congressman Smith ano Attorney Upson can make their re- spective minimum campaign ex- penditures $2,5OO. The federal law is quite flexible.
