MATTER OF
 KNOWLEDGE

Hatch acts limits one party's cam- paign expenditures to $3,O00,000. The supposed loophole opened up when somebody decided that limit applied to each individual political organ ization, so that if you could put half a dozen different outfits to work each one could spend up to $3,000,- 000
 Senator Hatch says that simply isn't so.
 The act provides. in substance, that all moneys expended by any one with the knowledge of the national committee must be charged up as expenditures of the national committee itself" he says.
 T wouldn't go to the extent of saying that if some ordinary nor tai went out on his own hook and spent a little money to boost his candidate, his spending ought to be charged up to the committee. But where you have huge national or- ganizations set up to do the same job as the national committee and, in some cases, obviously split up just in order to avoid this limi- tation - should say that the money they spend is clearly part of the national committees ex- penditure.
 Its too thin for any national committee to say, "Yes, here's a nation wide organization spending money for our candidate in every state and precinct-but we don't know thing about it,"
 A WORRY
 FOR G. o. P.
 All of this, of course, is chiefly a matter for the Republicans to worry about. Senator Gillette has remark ed that officials of several of the assorted Willkie clubs told his com mittee frankly that their lawyers had advised them that each or ganization could spend up to the $3,000,000 limit. The Democrats had a number of subsidiary clubs of their own, but most Washington ob- servers doubt that they fractured the Hatch act limit very badly - simply because it's doubted that they were able to lay hands on the money.
 Until it is known precisely what was spent, and by whom, it is i'm possible to say just what either Congress or the administration may do.
 "The main thought to hold in mind," says Senator Hatch, lis that there are inevitably going to be some violations and some loop holes in any brand-new law. This act is just a beginning. We must strengthen it and improve it. More than anything else, though, there must be an educational process among the people so that they will demand better enforcement and higher standards" .f

make fuss about it if he finds that the laws spirit was violated.
 Right now he's sitting tight. He wants to see. the final reports of the House and Senate campaign investigating committees. headed by Representative Wilmington and Senator Gillette. Then he wants to study the full financial reports of the Democratic and Republican national committees.
 He doesn't of his own knowledge know whether this last campaign was, as Senator Gillette has re- marked, the most expensive one ever held, but he is convinced there was some pretty heavy spending. "All those billboards I saw weren't put up free" he says. Neither were those newspaper and magazine ads given away. And all that radio time wasn't donated"

In Congress.

In official Washington all other is
sues have become secondary to that
OF national defense. Recent hap
penings in Western Europe in West
ern Europe have at last caused
America to awaken and direct at
tentlon to our own state Of pre-
paredness-or lack thereof. Break
ing precedent, President Roosevelt
last Thursday appeared before a
joint session of the House and SEN
ate and personally delivered an Of
iicial message requesting an emer-
gency appropriation of eleven hun
dred and eighty-six million dollars
for national defense. This appro-
priation S in addition to the regu-
lar appropriations Of approximately
two billion dollars already before
Congress. Included in the Presiden-
tial request were funds for equip
rlng a mechanical and mobile amy
OF million men, strengthening of
coast dsfenses, purchase of large
number Of antiaircraft guns, an i'm
mediate increase in the number of
both fighting and bombing planes,
training of thousands of airplane
pilots, and the building Of new
fighting ships and reconditioning of
many old ones.

mount" Christ Jesus taught his fol-
lowers TO love God supremely an1

significance and application of the
pattern shown in the mount becomd
increasingly apparent as we become
more Christlike in thought and action.
1t is very important that young
people be given an ideal of conduct
based on the truth Of being, and that
they be taught to recognize the beauty
of that which is morally pure. 1t
should be recognized that MOI ality,
goodness, spirituality are never old
fashioned. They are ever fresh and
new to the heart that discelns their
eternal beauty. They can bring into
any life, however seemingly common
place, the distinction OF expressing
love and JOY.

the Scriptures" Mary Baker Edd,
writes (p 24S): "Do you not heal

Our way of thinking and livinf

The Design for True Living

nN A CLEAR NIGHT when the
Il distant stars are shining, the
~ unenlightened observer may be-
hold only field of glittering lights
which, though they present mag
nifcent spectacle, seem to be without
design. But to the astronomer, each
planet and constellation has its place,
and he knows with mathematical GER
tainty where each may be found.
Again, there may be many troubled
ones who, having observed the beauty
u these distant stars, have comforted
themselves with the reflection that
sueh apparent harmony must indicate
lle existence OF a supreme designer
or creator, and have longed to see
soiAe evidence OF design or purpose
IN their own lives. They want to be-
teve IN ruling intelligence, but as
tslSy observe mortal existence they
,ec inperfection, confusion, discord,
and decay. As the Psalmist says
tPsalms 1927, 2s) "They J.. are

Nazi Troops Evacuate Roeros After Attacks
Norwegian Troops, Aided By Swedish Volunteers Drive Them Out-NOrway Doubts List of
 Successes Told By Germany
BY FREDERICK LAUDON United Press Staff Correspondent,

Stockholm, May l.-(CUP)-Ger- man troops have evacuated Roeros, Southeast of Trondheim, and Nor- wegian forces re-occupied the city today, according to direct telephone adviceS from RoeroS.
 The German troops retreated Southward from Roeros with Nor- wegian patrols in pursuit, Roeros reported by telephone. Previous ad- vices from Francis McEachen, United Press Staff Correspondent, near there or the Norwegian-Swe- dish frontier, had described how Norwegian patrols filtered into Roe ros under cover of dark and sur- prised the small German garrison in a daybreak attack.
 Despite the recapture of Roeros the exact situation on the vital Dombaas- -Stoeren railroad line was not made clear in reports reaching here.
 Roeros is on a branch railroad line leading to Stoeren from the Southeast and it's possession is not vital to either side in the main battle being waged for possession of the Dombaas-Stoeren railroad-key to the southern approach to Trond- helm and also to the Allied landing bases at Andalsnes and vicinity.
 Doubt German Claims
 The correspondent of the news paper Social Demokraten on the S.einkjer front quoted a Norwegian officer there as doubling the Ger man claims of successes. This of- ficer asserted that the Allies had established st 'ong artillery positions in support of the RombaaS-Stoeren line and he did not believe it pos sible the Germans had shattered these defenses so quickly.
 He also reported that the Nor wegian garrison at Hegra Fort, west of Trondheim, was still holding out and was being provisioned and fur nished with ammunition by air. pane.
 On the Steinkjer front this cor respondent asserted that the Allies had wiped out two German patrols and killed g Germans.
