Wlllkie was asked whether the
situation had not been changed by
a statement of Oliver A. Quayle,
democratic committee treasurer,
that advertisements for the book
had been sold prior to President
Roosevelt's signature of the Hatch
act amendments August 2.
THAT statement does not affect
it," Willkie asserted. IT think it
is outrageous, even though Attor-
ney General Jackson has attempt
ed to draw a distinction between
the selling and buying of advertis-
ing under the Hatch law.
II think such sales are a viola
ZION OF the corrupt practices law in

Quayle's statement, Willkie as
serted, lis a rather weird defense
from a moral standpoint"
1T would be clearly illegal to
get the (democratic) book togeth-

(Quayle's) is the kind of immoral
defense that will never be made
about anything in my campaign"
II feel very strongly about this
thing" Willkie said. II think such

not say that they are the RESPONSE
