RALEIGH, Nov. 26.-lR-Pro-
ceeding under the corrupt prac-
tees act, Secretary of State Thad
Eure today demanded that tn e
North Carolina Dmeocrats for Will
kie file a campaign finance re-
port, which was due Monday.
The demand was directed by
wire and registered mail to j. Paul
Leonard, secretary of the Fair Tax
association and of the Democrats
for Willkie. The secretary OF state
said he would hold Leonard fully
responsible for the report.
Democratic and republican regu-
lars filed reports in order, listing
contributors and expenditures.
Eure said if Leonard failed to
respond within a reasonable
time" the delinquence would be
reported to the attorney general
for prosecution. 1t was the first

that the amedment on election re-

counting on a presidential veto to
kill the bill. Senator Barley OF
Kentucky, the majority chieftain,
announced he would advise the
president to apply a veto, and the
closeness of the vote gave him
every reason to expect that ne
could command enough support to
make the veto stick. To override
it the proponents of the measure
would have to amass a tWo-thlrds
majority.
