Queer Chicks Under Hatch Act

The Hatch act aimed producing pure-bred elections
has Matched its first electoral brood but mongre
chicks have come toddling out of the nest
The Hatch act aimed at two things. first reducing
the part professional offce-holders and politicians
play in the elections and second setting bounds TO the
amount of money that could be spent to influence the
electorate
The detectives were certainly praiseworthy We don't
want elections dominated by ofcehoders interested chiefly
in perpetuating their Jobs We don't want money to
speak the last word in selecting our presidents.
In its first ful-dress trial. the Hatch act is shown to
be full of holes.
1t is true that of the abuses lessened
Public offices not openly and fagranty used
political headquarters has too often been the in
the past Public employees not openly shaken down
by their direct superiors for campaign contributions
Yet Cation shows that national political organizations
circularzed government employees for voluntary contr
buttons, approached relatives if the shake
down of the office-holder himself seemed too
More the Hatch act provides that party may spend
more than 100000 presidential campaign Appar
emily both parties kept officially within those limits for
to Oct 80 the Democratic National committee reported
having spent $1S48727; the Republican $2,313400 No

was spent by temporary political organizations all nomnay

Under the act, man may give than $4,000 to
the national campaign But big contributors appear
also to have given to various state county and independent
organizations well.
Congress would probably do well to appoint committee
to make laboratory study of the act and its workings in
not be easy To restrict all political activity the official
party committees might infringe the rights of voters to
political activity To restrict contributions fatty to given
amount might lead to phony gifts" to penness front
men, who would then blossom out $4,000 contributors.
1t will not be easy But the experience of l940 has
shown that Tightening up is necessary. The Hatch act,
regarded by many a cure-al, is only start toward
cleaner elections.

HOROSCOPE
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10

Benefic aspects dominate to-
day which should be favorable
for intellectual pursuits. College
professors are well directed.
Aviation is subject to a favor
able sway.
Heart and Home: This Is not
a lucky day for women with am
hitions The stars seem to indi-
cate that happiness and salts
faction will be found in unselfish
service. Mothers and wives will
undergo many exacting expert
enees and will make sacrifices
due to preparedness and defense
programs. Girls should train for
economic independence Need
will be great for those who are
trained to work in safeguarding
the public health.
Business Affairs: Mills and
factories will be pushed to top
speed as the greatest of democ-
racies becomes the target for
hostile designs. Prosperity will
continue, but the wise will look
forward 10 a future day of reck-
oning when the cost of wars
destruction must be paid by
those not responsible for the I'M
dermining OF civilization. Thrift
is advised.
National Issues: California
and the Pacific coast will be
much in the limelight as western
ports present many causes for
vigilant defense, Again severe
storms are foretold as likely to
menace shipping. An earthquake
has been prognosticated. Fifth
column activities will be intensi-
fled in places where airplanes
and ships are being built Good
news for the nation is forecast
for today.
International Affairs: Inclina-
ton TO criticize those who are IN
power will be evident at this
time. Truth will sift through
the sieve of the censors and will
be helpful to the United States,
which will profit by the mis-
takes OF European leadership.
Mexico will have internal prob
lens in which this country will
be helpful. The stars seem to
presage neighborly relations
which will be greatly strength
ened as our defense programs
reveal our power.
Persons whose hirthdate il is
have the augury of a year Of
success. Popularity will be
gained in public service
Children born on this day will
be courageous, determined and
