RICHMOND, Va, June 7.

hlCHMOND, Va, June Z.
Virginians believe that the
Shenandoah National Park in
the Blue Ridge Mountains of
their state, through which runs
the famous Skyline drive, prob
ably will establish an all-time
high for patronage during the
present travel year.
Having led all national parks
in attendance each year since il
was first opened and having had
slightly more than 100000
visitors during one year indi-
cations are that when the
present travel year closes on
September 30, the park will have
been visited by considerably
more than 100000 visitors to
set a new record.
Although heavily patronized.
the park is so large, covering as
il does 10000 acres. that when
one takes the trails leading into
the heart of this mountain play
ground, he finds himself entirely
secluded from hustle and hustle
of everyday life-in effect in a
new world,
OF primary appeal TO the
motorists is the Skyline drive.
A broad. smooth paved highway
which runs the length of the
park from Front Royal on the
north TO Rockfish Gap near

lance of 107 miles.

Gillette Offers Bill 10 Plug
loophoIes in Hatch Act
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Gillette, Democrat, of
Iowa introduced legislation today
which he said would plug loopholes
in present laws intended to limit
contributions and expenditures in
election of all Federal officials"
The Senator proposed an overall
limit of S2,000,000 on outlays for
each presidential candidate, $l,000,-
900 for vice presidential candidates
and s25,0O0 on all congressional
candidates unless State laws ordered
lesser amount.
This would cure the fragrant
abuses of the Hatch Act disclosed
in the last election" he said. Con-
gress should take steps now to end
the present debauchery of the cleo
torate with the next primaries only
eight months away"
The new measure would make it
unlawful for any person or group
to spend funds in behalf of any
candidate for Federal Office unless
that candidate had authorized these
activities in writing.

Piling up at the rate of S277.50 a
second, the Federal debt now towers
above the s5e,090.oOo 600 mark. a
figure almost double the s26 ,596, ,70l, =
64S peak reached in World War
days
Treasury officials said yesterday
that since the new fiscal year began
July ], the debt had increased about
S1,040000,000. 1t has not, however,
kept pace with defense expenditures,
which aggregated 81 400 ,O00, 900 dur
ing that six-week period.
On the basis of an estimated pop
ulation of 132633,000 the present
debt amounts to S37697 per person.
The principal factor in the rising
debt has been the sale of Defense
savings bonds, which netted about
$3.50, 100000 in the six weeks. An
other S255 100000 came from the
sale Of tax-anticipation notes. Al
though these securities are destined
to be turned back to the Treasury

BERLIN, Aug. 14.-An authorized
government spokesman expressed
satisfaction today over the 203-202
vote in the United States House OF
Representatives extending the Amer
lean military mans service 18
months.
1--WE wouldn't care in the least
whether America decided to have
even a 10-year service period" he
said. In itself that would be SIM
ply domestic matter for the United
States to decide. But certain groups
in power in America deliberately
pointed defense measures aggres-
sively against Europe.
1T was these groups, not we, who
raised the anti-European issue. Now
that they've done it, certainly we
may permit ourselves to register the
fact that the measure was carried
by one lone voice. Thus it has be-
come evident before the entire world
that evidently large sections of the
American people oppose incitation
to the war promoted by a certain
clique in the United States.
That one vote was secured by a
great effort of propaganda and pres
