Campaign Spending Law Changes Urged Urges Loopholes In Laws Revised ♦ WASHINGTON UP — The CIO political actiop committee -recommended today that present loopholes in campaign spending laws be closed by making political candidates responsible for all money spent on their behalf. In a statement filed with a special house committee investigating campaign expenditures, CTOPAC director Jack Kroll said the major weakness of present political spending laws “lies in their multiplicity . and concealment and evasion.” , > Kroll pointed out that while there are restrictions on how much a national committee may spend on . behalf of a presidential candidate, and on how much a congressional candidate may spend, there are no limitations on the number of committees that may be formed to support a candidate. i. To eliminate the ‘‘legal fiction’’ of multiple committees suporting a single candiifale, Kroll recommended that candidates be made . “responsible' for reporting all ex- - penditures made on their behalf and responsible for the observance of limitations on expenditures.” This could be accomplished, he said, by a provision In the law outlawing expenditures without the written consent of the candidate. The thickest bed of bituminous - coal in the world, a’ seam reaching up to 400 feet in depth, has been worked as an pit for more than 600 yedrs at Fushun, Manchuria. *
