British Election Laws Are Stringent Too Much Spending In U. S. Elections WASHINGTON <UP> — Just about now in an election* year session of Congress some legislator may be expected to introduce a bill to defeat fraud and to impose honesty in U.S. elections. The Corrupt Practices Act is on the books but does not Work very’ well. It is conceded that there is too much spending in U.S. elec- ; tions, and it is widely believed that some of it is illegal. ’ There have been in recent ■ years charges of ballot box stuffing and'at least one notable theft and disposal of suspected ballots. Before any legislator moves to correct these evils, he should ’examine the Representation of the People Acts of 1948 and 1949 which comprise the present election Iflws of Great Britain.

Thse laws would bewilder any honest American politican and almost surely entrap a crook. Their purpose primarily was to limit or to abolish any campaign advantage a rich man might have over a poor man. The laws limit spending, and they are enforced. Limit Use of Cars Treating or entertainment by a candidate is forbidden No campaign cigars! Don’t lend a voter money if you plan to run for British offee. Even a small lo made in good faith would disqualify a candidate if the election took place within six months thereafter: AzErjthjh voter may take household members to the polls in the family car but may not offer ills' neighbor a lift, nor any other person not of the househod. A British candidate's campaign manager may register before poling day a limited number of automobiles to transport voters: one car for ■every 2.500 registered voters in a i city constituency, one for every 11.500 in country districts. i If a car breaks down on polling day, it may not be replaced. One of the penalties for ignoring some !of theke" campaign and election clay rules is disqualification of the ■i candidate if he is elected and ' punishment of his campaign man- | ager or agent. A candidate for the British ■ House of Commons may spend ! S2BO of his personal funds on per- ■ sonal campaign expenses. His ' agent or campaign manager is limited to spending between $1,600 and SI,BOO. depending on the constituency — and that is all. The candidate is disqualified if he or ■ his agent over-spends. ’ No Goons, No Nonsense The agent is responsible for his I

Candidate's observance of the law. The elected candidate probably will need work outside the House of Commons to support his family. The salary, is $2,800 a year with I $5.60' added for each day the < House of Commons is in session i That usually brings a British member's official income to $3,500 before taxes. Members of the U.S. Congress do much better than that. Their pay since a 1955 hike; has been $22,500 a year. « Sturdy protection of the voter and assurance that his vote will be counted remain entrenched in British law and tradition. The British tolerate neither goons nor nonsense around their polling places. It has been a long, long time since any British ballot box has been tampered with or stolen, especially in or from official premises, all of which has happened in the United States more | recently. —Strict- and impartial enforce-, ment of British election laws is! enormously aided by the British • election system. The British par-! liamentary election is not part of; a general township, county and; state polling, as in the United! States. The federal Corrupt Prac-| tices Act would be more effective, if federal, state and local officials | iwere elected separatly. State Promotion. . , J AUGUSTA. Me.

Seeks Emmy Award For Commercials New Category Is Now Being Plugged By VERNON SCOTT United Press Hollywood Writer HOLLYWOOD fUP> —Now that 1957's Emmys have been distributed for TV excellence, a new category is being plugged Tor next year—best commercial of the‘season. Spearheading the campaign for recognition of jing l es, sales pitches and huckstering is Adrian Woolery of Playhouse Productions, who. strangely enough, just (happens to specialize in turning out cartoon commercials. Woolery (would combine business with art. '"The low opinon of commerHeals has changed," Woolery i claims, hinting that some viewers ' prefer commercials to entertainj ment. “Sales messages have progressed apace with 'the rest of TV. The public today ; wouldn’t stand still for commercials that were turned out eight years ago. Would Demand Attention ... ‘ There would be tremendous public interest in an Emmy award for the top commercial. ' Every viewer has his favorite jingle or cartoon advertisement, just as he does a favorite show,” The New York art directors voted Woolery's public service plug for the Navy as the best commercial of 1957It whetted his desire for bigger awards. “I’ve already’ contacted members of the TV academy about an Emmy for the best live and filmed commercials. The recep- ' tion was good. “We believe commercials should have the same effect as cartoons do in a movie theater. Audiences are always glad to see them come on,” he said. “There’s no reason why commercials shouldn't entertain as well as sell a product. The most effective ones ace always the most enterFY ’ T’ : JißwO ‘IT ' 1 b / L „ ji MOTHERHOOD 'FIRST'—Mrs. Edith Helm, ths Oklahoma woman who became the first to achieve motherhood following a kidney transplant, sits in plane in Boston just before taking off for home« The transplant was received from her sister two ; years ago.

taining.” >♦ Cartoons Dominated Ads About 25 per cent of all sales pitches are cartoons, and they are winning increasing popularity over announcers and filmed dramatizations as a means of video advertising. According to Woolery, 20-second films are most popular with eightsecond quickies also proving effective for sponsors. _ “You can’t sell a product very well if viewers leave their sets to let the dog out or fix the baby’s bottle,” Woolery went on. “A commercial must be lively enough to capture attention immediately, and to hold the viewer’s interest.” An advocate of the “soft sell, ’ Woolery’# firm produces some 250 commercials yearly for 50 different clients. His particular favorite is the zany introduction to the Tennessee Ernie Ford show (For Ford automobiles*. "Commercials require creative artists,” Wool er y concludes. “They should be recognized by the TV academy on an equal basis with other television contributors. “And what’s more important, commercials pay the freight for ithe entire medium."
