HATCH FAVORS STRICTER LAW

Asks Also That Action Be Taken Against Violators In 1940 Election.

By CHARLES T. LUCEY imes Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—Proposals for tightening the Hatch election-reform law, put forward by a special assistant to the Attorney General, were praised today by Senator Carl Hatch (D. N. M.), but at the same time the Senator urged the Department to act on what he called “clear violations of the law” in the 1940 campaign. Senator Hatch referred to reports given the Senate Campaign EXpenditures Committee about the alleged juggling of funds between the Democratic National Committee and the New Jersey Democratic Committee. According to a minority report of the Senate Committee by Senator Charles W. Tobey (R. N. H.), Charles Quinn of the New Jersey Committee testified that Oliver Quayle, then treasurer of the National Committee, had told him just before the November election that there was danger the National Committee might exceed the Hatch Act’s $3,000,000 limit on expenditures. Mr. Quayle, according. to Mr. Quinn’s testimony, mentioned the cost of a broadcast by President Roosevelt. He inquired, Mr. Quinn testified, whether the New Jersey Committee would obligate itself for the radio commitment if Mr. Quayle knew someone who would lend the money. Testimony showed, according to Senator Tobey, that Mr. Quayle negotiated loans from R. J. Reynolds, of North Carolina, to the New York and New Jersey state committees, which then financed the broadcasts. Senator Hatch called this a violation of the law. “It is utter nonsense, for a national committee to say it does not have. knowledge of expenditures which; are made as openly and flagrantly, by committees organized within both parties, as was done in the last campaign,” he said.

MOSCOW, Feb. 26 (U. P.).—More than 1,000,000 schoolchildren were organized into opposing armies to practice assault tactics on snow fortresses as part of large scale war games last month, it was disclosed today by Komsomolskaya Pravda, organ of the Young Communists.

The children built their own arsenals and used wooden guns and tanks, the newspaper said. The role of youth in military preparedness was stressed by army leaders and newspapers during Sunday’s celebration of the 23d anniversary of the founding of the Red Army and Navy. Defense Commissar S. K. Timoshenko messaged the Communist youth organization at Leningrad that “during the harsh winter of 1940 (during the Finnish campaign) boy and girl Communists aided in the defense of Leningrad’s northwestern border and proved worthy heirs of the heroic traditions of their fathers and brothers.” He said thousands of Communist youth members had volunteered for duty

In his order of the day, Timeoshenko said that during the “tensest international situation fraught with various surprises it behooves every soldier to remember Stalin's warning to ‘maintain the entire nation in a state of mobilized readiness so no enemy trick cam catch us unawares.’ ” i
