RIGHTS OF SENATE IN PROBES DOUBTED North Carolina Democrats Challenge Authority to In- | Vestigate State Campaigns. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. News from North Carolina that the Democrats there are considering a bat- e in the courts to determine the juris- diction of the *Senate’ commitice in- vestigating campaign expsnditures is Taising some interesitng questions as to the rights of the Senate itself with re- spect to electicns. While the Constitution gives each State Legislature the right to prescribe the manner of holding -elections, Con- r such regnlations at any act, however, is that con- gres< has not made any primary elections, either amount of money tha of as to what the qu candidate shall be. Congress’ Right Defined. as to the ay be spent lifications of a The rights of all inve mittees are derived from the fact that Congress may wish to know the f in order to legislate. The: question whether a candidate can from the Senate because of facts un- covered in an investigation has already been passed upon by the Senate in the cases of William Vare of Pennsylvania and Frank L. Smith of Illinois, but nobody has ever tested in the courts the pow of the Senate to bar a ean- didate because of undesirable activities in a primary campaign Members of the Senate have defended themselves on the ground that they have broad powers to judge of the cations of members, and this ex- to the character and integrity of | the candidate as well ‘as to the method used in winning an election. Opposite View Quoted. Opposed to this line of reasoning is by the school of ds that the actions of a party organization in a convention or the vote of party members in a primary is wholly outside of any power of the United States Senaie or the House of Representatives. It is con- tended, for example, that a candidate does not actually apply for admission to the United States Senate until after the general election, hence the conten- that senatorial inquisition is an unwarranted inter- ference with the operations of party organization. Congress could, of course, pass a law regulating primaries, but in the absence of such a law there is no power, except an arbitrary one, to say | that a primary has been properly or improperly conducted. If the case does get into the courts| the ruling probably will be entirely_on whether a Senate committee has the right to investigate the general purpose of framing legislation. There is no im- portant bill pending which looks to- ward the regulation of primary elec- tions, but Congress, on the other hand. has appointed investigating committees withbut necessarily framing a specific proposal Candidate’s Status Tnvolved. 1t is generally admitted that Congress has the right to inquire into all the facts in an election both in the pri- maries and in the final contest after both have eccurred 5o as to get @ back- ground for a judgment as to the quali- fications and character of a candidate. The new question that has arisen is whether investigations should be carried on in advance of a general election and at a time when the work of the com- mittee itself becomes intangled in the campaigns of the various candidates It would be easy, for instance, for one pelitical party-tornse a Campaign In- véstigating Committee to prevent the| election of opponents by constantly | focusing attention on minute details of campaigning. _There is on the other hand the argument that the people are entitled to know immediately after a pHmary election all the facts so that thought which | law governing | tigating com- 3 be barred | they can still have an opportunity to choose some other candidate in the general election, Tilinois Case Cited. In the case of Frank L. Smith of IWinois, investigators had made a com- | prehensive study and report before the final election, but it did not interfere with Mr. Smith's victory at the polls One of the effects of the investigating business be to compel Congress to pass a law specifically reguiating the amounts of money that can be spnet by candidates in both primary and final elections. «co right, 1980.)

LUTHERANS PLAN MEMBER INCREASE Milwaukee Convention Gives Study to “Expectancy” From 5,515 Churches. By the Associated Press. MILWAUKEE, October 13.—Ways to “increase the expectancy” of the | United Lutheran Church of America interested delegates to the biennial convention today. A committee headed by Dr. George Schnur, Erie, Pa., editor of the Church | Year Book, is using standard statistical methods to figure how much increase | may be expected from the present 5,515 congregations with 1,520,000 members. The church’s Committees on Archi- tecture, Puplications and Music were principals today in suggesting improve- ment of: Church properties, circula- tion of the century-old Lutheran, and church music. The Architecture Committee sug- gested a permanent board advising on buildings, equipment and surroundings, that_church may become bigger by be- | ing better. Dr. J. F. Ohl, Philadelphia, chairman of the Music Committee, said: “At no time in the history of America has interest in music_been so general. Its influence reaches the churches.” His report held music that satisfied congregations a quarter of a century ago is no long!r “good.” ' }{orse Slnin Afier Accident.

SCHOOLS IN 100 YEARS TO TEACH HOW TO LIVE Commissioner of Education Advance of Machine Age Will Raise Standards. Says Dr. William John Cooper, Federal Commissioner of Education, in a state- | ment. made public today, predicted that | the public school of 100 years hence will emphasize the teaching of “how to live” rather than “how to make a liv- ing.” Dr. Cooper said the advance of the | machine age and the replacement of | physical labor by mechanical means will have a strong influence on educa- tion. He pointed out that most youths ‘w‘fll remain in school until they become | of age, “learning how to care for their | health, how to spend their leisure time | to advantage, how to discharge their | civic dutfes, how to make worthy homes {and be capable parents. | " Dr. Cooper predicted a standard of {living “higher than Utopla,” commer- cial employment simplified and made | easy of mastery, Government in the | hands of men and women especially trained, emotion replaced entirely by | intelligence in settling public issues and | the members of the professions, includ- ing teaching, the recognized leaders in formulating public opinion.
