EXPENSES OF
CANDIDATES
UNDER LIMITS
An nninion from the attorney
general's office today held that
none of the four candidates for
mayor of Klamath Falls has re
ported expenses in excess of the
limitation provided in the state
corrupt practices act.
The opinion was requested of
Attorney General George Neu
ncr by District Attorney L.
Orth Sisemore, who said his at
tention had been called to a
question concerning the expen
ditures u reported by Ed Osten
dorf, successful candidate for
mnvcr. ana waller wiesenaan-
ger, runner-up. He said he sub

ported by all four candidates

, End of Matter
Ho said that tne attorney gen
eral's opinion on the question,
wmch has been the topic of con
siderable rumor the past few
days, disposes of the matter so
far as tl- district attorney's of
fice is concerned, unless new or
additional . evidence is discov
ered, i
State law provides that a can
didate for nomination may per
sonally spend only 15 per cent
ot the annual salary ot the of
lice sought, or 315 in case of
mayor. A nominee, running for
election, may spend .only 10-per
cent of the annual salary, or
$210 in the case of mayor, CThe
mayor's salary is ?2100.)
. S312.75 Total
Ostcndorf, in filing his report
of campaign expenditures with
the city police judge, gave a to
tal of $312.75. He listed his own
contribution as S152.75: Carl
Stcinseifor, $150, and Jack Mur
Dhv. S10.
Wiosendaneer reported total
campaign expenditures of
S539.25.- He gave his own con.
tribution as $139.25, and that of
J. L. Steigcr as $400.
Basis of Question
The question arose as to
whether the total figures of ex.
penditurcs, as reported by candi
dates, should be considered with-
in the limitation, or merely that
portion they showed they con
tributed personally. The total
figures are over the limitation;
the personal contributions as re.
ported am under.
Ncuncr, in his opinion, stated:
The secretary of state s ot
fice has informed me that in
the administration of the act it
has always be-n interpreted to
mean that sums of money con
tributed by other persons on
behalf of a candidate are not
to be counted as a part of the
limit tion, but only such sums
of money 'to be paid by him,'
and . t money contributed by
other persons except of a 'de

Churchill Warns War May
Last to Summer of 7945
LONDON, Nov. 29 (IP)
Prime Minister Churchill warn
ed today that the war against
Germany might last longer than
he had thought. He said his re
cent prediction of a possible end
bv "early summer" might be re
vised by dropping .the word
"early."
Churchill addressed parlia
ment after King George VI,
opening the 10th session of the
legislators elected in 1935, said
that Britain intended to "rein
force as rapidly as possible the
United Kingdom forces" , now
fighting Japan.
- Antwerp Opened
Tho prime minister announced
for the first time that the port
of Antwerp had finally been
opened "and is now receiving
large convoys of ocean going
ships, thus making an incompar
able sea base available for the
nourishment of the northern
group of British armies and the
various groups of American
armies also deployed in these
operations."
Churchill praised the progress
of the allied armies on the west
ern '-.nt. ' "
"The enemy everywhere has
I teen thrust back," he said. "Any
r
1 a r s e and effective break-
thrcu. :i in tne uerman ironi in
the region of Cologne would
have the highest strategic conse-
auences."
But, unurcniu aaaea, yyb
must remember that the enem;
whose ci.untrv is invaded has a
so the supreme stimuli which
we ourselves responded to in the
very dark days of 1940 and
1941."
I.nudit French
Churchill lauded the fighting
of the French troops near, the
Swisn frontier, where they
slashed through to the Rhine,
and declared - It showed the
French' nrmy "would rise again
and that the French soldier.
properly led and properly equip-,
p d, is unsurpassed."
The weather had badly' ham
pered the American and British
fore : at the northern end of the
front, ho said, but the battle was
continuing with vigor and im

on the enemy.
