Expense Statements Not Always Indication Of Full Cost Of Political Campaign By PAUL W. HARVEY JR. SALEM (AP) The candidates have filed their expense statements for Oregon's Primary Election campaign and, as jsual it is impossible to tell how much anybody's campaign :ost. . . ( That's because Oregon's Corrupt Practices Law doesnt have any teeth in if. The law. which limits campaign spending and requires candidates and their organizations to file their expenses and contributions, was passed in 1909. It hasn't been brought up to date since then. David O'Hara, who beads the State Elections Bureau, calls the law a "farce." He begged the 1951 Legislature to make it effective, but his pleas fell on deaf ears. The law aays no candidate may spend more than IS per cent of the salary for the office he aee.ks to run in a primary election cam- Jiaign. The limit is 10 per cent or a general election race. How ever, any candidate is allowed to spend $100 for each election. In filing the expense statements, the candidates and their campaign organizations must list every con tribution and expense. Truth Not Obtainable O'Hara makes sure that every candidate files a statement, but there's no way for him to tell if a statement is truthful. So noth ing 'a done about that part of the job. If he spots a glaring error in an expense statement, or if a candi date doesn't file one, O'Hara sends the candidate a letter. If that letter doesn't bring any response, the candidate can be prosecuted in Circuit Court. Any candidate who fails to file an expense statement, or who is convicted of filing a false one, can be deprived of his office. A false statement can bring punishment under the perjury laws. O'Hara told the Legislature that the limits on expenditures are ridiculously low. He said nobody can run a campaign on the small amount permitted by the law, and that this act encourages violation of the law. For instance, a man running for the Legislature can spend only $100. So he slips $1,000 to his cam paign committee, which reports this money as coming from other sources. Higher Limit Proposed O'Hara's proposed change would provide higher limits, but would make them apply to the total amount spent for a candidate. A legislative candidate, for example, would be permitted to spend $300, and that's the total amount that he and his committee could spend. Then in O'Hara's office there would be an investigator to audit the statements. O'Hara thinks his idea didn't get to first base in the Legislature be cause he had the staunch support of Sen. Richard Neuberger, Port land Democrat. He believes Neu berger's support was the kiss of death, because Republican Legis latures don't generally look kindly Voice Of America Hit By South Korean Ban PUSAN, Korea OB The South Korean government has banned Voice of America broadcasts over the 10 - station government net. work, accusing it of "bitterly anti government" and "obviously in sulting" remarks. The Voice has included in its three dally broadcasts editorial ex cerpts from many U. S. and other foreign newspapers attacking Pres ident Syngman Rhee and scoring recent political developments here. Editorials carried on the Voice programs had criticized President Rhee for declaring martial law May 25 and for ignoring demands of the national assembly and United Nations representatives here to lift it. on ideas espoused by Democrats. You can't tell how much cam paign cost by just adding up the expense statements. Newspaper reporters have spent days trying to figure them out, and they al ways give upi Why System Fails Here's why It can't be done. Joe Doakes contributes 1,000 to a county committee for a candidate, and be reports it to O'Hara. The county committee reports the same $1,000, and sends the money to a statewide committee, which re ports it, too. That makes a total of $3,000 that was reported, while only $1,000 was spent. In a campaign like the. one In Oregon for Gen. Eisenhower for President, with state and county committees and individuals report ing, the duplication of expenses reported is so widespread that it's like trying to figure out a Chinese puzale. O'Hara is discouraged about the chances that the Corrupt Practices Law can be reformed. He is at retirement age now, and might not be around much longer. So if the law is to be changed, some body else probably will have to carry the ball. Quality Where Quality Count?'
