P rior to Tuesday's balloting,
M ondale had 1,7 2 1.05 delegates,
according to a New York Times
tabulation M r. H art had 978.75
delegates and M r Jackson had
334.2. A total ol 1,967 delegates are
needed for the nomination
Mondale appeared the winner of
most of New Jersey’s 107 delegates
and West Virginia's delegates. The
Mondale camp hoped for at least
100 of California's 306 delegates at
stake in the primary to wrap up the
nomination
With nearly all of the voles coun
ted in ( aliform a. Hart led with 38
percent or 5 8 million votes; enough
to captuie 189 delegates. Hart
referred to "this great victory" in
C alifornia M ondale took a close
second in the voting at 35 percent or
5.3 million votes, but earned only 72
delegates.
Jesse Jackson received the sup
port of 3.2 million voters for 2 1 4
percent o f the total and 30
delegates California's population is
seven percent Black. Early in
dications are that Jackson received
major support from the state's large
Hispanic and Asian populations.
A New York Tim es/CH S News
survey, conducted among 1,001
California voters, showed Jackson
with his strongest showing among
white voters in a major prim ary,
gaining about 10 percent o f that
vote.
Jackson's delegates in California
came mostly from victories in three
Black congressional districts in I os
Angeles and in Ron D ellu m ’ s
congressional district covering
Berkeley and suriounding solidly
white suburbs.
In New Jersey, Jackson received
24 percent of the vole statewide

"T h is whole campaign will not

And then on to the Super B ow l,”
Jackson said
" T h is ends one phase of a
tremendous campaign, a campaign

wake you up, to shake you up, to

Johnny Mathis concert boycott planned__
by Hill Bigelow
It’s not often that we're asked to
boycott the appearance of a popular
perform er. But when Johnny
M athis comes to P ortland, June
17th, picketers demanding an end to
apartheid in South A frica will do
just that.
South Africa ...Johnny Mathis—
what’s the connection?
In 1968, the U nited Nations
began issuing regular appeals to
countries and organizations to
suspend all sporting and cultural ties
with the apartheid government in
South A fric a . Their concern was
that internally, South Africa drew
comfort from the knowledge that
the country wasn't isolated from the
outside world. In te rn a tio n a lly ,
sporting and cultural events were
propaganda worth their weight in
gold, and masked the brutally ex
ploitative policies of a system which
denies basic rights to 75^« of its
people.
According to the U N ., Johnny
M athis was one o f a number of
celebrities, including Frank Sinatra,
Linda Ronstadt and Ray Charles,
lured to that country by offers of
astronomical fees.
W hen P O S A F — P o rtla n d e rs
Organized for Southern A frican
Freedom—contacted Mathis' agent,
Skip Heinecke, he insisted his client
hadn't performed in South Africa
since 1977. Pressed on whether
M athis appeared in 1982 at Sun
City, a gambling resort in the South
A frican homeland of Bophuthat-
swana, Heinecke admitted that,
"W ell, he played golf there."
And didn't he also perform there?
Heinecke pled ignorance, in
sisting that, in any event, Mathis
d id n ’ t even recognize a U .N .
boycott But according to the U N .,
Mathis did indeed perform in Sun
C ity and as a result, PO SAF is
asking Portlanders to boycott his
upcoming appearance at the Civic
Auditorium
Recently, South Africa has been
engaged in an intensive public
relations campaign to convince the
world that it is reform ing itself.
Some government officials go so tar
as to assert that, "A p a rth e id is
dead ”
As Dr. Allan Boesak, founder of
the United Dem ocratic Front in
South A fric a , remarked when he
was in Portland last m onth, " I f
apartheid is dead, it's the liveliest
corpse I ’ve ever seen.”
M athis Aids Apartheid
The South African government is
especially eager to attract in te r
nationally known performers to Sun
C ity, located in Bophuthatswana
Bophuthatswana is one o f four
homelands already proclaimed " in
dependent" by South Africa.
As Elombe Brath, Harlem-based
coordinator of the Patrice Lumum
ba C oalition observes, " T o visit,
perform or do business in any of the
bantustans (homelands, is to par
ticipate in recognizing the final ob
jective of apartheid: the permanent

The Oregon primaries: Where the money went
by Chuck Goodmacher
The skyrocketing costs of running
for public office in the United States
forces office-seekers to accept con
tributions from nearly anybody.
According to many critics, this
trend means the wealthy few will
have greater influence on elected of
ficials than the voters themselves.
Large contributions are often
either inducements or rewards for
specific voting behavior, say the
critics. They are also made to insure
victory for preferred candidates; 15
o f the 16 candidates winning
statewide and federal races and 8 of
13 winners in P ortland area
legislative contests were those who
spent the most.
Defenders o f the current cam
paign financing system claim it is a
social duty for citizens to con
tribute, in any legal manner, to can
didates they feel will serve the public
interest. Those with spare time can
volunteer and those with money can
contribute, they say. Accompanying
a large contribution by Robert
Janes, Executive Vice-President of
’twnxxs.-, :

; - ’ »r • '
Willamette Savings to candidate for
Secretary o f State, Jim G ardner,
were these comments;
" T h e enclosed campaign con
tribution should not be interpreted
as a personal endorsement. This is a
business management sponsorship
o f good government in Oregon
...This contribution is meant to be
in support o f truth, integrity, and
courage in government."
Janes gave Gardner $2,000, had
50 to 60 employees purchase $10
benefit tickets, and sent an endorse
ment letter to all 160,000 W il
lamette Savings customers.
Contributions by individuals and
P olitical
A ction
Com mittees
(P A C ’s, are often made to opposing
candidates. C . N orm an W in-
ningstad, chairm an o f Floating
Point Systems and a member of
Gardner's Finance Committee, for
instance, gave $2,000 to Gardner
and $1,000 to opponent Barbara
Roberts. The Associated General
Contractor's Committee for Action
gave $1,000 to G ardn er, $500 to
Roberts and $500 to Republican

«candidate for the same office, Don
na Zajonc.
Even the most severe critics of our
"free-enterprise” campaign financ
ing system say public officials in
Oregon are seldom " b o u g h t"
outright. A close look at the types of
contributors to all candidates does
show, however, that the economic
interests directly benefitting from
public land use, tax and economic
development decisions are those
who give the most to candidates
Real estate and development in
terests and people describing them
selves as "investors” , accounted for
roughly 55 percent o f donations

major candidates for city and coun
ty offices: Frank Ivancie and Bud

mission. Construction and timber
interests accounted for about 23
percent of donations to the above
candidates, and other major con
tributing groups were: hotels, attor
neys, labor unions, banks and in
surance firms and architects and
consultants.
Just as contributors often give lo
both opponents, many also donate
to candidates with generally d if
ferent political perspectives. Frank
Ivancie's largest single contribution,
$ 14,(MX), came from the W alnut
Park Company which also gave
Mike Lindberg $2,000. Walnut Park
Co. is a real estate firm.
Executives of Tom Moyer Luxury
Theaters gave Ivancie's campaign
$5,500 and is now seeking city-
issued low-interest
industrial
development bonds to finance a
$7.5 m illion underground four-
theater movie complex, a 10-story
parking garage, and later, a 10-story
office tower atop the garage Moyer
claims the parking garage and
theaters would be a public service
