Newspaper Page Text8 Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., Tuesday, October 21, 1952 Costliest Campaign in History To Wind Up With Big Splurge By ARTHUR EDSON Washington VP) The cost liest of all political campaigns is winding up with the biggest plurge in history. Between now and Nov. 4, re publicans and democrats and the organizations supporting them will bombard us voters by eye and by ear, using tele vision, radio and literature. Each side will argue its case until the last minute. On Nov. 3, the democratic na tional committee will take over all radio and TV networks from 10:30 p.m. until 11 p.m. (EST). Then the republicans move in for their last licks. The Citizens for Eisenhower committee will have all radio - TV networks from 11 p.m. until midnight (EST). You'll get some idea of the tremendous costs from this: More than a million dollars have been or will be spent on national radio and television programs alone for the last three weeks of the campaign. Starting at the middle of last week, the final three weeks on the networks line up like this: Programs boosting Steven- ion: I2'k hours of radio time, 11 hours of TV. Programs boosting Eisenhow er: i hours of radio time, and ilso 4 hours of TV. If the parties or other spon oring organizations pay the listed rates ($24,000 an hour for radio, $50,000 an hour for TV) :his would cost Stevenson sup porters about $869,000 and Eis enhower backers around $351, )00. Network officials say they expect more time will be pur chased. And they point out that their figures do not include ipot announcements or pro grams carried by single stations )r by state networks. So the figures would exclude the costs of a republican plan to use spot radio and TV an- Strong Typhon Sweeps Luzon Manila VP) The season's itrongest typhoon swept the loutheast Luzon peninsula Tues lay and headed for the Manila irea. No loss of life has been re. lorted. Meteorologists said the big ropicnl blow generating winds ip to 140 miles an hour veered ilightly north after battering the last-central island of Snmar. The U. S. navy weather sta ion said it was expected to pass ibout 30 miles south of Manila Vednesday morning (Tuesday light, U. S. time). A 250-ton inter-island motor- oat caught fire and sank off lorthcrn Mindanao while seeking helter. Two other boats went down in leavy seas off Samar island.

Commercial Fh. 3-4163 CAffCH KV FLAV0RL l because : its v Pan-Toasted nouncements in 12 key states. Democrats have called this an air blitz that would cost two million dollars. Walter Williams, co-chairman of the Citizens for Eisenhower committee, icplicd that the ad agency which drew up the plan recommended a two million dol lar campaign. But, Williams said, "how much we actually will spend depends, of course, on what mono, we are able to raise." Oddly, no one knows for sure how much a campaign costs in J a presidential year. One guess, by Illinois' demo cartic Senator Paul Douglas in his new book, "Ethics in Gov ernment," $75 million dollars. This figure includes expenses of congressional as well as presi dential candidates. On one thing everyone is agreed. Whatever the total cost, with television being wide ly used for the first time, this is the most expensive campaign ever. By law, a political organiza tion is limited to three million dollars a year. But there's nothing to keep kindred organizations, such as the Volunteers for Stevenson or the Citizens for Eisenhower, from trying to raise three mil lion, too. State and county organiza tions also raise money on their own. Because of this, figures on the amounts raised by national or ganizations may not mean too much. But, as we go into the last lap, here is what the parties are doing: Republicans National Chair man Arthur Summerfield says his party expects to spend around $4,800,000. All over the legal three million dollar maxi mum would be handled by con gressional campaign committees. Citizens for Eisenhower group hopes to collect between $750, 000 and a million dollars. Democrats 800,000 red, white and blue booklets, each having five certificates, have been distributed. Anyone donating $5 gets a certificate cate bearing a thank-you from Stevenson. Bcardsloy Ruml, the chairman of the democratic finance committee who thought up the idea, says the results have been "too fantastic for words." No dollars and cents figures, though. Porter McKeever, national publicity chief of Volunteers for Stevenson, says his organization has spent $280,000, hopes to col lect around $270,000. ' , Organized labor also has been busy raising money. The CIO would like to raise around a million dollars, with half of the money staying at the local level. Phillip Murray, CIO president, says: "The CIO is doing the same as It has in other campaigns, collecting voluntary dollars from our people in the plants to help our candidates. The re sponse, thus far, has been rea sonably good." The Af'L estimated it will raise between $400,000 and $600,000 for its League of Poli tical Education. Labor's Committee for Stev enson and Sparkman, composed of representatives of about 100 AFL and railway unions, is re ceiving contributions Irom in dividuals but says it has no esti mate of how much has been col lected. The committee has a get-out-the vote campaign, with $z,ooo In prizes to be awarded to winning locals. Railway labor's Political League, composed of 19 rail unions, also collects Irom indi viduals. It, too, Insists it has no figures on how much It has taken in.

Wafer Survey To Be Carried on Tacoma VP) The Pacific Northwest Utilties Conference Committee planned another sur vey of the area's water reserve Tuesday to determine whether an electric power cutback will be ordered next month. C. A. Erdahl, the committee chairman, said Monday's rain fall, which ended a drought in many parts of the Northwest, was "just a sprinkle," and pow er curtailment probably will be necessary. Erdahl said Northwest power officials would be linked in a telephone conference call to sur vey conditions. The group then will report to the Defense Elec tric Power Administration which will issue a power "brownout" order, if the need for one is de termined. Amoni?

Aided Liberals with Funds By FRED SAITO TOKYO VP) Japanese com munists, smarting from their smashing shutout defeat in the Oct. 1 national elections, are howling that the victorious Lib- eral party bought votes with funds supplied by "crudely in tervening" Americans. The Red charges, widely trumpeted by the Russians and Red China radio, are falling on deaf ears. Few Japanese believe any American soldiers or officials intervened in the firf.t elections since Japan gained postwar independence. To impartial observers, the American authorities appeared as shy as burned cats about the elections. The handing the Liberals an absolute majority of seats in the 466-mcmber house of represen tatives, the voters indicated they did not agree with the com munists, who call American security forces here an "occupa tion." The Liberals were returned to power on a pro-American platform. Not a single communist of 107 candidates was elected, During the seven-year Allied occupation which ended 1 a April 28, some over-zealous of ficers of the u. S. military gov ernment harangued provincial aldermen on "democratic tech niques." Some officers even stumped rural areas urging peo ple to vote. Nothing of that kind happen ed this time. No Japanese say that the Oct ober general elections were completely clean. But many Japanese claim it was the freest" election they have had in 15 years. Japanese police made no dis crimination between govern- ment party or opposition in cracking down on offenders. National police headquarters on Oct. 3 announced 10,121 per sons, including 18 candidates, both elected and defeated, were i I 1 tilexandert fecueleri, I I 1 1 ""XT" GIVES &9C GREEN STAMPS Th Portland Federation of Women's Organizations says VOn 332 X YES FOR LOWER MILS PRICES I fwkkei by htpftfl opinion.

Foreign Minister Katsuo Oka zaki, elected from Kanagawa, is having a considerable head ache. Some of hfs campaigners were arrested for "giving a banquet to local aldermen." He will have to give up his house seat if he fails to establish an excuse for the banquet. Nearly 50 campaigners for Liberal Tomejiro Okubo also were arrested on charges of bribery. Okubo is one of the top aides of Ichiro Hatoyama, who wants to replace Shigeru Yoshi da as Liberal party president and Prime Minister. Find Lost Boy ScoutfUnharmed Red Bluff, Calif.
