THE CAPITAL JOURNAL' Section 1 Page 9 Core Proposes Firm Campaign Spending Curb W ould Put Limit of 20 Cents Per Voter on President Raee MAM OTP! P Salem, Oregon, Friday, March 1, 1957 ICE WASHINGTON UT) Sen. Gore m-Tcnnl today offered an elec tion reform bill lo fix presidential campaign spending limits at lev els he said were "realistic." The measure also would impose ftringent new rules on political contributions and set up strict re quirements fnr public disclosure both o( spending by parties and candidates and ot campaign gifts bv individuals. Core called it a tough bill to nieet a tough and difficult situation." In the last session bore was chairman of the Senate Elections subcommittee, which conducted a detailed investigation of the 1956 campaign. It reported political spending last year of $33,1115.725, and said the actual amount "far surpasses that figure." The basic new p-.wudential cam paign spending limit in the bill would be 20 cents multiplied by the number of popular votes in the preceding presidential elec tion. This would mean, for instance, (hat the candidates for president and vice president on a party ticket could spend something over 12 million dollars in I960 since the 1956 vote total was a little over 62 million. Half this total could be spent by national committees and the oiher half by state and local com mittees. The bill also would impose lim its on spending in primaries; there are none in this area now. A national committee support ing candidates seeking nomination for president or vice president would be allowed to spend half the amount it could spend for a candidate in the general election. The limitation on contributions would be $1,000 in any year by an individual on behalf of all candidates for federal office. And not more than $250 of this could go to candidates for the Senate and House outside the con tributors' home state. Individuals who spend or con tribute in excess of $500 in a year would be required to file reports with federal officials.
