By LYLE C. WILSON J
United Press Correspondent j
Washington OJ.R) There is j
a stampede on in the Senate to i
line up on the side of righteous
ness and against corruption.
At least 62
$ r J
Wilson
senators have
signed up to
support a new
honest elec
tions bill which
doubtless will
i m p r ove the
system some,
but probably
not much. The
United States
election system was unintention
ally rigged to favor corrup
tion if by corruption is meant
the spending of money for which
no proper accounting ever is
made.
The new honest elections bill
grew' out of the offer of cash
contributions to the campaigns
of senators who favored the na
tural gas bill, which recently
passed Congress and died of
presidential veto. There is mor
tal fear on Capitol Hill that the
voters may have been aroused
by the gas bill episode. Angry
voters are likely to vote the ins
out.
Senate Democratic Leader
Lyndon B. Johnson recently
said something like this: You
will have to spur some to get
ahead of me in being for good
works and against corruption.
And that about adds it up.
Everybody is against corruption.
The senators stampede to be re
corded publicly against it, hop
ing the voters back home will
take note.
Overlapping Systtm
The United States election
system is rigged for overspend
ing and lax accounting by rea
son of the overlapping of cam
paign and spending efforts. In a
given county for example, there
usually are judges, county com
missioners and a sheriff to be
chosen. The county is part of a
congressional district , w h i c h
must select a congressman. As

Medford, Oregon
part of the state, the county
also may be voting for a United
States senator. The state legis
ture also may be on thfe ballot.
And if it is a presidential year,
the county voter is helping to
choose a president.
Each Spend Independently
The major candidates have
their own campaign managers,
each operating and spending
somewhat independently of all
others. The national congres
sional and senatorial campaign
committee have funds for inde
pendent spending. At the top of
the heap are the national com
mittees with large sums to
spread around. State commit
tees,- likewise, put some money
out. And there are numerous in
dividuals who put discreet
thousands here and there.
No single individual or com
mittee in either party is respon
sible for all money raising or
spending. That is the fact upon
which previous honest elections
bills have floundered. There is
no. doubt , that the new bill will
I pass. But there is much doubt
1. that it will do the job.
i Simpler System in Britain
I The British have a simpler,
j elections system. There are no
j sideshow, diversions to. the elec-,
I tion of members of Parliament.
; The British Representations of
I the People acts passed in 1948
and 1949 are effective. A' candi
date must not treat a voter to a
campaign beer or cigar. A can
didate would be disqualified if
he had advanced a loan to a vot
er within six .months prior to an
election.
Your neighbor may take 'his
family to- the polls in , his car,
but he may not offer you.a lift,.
A candidate may register for
taking persons . to the . polling
place, one car for each 2,500
city voters or one for each.' 1 ,
500 rural voters. If a registered
car breaks down on polling day
; it mayrnot be replaced.
Responsible Agent
Each candidate has a respon
sible agent who may. be pun
ished if the election rules are
broken. The agent usually is' a
skilled accountant and a gradu
ate of an elections campaign
school. The agent is personally
responsible for assuring that the
candidate spends no more than
$280 of his. own funds.
The agent may spend rough
ly between $1,600 and $1,800.
depending on the constituency
and that is all.
The British enforce all of this,
too.
'Costly Errors' Seen
In Navy, Demon Planes
Washington (U.R) House in
vestigators charged today that
the Navy's $500,000,000 Demon
fighter program "failed because
of "costly errors" committed by
McDonnell . Aircraft, . Westing
house Electric, and the Navy.
A House .Government Opera
tions Subcommittee reported
that four test pilots were killed
trying to fly the. Demons. It said
the planes were unfit because of
inadequately -powered jet en
gines. Nearly 300 of the planes were
built at a cost of $2,600,000 each'.
Of the first 60 produced, the sub
committee said, 56 will ; neyef
fly. And four are refitted with
more powerful engines. And an
other 220 planes, it said, "have
; not yet been tested in fleet use
! and now or soon may be obsolete."

i ed today on the question of ac-!
