O O O oo o o o o o o G3 SIXTEEN MEDFOHD (OBEGOW) Sharp Contrast Seen in Contributions to Morse, McKay By A. ROBERT SMITH g Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington . The political campaign contribution reports for Sen. Wayne Morse, Demo- c r a t. and Douglas Mc Kay, Republi cs, are good illustrations of the old politi-' cal sayina, "If you want to know where a politician stands, look at Bnfat SitilU the source of his campaign funds. In reports that have been filed with Congress under the federal corrupt practices act for these two Oregon senatorial candi dates, one finds a sharp contrast between the largest sources of V lf fj .

Not counting the big sums being dumped into both war chests by the Republican and Democratic campaign commit tees located here, it can be said that generally Morse has re ceived the heftiest chunk of his money from organized labor and that McKay's biggest contribu tions have come from business management. Gather Fundi The laws on the federal sta tute books say that labor unions themselves and corporations themselves cannot make politi cal contributions but this doesn't seem to handicap either side from gathering funds for their respective political favor ites.

Ex ecutives in business firms give freely of their money, often in major contributions, to candi dates they feel represent their point of view. , In many political campaigns for seats in Congress, labor and business are backing opposing candidates, simply because every seat in either House or Senate represents a potential vote on such proposals as the Taft-Hartley labor act, which are fighting issues to business and labor in terests. But the contrast in the Morse McKay contest is much more striking than usual perhaps because members of these two economic groups feel more in tense about the seat that is at stake in Oregon. Morse has al ways been a champion of or ganized labor and was deeply involved in many Senate battles over labor legislation back in the days when he had a seat on the Senate Labor . Committee. The same labor grtups have jumped on McKay every time they thought Ihey had some reason to be critical of his attitude to ward their objectives. Business Advocate On the other hand, McKay has always been a staunch advocate of business being as unfettered of government controls as possible, an attitude which is dear to the hearts of many members of the industrial management side. Morse, especially in recent years, has been a frequent critic of the operations of big business in this country. Reports now on file with Con gress show that Morse has re ceived good sized sums from the major union groups: $12,000 from the AFL-CIO Political Edu cation Committee; $5,000 from United Steelworkers of America; $5,000 from Railway Labor's Po litical League: and $300 from Trainmen's Political Education League. More from these and other labor groups may show up before the campaign has con cluded. McKay's List McKay's list of contributors reads like Who's Who in the in dustrial world. The largest was from Mrs. Joan Whitney Payson of New York for $3,000. She is the wife of Charles Shipman Payson, chairman of the board of Armco Steel, a director in Tidelands Oil Corp. and several other large firms. Others were for $1,500 from the head of Republic Steel, Charles M. White of Cleveland; $2,500 from the head of Anglo Lautaro Nitrate Co., Harry F. Guggenheim of New York; $2, 000 from president of Darling Stores, Maxwell H. Gluck of New York; and amounts ranging between $100 and $500 from Henry R. Luce, head of Time Life, Inc.; Philip D. Reed, head of General Electric; E. D. Slater, head of Seagrams; R. Stanley Dollar, head of Dollar Steam ship line; George R. Wallace, head of Fitchburg Paper Co.; Randolph Sevier, head of Mat son Navigation Co.; Conrad N. Hilton, the hotel magnate, among many others.

Then if we are still alive we shall try to get into Austria, because with God's help we want to be there when Hungary fights the Russians again." Nunley Reviews Term Of Office in Address Ashland District Attorney Walter Nunley reviewed his term of office and answered criti cisms of his work during an ad dress at Southern Oregon college assembly here last week. He said the so-called "Cating report," which has been the sub ject of controversy during the present campaign, was a study of criminal and law enforcement conditions in the county, under taken as a direct result of a grand jury recommendation. The budget committee voted S3, 600 for the study, of which $800 was not spent and was returned to the general fund. The investigator, who had many years of experience, brought in a report of value to law enforcement in the county, Nunley said, but of a type which would lose its value if made public. A limited number of peo ple in the county, including 18 leading churchmen, know its contents, and have endorsed its objectives, he said. Nunley pointed out that he was one of 20 members of a Bar Association committee making salary recommendations for dis trict attorneys and judges, and that the committee recommen dations have been "used" to make it appear he is seeking only a raise in his own salary. Food, Blankets Sent To Hungary by CARE Seattle Food and blankets are being rushed to Hungarian refugees by CARE, the foreign relief agency, according to word received here at the Northwest CARE office frorri New York headquarters. CARE representatives over seas report Hungarian refugees are fleeing across the Austrian border at the rate of 200 to 300 a day. To meet emergency needs, CARE has transferred five tons of food from its stockpiles in Yugoslavia. These are $10 bulk food packages of 53 pounds each, containing flour, sugar, rice and coffee. Additional shipments of blan kets started today to the emer gency area. Contributions in any amount to help cover costs of this relief program may be sent to the Northwest CARE office, Frederick & Nelson, Seattle. . As to DAs engaging in private practice, he said his own views are well known, and are that DAs should be free to devote full time to public service. 'Little Value' Referring to the recent Bar association poll, which favored his opponent, Nunley pointed out that it was a simple prefer-, ential poll, without any state ment as to why the individuals felt as they did, and therefore had little value as a true indica tion of the feelings of the at torneys involved. Tape recorders in his office, which have been criticized, Nun ley said are legitimate and valu able law enforcement equip ment, in general use throughout the country. He said its use is perfectly lawful and ethical. If it were not, he said he would be subject to both criminal action and Bar association disciplinary action, and the fact that this has not been done should speak louder than the criticisms voiced against him.
