Simpson, chair man of the House Republican Campaign Committee, said to day he will accept contro versial Texas campaign funds even though the White House rejects the money. Simpson said he had not been offered any proceeds from a $100,000 political din ner in Houston Monday. But he told the United Press "so far as I am concerned, I will accept" a contribution from "the great state of Texas and the Republican Finance Com mittee there." Morse Says Bill Dead In the Senate, Sen.; Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) claimed the controversy had killed off the pending natural gas bill. He said Republicans and Demo crats alike "will say this is just too stinking for us." The $100,000 campaign kitty was raised at a $100 per plate "appreciation" dinner in Houston for House Republi can Leader Joseph W. Martin Jr. (Mass.). In Independence, Kan., Sen. Andrew F. Schoeppel (R Kan.), chairman of the Sen ate Republican Campaign Committee, like Simpson, said he "would accept funds from the state Republican Finance Committee of Texas if those funds were sent to my committee." Alcorn Backed However, Schoeppel empha sized that he had said noth ing about accepting any of the "proceeds of the Houston din ner as such." The White House backed National Republican Chair man Meade Alcorn in turning down the money after publi cation of a promotional letter from H. J. (Jack) Porter, Texas GOP national commit teeman, implying that a heavy turnout would encourage Mar tin in his fight for the gas bill.
