f In the Day's News Br FRANK JENKINS As this is written (on the morning of election day) the news is concerned largely with what might be called the debris of the political cam paign that came to a close Monday night . . . who said what and what effect it might have on the balloting . . . the estimates of the poll-takers and are they accurate or griev ously off base ... how much money was spent ... and so on. The news this morning is the small talk that intervenes between the ending of the campaign h o op 1 a and the counting of the votes. ' ' ' "A"- TRIBUNE. Mrifcrf, fa,.. Thuirfn. Nwmfcf . ItSt S "JIi v joHHNsoN's Chili Con Carne IITHO got what note: " Reports from Washing ton this morning indicate .that In the final days of the cam paign Republican contributors showered down more gener ously than Democratic pun gle-uppers. Final pre-election statements filed 'With the clerk of the house of repre sentatives reveal that in the eight days between Oct. 21 and Oct. 29 the Republican national committee got $166,- 525. It included 61 contribu tions of $1,000 or more. In that period the committee spent $138,062. In the five-day period be tween Oct. 24 and Oct. 29, the Democratic national "com mittee got $23,328. Its biggest check was for $500 and there was only one check of any where near that size. Remember, that is only a quickie report covering a pe riod of 10 days. HMMMMM. Who got what, when you come right down to it, isn't as important as WHERE IT CAME FROM. 1 I have a pious notion that it doesn't make too much dif ference how much money is spent in a political campaign if the public knows where it came from and where it went. If one side is spending too much-and if it comes from questionable sources, meaning sources that I will have an ax to grind when the time comes -the public will be likely to take that into consideration when the time comes to vote. ANOTHER interesting side light has to do with what people are voting on over the country as a whole. " For example: . Colorado' is voting on legal bingo and raffles for churches and charitable groups. Ne braska is voting on legalizing bingo in private clubs. Utah voters will decide today whether to allow pari-mutuel betting on horse races. (If so, a lot of the betting money will probably go to good causes such as county fairs, and so on.) INTERESTING question: is gambling morally - OK when the, proceeds of it are used for highly moral pur poses? The prevailing impression seems to be that it is. I wonder. POLITICAL campaigns are big shows. There seems to be little doubt that the public LOVES them. i Bulk of Estate Goes To Charity Los Angeles -IEPD- Mrs. Car rie Estelle Doheny left the bulk of her $25 million estate to charity, it was revealed Wednesday. Mrs. Doheny, widow of oil man Edward L. Doheny, died last week at the age of 83. She left about $15 million to the Carrie Estelle Doheny Foundation, a charitable or ganization she founded in 1949. Nearly $2 million went : to Roman Catholic and non-Catholic, organizations and be quests of up to $75,000 went to employees, friends and rel atives. Eagle Pass in the Kamloops area of British Columbia was discovered in 1865 by Walter Moberly, watching the flight of eagles.
