Newspaper Page TextM B WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 7, 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON any Candidates Get Around Reports on Campaign Expenses By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Waihlngton Correspondent Washington -(Special)- A candidate for Congress in Con necticut has filed a financial campaign re port under the JT " corrupt tices act which reveals lerthe r prac- " 1 which K ' that Vwi npaign , I J (mil e x penditures included $175 to Old McDon ald's Farm of Norwalk for "use of elephant." Besides revealing that Dan iel Reinhardsen Jr. thought the beastly symbol of his par ty would be helpful if paraded in the flesh, his listing of it illustrates that he took seri ously the federal requirement of corrupt practices act that candidates for Congress dis close where they got their money and how they have been spending It to Influence the voters. Many other candidates this year were not so faithful to the spirit or intent of the law designed to let voters know before they vote something about the sources of the candi dates' money and the amounts being spent. A spot check of reports filed by candidates in a number of states from coast to coast shows that a good many have played hide and seek with the voters. Party affiliation has noth ing to do with the way indi vidual candidates responded to the law which requires that they file with the clerk of the House or the secretary of the Senate "a correct and itemized account of each con tribution received by him or by any person for him with his knowledge or consent, from any source, in aid or support of his candidacy for election, or for the purpose of influencing the result of the election, together with the name of the person who has made such contribution; (and) a correct and itemized account of each expenditure made by him or by any person for him . . . (etc.)." No Contribution! In Massachusetts, for exam ple, the Democratic senatorial candidate, Edward (Ted) Ken nedy, has filed a report which states he received no contri butions and spent nothing. Presumably the President's brother isn't anxious to reveal before election day the amount he is really spending, for po litical observers report that from all outward signs it looks like at least a million dollar effort. In Pennsylvania, the Rcpub lican senatorial candidate, Rep. James Van Zandt, has also filed a blank report which claims his only expenditure was a $50 filing fee, which he needn't have reported under the law. Presumably Con gressman Van Zandt would just as soon not reveal where his money is coming from and in what amounts; but his leadership in the fight against the Hanford atomic power re actor bill, which the private electric and coal lobbies tried hard to kill, would make Van Zandt's financial books of his campaign interesting reading. In both these states, the rival candidates have filed re ports which evidently make only partial disclosure. Re publican George Lodge re ports 59.387 in contributions and $3,500 in expenditures in Massachusetts; Demo cratic Sen. Joseph Clark listed about $30,000 in contributions but showed no expenditures in Pennsylvania. One well known senatorial candidate who made what ap pears to be a fairly candid re port is the Senate GOP lead er, Sen, Everett McKinlcy Dirksen. His report claimed about $112,000 in expendi tures. Curiously it listed only $50,225 In contributions. His challenger, Rep. Sidney Yates, listed only $15.2Bn in expendi tures and $21,398 in contribu tions. Candid Report The most candid report In the Northwest states, if not the whole nation, was filed by the Lutheran minister who challenged Sen. Warren G I.lagnuson (D Wash.). Richard G. Christensen filrd a list some 1.500 individual cimtnb utors whose gifts to his cam paign totaled $83,1(18 02. lie even identified one list as tl doctors who were backing I candidacy, perhaps In renrtion to Magnuson's support of Med iearc. Sen. Magnuson reported contributions of $40,312, in cluding $35,000 from the "Matfnuson Dinner Commit tee" yet that dinner raised about a quarter million dol lars from the sale of 2,786 tickets at $100 per head. In Oregon the GOP candi date, Sig Unander, filed a blank report similar to that of Kennedy and Van Zandt. The report of Sen. Wayne Morse claimed $45,121 but It failed to show some $20,000 which a number of national labor political action commit- Grange News Greenhorn Grange Yreka - A program and convention reports highlight ed the meeting of Greenhorn Grange for the booster night held recently in the Grange hall. Convention reports were given by District Deputy and Mrs. Vayne Ralston. Mr. and Mrs. Slvin Lewis, the Scott Valley Grange master and his wife; and Mrs. Ray Wheeler, wife of Greenhorn Grange master. District Dep uty Ralston was elected state Grange committeeman at the convention. Mrs. Joe Lewellyn, lecturer presented the following pro gram; skit, "Trip to the Fair,' by Gladys Washington and Frieda Iloskins; "Woodrats Musicale," by Mary Baum Vera Clements and daughters, Christina and Caroline, Lor- ena Michcls and daughter, Lee Ann, and Linda Hughes; accordion selection by Tommy Freeman; song, "Now the Day Is Over," by Ernie and Kim Dinner; songs, "Alice Blue Gown" and "Sail Along Silvery Moon." sung and whistled by Jerry Dittner, accompanied at the piano by Stan Gifford; piano solo by Stan Gifford, a visitor who is postmaster at Travis Air Force base, and two songs, by the audience with Mr. John Cawley as accompanist. A potluck supper was serv ed by Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Eastliek, chairmen; Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wallers, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Hagcdorn and Mr. and Mrs. Peter Vizzi. tees reported they put into Morse s campaign. In California the Democrat ic challenger, Richard Rich ards, filed a blank report. The GOP incumbpnl, Sen. Thomas II. Kuchel, reported $7,184 in contributions and the same amount In expenditures.. Candidates who dodge the intent of the law by filing blank or safely hedged reports usually defend this practice, as did Unander, on grounds that their funds were handled by a committee and under the law there is no require ment that an intrastate com mittee must file a financial report, only interstate com mittee must file. This loophole was not fore seen by the drafters of the corrupt practices act back in 1025 when it was enacted, so efforts have been made to plug up this loophole. The Senate most recently in 1060 passed a "clean elections" bill to tighten the corrupt prac tices act in several ways, in cluding a requirement that in trastate committees file finan cial reports. The House, how ever, failed to act on the bill, so this reform effort failed. Another reform envisioned in that bill was that campaign reports be filed with the clerk of the U. S. District Court where they would be open to inspection locally where the election campaign is being conducted. This might also offer hope for enforcement of the law's intent. Today the reports go to the clerk of the House and secre tary of the Senate, both of whom have a kind of court house politician's solicitude for the political safety of con gressional candidates. The cor rupt practices act carries stiff penalties up to two years in jail and $10,000 fine for willful violations. But it has become an established custom to violate its intent, and there ii no record of the clerk or the secretary recommending prosecution. I The only possible penalty today is indignant voter re action when the press fulfills its responsibility to report what the candidates are up to. Machinists Agree To Delay Boeing Strike Washlngton-JUPD-President Kennedy said Tuesday night the International Association of Machinists (AFL-CIO) had agreed to postpone a strike against the Boeing Co, at least until Jan. 15. The postponement will al low Boeing employees to vote on whether to have a union shop, one of the primary is-1 sues between the company and the union.
