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.
