OREGON PAGE NINE California Demo Head Maps Plan Of Attack For Upcoming Battle SACRAMENTO (AP)-"Attack" that's the campaign strategy edvocated by the new chairman of the Democratic Party in Cali fornia. William Rosenthal, 50-year-old Los Angeles attorney and former state assemhlyman, told the Dem-I ocratic state convention the Dem ocrats won't win by counter punching. "Our tactic must be one of at tack." he said. "We must attack them for everything they say and for everything they fail to say." He cautioned delegates: "We are faced with a campaign which DAV Fund Raising Efforts Hit Sharply By Committee WASHINGTON (AP)-A House1 committee wants laws to protect the public from what it termed unscrupulous professional fund raisers who have collected dona tions in the name of some veter ans groups. In a report charging that the public has been fleeced in some fund drives, the House Veterans Committee said: "It is doubtful that the American public would be as liberal in support of some fund-raising programs of veter ans' organizations if they knew that such a small percentage of the contributions were used for charitable purposes." The committee recommended that Congress pass legislation to: 1. Require that at least 50 per TV Quiz Show LONDON (API A storm was blowing up today over the future of a teacup-size island off the rugged coast of northern Scotland. The island of Stroma a tiny rtrip of Britain in the Pentland Firth inhabited by 18 people has been bought by a Columbia Broadcasting System, program. It is to be given away as a prize on the television show Bid V Buy. But on Saturday, members of Caithness County Council ordered County Clerk J. L. Russell to probe the sale. ' Stroma lies two miles off the Caithness coast opposite Queen Mother Elizabeth's castle of Mey. Councilman J. Arbrach, Mackay, 83, who has taken a special inter est in the island, said he wanted to know what right the owner had to sell without the council's con sent. Mackay maintained the island should not be sold to anyone far less an alien without first con sulting the council. He suggested they should ap proach the secretary of state for Scotland and the Lord Lyon King of Arms, the arbiter of Scottish heraldry, to block the deal. ' The present laird of Stroma is a Sassenach umbrella maker, John C. Hoyland, who has visited the island on several occasions but does not live there. He unsuccessfully offered the is land for sale two years ago for 12.000 pounds ($33.600. Bid 'n Buy reportedly agreed to pay 8, 500 pounds ($23,8001. Whoever wins Stroma will get about 1,000 rocky, windswept acres, a church, a school, a light house, a newly built $92,000 har bor and about 50 cottages, most ot them occupied only by hun dreds of seabirds. cent of gross income from unor dered merchandise sent through the mails be spent for the veter ans in whose names it is solicited. 2. Prohibit those who use the mails for charity drives from sell ing mailing lists of people who contributed. 3. Require fuller disclosure of organizations chartered by Con gress or organizations mailing un ordered items such as ball point pens with the aim of collecting money in the name of veterans The committee report summed up findings of hearings last spring on eight veterans' organizations- four of them chartered by Con gress and four not chartered. Of these, the committee particu larly criticized two the Disabled American Veterans, a chartered group, and the now defunct Na tional Assn. of Veterans Employ ment Councils, which was un- n I I .1 chartered. Knvc Iclrtnn Tne rcprt said the dav' UUjw UIUIIU which gets most of its money tion tags, spent $312,000 of its funds collected for veterans on a speculative television program that flopped. And the report said the DAV spent more than $50,000 from 1950 to 1957 for gifts, most ot which it said were bought by DAV Nation al Adjutant Vivian D. Corbly from supply company in which he owned stock. This, the committee said, "ap pears to be a clear conflict of interest." There were repdrts an attempl will be made to unseat Corbly at the DAV national convention open ing today in Louisville, Ky. William N. Morton of Cincinnati. who said he spoke for Cincinnati's convention delegation, said his group will spearhead the ouster move. Morton said the DAV "is being wrongfully harmed and misjudged by the controlled acts of the na tional adjutant. Of NAVEC. the committee re port said the group's executive di rector, Harold A. Keats, rented buildings he owned to the organ ization; that he got money through expenses and per diem payments and that other ' NAVEC board members "also enjoyed extremely liberal expense accounts. Of the other chartered groups the committee said: If found only occasional fund raising abuses by local American Legion posts and that this was problem for the legion itself. The Veterans of Foreign Wars buddy poppy campaign was basi cally locally conducted. The American Veterans s of World War II has insufficient na tional control over fund raising by state departments, but that the fund raising was deemed limited Of the other nonchartered groups, the committee said the Blinded Veterans Assn. and the .lowUh War Veterans wpre not SHIRTLESS COLLIE cpplina rinnatinnc nnhlirlv now DALLAS (API W.

"If raising campaign more closely. 1 get overneaiea i can always go to Alaska or take off my shirt. will be marked by Republican recklessness, distortion of the truth and unusual verbal violence." Rosenthal, outgoing vice chair man who swapped jobs with chairman Roger Kent of Marin County, summed up the party's weekend state convention: "We have not dodged a single issue. The people know whera we stand." The Democrats came out against the three leading initiatives on the November ballot. They are Props. 16, parochial school taxes: 17. sales-income tax revision, and 18, "right-to-work." Republicans, meeting a week earlier, decided not to take any position on the three measures. Atty. Gen. Edmund G. Brown, Democratic candidate for gover nor, advocated opposition to the initiatives and he said the con vention responded "specifically and vigorously." "This is in sharp contrast to the maneuvers of the senator (Sen. Knowland) that forced his party to remain silent on the three key measures before the voters," Brown said. The two-day convention turned out to be as harmonious as ad vertised, except for a brief flurry over Prop. 17. State AFL spokesmen tried un successfully to defeat the resolu tion opposing the labor-sponsored measure to cut the sales tax from 3 to 2 per cent and put a heavier income tax on higher brackets. Foes of No. 17 argued this is no time to reduce revenues when the state faces a deficit of 200 mil lion dollars or more by next year. (abor did all right on the Dam ocratic state platform, however. Delegates wrote in planks sup porting the union shop, urging re peal of the Taft-Hartley Act, favoring fair employment prac tices legislation and a strong civil rights program. Then, too, the platform calls for upward revision of state person al and corporate income taxes as well as the lowering and eventual abolition of the 'sales tax. Fine said.

"We stood with labor where we thought it was being unfairly at tacked by Prop. 18 (right-to-worki, he said. "We stand inde pendent of them on Prop, 17. which we believe amounts to fis cal irresponsibility." Other resolutions condemned at tempts to curb the Supreme Court's appellate powers, urged adoption of "more humane pro cedures" in the deportation of aliens, commended the Supreme Court's loyalty oath decision and assailed the California Medical Assn.'s stand against the state's new medical care program.
