Los Angeles attorney and former
state assemhlyman, told the Dem-I

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:

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:

Legion posts and that this was
problem for the legion itself.

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

November ballot. They are Props.

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.

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.

Brown, in a closing statement
Sunday night, said the actions
showed the Democratic Party to
be broadly representative and im
partial. "We stood with labor where we
thought it was being unfairly at

he said. "We stand inde
pendent of them on Prop, 17.

adoption of "more humane pro
