GOP Senator's Campaign Manager
Fined For Election Violations
BALTIMORE, June 5—(AP)—
Jon M. Jonkel, 35-year-old public
relations man from Chicago, was
fined '55,000 Monday for violating
Maryland’s election laws as cam
paign manager for Senator Butler
(R-Md).
Jonkel pleaded guilty to six
charges and was fined by Crimin
al Court Judge Joseph Sherbow.
The judge could have fined him a
total of ..6,000 and sentenced him
to 12 years in prison under Mary
land’s corrupt practices act.
Jonkel testified briefly and a
statement was read in his behalf
by his attorney, G. C. A. Ander
son. Both emphasized it had been
Jonkel’s first political campaign of
a statewide nature.
The violations occurred during
Butler’s eampaign against Millard
E. Tydings last year. Tydings,
Democratic senator for 24 years,
was beaten by 43,000 votes.
The lawyer said Jonkel had not
’expec’ted to be Butler’s campaign
manager.
“As the campaign advanced, no
cangpaign manager was formally
appointed and Jonkel by sheer
force of circumstances found him
self acting” as one. Anderson said.
Technical Violation
“The violation was a technical
wiolation,” Anderson continued.
“It was done without malice or
deliberation —it was the inadver- |
tent result of harried and unfortu
nate eircumstances.”
Judge Sherbow didn't agree en
drely.
“These violations are more —
much more—than mere technical
violations,” he said.
However, he said he was taking
ifnto consideration “the back
groud and record of the defend-

Jonkel was indicted May 2 on
six charges, three identical ones
for the primary and general elec
tions. They were that he failed
to keep required detailed accounts
of money handled by him, to re
port campaign finances properly
and on time, and was not a desig
nated political agent and resident
of Maryland.
The indictments grew out of
hearings by a senate elections
subcommittee on complaints by
Tydings of the conduct of Sena
tor Butler’s campaign. He charged
campaign funds handled “irreg
ularly” and that tactics were “un
fair.”
No Report Yet
The elections subcommittee
headed by Senator Monroney (D-
Okla) started hearings Feb. 20 and
‘they ran into April. No report has
been made yet.
During the hearings, Jonkel
filed a supplementary list of $27,-
100 in contributions. The Mary
land election law requires such
statements within 20 days after
the election. Senator Butler’s orig
inal campaign statement was filed
by his treasurer, Cornelius P.
Mundy, on Nov. 27.
Jonkel filed the supplementary
statement after Mundy refused to
do so because he had not handled
the money.
Jonkel told the senators he
“short-circuited” the funds to save
time under pressure of the cam
paign. He said he used the contri
butions to pay creditors directly
instead" of sending them through
Mundy.
State’s Attorney Anselm Hodaro
presented official testimony of the
Senate hearings to the grand jury
which returned the indictments,

AP Newsfeatures
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.-—
There are 203 persons here who
are immune to American laws and
taxes.
They are the diplomats and their
wives, representating 59 member
countries at the U. N., who enjoy
diplomatic immuity. This comes
from agreements among govern
ments to grant certain privileges
to each other’s diplomats.
U. S. representatives aboard
have the same rights granted here
to foreign diplomats.
..Among other things, U. N. dele
gates and. their. families pay no
American. taxes—not. .even. the
New York City sales tax. They
can’t be arrested. They travel
without visas and can bring
anything they like into the country
without customs peeking.
The. latest. State. Department
lists shows'that 50 of the 503
come from the Soviet Union and
its satellites—36 from Russia,
eight from Czechoslovakia and
six from Poland.
Nationalist China claims im
munity for 41 including the chief
of its delegation, Dr. T. F. Asiang,
who faces a trial for bigamy if his
immunity is ever withdrawn by
U. N. recognition of the Com
munist Chinese regime.
Britain has 34 persons enjoying
diplomatic immuity and France 32.
Paraguay has the fewest-—just two
persons.
The United States delegation,
which handles the problems of
the immune diplomats with Am
erican authorities, says it has few
difficulties except fixing traffic
tickets.
Russia, an American spokes
man said, is one of the few coun
tries that has never asked for help
in that line. Jacob A. Malik and
his subordinates just pay up.
The situation got so complicated
that about 18 months ago the New
York Police Department issued an
order forbidding officers to issue
summons for cars tagged “U. N.”
followed by a number under 300.
Instead the cop, when seeing one
of these cars doubleparked at
hydrant or speeding, files a formal
report with the department. |
If the chief inspector thinks the
case warrants it, he forwards the
report to the U. S. delegation
which takes the matter up with the
offender’s government on a diplo~-
matic level. |
To import liguar from home,
the diplomat notifies the U. S. |
delegation haw much, and what‘
kind, he wants. The delegtion no
tifies the State Department inw
Washington which tells the Treas
ury Department which then or
ders custom to let it out of the
bonded warehouse without pay
ment of duty.

fighting.
Acheson evidently changed no
senators’ minds by his opposition
to this program as one which
would give Russia a legal excuse
to intervent or by his long defense
of postwar administration foreign
policies in China.
He attributed Communist seizure
of China to an over-extension of
military forces on the part of Chi
ang Kai-shek, fplus Chiang’s failure
to institute reforms in his govern
ment.
Acheson denied that “Commun
ist sympathizers” in the State De
partment had any influence in
shaping U. S. China policy. He did
not defend a 1944 statement at
tributed to Henry A. Wallace, then
| Vice President, that Communists
| were loyal American citizens and,
| by the same token, should be loyal
Chinese citizens. |
He said Wallace'’s statement was
l “quite contrary to what was
| thought in the State Department
‘ and the Defense Department.”
