Poor Man's” Campaign Costs
ik k
elauver $230,000, He Says
BY PETER EDSON
. NEA Washington Correspondent
CHICAGO.—( NEA) —Denying charges by mril
lionaire Senator Bob Kerr of Oklahoma that he has
spent more money than any other candidate for the
Democratic presidential nomination, Senator Estes
Kefauver asserts that he has really been running a
poor man’s campaign.
Kefauver headquarters here in Chicago produces
figures to show that the total cost of the senator’s
campaign will be about $250,000. This includes
about s4oyooo to cover Chicago convention costs.
This $250,000 figure represents only a fourth of
the million dollar spent to get General Dwight
Eisenhowegy the Republican nomination for the
presidency.
Senator Kefauver is the first of the candidates,
either RepubMcan or Democratic, to come forward
with enythiemg like a complete breakdown on his
prinmary campaign expenses to get the nomination.
The lavish expenses by the Eisenhower and Taft
organizations created something of a national scan
dal, They have resulted in some demand for a con
gressional investigation of primary campaign ex
penditures, which are now outside the law.
Senator Kefauver has spent about $17,000 of his
own money to get the nomination. He has had to go
into debt to ¢o this. After his crime investigations
closed, the senator made a number of speeches for
which he was paid. Also he got about $25,000 gross
from the sale of his book on the crime probe.
CONDUCTED PRIMARIES IN 16 STATES
After Senator Kefauver formally announced his
candidacy last January, however, he had to start
speaking fer free. In the past six months he has
campaigned in all 48 states and conducted primary
campaigns in 15. .
He hag traveled 115,000 miles, most of it by air.
A plane was chartered from a Miami, Florida, firm,
but part of the air travel has been in a private
plane placed at his disposal from a pool operated
by the LeTourneau interests and Longview, Texas,
publisher Carl Estes.
About $160,000 of the Kefauver finances were
raised by the senator’s original Tennessee backers.
Nathan Straus, New York investment banker who
has served as Kefauver's finance director, raised
much of the non-Tennessee money.
Kefauver @inners proved to be the most profit
able source of campaign money in Tennessee and
elsewhere. Four dinners in Tennessee raised $43,000.
Prices rangec all the way from $25 a plate down to
a $1.75 hamburger luncheon which netted a sl-a
--plate profit.
Glenn Rull, a Kappa Sig fraternity brother of the
senator, pronoted one of these luncheons every
week in Washington, But the best money raiser was
the senator himself, His presence at a money-rais
ing dinner assured its success.
MEMBERSHIP CARDS NETTED §20,000
On a still smaller scale, Kefauver Financier's
Club membership cards sold at a dollar apiece,
netted $20,000. Half the money was retained by the
local organization and half went to national head
quarters in Washington,
The Washington headquarters had a maximum of
168 workers, three-fourths of whomr were volun
teers. In Chicago for the convention are 25 key paid
workers plus 56 volunteer clerks and stenographers
and 500 volunteer workers from the 48 states, pay
ing their own expenses. But the staff admits that in
Chicago, they can spend all they can raise.
Kefauver bought no radio time and practically
no newspaper advertising space. But he chiseled a
lot of time on the air on quiz and forum programs,
making about 20 appearances.
In the state primary campaigns, Kefauver ex
penses are listed like this: New Hampshire, about
$2,000 for postage and radio spot recordings. Wis
consin expenses of about SI,OOO were underwritten
by the state organization. Nebraska expenses were
budgeted at $2,500 but ran to $4,000, mostly for
telephone calis.
In this campaign some $90,000 were spent on be
half of Senator Kerr.
In Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland and New
Jersey, Kefauver spent a day in each state and the
local Democratic machines gave him no help, He
didn’t go into Pennsylvania but ran up a printing
bill of $250. Florida, where he spent $5,000 and
California, where he spent $4,000, were his most
expensive state campaigns.
Senator Taft is the man Stalin would like to see
President of the U. S—. Averell Harriman, Demo
cratic presidential candidate.
We must be ready with a positive program to
prevent depressions. They hit us in the past when
political leaders were saying they had prosperity
nailed to the mast.—Senator Estes Kefauver,
We (Democratic Party) see human rights as a
matter of principle and stand four-square on them.

~ TV Holds Great Poenfial
olds Great Pofential
As Educational Medium
ucational Medium -
" The Federal Communications Commission has
wisely assigned 242 television chénnels in this
country for the exclusive use of non-commercial,
educational broadcasting.
President Truman said the commission’s action
was the most important in its history.
To appreciate just how important it was, one
needs only to reflect a bit on the enormous poten-<
tial of TV as an educational medium.
Stations devoted entirely to the dissemination of
culture and education can bring into the living
rooms and class rooms of the nation the finest of
our teachers, artists, philosophers, physicians and
leaders in all fields.
Subjects whose dullness has put untold millions
of school children to sleep through the ages, can
become vividly alive through TV’s clear witchery.
The 30 million grown ups now taking some kind
of adult education are a ready and waiting audi
ence for educational television.
The need for programs produced specifically for
these groups is all too apparent to a television
viewer surfeited with the many inanities and worse
which now crowd the programs on commercial TV
stations.
In fact, many parents consider commercial sta
tlon programming so bad for children that they
have refused to have a television set in the house.
Those parents are almost sure-fire buyers of sets
if they know solid, high-level educational programs
will be available for the kiddies.
To date applications have been made for only
eight educational stations. The prospective locations
are Miami, Fla.; Manhatian, Kan.; San Francisco,
Calit, and Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse,
and New York City, in New York state.
The New York state government has said it in
tends to file applications with the FCC in the im
mediate future for five additional stations to com
plete a state-wide, educational TV network.
But elsewhere in the country progress is much
toe slow. Frieda Hennock, FCC commissioner,
blames “lack of information, inertia, vague educa
tional fears about entering a new field, the resist
ance of vested interests, pressures of those selfish
interests who would profit by education’s failure.”
But one new and happy note is ahead. As an in
centive to educational institutions to build stations
the Emerson Radio and Phonograph Corporation
has set up a fund of SIOO,OOO. It will be divided in
SIO,OOO grants to the first 10 educational licencees
to begin regular operations on the reserved chan
nels.
That is indeed a far-sighted and public-spirited
action. It would be heartening to see the rest of the
television industry contribute to the Emerson plan.
Failure to build a significant number of educa
tional TV stations would, in the words of Miss
Hennock, “represent a tragic wastage of our nat
ional strength and well being.”
Women and Autos
Because women are said to influence 80 percent
of motor car sales the automobile of the future will
be designed, so far as finish and appearance are
concerned, to meet feminine endorsement. Engi
neers say Americans virtually live in their cars, and
for that reason they demand living-room comfort in
their vehicles as well as lines and colors that are
pleasing to the eye, inside and out.
Interiors, it is predicted will not only contain
air conditioning in the future, but also every facil
ity for milady’s convenience, including complete
makeup necessities, an array of mirrors, and a
backseat telephone.
Coloring is headed for changes, it is further pre
dicted. Glaring reds and blues will be passe. In
stead cars of the future will have soft two-tone
pastel shades, with upholstery following popular
colors in fashionable clothes for the particular sea
son. And it is feared the selection in this respect
must be so varied Mrs. Jones doesn’t have to be
seen driving a car sim§lar to that of Mrs. Brown.
Mechanically, cars of the future will be more
perfect than they are now. They will be virtually
foolproof. It wouldn’t do for Mrs. Hightone to be
seen stalled in a motor car all dolled up for her own
satisfaction. The women are speaking, and the mo
tor car world is listening.
Broom At The Masthead
While Gotham was knocking itself out over the
record-breaking trip of the surerliner United
States, another ship was being unofficially crowned
“queen of the plodders.” It appears that a new ship
slipped up the Delaware River a day or so ago, un
tended and unsung, after making a trans-Atlantic
speed record for ships of her own class.
Soon after July 4, while the United States was
slipping eastward at speeds of 36 knots and better,
the new motor vessel Delos, a Swedish ship out of
Helsingborg, was sailing the great circle route
westward. Seas, according to the skipper, were as
“calm as the Delaware River,” for the most part.
At times he logged 17.3 knots. All told he averaged
16, and reached Delaware Breakwater in 10 days
flat.
The Delos appears to be a tremendously efficient
cargo carrier. If she is the first of a whole class of
fast foreign registry cargo carriers, the U. S. mer
chant marine will be placed at a greater disadvan=
tage than ever in competing for shipping.
It is not revealed whether the Delos carried a
broom at her masthead when she passed up the
Relaware River to Camdem. The broom is symbolic
& a clean sweep, usually of a speed record. But a
droom would have been appropriate.
This (Newport, Arkansas) happens to be the
first whistle stop of 1952. There are going to be a
lot more of them.—President Truman.

Pennslyvania Trys To Win Back
Share Of Lucrative Shad Industry
AP Newsfeatures
HARRISBURG, Pa. — Pennsy
lvania is trying to win back part
of its one-time millior-dollar shad
industry by offering a unique fish
taxi service around three huge
power dams.
“Operation shad” is an exper
ement hatched up by Pennsyivania
Fish Commission to see if the
valuable food fish can still live
in their old mnatural spawning
grounds—the headwaters of the
Susquehama River.
A hundred years ago the annual
spring shad run‘’in the Susque
hama River from the Chesapeake
Bay was one of the largest fish
migrations in America. Construc
tion of the first dam 40 years ago
ended that.

possible to make ‘Mr. Shad’
change his living habits and
propagate in the Susquehama
instead of heading again for salt
water,” said Charles A. French,
state fish commissioner.
So far, there have been reports
that some of the 4,000 tagged
fish used in the experiment al
ready have been found down
stream from the dams.
“lI don’'t know how it's pos
sible unless they swam right
through the turbine intakes,”
French said.
It the shad insist on finding
their why through or over the
dam going downstream, French
explained, some way must be
found to bring them back up each
spring. In that case, there is a
possibility the “shad taxies”
could be made a permanent opera
tion.
The fish used in the experiment
were netted in the Chesapeake,
hauled in special tank trucks to
a destination upstream from the
dam and released. The tank
about 20 fish each trip. The shad

used ranged in, size from 17 to
22 inches | antd weighed between
215 tv 4 pounds.
Gordon L. Trembley, chief
acquatic biologist for the commis
sion, explained that the taxi sys
tem is an extremely delicate
operation.
Temperature Must Be Right
“The temperature of the water
where the fish are netted, in the
tank trucks and at the destination
must all correspond or the fish
will die,” he said.
The commission is primarily
anxious to learn whether the
temperature and waterlife of the
Susquehama is still acceptable
to the shad. The commonwealth
is in the midst of a mult-million
dollar clean streams program
aimed at ending pollution.
Trembley said the commission
working with fisheries biologists
of the U. S. Wildlife Service, will
make surveys later this summer
among commercial fishermen in
the Chesapeake to find out how
many of the tagged adult shad
survive.
“This will be some barometer
of the program,” he said.
If the shad taxis prove too ex
pensive or unworkable, the only
other way of getting the fish up
past the dams is the construction
of special fishways - mechanical
devices which permit the shad to
climb over or around the dams.
Two fishways constructed at
the Holtwood Dam prior to 1915
proved susuccessful. Newer
types, such as used for salmon
on the Columbia River may cost
more than the shad program is
worth, French added. |
Athens Benefifs
From Increased
Social Security
About 5,300 people in the Ath
ens area will receive higher social
security payments as a result of
the social security amendments
which President Truman signed
into law last Friday. The first in
creased checks will be for Sep
tember, delivered early in Octo
ber.
A. B. Cochran, manager of the
Athens social security office, em
phasized that no one needs to ap
ply for the increased payments.
“The Social Security Administra
tion is already changing the
amounts,” he pointed out. “We
expect to get them changed in
time to have them in the mail
October 3, the regular delivery
date, but if in a few cases we
don’t meet that schedule we’ll send
the regular check and make up the
difference in a later check.”
Amount of the increase for a
retired worker will range from
$5.00 to $8.60 wit hthe average
about $6.00. Where several mem
bers of a family are receiving
payments, the total increase to the
family can be as much as $18.90.
A few benefits now being paid,
and most of those payable in the
future, will be based on earnings
after 1950 instead of after 1936.
The amended law provides a new
formula for determining the
amount of the payments in these
cases. Under it, a retired worker’s
monthly benefit would be 55 per
cent of the first SIOO of his aver
age monthly earnings plus 15 per
cent of the remainder up to S3OO.
Beginning September 1, the new
law increased to $75 a month in
stead of SSO the amount of money
a beneficiary may earn and still
beneficiaries aged 75 or over al-
