Just one 8IaryIander gave Up-T- H
Shriver. The Pennsylvania, list doesn't
include the names of either National
Committeeman Kerr or former Commit
teeman Guffey. Neither Senator from
Alabama. Arkansas. Florida. Georgia.
Kentucky, L0uisiana, North Carolina
Tennessee. or Texas appears as q con-
-ribuLor- Senator owen OF Oklahoma,
and Senator TIIIman OF South Carolina
seem TO be the only Senator's who have
separated themselves from their money.
