NEA Service Staff Writer.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The dam
w ger Of tainted money" filthy
lucre," in politics never was real
lied more keenly than at present,
when the reasons behind large
gifts of cash to party campaign
funds are being laid bare for public
inspection.
The natural reaction is to make
both old parties exceedingly wary
of how and from whom they obtain
contributions" this year. Perhaps
later, when the furry of the pres
ent investigations has passed, and
the need for cash is more pressing,
the disinterestedness of each dollar
will not be so closely watched. But
for the present, in both Republican
and Democratic camps, no dollars
from other than the most patriotic
and antiseptic sources need apply.
In the Democratic outfit, Chair.
man Cordell Hull has even gone so
far as to have made up n financial
blacklist-a list of persons and in
terests who are under no circum.
otbilSCo " NC pei IliilNCO, illuNli
invited, to contribute to Democ-
racy's cause this year. Already at
least two sizeable contributions
have been rejected. Although not
apparent to the naked eye, each
was suspected of having strings
attached in the way Of favors to
be sought in case of Democratic
victory.
In the same way, Chairman
Adams is reported to be censoring
the sources of Republican revenue.
If this aversion to the dollars Of
the rich and powerful continues,
many millionaires will be unable
to make their usual deduction on
their income tax reports under the
head of contributions" And Con-
gress may have to enact financial
anti-blacllist bill.

USE RADIO TO
LOCATE LOST
ARCTIC PARTY
Three Stations Will Make Eff
fort to Get in Touch with
Nutting Expedition

Pittsburgh, Pa, Dec. 29.-An ef-
fort will be made tonight by three
American radio stations to get in
touch with members of the Nutting
expedition, lost in the Arctic wastes
for four month.
Stations kDKA, East Pittsburgh;
WBZ, Springfield, Mass, and KYW,
Chicago, will radiocast special
message, addressed to inhabitants OF
the Arctic region, asking for news
OF the Inflated expedition.
The Nutting expedition, organized
by William Nutting to follow the
course taken by the vikings in their
daring ventures to the North Amer
lean continent, left Denmark on
September 8, bound for Battle Har-
Dor, Labrador. Nutting was accom-
panied by Arthur Hildebrand, John
Todahl and Mr.. Fleischer. Their
ship, Lief Ericsson, has not been
heard of since it passed the south
ern Greenland coast.
Government cruisers and airplanes
have conducted fruitless search
for the expedition.
The effort to obtain news of Nut
ting and his party was deferred un-
til this time, when trappers from the
remote regions make their pilgrim
ages to the trading stations. 1t is
hoped that these posts, equipped
with wireless receiving sets. will
communicate the message to the
trappers, who may have some word
of the lost men.
