that the help given by Senator
Nixon,s Office to Dana Smith in
his taxscase could never have

had not headed the Nixon fund.
Quite possibly more publicity
on such arrangements will meet
much of;the problem. The &C.
counting now given by Senator
Nixon has plainly removed him
from the defensive positio n
which had troubled General Els

the Republicans. We hope that
there will also be a gain for pub.

The Nix0a Case

Senator Nixon's explanation Of
his special expense fund was q
tremendously effective and NOV
ing speech.

man fighting for his political life.
1t carried the emotional impact
of an unprecedented disclosure
of personal finances. 1t was doc

Millions of Americans mani

has given a satisfactory account

neither illegality nor wrongful
purpose in the fund, and in re-
futing unfair argos won
friends.
Some OF her citizens are not
completely satisfied. Without
questioning Senator Nixon's per-
sonal honesty, they would like
more information about the ma
ture of the fund-as they would
about one Stevenson fund. Such
citizens believe a good deal more
needs to be known about the ex-
ira expenses Of political leaders,
and that an attempt may usefully
be made to determine which are
legitimate and necessary and
which are not.
For instance. was Governor
Stevenson's b uy in g Christmas

Was Senator Nixon's sending out
of 20, 900 Christmas cards? The
Governor and the Senator both
say their funds were not secret,
but there was no general public
knowledge of them. Would COM

between public service and the

purpose. Senator Nixon has said
that he did not feel that some of
these expenses could be properly
charged to the taxpayers. This is
a laudable attitude and strikes
to the heart of a difficult prob

Really two questions are in

ers provide for the political ex-
