100 Men in Congress
Have Private Funds,
Republican Declares
BY the Associated Press

| YONKERS. N. Y, Sept. a.
Representative Gwinn, Republic
Jean. of New York, says he be-
llieves at least 100 members of
Congress have used privately do
mated funds to carry on their
political battles.
Mr.. Gwinn, who represents the
9th Congressional District, made
his remark last night In replying
to a statement by his Democratic
Liberal opponent, George A. Bren-
ner. that he received $500 a month
for writing articles for the Com
Imittee for Constitutional Govern
|ment.
Mr.. Gwinn, a New York lawyer,
Isaid he had received $1,000 to So
1000 in 1850 and 1851 from the
COMMITTEE to assemble. write and
distribute a weekly column for
40 to 80 weekly and daily news
papers throughout the country,
None Of the money was for. his
personal benefit, he asserted.
The committee: with Offices In
New York. is a non-political edu-
cational organization which car
|ries on research in constitutional
matters. It distributes material
in the form of news letters.
Mr.. Gwinn also defendned the
$4,000 privately subscribed fund
Iof Senator Nixon.
Stating that he believed at
least 100 Congress members re-
ceived funds from private sources
to carry on their political battles,
Mr.. Gwinn said it was "out-
Irageous" for the Democratic adj
ministration. with $4,000 ."propa-
gandists" in its service, to oppose
such activities. The Republicans,
he said, have no appropriations"
with which to fight their political
wars

Identity Of Donors
Unknown to Recipients

No official knew the source Of
the money he received, nor any
donor to my campaign fund the
identity of the officials to whom
gifts were made.
Nor. so far as I know, did any
official know which others were
aided in this manner or In what
amount.
I believe this practice has
helped to secure for the State
government of Illinois the serv.
ices Of some officials who are. I
believe. equal in competence, in
tegrity and official loyalty to
any officials In the Federal or In
any other State governments. I
am extremely proud Of them.
In making this statement I
want to take the opportunity of
calling attention to one of the

Salaries Increased
From 81, 900 to $4,000

I hope this discussion will
focus public attention on this
problem at all levels of govern
ment. I don't know the best
method to deal with it except to
pay higher salaries and / have
succeeded in increasing the SAL
aries of department heads in
Illinois from $1,000 when I took
Office to $4,000. commencing
next January.
But uniform salary scales in
government are never as salts
factory or equitable as the fiex-
Utility in private employment
because. or course, the response
bility and work loads vary
greatly from position to posi-
ton.
Under my practice, the finan-
cial sacrifices of few were
somewhat reduced without Gre
ating any sense Of obligation to
any one.

0AL1lMOfLE, Sept. Z4s-f0L-
loioing is the tert OF part OF
Cor. SteUenson's talk today
about a special fund he created
in Illinois to supplement the
pay OF some State officials. The
Governor had said 1t ,Dds diff
cult to lure men into public
jobs from higher saldried posts
in priuate enterprise.
With this in mind I initiated
a study of some permanent and
systematic means by which the
compensation of key officials
might be supplemented.
We studied the possibility Of
gifts by publci-spirited citizens
directly to the State or to a
foundation created for the ben
eft Of the State with a view to
raising the income level of key
official positions.
This plan was finally ahan-
doned as impracticable.
Therefore, I adopted the prac-
tice Of making gifts, usually
around Christmas time, to a
small number Of key employees
who We're making sacrifices to
stay in the State government.
These gifts were made out of the
balance which remained in my
campaign fund when I took
office, supplemented by addi-
tions contributed to that fund.

UsDA Urges
AlertIleSS

IN THE EVENT of full-scale
war involving the United States,
one of the targets of an enemy's
sabotage efforts might well be farm
production. The welfare of the
nation is dependent upon much of
farm produce: meat, milk and eggs,
for example, and wool, cotton,
leather and linen, food crops, medi-
cines and helpful drugs. Disrupting
that production would be a logical
aim.
Therefore, the USDA believes, as
long as introduction or spread Of
diseases, insects and other pests
through our agriculture is a pos
sibility, those in agriculture must
be prepared with a defense against
them.
The problem is potentially great,
the USDA points out. The fact
that our crops and livestock are
healthy and productive makes them

were in operation, according to fig
ures of the state highway patrol
which now inspects all buses for
safety conditions. In 1948, there were
4O9. During the same school year,
the total number of students given
transportation for service in lieu Of
school in one form or another was
28,695. The total cost of transporta-
ton, borne by the state, county and
district, has increased from $26,636
in 1914 to $2,O82,927 in 1850.
State Helps Financially
a new state school finance law
enacted in 1949 has done a great deal
to relieve the burden on local rural
school districts and to enable them
to support better schools. Under the
old law, most of these rural districts
would get from 5000 to $40O on the
basis of teacher-unit. Now, they
receive all the way from 500 to
$1,000 for a one-room rural school
depending on the financial ability
of the local district as shown by
taxable valuation
This assistance has helped rural
schools make tremendous progress.
Most of them now have electric
lights; many have clean and eff
cient heat. Still, only 68 have inside
plumbing. The majority have excel
lent facilities as far as desks, text
books and supplies are concerned, an
efficient library, modern visual edu-
cation equipment, a fine school lunch
program and excellent teachers.
BasicalIy, though, these improve
ments must be credited to the Local
citizens who realize the value oi
education and have done something
in their own communities to make
their educational facilities better.

pests. The mobility of our live
stock industry makes it possible
for damaging animal disease,
once introduced, to spread rapidly
throughout the country if not de-
tected Immediately.
Introduce New Diseases
New and injurious insects and
plant diseases could be introduced
to cut down production of essential
food, feed and fiber crops while. at
the same time, diseases and insects
already present in this country, but
limited to small areas, could be pur-
posely spread.
Cereal rusts, several varieties of
willis and blights, potato wart and
pink bollworm are examples Of
theseand foot-and-mouth disease,
rinderpest, fowl plague and Asiatic
or other virulent types of Newcastle
disease are examples of foreign
amman diseases.
However, the USDA says, good
organization and plan for defense
can materially reduce the hazards
Of this type Of attack. And that
defense is already mostly set-up:
Beginning with border inspectors
at every border, sea and air port,
carrying through to the trained pro-
fessiona1 USDA employees, live
stock sanitary officials and practic-
ing veterinarians and to the pro-
ducers themselves.
It is the producers, the USDA
says, who can provide a fundamen-
tai part of that defense by giving
extra and continued attention to
some well-known practices of plant
and animal husbandry that have
been proven through the years-but
are even more important in times
of emergency.
What You Can Do
Tho USDA asks that every farm
er and rancher:
Learn as much as possible
about the diseases, insects and other
pests that might appear.
Keep a careful watch over
livestock and crops and report any
unusual disease, insect or other
pest, or any unusual increase in the
occurrence of familiar types.
3-Give extra attention to ap
proved measures of sanitation anc
disease prevention in herds anc
flocIs.
4-Iso1ate sick animals; dispos,
properly of those that die of disease
5-Be sure additions to the here

ognized tests are made; isolat

auctions and the like until DANCE

proved methods

Mainstays of the apostolate are
