For Royal Family

II. M. s. Britannia can rule

House Appropriations Com
mittee testimony on the foreign
aid bill disclosed yesterday a
question by Representative Gary,
Democrat, of Virginia, whether
the British budget allotted $93
million for a yacht for Queen
Elizabeth. Mr.. Gary noted that
President Eisenhower recently

yacht Williamsburg to save $685.

tions reported spending $185, 300
which did not go directly to con-
greSSional candidates.
Nineteen labor organizations
other than the 10 which reported
filled spending reports with the
House, but did not specify par
ticipation in the Congressional
contests.
New Mexico Inquiry.
More money was reported
spent in the Senatorial race in
Washington State in 1852 than
in any other Congressional con-
test, a total of $137,382.49. OF
this, $77,109.46 was spent on be-
half of the Republican candidate,
former Senator Cain, and $780,
273.03 for Senator Jackson,
Democrat, who won. In the
Maryland Senate race, $60,817.75
was reported spent for Republi-
can Senator Beall. and $23,31O
for his Democratic opponent,
George P. Mahoney.
One reason given for the
failure of the Senate Privileges
and Elections Subcommittee to
consider the amendment of the
corrupt practices laws is that
time Of the committee has been
consumed by an investigation of
the New Mexico Senatorial con-
test, with Maj. Gen. Pat Hurley,
Republican. contesting the re-
election of Senator Chavez
Democrat. The committee is
about to wind up its inquiry.
Unless strenuous effort is
made to get action on corrupt
practices legislation early next
year, nothing is likely to be done.
AS a matter of fact, in an elec-
tion year, members Of Congress
usually are reluctant to change
the rules Of the game. They have
been successful in winning elec-
ton under the old rules. and
know how.
