SlOIldl CAIN pdlSH.
Of SO political committees which
reported to Congress, 27 listed among
their receipts contributions of $1,000
or more from one or more indi-
viduals.
Summarized, these reports show
that Republican groups took in ST.
434,084.30 from 73s contributors,
while Democratic groups collected
$418,900 from 244 contributions of
900 or more.
In practice, there is no limit to the
amount an individual may contribute
to political campaigns. The Hatch
Political Activities Act imposes linn
it of $4,000, but this is interpreted to
govern only the amount that may be
given to one candidates or one com
mittee. Moreover, wealthy families
may distribute their contributions
among various members of the fam
lily.
FAMILIAR NAMES TOP LIST
According to the committee reports
studied by CO, 10 members of the
Rockefeller family gave an aggregate
of 100000 to various Republican
campaign groups.
Fourteen persons from Delaware
bearing the name of DUPONT gave
$51, 500 to COP groups.

lone similarity, the DemocfaClc
Digest points out, "is the rapt atten-
ton most commentators are devoting
to the public opinion polls, which
show that very large percentage of
the people still think kindly of the
President, but which admittedly do
not purport to bridge the gap be-
tween liking Ike and voting for
another four years of Ike and Re
publican government. These, incl
dentally, are the same opinion polls
that knew positively that Dewey was
going to be elected before the people
knew it themselves
Another striking parallel with 1948
is the prevailing opinion that the
Democrats lack issues that will have
a decisively popular appeal in the
1856 campaign. "This was also the
popular view in 1885," the article
adds.
Discussing issues that were de-
cisive in 1913 and issues that may
have large bearing on the 1856
outcome, the Democratic Digest con-
cludes that the most striking parallel
between the two campaigns is the
way in which the various questions
add up to the overriding issue "of
government for the few VS.. govern
ment for the many"
RICH MANS TAX BILL
"The Republican rich mans tax
bill became a major issue in the
1948 campaign" and the same issue
has been even more sharply defined
in the disputes over this administra-
tons tax relief measures" the Demo-
cratic Digest asserts.
NThe farm vote is most often cred
tied with defeating Mr.. Dewey and
electing Mr.. Truman" the magazine
adds. The issue then was over the
Republican 80th Congress failure to
provide authority for the added grain
storage facilities which were needed
to get price support loans. Today, the
magazine notes, there is widespread
protest over the administrations flex-
ible price support program and de-
clining farm income.
In 1948, one OF the principal issues
was the Taft-Hartley Labor Law
which the COP 80th Congress en-
acted. Today, the Democratic Digest

The Whaling Museum was once
a sperm oil candle factory. The
building now contains precious
documents. tools and relics of the
years when Nantucket supplied
the world with sperm oil for its
lamps.
Nantucket was settled by Quak-
ers, so, of course, there is a
charming and simple Friends
Meeting House.
The old Jail, happily no longer
in use, is another of the islands s
historical landmarks. Others are
the Rotch Ware h ouse; the

Then there are picturesque
Communities with such names

On Negro history, Professor

tributions of all races" provoked
considerable discussion. Clarence
Wilson thought that IF Negro
history is taught, the white stu
dent will understand the Negro
students better. Some prejudice
will be eliminated by the teaching
of Negro history Peggy Williams
