Drive to Educate Public
On Political Gifts Urged

CHICAGO, June 2 P.-Philip
L. Graham, Washington news
paper executive. proposed last
night a vast public service adj
vertising campaign to educate
citizens generally to the need of
contributing to political CAM
paigns.
He said this would create "the
most important political reform
of the century" by making can
didates for Office, in raising CAM
paign funds. less dependent on
criminal elements and favor
seekers.
Mr.. Graham, publisher Of the
washington Post and Times
Herald, said existing Federal
limitations on campaign SPEND
ing invite evasion and bold
faced, official lie" about cam
paign costs, and must be raised.
But he added, In an address
at the annual dinner Of the
School Of Business Of the UNI
yersity Of Chicago. even the
higher limits proposed in Sem
ate hearings in Washington win
still invite evasions by being
unrealistically low"
The major problem win re-
main even If the Senate Elec-
tions Subcommittee headed by
Senator Hennings. Democrat, Of
Missouri does. raise spending
limits considerably. he said.
Wants Base Broadened

said, is "how can we raise enough

has been easier to eliminate men
Of loyalty and skill. Two-thirds
Of the top experts in the two
most critical fields of American
diplomacy against Russia-Chin
and Germa many-have bee n
knocked out by the use Of
security"
George F. Kennan, principal
architect of the cold war and
Americas foremost expert on the
international Communist con-
spiracy, has said:
"As things stand today, can
see no reason why malicious
people should have any particu-
lar difficulty in rendering un-
available for service to this coun-
try almost any person whom
they select for this treatment.

NIT our politicians to run for
Office without becoming obli-
gated to corrupt and selfish
forces?"
The answer. he continued, lies
in broadening the base of con-
tributions by impressing on the
average person" his duty to con-
tribute to the party Of his choice.
Mr.. Graham cited q poll show
ing about is million families
might give SIS each to Q party
campaign. If asked. and said even
a fraction of that $50 million Of
new untainted money would
revolutionize American politics. I"
He suggested that the Adyer-
tising Council. a l1onprofit, nom
partisan group administering
public service advertising donated
by American business, could pro-
vide a practical means for con-
Quoting an educational campaign.
Through television, magazines.
radio, newspapers, billboards, car
cards-even match boxes-the
average decent American could
be reminded and reminded again
OF the Importance Of good gov
ernment," Mr.. Graham said.
The publisher declared the Ma
tion must end the fantastic sys-
tenn under which we treat our
politicians as unsavory characters
while at the same time we charge
them with preserving our very
civilization"
Mr.. Graham said the average
person defaults in his duties as
a citizen by not supporting the
party Of his preference, forcing
candidates to get campaign funds
from the underworld, special in
terest groups, and those hope
fuls" who contribute ir the ex-
pectation Of receiving high public
Office.
Cites Need for Money
so dominating is the need for
political money" Mr.. Graham
said, "that this form Of outright
sale Of positions of public trust
is universally accepted. 1t had to
be practiced by that old profess
sional, President Truman, and 1t
has also had to be practiced by
that idealistic amateur. Presi-
dent Eisenhower"
Mr.. Graham said present
spending limits OF $25, 900 for
Senate and $4,000 for House can
didates are patiently laughable"
when present-day costs are con-
sidered. He said there are
counties where even a sher-
ifs race costs from 10 to 20
times more than $25.000."

inside Russia are the various
Russian study centers at Ameri-
can Universities. From such
places come the Government ex-

Federal establishment. The main

At the same time, foreign ex.
pertS on Russia have trouble
coming to this county to tel
what they know. Within the last
two years a planned interna-
ticnal conference on Soviet af.
fairs was Cancelled when it was
realized that most of the for
etgn experts would have trouble
getting visas under the Walter
McCarran immigration Act, pre-
cisely because they were experts
on Russia.

and analyst Of Russian affairs

at. Mr.. Club submitted it as
evidence. 1t definitely disproved
the charge. A similar charge
against Mr.. Davies also was re-
futed with his own report, which
security officers had not looked
at at first.

curity at any cost has extended

free world appears to be her in
sistence that what exists in other
countries is nonexistent if 1t dis
agrees with Moscow policy.
Today some of this fatal
process has begun to weaken
American diplomacy.
An American Foreign Service
officer admits privately that
even though he is supposed to
be his Governments eyes and
ears near the Iron Curtain, he is
afraid to gain the confidence of
sources close to the Communists
for fear this might be used
against him in some future Sc
curity proceedings.
A career officer says he will no
longer recommend anything
contrary to the dominant policy
at home, even If what he sees
indicates the opposite.
Policemen Take Over
Louis j. Halle, until last Au-
gust a member of the State De-
partment policy planning staff,
has said:
"The Secretary Of State has,
In a few instances, at least, been
given dangerous advice that he
would not have been given If
these pressures had not existed.
Security officers read the
memoranda and make their own
judgment. BY these indirect
methods the policemen have
gained some control over Amer
ican foreign policy, a field in
which they have no competence"
Political police officers in the
State Department open personal
secret files of top diplomats to
read memoranda. 1t is the be-
lief of career officers that the
security officers are looking for
dangerous thoughts" True or
not, the experts whose opinions
are asked on serious problems,
believe it to be true.
Security officers also review
all policy advice sent in from
foreign missions, a fact well
known to men in the field.
Speaking from personal expert
ence one highly placed official
said:
1T Is amusing in a grim sort
Of way to see a good man de-
scribing a development with pre-
cision and skill and then finish
with a recommendation that it
is contrary to all the facts he
has just reported"
No Mischief Allowed
Another com mon practice
which has demoralized State
Department personnel is the
minute investigation into sex
lives of men whose jobs are
wanted.$ Few family men want
their early escapades to become
a matter of public debate. In
this way many top diplomats
have been dropped.
The sincerity of some Of these
Investigations was under doubt.
Suspicious were not allayed when
the Department Security Chief,
r. w. Scott Mcleod told an
audience, Sometimes it is ex-
tremely difficult to replace an
individual whose viewpoint does
not coincide with that of the
Republican Party"
Curious standards have been
used in judging highly special
lied work. John Carter Vincent
and John Patton Davies, jr.. two
of the country's top diplomatic
experts on China, were dismissed
after being accused of showing
''poor Judgment" in opinions they
had been asked for on Chinese
affairs. The board members who
decided the Judgment had been
poor had no experience in Chi
nese affairs.
The sincerity of charges has
been suspect on other grounds
Oliver Edmund Club, another
expert on China dropped by the
department, was once charged
by security officers of having
made a slightly pink" report
from Shanghai in 1898. The re-
port was in the official files
which. apparently. the security
officers had not bothered to lool

Chain Reaction
Wreck Involves
Six Automobiles
Woman Driver
Storts II All
At Wor9o Curve

When Mrs. Edna Phafland, of
Pleasant City, failed to have her
car under control, Friday even
ing, she started a chain reaction
collision that finally resulted in
six cars being involved.
Following the first chain
reaction wreck, Howard Helms,
Of Norwalk, came along at a
pretty good clip and the whole
thing happened all over again,
according to Sheriff Donald Con-
away.
The accidents occurred at 1l:l5
p. m. near the famous Wargo
turn, north of Belle Valley,
which has long been a "jinx" to
most out of the county drivers.
The car by car humping scene
opened something like this:
The vehicles were all travel
ing south following each other
very closely and chain reaction
collision began when Mrs. Edna
Phafland, %, Of Pleasant City,
failed to stop within the assured
clear distance. In her attempt to
stop. she swerved to the left,
unable to miss the car ahead
Of her owned and operated by
Howard Helms, 81, of Norwalk,
It resulted in a chain reaction
causing damage to three autos
in front of the Helm car.
Immediately following that
another vehicle driven by
Charles Lowe, SO, of East Cleve.
land, failed to stop within the
assured clear distance also strik-
ing the rear of the Helm vehicle
causing another chain reaction
to the same vehicles. Consider
able property damage was
caused to the Helm and Lowe
cars, but only minor damage tc
the other four cars.
Sheriff Conaway attributed
the accident due to the excessive
amount Of traffic travelling south
for the holiday weekend. He
also reported that there were nc
| personal injuries sustained from
the collision.
