There has been no decline in
contributions to the G. o. p.
The Republican National Com

has received $4,000 more in

not been able to match the up
surge in Democratic giving,
which has almost doubled its
1857 pace.
Labor Aids Democrats
The strengthened position of
the union political treasures
also will benefit Democrats in
1860. Through the years labor
unions have given more than
80 per cent of their campaign
contributions to Democratic
candidates.
Reports from Is labor politi-
cal committees showed total
receipts of $139,547 for the first
five months of 1859, compared
to $70,249 for the same months

Iraqi Premier Abdel Karin

Press reports in the two

had been killed. Latest reports
reaching Beirut, the capital of
Lebanon, estimated so were
killed.
The British Ambassador in
Baghdad, Sir Humphrey IRE
velyan, arrived in London last
night for a conference. A
British source said it was not
likely Sir Humphrey would
have left Baghdad if he be-
lieved serious trouble was
continuing.

commander in Kirkuk, an oil
center in northeastern Iraq. He

They cover the period from
January through May of this
year.
The roundup also showed
that twice as much money has
gone into organized labor's po-
litical treasury in the first five
months of 1859 as in the CON-
parable period of 1857, the last
previous non-election year.
Five Democratic committees
reported total receipts of $764,-

The Democratic National
Committee alone received $74l,-

National Committee had an in
come of only $333,222.
Trend Reversed
Congressional Quarterly rec
ordS indicate this is the first
year since l949 that the Demo-
Gratis have received more funds
than the G. o. P.
The revival of optimism over
Democratic chances for victory
in 1860 is the clear reason for
the party'S Frightening finan-
cial picture. A Democratic Ma
tional Committee spokesman
said the sweeping Democratic
victory in l958-like President
Truman's upset win in 1913
had pried open a lot of closed
checkbookS.
The Republican disadvantage
in actual operating funds is
smaller than these figures
would indicate. Much of the
money Democrats have COL
lected is being used to retire
