In neighboring Virginia, Re-
publicans are outspending the
Democrats. b..
Campaign contribution re-
ports fled this week in Con-
gress seem to illustrate the ap-
parent strategy Of national
Democratic leaders to protect
Maryland and Of their Re-
publican counterparts to in
crease their strength in North
ern Virginia.
Representative Foley, Demo-
cratic incumbent in Maryland's
9Th district, tops the contribu-
tions list Of either party in re-
ports to date. Final. reports
will be fled after the election
Tuesday.
Committee Report

mittee reported receipts of
$21 $50 and Mr.. Foley himself
reported $500. From the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee
in Montgomery County came
$4,000.
Among some $50 individual
contributors was House Speaker
Sam Rayburn, who gave Mr..
Foley $3.50 in an unusual ges-
ture to a freshman Congress-
man.
Republican sentative

10th district seat since he was
swept into Office in the Eisen-
hover victory Of 1852, is the
leader in Virginia. He has re-
ported $10.654 in contributions

opponent, Charles (Mac) Ma
thias, jr., Republican, reported

indicate the total campaign
costs, likely to run close to $780,

didates. their supporters said.

ally are incomplete. Also, the
source Of contributions is diff
cult to trace because commit

or groups remaining anony-
nous, for instance.
