Mutual Fund Owners
Increase Redemptions

NEW YORK, July 26 (AP).-
Purchases of mutual fund
shares during the first half of
the year ran about even with

members. In the first six
months of 1859 redemptions
totaled $42S million. Purchases
topped the $2.5 billion mark in
the full year of 1859.
The NAIC said that more
than 2 million investors hold
mutual fund shares in 1850, 900

Both presidential candidates are

industries are operating at little

housing starts for September fell

Last February the Senate passed
a bill that authorized $917 million
for the first year in Federal grants
to the States to be used either for
school construction or teachers
salaries. Current State school ex-
penditures show that approx
mately one-third on the average
is spent on buildings. On this
assumption. 1905 million would go
for construction under the Senate
proposal which is slightly less than
the amount approved by the House
in May for the same purpose. This

Based on prevailing sentiment
in the last Congress, the areas
which have the greatest need for
additional classrooms due to pres
ent shortages and population
growth and are least able to
finance school construction pro-
grams would probably receive
preference in ALLEGATION Of Fed

construction money would be d.

try where such a stimulus to the
economy would be most valuable.

Dollars as well as generalities
glitter in the running Of Presi-
dental election campaigns. Money
talks D realistic language in the
constantly increasing costs Of con-
tests for high Federal ONCE. But
the public accounting often sounds
as unrealistic as some stump
speeches.
Political contributions a n d
spending run into many millions.
Yet no one can say with certainty
how much the whole thing costs
from start to finish for ali candi-
dates for President, Vice President
and Congress.
Laws limit the amount an in
dividual can donate and the
amount q candidate or committee
can spend. Statutes also require
publication of financial reports to
q considerable extent.
But those laws themselves are
limited. Actual cash OUTLAWS and
contribution opportunities are I'M
questionably greater. Moreover.
many additional millions go into
State primary and national con-
vention races. These frequently
are difficult If not impossible to
trace and tally.
Total expenditures in behalf OF
Republican and Democratic can
didates for Federal offices in the
1856 election were estimated at
more than $48 million of which
about $33 million was described
as "direct expenditures"
This was based on reports filed
in accordance with law or obtained
from other sources. Senate Privi-
leges and Elections subcommittee
members and staff experts agree
the actual comprehensive cost sur
passed those figures.
Back Door Operations
It is not a matter Of suspected
fraud or back-door operations. It
is more often practical problem
Of inadequate or outmoded regu-
lations on Embarrassing expenses,
and q variety Of direct or in
direct financing methods. And. of
course. 1t does not include the vast
amount Of volunteer effort and
aid.
Present law allows each national
party committee to receive and
spend up to So million in a cal
endar year. Democratic and Re-
publican national chairman in
recent years told Congress that
such q ceiling is completely un-
realistic. They suggested maxi
NUNS ranging from So million to
SO million, with tighter restric-
tons and supervision for the over
all system.
There is no effective Federal

mately $3.5 billion on capital out
lay for public elementary and
secondary schools. If the Senate
bill had been enacted. the volume
Of school construction would prob
ably have increased almost 10
per cent
The Practical Effect
On the basis of the Senate
bill, what dent would $3O6 million
make on the Nations classroom
shortage?
Last fall the number Of class
looms built throughout the coun-
~ dropped 1900 or 1914 per cent
rJm the 1958-59 figure of 10000.
70 construct a classroom costs
$4,000. on the average. Therefore
1905 million of Federal funds
would result only in the construc-
ton of 1926 classrooms and thus
would not even make up the drop
suffered between the fall Of 1858
and a year ago. In other words.
even $9l7 million of Federal grants
to the States with the option of
using the money for either school
building or teachers salaries would
probably not reduce significantly
the tremendous accumulation of
classroom needs that has been
growing since the war.
Although construction figures
are not yet available for the last
IL months, reliable reports indi-
cate that there has been no APP
preciable acceleration in school
building. This condition is in line
with total construction figures

mittees can raise ana spend for
national ONCE candidates. al
though most States have corrupt
practices laws.
Citizens or volunteer commit
tees, labor groups and other or
CARNATIONS conform to certain re-
quirementS, especially II they OPP
crate in more than one State.
Labor political action groups,
for example, reported contribu-
tions of about $2.5 million in the
1856 campaign. Citizens for Ei-
Senhower- Nixon collected more
than SIG million and Volunteers
for Stevenson about $577 900. One
of the largest State political finan-
cial organizations. the United Re-
publican Finance Committee Of
New York. obtained STA million.
Some pending Limits
In the congressional election
field there are separate Repub-
lican and Democratic campaign
committees to raise money and
otherwise assist candidates. A
complicated section of the Fed
eral Corrupt Practices Act sets
a spending limit of SIS 900 for q
senatorial candidate and 5000
for a House candidate.
The law provides that unless a
State statute fixes lesser maxi
mum q candidate for the Senate
can spend up to $4,000 or an
amount equal to the sum obtained
by multiplying cents by the total
number of votes cast in the last
general election for all candidates
for the Office the candidate seeks,
but in no event exceeding $25,-
600 If a candidate for Senator
or 5000 If . candidate for Rep
reSentative.
The law is even more flexible
for the voter who wants to come
financially to the aid Of his party
or his favorite candidate.
No person can legally contrib
ute more than 5000 to a po-
litical committee. But he can
contribute that amount to almost
any number Of different State
and local committees or organi-
cations that are not branches Of
political committees. Thus. in
1856. q New York man reported
contributions totaling $4,000 to
eight different committees. Not
all such instances of political gen.
erosity are disclosed or could be
readily traced.
Candidates and committees are
required by Federal law to report
the names Of and amounts given
by individuals who contributed
500 or more. This includes can
didates for Congress. They like
wise must report expenditures.
The Federal filing requirement
does not extend to State and
local groups solely within a State.

In the political grassroots hun
dreds of battles are being waged
for seats In the House Of Repre-
sentatives with an intensity equal
to that Of the presidential race,
which so much overshadows them.
A careful study from q myriad
of sources indicates that the vote
in less than one-fourth of the 4S7
congressional districts will deter
mine control of the House. AL
though the full membership Of the
House is to be elected, the politi-
cal complexion and voting habits
OF most Of the districts follow his
toric patterns and their results can
be foretold with fair accuracy.
The total number Of districts
fall into one of three categories:
/. SAFE: Those which, over
the years, have rarely If ever de-
parted from their traditional party
afiliation in choosing a Repre-
sentative, and show little likeli-
hood Of doing so this year. The
least risky of all assumptions in
the usually hazardous field Of no.
litical prediction is that "The
Dutch will carry Holland"
Hence, these are classified as
safe for the party of their I'M
changing allegiance. There are
247 such districts and they are d.
vided into Democrats 173, Re-
publicans "A. (The Democratic
figure is bolstered. naturally, by
100 Southern and border State
districts.)
2. LEANING Those which nor
mally could be marked as safe for
one party or the other because. Of
past performance but which can
not be counted so this year be-
cause Of q variety Of factors, such
as retirement Of longtime inc1nl-

bentS, untried new faces among the
candidates, influence of the presi-
Dental contest, etc. Yet despite
these imponderables, these Gis-
tricts are not regarded as SUM-
GENTLY uncertain as to be classed
doubtful. The weight Of proba-
bility bears on their holding to
present party attachments.
This group includes SO seats
and divides IS Republican. q
Democratic.
3. DOUBTFUL: These were
either carried by slim percentage
margins in recent elections, or
tend to switch their biennial
choice between the parties, or.
are the scene Of unusually strong
contests indicating the possibility
of an upset.
These key districts, where the
struggle for control may be won
or lost, total 102-Scattered over
SO StateS-and comprise SO seats
now held by Democrats, 80 by Re-
publicans.
Thus the Democrats with 173
safe and AZ leaning districts for
a total Of 215 would appear to
be only four short of a bare ma
jority, PIG. But the Republicans.
on the other hand, are not quite
automatically foreclosed from a
victory. With q total of 100 safe
and leaning districts they could
still win by taking 90 of the 102
doubtful districts.
Recapitulated in table form
here is the picture Of the con-
gressional race as the November
