McGovern list of contributors becomes fundraising tool
Democratic factions debate renting a 700000 name donor list built for George McGovern to liberal groups and magazines to raise 200000 to 250000 for McGovern’s 1974 South Dakota Senate bid. The list could fetch about 25000 if fully rented, with groups like ACLU NAACP and Common Cause already using it.

Wisconsin widow cites probate reform need amid estate drain
Mrs. Ben Schaefer, widow of a 1969 auto dealer, testified at a Milwaukee event urging probate reform after her husband’s $1 million estate, largely eaten by taxes and legal costs, has been tied up in court for three years. She noted 30 percent federal taxes, nine percent state taxes, and 10 percent in administration fees, with more than $10,000 spent on court actions and only about half the estate remaining.
