Democratic Ads To Appeal For 72 Funds
A Democratic National Committee plan to raise funds with a full page ad targets readers in major cities including New York and Los Angeles. The effort aims to pay down the 1968 debt and fund the 1972 campaign, with donors offered up to a $12.50 per person credit or a $50 per person tax deduction. Strauss, the party treasurer since 1970, says the plan involves coordination with AT&T and a major oil company, and expects about $45,000 for the initial ads and outreach.
