Nixon Defends Funding Scrutiny Amid Campaign Row
Republican vice presidential candidate Senator Richard Nixon rejects Democratic charges of moral wrong in accepting 16100 from wealthy supporters. He calls the accusation a typical left wing smear and vows to keep exposing those who sell the country down the river as he campaigns in the West. Dana C. C. Smith, a Pasadena tax attorney, says he helped raise the fund because the 2500 government allowance is insufficient for a California-scale senate office. Nixon earns 512500 yearly salary plus expense accounts and staff costs, with Eisenhower remaining silent on the issue. The matter clouds Nixon’s run mate position. Omaha comments from Eisenhower dignitaries suggest split views within the campaign. Page 2.

Cite Figures Urge Cnts In Local Budgets
Milwaukee directors of the Public Expenditure Survey of Wisconsin urged reductions in 1953 budgets as local government spending neared 511 million, noting a 120 percent rise since 1935. They cited a 51.1 percent rise in Milwaukee city price index and a 72.5 percent jump in construction costs, arguing aid and shared taxes failed to curb property taxes and fueled operating-cost-driven revenue needs.
