Friends Chip In $17,000 to ‘Help’ Nixon

By PETER EDSON

the U. 8. Senate in 1951. Over the past two years these contributions have amounted to a p proximately $17,000. ’ Mr. Nixon gave this correspondent details of the financing and asserted he had nothing to hide. He said Dana Smith, a Pasadena, Cal, attorney, collects and disburses the fund and is the only man who knows the hames of all the contributors. It was Mr. Smith's idea, to keep him free from financial pressure and outside influence. One of Mr. Nixon's principal reasons for allowing publication of this information at this time is to offset rumors about his finances that have been current ever since the Chicago Republican convention.

Lumberman Accused

Of Overcharging for Second-Grade Timber

By United Press

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18—T. Lamar Caudle testified today that Tom C. Clark instructed him in 1944 to drop an OPA case against a wealthy lumber dealer after the Justice

Department had ordered him to prosecute it.

Mr. Clark, later to become Attorney General and Supreme Court Justice, was then head of the Justice Department's Criminal Division. Mr. Caudle, ousted last fall as the government's chief tax prosecutor, also linked Sen. Clyde R. Hoey (D. N. C.), with the 1944 case. Mr. Caudle said he was a U, 8.
