Labor unions gave $200,000 to Hoosier congress candidates

By RANDY FITZGERALD The Mail-Journal's Washington Bureau WASHINGTON - There are strong undercurrents of discontent in Indiana And organized labor, more than any other special interest, most effectively inflamed and harnessed those passions in last week's election, heavily financing in surgent campaigns that toppled five incumbent , Republican congressmen from power A mimumum of $200,000 in labor union money flowed into the campaign coffers of Sen Birch Bayh and the eight Democratic House candidates backed by organized labor Only four were incumbents, and all nine laborbacked candidates won. most by

overwhelming margins. The only other individual special interest that came close to matching the labor contributions was the American Medical Association, whose state and national political arms donated at least SBO,OOO to six Republican congressional and Senate candidates. All but two lost Undoubtedly, the faverite issue of labor unions — the economy — was on the minds of most voters this year. A responsive chord had been struck. Not since the recession of 1958 — when six GOP congressmen lost — have five or more incumbent congressmen in Indiana been guillotined at the polls With only one exception, every one of the five Republican House

losers this year had a Democratic opponent receiving $12,000 or more in labor contributions that were being used to publicize through every available media outlet the Republican record on the economy. It was a record which few Republicans could be anything other than defensive about. The exception was David Evans in the Sixth District, who obtained little more than $2,000 from labor unions in a race most had predicted he would lose to entrenched conservative Rep. William Bray. Labor union political committees pumped at least $15,000 into the campaign organization that Democrat Floyd Fithian used to annihilate staunch Nixonsupporter Rep. Earl Landgrebe.

R-2d. Fithian won by 30,000 votes. Another $14,000 went to Philip Sharp who upset House Judiciary Committee member Rep. David Dennis. R-lOth; at least $12,000 was donated to Andrew Jacobs who beat Rep. Wil”am Hudnut. R-llth, in a rematen from two years ago; and a minimum of SIO,OOO was contributed to Philip Hayes, who toppled from office Rep Roger Zion. R-Bth. Bayh. one of the best friends labor has in the Senate, was rewarded with at least $120,000 in labor money The United Auto Workers political action fund gave him $33,000 while the Retail Clerks Active Ballot Club pitched in another $19,000. The man whose political ambitions Bayh and the labor unions scuttled. Indianapolis Mayor

Richard Lugar, got huge contributions from business special interest groups. Because of the intricate campaign committee setup he employed, no one is quite sure just how much money he spent. Bitt the AMA alone contributed some SIB,OOO to his losing cause and national GOP campaign committees gave at least $50,000. It is known that the Indiana State Republican Central Committee had some $1.6 million on hand to spend, most of it earmarked for the Senate race. AMA money was also generously allotted to six Republican House candidates, four of them incumbents who lost. These include Landgrebe. SIO,OOO. Hudnut. $17,000; Dennis, $8,000; Rep. Elwood Hillis, R-sth. $9,000; Zion. $3,000; and Rep John Myers. R-7th. $3,000. Those who received the least amount of labor money were those who either needed it the least or were deemed to be beyond help The only Democratic in-

cumbent thought to be in a close race, Rep. Edward Roush, D-4th. overcame a strong campaign by Republican Walter Helmke with some $15,000 in labor union contributions. Popular literal Rep. John Brademas, E-3d. raised nearly 520.000 from labor unions and outspent his opponent, Virginia Black, by at least eight-to-one. Among late contributions listed by both Senate candidates in reports on file with the Secretary of the Senate, is a $5,000 donation received four days before the election by the Lugar cam|>aign from the Bulen and Caston* law firm in Indianapolis. Keith Bulen is a GOP national committeeman who owns and runs Campaign Communicators, a firm handling the Lugar campaign's media needs. Hoosiers for Birch Bayh reported numerous large donations from out of state, including $2,500 from investor John Factor of Los Angeles and $2,000 from investor Larry Weinberg of Beverly Hills, Calif.
