Other expenditures included $2,804.15 for "rent" (presum¬ ably office space and hotel lodgings); $1,431.8? for general "ex¬ penses", and $1,059 for "postage". Of course, some of this was un¬ doubtedly an advance investment aimed at the final election and was justified by the fact that Capehart faces the political battle of his life.
Most modest entry in Homer's campaign report was $2.50 for "repairs". Indiana Democratic leaders are speculating that this was used to mend "one little political fence" somewhere in the State.
(Editor's Note: When an Indiana newspaper recently printed the story that Capehart ‘s renomination, unopposed, cost $91|600 in his primary campaign, the following denial was made:
"This, of course, was an unfortunate newspaper story be¬ cause the Citizens Committee for Capehart, I doubt very, very much, spent even $1,000.00 in renominating Homer Capehart, but they did spend about $90,000.00 doing what the Republican State Committee should have done and would have done, if they had had the money.
"What the Citizens Committee for Capehart really did and spent their money doing was general publicity for the entire Repub¬ lican ticket, and for good American Government.
"For example, they mailed out over a million pieces of literature, not about Homer Capehart directly or indirectly, but covering many subjects in respect to good government and the trend in this country toward Socialism.
"The Committee also paid for — I think it was some twenty 15-minute radio programs on twenty-three stations, which cost an average of about $1,200.00 a week; and there wasn’t a single men¬ tion of Homer Capehart1 s name in any of the programs, but rather it was a program warning the people of Socialism.
"The Committee also paid for syndicated news stories in ninety Indiana papers each week for twenty-nine weeks which papers had a total circulation of about two million.
"The Committee also, of course, paid for broadcasting the seven Capehart-Jacobs debates over twenty stations for seven nights straight.
"Therefore, none of the money was spent for Capehart 's renomination, but for general publicity for the Party.
Boost To FM Seen In 10$a TV Tax
( "Variety" )
Virtual certainty that television sets will be taxed 10^ under the new revenue bill may give FM a big boost. Imposition of the tax (on the manufacturers' price) is expected to encourage set makers to include FM reception, which can be added at small cost and which may be offered as an attraction to overcome buyer resist¬ ance to the higher tag for TV receivers.
