    "ocrText": "13\nPOLITICS\nMudd on CBS AM reported Senate will make 2nd try Tues. to\ncut off filibuster on campaign financing. If it fails it could try\nagain Wed, but after that bill would be dead. Some Senators are\ngoing on a junket and rest will leave for vacation. Also among the\nSens. who voted cloture last week, Russell Long, Church and\nMcGee will be away on Tues. and Dole is not firm about his previous\nvote. One Sen. said it was very frustrating as he feels the Senate has\nthe votes but it's hard to get them in same room at same time.\nTrib's Kohlmeier notes \"you've heard plenty about Stans, the\nman from CREEP who held the GOP money bag while fat cat\ncontributors tossed in hundreds of thousands of dollars. Well, meet\nStrauss, the man from CREED [Committee to Reelect a Dem Congress]\nwho held the Dems money bag and collected from some of the very\nsame business and labor fat cats Dem money remains the biggest\nuntold story of W'gate mess. 11 Kohlmeier reports CREED \"raised\n$628, 000\" for Dem Hill candidates in 172, and \"some of the money\ncame from sources that've proved embarrassing to GOPs. 11 Among\nthem: - Equity Funding head Goldblum, oil man Pauley, Henry Ford,\nCowboys owner Murchison. \"Little wonder Dems who control Hill\nhaven't produced any real political campaign reform legis, \" says\nKohlmeier. \"Dems are the foxes guarding the chicken coop. \"\nSperling notes a group of prominent Dems were discussing '76,\neliminating all nominees for 1 reason or another, til someone suggested\na Percy type: \"a lot of the Kennedy charisma --w/out the Kennedy\nproblems. 11 Sperling notes that for 8 years 1 veteran DC newsman has\nthought Percy should be a Dem based on his views. But Percy's not\nlikely to jump given Lindsay precedent \"and the less-than-enthusiastic\nwelcoming of JBC into GOP. \" He's convinced his \"progressive\nRepublicanism\" might just be just what GOP wants in '76. He can point\nto his own 172 victory -- greater than RN's -- as his credentials. And\nhe's convinced that if nominated, he'd win.\n#####"
