Alexander said. Alexander said he expected, funds designated by taxpayers! in the next two years will put' the campaign fund into operation in 1976. The fund will' become operable when it' reaches an amount equal to 15 cents for each American of voting age --a figure expected to be less than $50 million. He told the editors and publishers that the checkoff- was much more successful this year than last, due in large! part to news reports and editorials.

The commissioner also re( ported taxpayers have not been taking questionable deductions', or refusing to comply with income tax laws as result of the disclosure of President I Nixon's tax situation.
