Parties to Seek Small Donations WASHINGTON The Republican and Democratic national committees are opening grass roots fund drives aimed at collecting small campaign contributions from millions of voters. The Democrats will use spot television announcements soliciting "small contributions from the rank and file of the party." They will give the drive trial run today over TV stations in Des Moines, and Dayton, Ohio. The Republicans said their drive will be conducted from door to door by an army of women volunteers. The drive--based on the theme "Thank you, Mr. be held in most states in April.

Announcement of the drives last night apparently ended any possibility of a joint Republican-Democrat effort to promote rank-and- file donations. Such a program was proposed by publisher Philip L. Graham of the Washington Post and Times, Herald and others. Graham had suggested that the Advertising Council, a public service organization, conduct an educational program to persuade voters to contribute small amounts to the party of their choice. The idea was to eliminate the dependence of parties and elections candidates on big contributions from a comparatively few individuals who might have special axes to grnd.

Interest in the proposal was heightened by the current Senate investigations of lobbying and "campaign contributions." Both Democratic National Chairman Paul M. Butler and GOP National Chairman Leonard W. Hall originally endorsed the plan. But the Republicans later said they were unable to get men of comparable rank to-serve with Democrats to take part in the program. The Democratic committee said it had "hoped" the Advertising Council would conduct the campaign.

But it said the Republicans "refused to participate" because they already have "raised $5 million from large contributors."
