Kefauver Criticizes Nixon for Keeping Fund Secret BAN JOSE Estes Kefauver whose Senate committee Investigated the connection between crime and politics, says "there has been some corruption" in, the present administration.

"While there have been instances of corruption, they were the exception, rather than the rule," he said "Crime and corruption, are nonpartisan." However, Kefauver said he "wondered" why Sen.

Richard M. Nixon Republican vice presidential nominee, had not voluntarily disclosed the "novel method" he had used to supplement his Senate pay through an outside political fund. Kefauver pointed oat that Nixon had served as a member of tbe Senate Committee on Morals and Ethics in Government headed by Sen. Paul Douglas (D-IU.) One of tbe things the committee examined was the "low pay of public officials and methods that they used to supplement their income," Kefauver said. "Tour Sen.

Nixon was a member of that committee." Kefauver told his California audience. "After his own political innd was exposed, he said that it was no secret However, in discussing ways by which senators might supplement their income the committee apparently did not think of Sen. Nixon's novel method," Kefauver said. "I have wondered why he did not bring it up during their sessions." 16 COMMIE POW's INJURED IN RUCKUS PDSAN Communists prisoners of war on Koje Island were Injured, none seri- iously, when two platoons of South Korean troops bad to he called in to enforce an order Tuesday, the U.N.

Minor Wine Thomas, archaeologist for Colonial Williamsburg, knows can show you a 1790 "juke box" to prove his point The 1790 machine, a Clementi barrel organ. Is on display at the restored Raleigh Tavern in Williamsburg. After 1C2 years, this early American jnke box is slightly worn and Is not played for visitors it's still in good working order.

Top tunes of 1790 included "Irish Washerwoman," "Lady Miller's Reel" and "Money Musk." Fifty tunes are listed on the top trfthe barrel organ, which was band- cranked by an employee of the tavern. Thomas pointed out several refinements which today's jnke boxes lack. Among these is an impressive line of buttons, or slops, which gave various tone effects to tbe selection being played. Another refinement was the handsomely carved cabinet which boused the barrel organ. The restoration official lias another surprise for those who take pride in modern-day gadgets.

The forebear of today's cigarette machine was used by such men as Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry and others who came to the Raleigh Tavern. Tbe machine, a small brass box which contained pipe tobacco, was opened by placing a coin in a slot. The customer then filled his pipe with tobacco and was on his honor to take only one pipe-full. -For this reason, it was called an "honor box." Did Patrick Henry watch television?
