The Boston Clone Friday, June 29. 1962 11 1 1 The Political Circuit Without Dough It's Just No Go By ROBERT HEALY Edward F. McLaughlin late a candidate for governor, found that money, or the lack of it, is the root of all evil in politics. The lieutenant governor's problem is lack of it, i 1 -I A DIVISION IS MANY MEN EIGHT THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED young men from Massachusetts cities and towns, who for 50 weeks of the year are busy in civilian occupations, become important parts of a great machine when they go to camp each year. SO IT IS AT CAMP DRUM in New York state now, where the 94th Infantry Division is drilling.

His current plans are for a two-year sabbatical, and like a good fighter who was just knocked out he talks about the comeback and another crack at the title. McLaughlin is going away mad.

He figures that Ted Kennedy Co. gave him the leg at the convention; that a lot of Beacon Hill pols whose HEALS! LI 'tllr 1 I 1 tV i I I vf 5 1 4 TANKMAN Sgt William Ahearn, Allston.

The most galling part of the whole show for, McLaughlin is that he is firmly convinced that for him, not Peabody, Gov. Volpe would have been a soft touch in the November election. The Democrats with bankrolls didn't quite buy this assessment.

This time of year they get like bookies they like sure things. When McLaughlin made the rounds they gave him the empty pocket routine. There has never been any doubt about the McLaughlin threat in the Peabody camp. Peabody was sure that the lieutenant governor would not be able to raise the money. Chub was so confident that he would have no fight with McLaughlin (he may have one with Registrar of Motor Vehicles Clement A.

Riley) that he took off on a camping trip in search of Massachusetts voters in the state parks. Convinced that there were none in the state parks, Chub returned to his natural surroundings this week with a case of poison ivy but content at the thought that his camping trip will be recorded in a national magazine. Now that McLaughlin is out of the race it is best to forget the hypothesis and talk about money. If McLaughlin got into the fight with Peabody it would have cost him a minimum of $150,000 to run iv Ttffi rrn j-; r-T" "1 L.ki i IN ADVANCE POST Sp4 Clarence Smarse, Springfield, and Pfc Neil O'Brien, Dorchester.

"It enables the men to familiarise themselves with the equipment." Roger E. Higgins, head of the Army evaluating team, told yesterday's briefing session that transporting more than three-quarters of the men 400 miles by commercial bus rather than Army vehicle caused many of the "bugs" in the logistics system.

Mclaughlin kknnkdy a decent campaign up to the primary date of Sept. 18. And a fat campaign would have cost closer to $200,000. This is a lot of money even in this day and age. Republicans cringe at the thought of spending this kind of money in primary contests because every nickel spent before September means that much less for the big election campaign.

Television time is expensive. It costs a politician $1800 for a half-hour of prime time in two of the Boston television stations and $1680 in the third. If the candidate wants anyone to watch his show, he must place ads in the newspapers. A primary fighter can spend as much as $50,000 on billboards in the state fight and the cost of organization can be staggering. Telephone bills, hotel rooms, workers for registration drives, downtown office space, and secretarial help are just a few of the items included in organizational cost.

For a statewide candidate to blanket the state on television he must buy time from stations in Boston, Worcester, Springfield and Greenfield. The cost outside Boston is cheaper but it all adds up. Politics is expensive business. It's more attractive for a Kennedy or a Rockefeller who doesn't have to fret over the mortgage payment every month. McLaughlin found out.

the necessary substantial financial backing to conduct both the primary and the election campaign will not be available on any basis that would be acceptable to me And, above all, I have no right to place this heavy financial burden on the shoulders of my friends, nor have I any right to mortgage the future security of my wife and children," said McLaughlin. better performance by the 94th. i it i inon CAMP DRUM, N.Y. The men of the 94th Infantry Reserve Division take off from the Pine, Spruce, and Hemlock areas today for a well-earned week-end leave. But the commanding officers of its 22 units, plus the entire headquarters of division commander Maj.

Gen. Michael J. Galvin, have to -stay for a week-end briefing session with the board of evaluators from First Army Command. Principle subject of the briefing session is a 10-by-50-foot evaluation chart, with 15 separate qualification listings for every company. Galvin, accompanied by his aide, Capt.

Roland R. Mac-Lean of Wellesley, visited the artillery, infantry and legis-tics command headquarters of the division yesterday to hear reports from both regu-lary Army evaluators and his own unit commanders. Evaluators point to the hundreds of figures and aver-on every facet of performance for every company of the 94th, including hygiene, military courtesy, equipment maintenance and simple execution of orders. The evaluators steps to the chart and explains why he gave a 70, 80 or 90 to a unit. The unit commander then steps to a side wall decorated wit hlast year's He then explains the rise or fall of his unit's rating to the general.

Much of the blame for low marks is placed on the supply shortage caused by last year's Berlin buildup.
