Guilt Not Studied "It must be stressed that this committee's hearings were not conducted and this report not prepared, to determine the legal guilt or innocence of any person or whether the President should be impeached," it said. The final report eliminated all conclusions that had been contained in draft reports that earlier were leaked to the press. Instead it concentrated on the minute recitation of Watergate evidence and the recommendations for new laws it said are needed to help prevent future Watergates.

WASHINGTON (AP) The Senate Watergate committee, which first riveted national attention to the scandals that have led to preliminary impeachment proceedings against President Nixon, proposed on Saturday the most sweeping overhaul of campaign laws in American history. The final report of the seven-man panel, published in three volumes of 2,217 pages, was without conclusions of individual guilt or innocence.

But in its unanimous report the committee said the nation reeds an election commission to supervise federal campaigns and a permanent public prosecutor to enforce political laws free from the interference of the executive branch. It said the public financing of campaigns is not needed to assure the ending of financing abuses. In Minute Detail The Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign activities presented in minute detail the most complete report to date on the burglary, coverup and assorted acts of "corruption, fraud and abuse of official power" that now carry the collective name of Watergate. The evidence in the report comprises much of the data now being considered by the House Judiciary Committee which is soon to vote on to report a bill of impeachment to the full House of Representatives. The Senate committee decided to avoid any conclusions that might affect the impeachment proceedings or the outcome of the various Watergate trials.

Senators Urge 37 Reforms LUCASVILLE, Ohio (AP) Food, medical supplies and relief employs were airlifted Saturday int6 Ohio's maximum security prison where National Guardsmen stood watch in place of striking guards. A meeting of a state employes union was set for Monday to determine whether the strike would spread to remaining unaffected prisons, state mental health facilities and state liquor stores. A spokesman for the Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections said medical supplies, essential food items, mail and six employes were airlifted into the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility by National Guard helicopter.

The extra employes were needed to relieve workers who have been on duty inside the walls since pickets blocked prison entrances July 10, the spokesman said. In addition, 60 more troopers were flown in to join 140 armed guardsmen who began manning watch towers and walking the perimeters of the prison on Friday.

WASHINGTON (Al') The 1976 presidential election campaign will be paid for by private but limited contributions and supervised by a new nonpartisan federal commission if the Senate Watergate Committee has its way. And if the panel's recommendations become law, the president chosen in that election could be watched over by a perm anent independent prosecutor.

A president could not establish his own private national security investigating unit, and would have to make public his tax returns every year. These are among 37 proposals for political and governmental reform made public Saturday by the seven-member committee that brought Watergate into the nation's living rooms with its dramatic televised hearings last year. Three-Volume Report The recommendations are detailed as part of a three-volume, 2-217-page draft of the committee's final report. The panel, officially called the Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, is now dissolved. The committee proposes that a Federal Elections Commission replace the present three-headed adminstration of election laws and that it be given enforcement powers.

The report calls this "probably the most significant reform that could emerge from the Watergate scandal." The seven-member committee would be nominated by the President, partially from con Alvin L.

It would be given authority to levy civil penalties of up to $10,000 for violations of election law. Possible criminal violations would be referred to a new Office of Public Attorney, essentially a permanent version of the present Watergate Special Prosecutor. No Public Financing The Senate committee recommends against public financing of presidential campaigns despite the financial abuses uncovered during the Watergate investigations. Individual contributors, however, would be limited to a $3,000 donation for any presi dential candidate's pre-nomination campaign and $3,000 for the general election. Contributions of more than $100 could not be made in cash.

An individual could get a full tax credit for any donation up to $25, a liberalization of present tax law. A presidential candidate's campaign could not spend more than 12 cents in the general election per each person of voting age. Pre-nomina tion spending would be limited from state to state in primary elections. Stringent limitations would be put on contributions by organizations $6,000 "would tend to avoid the problem of undue influence by organizations while providing them an opportunity to participate in the political process." Major violations of these contribution laws would become felonies. In campaign operation, the committee would make it illegal for anyone to work as a spy in an opponent's organization.

It would also bar anyone from stealing or making unauthorized copies of campaign documents. Campaign money managers would be barred from disbursing funds for illegal activities. The proposed Public Attorney, in addition to enforcing criminal election law violations, could prosecute cases where "there is a real or apparent conflict of interest within the executive branch." "The preventative role this office could fulfill must be emphasized," said the report. "Indeed, it is reasonable to speculate that the existence of a Public Attorney's Office might have served as a deter. rent against some of the wrongful acts that comprise the Watergate scandal." The report evisions the Public Attorney as not only a special prosecutor, "but an ombudsman having power to inquire into the administration of justice in the executive branch.

Ile would be appointed for a five-year term by a panel of three retired circuit court judges selected by the Chief Justice of the United States. He could serve no more than two terms. To prevent any more "Plumbers" units, the committee would prohibit a President from setting up any national security or domestic security intelligence gathering group without authorization from Congress. Income Tax Controls To guard against misuse of personal tax information, the committee proposed that no one in the executive office of the president including the president be allowed to see any income tax return. Three related recommendations would more strictly regulate communications between the White House and Internal Revenue Service.

But the president and the vice president would be required annually to make public their own tax returns and other personal financial data Let a Want Ad work for you. Call 838-4664.
