Call coUect 713/228-0028 Diane Parnell WASHINGTON (A>) _ The House ethicsi committee feels that the wife of Rep. John Dowdy should get off her husband’s pay roll while she is campaigning to succeed him in Congress. The committee said there’s nothing illegal in Mrs. Dowdy remaining a $22,500 secretary on the staff of her husband, who was convicted of bribery, while she runs for office. But the committee thinks it is improper and is preparing to say so in a letter to state Sen. Charles Wilson of Lufkin, Tex., who is running against Mrs. Dowdy. Wilson had asked the House Committee on Standards of Of ficial Conduct to look also into the full-time campaigning of Dowdy’s press aide, Gerald Yoes, for Mrs. Dowdy. In its draft reply now being circulated to committee members the committee told Wilson there was nothing wrong with Yoes remaining on Dowdy’s payroll and campaigning for Mrs. Dowdy—on his own time. Dowdy contends Yoes is taking vacation time for his work in Texas. But this policy extends only THE BATTAIIQTHE ——- — - M ~ Complaints raised against Mrs. Dowdy IA to a person working on “behalf of a candidacy other than him self,” the letter says, “and the committee feels that when a con gressional employe is actively campaigning on his own behalf that he or she would be removed from the clerk-hire roles and con fine his activities to the cam paign.” Mrs. Dowdy was not mentioned in the draft letter but was the' person referred to, a committee aide said. The committee also reviewed two other complaints of Wilson. Hie had said Dowdy was send ing his newsletter outside his cur rent district, to areas which will be in the new congressional dis trict to be represented by his suc cessor. Wilson said this was ir regular if not illegal because Dowdy is not seeking reelection to the expanded district. The committee said the letter of the law, under Postal Service regulations, doesn’t prohibit this and a congressman technically can send information anywhere in the state. “This is not to say that the committee views this to be in the spirit of the law,” the draft letter adds. Another charge of Wilson’s was that Dowdy was mailing his wife’s campaign literature under his free-postage congressional frank. He included an affidavit from a Madisonville, Tex., man who said he got Dowdy’s newsletter and Mrs. Dowdy’s election bro chure in the same envelope. Dowdy had denied that could have happened. He said his news letter was sealed here in Wash ington and his wife’s material was sent separately from the Lufkin post office to individual addresses. The committee tended to side with Dowdy on this issue, say ing that no other instances had surfaced and that the man mak ing the complaint had gotten Mrs. Dowdy’s brochure with his specific box number on it, which would have been improbable had it come with the congressman’s mailing address to “postal patrons, 2nd congressional districts.” The committee has not disposed of another request from two Cali fornia congressmen concerning investigate recommeti Dowdy: that it possibility of House action to strip hiraoi committee and floor voting pt leges. Rep. Olin Teague, D-Tei, committee member who alsop tified at Dowdy's trial asatj acter witness, has said that committee is frustrated anj vided on what action to against Dowdy. He has sail Dowdy fired his wife, it ai| relieve the pressure on then mittee to censure him.

Nine die as Uruguay soldiers, communists join in gun battle MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay CPI- Nine persons, including an army captain, were reported killed Mon day in a predawn gun battle that raged for an hour around a dis trict office of the Communist party. Their deaths raised to 21 the number of persons slain since Friday in the government’s de clared “internal war” against the leftist Tupamaro guerrillas. No official report was issued on the 4 a.m. fight that erupted in the Paso Molino residential district five miles from the cen ter of the city. The victims, other than the army officer, apparently were suspected Tupamaros who sought refuge in the Communist party building and party militants standing vigil in the headquarters to defend from right-wing ex tremists. Six soldiers were reported wounded in the battle. Newspapers and radio stations in Uruguay were barred from dis tributing accounts of the fight because of censorship imposed in the declaration of a 30-day anti guerrilla war approved Saturday by Congress.
