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.
The measure was voted after
Tupamaros killed a former gov
ernment official and three se
curity men in daylight ambushes
