Rockefellers’ wealth
totals over a billion
WASHINGTON (AP) — The in
vestments held by three genera
tions of'Rockefellers, either outright
or in trust, total more than $1 bill
ion, the family’s financial adviser
said Tuesday.
But J. Richardson Dilworth told
the House Judiciary Committee the
holdings are scattered among 84 in
dividuals who never pool their re
sources or act together.
“It should be stressed that both
the family members and their in
vestment advisers in the family of
fice are totally uninterested in con
trolling anything,” Dilworth said at
the confirmation hearings on Nel
son Rockefeller’s nomination to be
vice president. The aim of both the
family and their economic advisers
is simply to make more money,
Dilworth said.
Rockefeller’s wealth and its pos
sible impact on the economy has
been a major concern of the com
mittee, and Dilworth’s testimony
was sought in hopes it would shed
some light on the subject.
But the picture of stock portfolios
is so extensive it takes 154 people to
manage them, the talk of converti
ble stocks, coupons and fiduciary
obligations and the fact the vast
holdings of the Rockefeller Founda
tion and other family-connected
funds were not included in
Dilworth’s presentation left most
members little more enlightened
than they had been.
Dilworth said his testimony
marked the first time an aggregate
or Rockefeller family investments
had ever been put together. It
showed the 84 family members own
either outright or in trust a total of
$295,388,000 in stocks, bonds and
real estate which are managed by
Dilworth and his associates in the
family office.
In addition, they are beneficiaries
in two trusts with assets totaling
$738,600,000 which are supervised
by independent trust companies.
Dilworth listed the major stock
holdings in the two categories,
which amounted to a roster of lead
ing U.S. corporations.
The totals do not include any per
sonal residential property, jewelry
or other personal belongings, nor do
they include Nelson Rockefeller’s
art collection, which he has valued
at $33 million.
In a separate financial statement
he submitted to the committee ear
lier, Nelson Rockefeller gave his
total net worth as $62.6 million, plus
being the beneficiary in trusts worth
$116 million.
Canceled checks show scheme
of Ma Bell s political slush fund
SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (AP) —
More canceled checks from an al
leged political slush fund by South
western Bell Telephone Co. have
surfaced.
The checks roughly follow a
$50-a-month scheme for political
contributions by top Bell executives
which the late T. O. Gravitt
sketched out in his suicide note.
The Associated Press obtained
copies of the checks, which were
written by James H. Ashley,
Southwestern Bell’s commercial
manager in San Antonio who was
dismissed in an internal investiga
tion.
Asked about the checks, Ashley
said he was told to contribute the
money. Of the five politicians whose
1974 campaigns were recipients of
the checks, Ashley said he had no
personal interest in the races and
did not know two of the candidates
personally.
One of the candidates to which
Ashley contributed was in Austin,
away from Ashley’s home district
here.
Gravitt, who was chief of Bell’s
Texas operations until his death
Oct. 17 in Dallas, had a notation in
his suicide note about $50 monthly
to politicians based on $1,000 an
nual raises given to the top echelons
of executives in Texas.
Ashley’s canceled checks were:
—$50 to Wilson Foreman cam
paign manager, March 22. Foreman
was a state representative from Au
stin for years until he was defeated
in the 1974 spring Democratic
primary by Gonzalo Barrientos.
—$50 to Nelson Wolff campaign
manager. May 16. Wolff, a San An
tonio state senator, ran unsuccess
fully this spring for the Democratic
nomination for the Dist. 21 U.S.
House post.
—$100 to John Traeger campaign
manager, Feb. 19. Trueger of
Seguin retained his state senate seat
in this year’s elections.
—$50 to Leo Mendoza campaign
manager, April 23. Mendoza ran
successfully for a peace justice post
in San Antonio while retaining his
city council seat. Bell has a pending
request before the city council here
for a rate increase.
—$100 to Robert Krueger cam
paign manager, Aug. 5. Krueger de
feated Wolff in the Democratic con
gressional primary and then beat a
Republican opponent this fall to
succeed retiring Rep. O. C. Fisher,
D-Tex.
The checks total $350 over a
seven-month period.
Ashley said he met Foreman only
once but did not know him. “Why
would I be interested in a race in
Austin, Tex., of a guy I didn t
know.”
Ashley said he had never met
Krueger.
Ward K. Wilkinson of Dallas,
Southwestern Bell vice president
for public affairs, has said Bell ex
ecutives are encouraged to contri
bute to candidates of their choice.
He declined comment when asked
whether the executives were
coerced.
Ashley said, “Wilkinson would
send a note to Porter Mitchell, gen
eral staff manager in San Antonio,
and he Mitchell would either send
Ward’s note or call me or send a
note of his own. ”
Mitchell, contacted by The As
sociated Press, would not confirm or
deny his part in such a procedure. “I
don’t think that I have any comment
at all, due to all the litigation,”
Mitchell said.
Ashley, dismissed for misconduct
after Gravitt’s death, has joined the
Gravitt family in a $29.2 million de
famation and libel suit against
Southwestern Bell.
