Clement Stone plans to change the world this elec tion year. He does not care much how many millions it costs him. He has done it before, he said, and he will do it again. Stone, 77, the founder and still unquestioned leader of Combined Insurance Co., has about $400 mil lion to back what he calls his “obses- “I have changed the world and well changed the world for the bet ter,’’ he said. “Obviously Mr. (Richard) Nixon and I feel, and many others feel, that he was president of the United States by virtue of the ★★★★★★★★★★★★★ 4- MANOR EAST 3 MANOR EAST MALL 823-8300 help that I was in a position to give him. “In following my own principles of setting goals, I made a resolution that as far as I was concerned there was no power on earth that would keep him from being nominated by the Republican convention, no pow er on earth that could keep him from being elected — he was elected. “What I am doing is backing the next president of the United States, who is John Connally. When Mr. Connally is president of the United States and we have more Republi cans in Congress, things will change.” Stone, by his own estimation, put more than $5 million of his own money into Nixon’s two successful presidential campaigns.

He is somewhat inhibited this year by new laws, directed primarily to wards persons such as himself, which limit one man’s contribution to a political candidate to $1,000. But Stone expressed confidence he can “achieve the same goal” and get a lot more than $1,000 to Connally's Re publican quest for the presidency. In the meanwhile, he intends to keep casting his substantial bread upon other waters, confident that this, too, will change the world. Stone, who may well he America’s most generous fat cat in a presiden tial year, has also spent lavishly to help those less celebrated than White House aspirants since he came to wealth almost a half-century ago. Stone’s philanthropies are legion.
