Tony Coelho, D-Calif., committee chairman, said the collection of more than 50 cases of questionable conduct by Reagan aides has “the potential of doing significant damage to the president’s re-election efforts because his is an adminis tration that worships greed. “They believe that the profits of greed will trickle down.” The announcement of the attacks on the administration from two of the three Democra tic presidential candidates. Coelho said the ads will start running this week in the Washington area and will be placed in various regions of the country later. He refused, however, to specify when and where and would not reveal how much the committee will spend for air time. Earlier, Speakes said he did not know whether the charges of improper conduct would hurt the Republicans. “It depends on what the Democrats want to do new ads coincided with simi/ar^with it,” said Speakes, who last week said the number of cases is not “inordinate.” House Speaker Thomas O’Neill said, however, “I would say it’s going to be an issue. We’re not trying to make it an issue. The American people make the issues.” Gary Hart, campaigning in New York, said: “We have had for 36 months a systematic mes sage come out of Washington from the highest levels of public- office and that message is per sonal greed: Take what you can, however you can, in whatever way you can." He also said the administration has been been “one of the worst in this nation’s history” in the area of ethical conduct. Also in New York, Mondale charged that Reagan, more than any other modern president, “has turned his back” on the problems of working people and the vulnerable.

Housing and Urban merit Secretary Meeses’ income up since move/ to capital, tax return shows United Press International WASHINGTON — President Reagan praised Edwin Meese for his “great economic sacri fices” in joining the administra tion, but tax returns show Meese and his wife have reaped their biggest income since moving to Washington, sources said Wednesday. Ursula Meese, wife of the attorney general-nominee, pro duced most of the financial boon by landing a $40,000-a-year job as head of the William Moss In stitute, a non-profit center founded by a wealthy Republi can oilman desiring more re search into America s future. Based on their joint federal income tax return, Meese and BUY THREE GET his wife earned pre-tax income of $115,762 in 1982, sources close to a Senate investigation of Meese’s finances said.
