$1,000,000 OWED BY TWO PARTIES Republicans and Democrats Move to Collect Sums to Cut Deficits. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Amid all the talk of war debts and defaults, there's a mere matter of $1,- 000,000 which has to be raised somehow to take carc of campaign debts in- curred by the two major parties here. The Democrats owe between $700,- 000 and $800,00 arly haif of which arose in the 1928 campaign and is due John J. Raskob, and the Republicans owe about $200,000. Neither pa the ry of ccllection. are thinking of the congressional election in 1934, and the presidential contest in 1936 and their importance to the party.
