By Jack Anderson the total he has accepted to more than 9300000 Most of the contributions parallel his Senate committee assignments — the traditional route for special-interelargesse — Stewart has received 978000 in campaign donations from corporate and other special-interegroups affected by actions of the Senate Banking Committee on which he sits — Of this sum bank and savings-and-loa- n PACs alone have given Stewart 933500 Even Sen Jake Garn who is widely regarded as the bankers' voice in the Senate received only 911150 during the same period of time — Labor groups with direct interest in Banking Committee activities have given Stewart 985300 — Stewart has received 923500 from insurance industry PACS (including 911500 from American Family Life Insurance Co a cancer leading purveyor of controversial policies) Stewart is chairman of the Banking subcommittee on insurance — Stewart has accepted 954150 from political ' action committees interested in legislation before the Agriculture Nutrition and Forestry Committee of which he is also a member - WASHINGTON The road to Capitol Hill is paved with good intentions Once a newcomer arrives though the good intentions have a way of dissipating I've caught a freshman senator Donald in a classic case of good Stewart intentions gone bad with a lot less publicity than attended the announcements When Stewart arrived here in January 1979 to replace the late Sen James Allen he told a Washington Post reporter he was forswearing future campaign contributions from special interest groups He acknowledged that he had accepted 9164000 from certain “political action committees" but said that was it No more “I’m not saying that (king of) money is bad" he explained "I know I took it and I don't feel any more commitment to those that gave it What bothers me is that money doesn't reflect individual participation or building a strong base If you depend solely on special interests you're cheating the system” Since this public-spirite- d pronouncement however Stewart has accepted 82 additional PAC contributions of about 1160000 bringing la st st - officials fear may encourage even more aliens to enter the United States SMALL BUSINESS BLUES: I have heard from hundreds of small businessmen who complain that no one in Washington is listening to them Essentially here is their story: They are caught in a squeeze between the big corporations big unions and big government The corporate tycoons have used their political clout to rig the tax codes procurement practices trade policies and other federal programs to favor big business The labor tycoons have used their political clout to get special labor laws and safety regulations intended to put them on an equal footing with the big employers Large corporations can put up with federal nitpicking that can wipe out small marginal companies The politicians who are not under the thumbs of the corporations or unions tend to look upon the voters as consumers Federal laws and regulations therefore favor the consumers and discriminate against small When my associate Tony Capaccio called Stewart’s office to inquire about the strange demise of the senator's good intentions an aide said Stewart had simply changed his mind a couple of weeks after the Post interview He said the turnabout had been printed somewhere but he couldn't remember where Stewart later confirmed that “I simply changed my mind" but said he didn't know if the change had been publicly reported It has been now ALIENS ABOUND: Immigration officials can only guess how many illegal aliens now live in the United States The lowest estimate is 10 million the highest 20 million Contrary to the popular notion the illegals don't come here to tap the public till People who leave their homes to seek a better life are enterprising They want jobs not welfare Indeed they are more willing to work more eager to improve their lot than are many complacent Americans Most illegals therefore would make good productive citizens President Carter has asked Congress to grant them amnesty after they have lived here for five years But the promise of amnesty in five years immigration entrepreneurs Yet small businesses form the backbone of the free enterprise system an impressive 97 percent of all companies in America are small businesses They have introduced most of the major inventions and innovations that affect our daily lives Now small businessmen feel that their resourcefulness is being stifled their productivity suffocated their willingness to take risks discouraged by an unsympathetic government AFGHANISTAN HOSPITALITY: According to an underground report Afghan guerrillas left a welcome sign in the foothills of their mountain base The sign scrawled in Russian declared: "Welcome Russians! If the extreme altitude severe cold desolation snowslides and wolves don't get you we will" WATCH ON WASTE: When the Department of Commerce decided to set up a “floating department store" — a ship that would display American goods to potential Japanese customers — the agency's poohbahs felt that none of their own people could do the job So they hired an outside consultant for 925000 Various problems arose and the department canceled the consultant's contract early after paying 98000 Then it was decided that Commerce employees could indeed handle the job — which they did admirably 1980 Door left open for PLO role DEAR ANN LANDERS: I recently attended a family reunion there from to babes in arms They came from both coasts as well as the North and the South My husband and I had looked Everyone was great-grandparen- ts for six months forward to this It wasn't possible to seat everyone around the dining room table so two additional tables were set up in the living room There were no place cards but a chart was tacked up on the wall telling people where to sit get-toget- Midway through the meal I noticed a card table down the hall a handicapped cousin and his parents I went immediately to the hostess and asked why she had not seated these three in either the dining room or living room She replied “The boy slobbers and I didn’t want to spoil anyone's appetite I’m sure they are very comfortable where they are” I was stunned by her explanation but didn't want to spoil the reunion by getting into an argument Handicapped children and their parents face daily rejection by an uncaring public but to be treated this way by relatives is so seated at i i unspeakably cruel and insensitive I can’t bear it I hope you will print my letter so all the family members can see it They need to know — Furious And Still Shaking DEAR F AND S: Becoming furious and shaking didn’t help the segregated relatives feel any better By enduring such insensitive behavior you condoned it If I had been in your shoes lady I would have enlisted the help of a few others at my table and moved the card table the handicapped boy and his parents into the dining room — next to me ANN LANDERS: I am not calling you “dear" because I don't think you are dear at all You are a crummy old bag I am a girl who will never read your column again as long as I live Your advice to the mother who asked if she could let her daughter go steady with a boy stank out loud Don't you know a lot of are very mature for their age?
