Nixon Cries Smear' In Answering Charge
V-P Candidate Says Not One Penny Went for Personal Use
by United Press
Richard M. Nixon, Republican vice-presidential candidate, last night defended his right to use an $18,000 privately-contributed fund for political expenses as a U.S. Senator and said “not one penny” of the money went into his own pocket.	^
‘The best and only answer to a smear or an honest misunderstanding of the facts is to tell the truth.” the 39-year-old Californian told a nation-wide radio and television audience estimated at 60,000.000.
“It was morally wrong if an> of that money went to me for my personal use,” he said. “It was; morally wrong if it went to me secretly . . . or if stnj of the don-1 ors got special favors.
“But'not one cent of that $18.-000 ever went to me for personal j use. Every penny was used to pay | for political expenses that I did not think should be charged to n the taxpayers of the United i States.”

Knight President Jim Cooke said today.
The war flag, which is displayed after each SC football victory has been the object of an intense search by a committee of Knights, Cooke added.
He said that his committee has looked everj-where, but has been unable to find a clue to the mystery. He added that if the banner is not found this week a new one would be obtained.
The original banner used after winning the first seven games,' was worn and attered. Members of the Delta Sigma Phi fratenity decided it was time SC had a new banner, so they bought one. The new flag was raised and the Trojans proceed to drop the next three games.
Because of the losses, many students felt that the new flag was a jinx. When it was announced that it was missing, a rumor to the effect that the Knights were deliberately hiding the .flag began circulating. Cooke denied this ru-
