"If you're independent you're not going to get a lot of money. It's a cross you have to bear to scrounge around for money. In our elections our opponents have equalled or surpassed us in fund-raising." Under the heading of Tactics and the Opposition," Mrs. Danielson said, "You play by ear from day to day." "There's nothing wrong with our government," she said. ''Where we falter is in the implementation, which means people, which means the dark side of human nature.

This is where you get into problems." "People dont realize what a person goes through," was her most critical observation of opponents' attacks and her husband's conduct during campaigning. The final units of the seminar are on voter registration and election day, and the pro knows that demands and emergencies during the final crunch can make or break the candidate. "We always run scared, always. Always have," said the campaigner. "The only prediction that counts is what the voters say.

When the votes are counted, that's what I believe." Mrs. Danielson is a speedy, small woman. She moves fast, talks fast, thinks fast and apparently adjusts fast She and her husband met as Democratic Party volunteers about 25 years ago when he was a lawyer and she, a Connecticut transplant, was in personnel work. Neither visualized their eventual roles. "I took no preparatory courses on how to be the wife of a public officer," she said.

"When you're involved in this kind of work the overpowering thing is helping others. "Basically I'm quite a shy person, and I've had to try to change this. "I've learned you have to forget 1M 3ngele ginu 9 Sept. 25, 1975 yourself when you're apprehensive about something, and then your shyness gets lost. Sometimes you think you cant do something and then you have to rise to it "Actually, when your own feelings interfere with what you have to do, you're really competing with yourself.

I had to learn this pretty early on." Something else she's learned is: "I think everything is left to chance. There are chance meetings that develop into things. I'm a people-oriented person, and I've truly learned something from almost everyone I've met. Everyone has something to contribute. Danielson is in Washington now and his wife is here carrying on some of the necessary work preparatory to his next campaign in the spring.

to Teach Political Campaigning Seminar Continued from First Page one. Many wives stay out of it totally. I wasnt prepared, but I always liked it It's a great thing to be involved in it, in helping people. The seminar, divided into six units, began Tuesday with motivation one's own motivation in running for office, a volunteer's motivation in a commitment to support the candidate, and a voter's evaluation of the candidate's motivatioa Next, a nuts-and-bolts business of beginning the campaign with chairmen and managers and volunteers. The Candy Danielson observations here: "We're in a consumer oriented society, and the person running for office is competing with soap, beer, you-name-iL" In recruiting volunteers, "You have to get their interest, get them fired up.

When you get them on your side you cant get anyone better than a volunteer Then there's the all-important unit on fund-raising, the only one in which Mrs. Danielson expressed any repugnance "That's an area that I dont like, one in which we have never excelled, an area that is very, very demeaning to people. But unless you happen to have a lot of wealthy people who are eager to support you, you do it ning for office is a field in real need of expert advice, and so Mrs. Danielson was chosen to teach the three-day seminar as a professional expert, a special teaching category. The seminar concludes today.

"Even with this (18 hours of discussion) we're just skimming the surface," she said. "But they evidently felt this is a gap that needed to be filled, and I think that insofar as my husband's campaigns are concerned I'm the best authority. "When we started we had nobody.

The council then decided to request a report from Blair on the Personnel Board's findings and his recommendation concerning whether a writ should be filed.

Blair said Wednesday morning he would not file a writ until he received directions from the council at next week's meeting. Besides the charges of holding an unauthorized press conference and failure to accept a special assignment to Lim's office, Cochee was accused by Lim of not following personnel rules and regulations as they relate to promotions, failure to reasonably cooperate with superiors, and considered the most serious charge failure to "act expediently" in the investigation of reported cheating on a written Civil Service examination. In clearing Cochee of the last charge, the Personnel Board claimed witnesses testifying on behalf of the city "gave conflicting testimony The city's witnesses were not believable or were impeached." The board agreed Cochee's press conference, at which time he asked several state agencies to investigate the city, was not authorized. "However, we assume his emotions exploded. An isolated outburst on the circumstances of unusual tension does not warrant termination," the board declared.

The board sustained Lim's charge that Cochee failed to accept reassignment to the city manager's office an assignment made the week before Cochee was fired. But that reassignment, the board said, "could be considered as a The board said there was not sufficient evidence to sustain the other charges against Cochee.
