Case Owners Declare
This Town Does Have A Good 5c Cup Os Coffee
The reporter who wrote the
story under the headline "Wiiat
this Town Needs is a Good 5c
Cup of Coffee" in Monday's Times
is now sticking close to the office,
venturing out only under the cover
of darkness.
He says that he has nightmares
of being chased by knifewielding
case and drug store owners who
cry: "We have your good 5c cup
of coffee!"
There have been serious reper
cussions.
Several of the people who have
decided to keep the price of a
coffee break at a nickel have
served notice that unless there is
an explanation or a retraction,
they intend to take d astic steps.
North Carolina's two represent
atives. Jonas of the 10th District. |
and Woodrow Jones of Ruther
fordton. ll.h District said it is
"ridiculous" to consider any pay
raises now.
“ISN’T TIME”—JONAS
"I'm one of the 34 members
who voted against tlie creation
of the commissions," said Jonas.
“This just isn't the time to start
raising salaries. What about all
tlie postal employes who need a
raise? Congress made a mistake
in not raising its'pay during
the inflationary spiral.
I don't think that congress
men have lush living. But I won't
vote for any raise. I didn't come
up here to vote to raise salaries,
but to rut spending until the
budget is balanced.”
Jonas said. "I am to ally oppos
ed to i,. It is unwise to raise the'
salary at this time. If would lead j
to other raises throughout the |
government. I knew what the sal- i
ary was when I ran for Congress!
and if I don't like it I can go j
home. I. is inconsistent to raise!
oUr own pay while cut’ing other!
expenses."
"TOO HIGH"—HOEY. LENNON
North Carolina's Sena* is Clyde*
R, Hoey and Alton Lennon said
the $27,500 figure is much too!
high. However. Lennon said he
does not believe "public officials j
should be expected to serve at a
financial sacrifice.” Hoey said. "I i
will have to study tire commis- j
sion's recommendations thorough- i
ly before deciding how much of
an increase is justified ”
South Carolina members of
Cong ess said today they would
oppose raising congressional sal
aries to $27,500 a year.
Senator Burnet R Maybank
said: “The commission went en
tirely too far. I certainly cannot j
vote for that. In fact, if we vote
for any congressional salary raise
we must grant raises to eveiy!
government employe, wherever he
is.”
Senator O'.in D. Johnson said:
"That figure of $27,500 does seem
a little high. It. amounts ;o $12,500
more in one jump. Congress ought
to have a little more, but not
that."
