Letter To The Editor Whose Interest Is Ford Serving ? TO THE EDITOR: Even now voters in the United States vote along tradi tional and sectional lines. Only in recent years has the two party system become evident in the South and especially in North Carolina with the election of James Holshouser, the first Republican Governor since the Reconstruction Era. One party politics spawns corruption in government The public should examine the candidates and where the can didates stand in regard to the issues before voting. Yet the apathy demonstrated by the American voters in securing the aforesaid knowledge is virtually unprecendented. I In response to the letter to the editor appearing in the Sept. 30 issue of The Perquimans Weekly, one cannot deny that President Ford came into office under extremely bad political and economic conditions. Yet has the situation actually changed? Unemployment remains at an all time high. In Perquimans County alone approximately 35 per cent of the white population and nearly 70 percent of the nonwhite population are currently living below the national poverty level. It has been said that politics is a game of self interest. During President Fold's administration corporate taxes have gone down by approximately six billion dollars while at the same time, taxes on middle-income Americans have gone up by almost five billion dollars. It should alse be called to attention that it was President Ford that maintained the embargo on American grain ex ports until it had been harvested and was in the hands of the corporate grain dealers. Only then was the embargo lifted, which in turn boosted the price and enabled the dealers and exporters to make huge profits. The question one should ask is, Whose interest is Presi dent Ford serving? TONYCOPELAND Hertford, N.C. DICK'S DRIVE IN Friday Night Pickled Herrings 5:00-8:00 P.M.

The law which establishes this corporation gave it authority to unionize the same as private industry, with one exception the right to strike. The National Labor Agreement, which started im mediately with the corporate structure, has provisions Which are above and beyond anything ill the private sector, such as no-layoff. Also, when labor disagrees with manage ment's decisions, management cannot act. The decisions must go to arbitration, etc. , The postal service is responsible to no one for its expen ditures. Any deficit must be paid by the taxpayers. : The salary structures which the U.S. Postal Service set for itself for management and labor have a ceiling of, $63,000. A large number of management officers receive salaries which far exceed those of Senators and Con gressmen. The Post Office labor force receives salaries which far exceed those for government employees. Prior to the formation of the Postal corporation, these were com pftragle. " , : v Overstaffing and idle hours in the Postal Service is now a way of life. The law requires eight hours work for eight hours' pay in other agencies. The union contract which the Postal Service negotiates with itself supersedes the law of our land, The financial pro blems in the Postal Service have been created because of this labor agreement. Excessive Increase in Postage has Caused a Decrease in Mail Volume. Many of the major users are now finding alternate means in lieu of paying this price. The no-layoff provision in the contract leaves a fixed number work force with a decrease in mail volume. Postal Employees receive High Pay for Doing Nothing. Unless the attrition rate, equals the workload decreases, the imbalance between the manhours and the workload will continue. The - no-layoff clause does not permit management to reduce the work force to correct the imbalance. An effective work measurement system has been eliminated, and each office is permitted to set its own work standards which supports this type of imbalance. Efficiency and economy in the operation of the Postal Service under this labor agreement are impossible. The upper management of the Postal Service has com mitted various acts to shield this truth from the public. Hearings before the subcommittee of the Congress when properly reviewed will clearly identify the fabrications. How can Congress or the President ignore thiswhen con duct of a similar nature in the Executive Branch of the government brought about the removal of the President of this Nation. The investigative arm of the Congress, known as the General Accounting. Office, has presented reports and testimony which are absolute fabrications. Documents pro ving these fabrications are in the hands of Congress. For Congress to use these reports while in the process of prepar ing legislation for laws to govern this Nation is a damnable act The need to refer this to the Justice Department for an in-depth probe is of the utmost importance if our govern ment and the nation's business is to function properly. The Board of Governors, the Postmaster, the entire upper :' management of the United States, Postal Service should be held responsible and accountable for the multi-billion dollar - waste which they and they alone are responsible for. v I invite everyone interested in an efficient U.S. Postal " Service to write their Congressman and make their views 'known. V ' CARLTON G.BEALL " - (Former Postmaster, Washington, D.C., Retired) The only limit on U.S. Postal Service salary is that no employee can make over $63,000. The total subsidy for the current fiscal year is 1.5 billion, plus an estimate deficit of 1.4 billion, representing a total amount the taxpayers have to shell out annually, plus the price of stamps. - - B.
