Mrs. Felix Drouhy and Mrs. Murel Milburn say Eighth District Rep Bob Eckhardt failed to meet them in Washington after they traveled with a 100 signature petition for public school freedom of choice. They compare his reception unfavorably with experiences in Senators Tower Yarborough and Representatives Bush, Casey, Dowdy and other offices. The women waited an hour, were told by an aide Eckhardt could not help them, and received only coffee and a tour before being dismissed. They sought an apology and vow political action if unsatisfied.
