The GOP State Committee, meeting in Montpelier, also reported a $45,000 cash reserve after a recent $50-a-plate dinner that raised $41,000, and decided to pay off a $20,000 note to preserve cash for senator and congressional races. Russell Merriman was re elected state chairman, hired full time through the 1972 election at $18,000 a year plus expenses. Constance Johnson was named vice chairman, Nancy Hill secretary, and Marshall Sabens re elected treasurer. The party must reorganize under state law.
