A Question of Motives to the Editor of the Post
A letter argues Congress should reflect all people including mean men. It notes the President's secretary Lamont received a salary increase from 3500 to 5000 and, via a deficiency bill amendment, 1500 extra per year for four years totaling 6000. Lamont asked the amendment be struck, declining more than the regular salary. The writer praises his stand against salary grabs while condemning accusations of notoriety or prearrangement.
