Talmadge Inaugurates Economy Program With Pay Cut

Georgia's new governor vows to retrench by slashing his own $7,500 salary to $5,000 and urging a constitutional amendment to cap salaries at $5,000 for all state officials. He seeks short-term highway debt payments, a fiscal bill to shift funds, and public disclosure of old-age pension recipients while promising to repay $18 million in highway debts over four years without tax increases. He asserts a pledge not to repudiate valid debts and calls for an economy-minded legislature to cooperate.
