Show 1 ') I 1 I Page Eight I FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 1962 THE SALT LAKE TIMES Wayne L. Carlson Elected Head Of County Demo Organization (Continued from page 1) sized by other speakers, includ-ing Sen. Frank E. Moss and can-didates for the Democratic sena-torial nomination Rep. David S. King and Calvin L. Rampton. In his talk Mr. Howe praised the Kennedy administration and cited the "against" votes cast by Sen. Bennett. "I am sick and tired of hearing Sen. Bennett say he is against the programs which will help the State of Utah. And I suggest that the people of Utah are sick and tired of Sen. Bennett in the Senate," Mr. Howe said. Among other candidates to speak were Joseph H. Weston, seeking the party's nomination for the U. S. Senate, who devoted his talk to a defense of the jus-tice of the peace court system as a symbol of "protection from tyranny and governmental power the courts of the people." Also speaking briefly were de-clared candidates State Senator Bruce S. Jenkins, candidate for the party's nomination in the Second Congressional District; William ,H. (Bill) Henderson, candidate for the nomination for attorney general; and C. W. (Buck) Brady, candidate for the four year county commission post. Retiring chairman Smoot pre-sided over the convention. Rep. King Says GOP Charges Are Politically Inspired Fiction Ji - Rep. David S. King branded as "a politically inspired fiction" the charges of the Utah Young Republican chairman, Don Mar-tinson, about the size of his con-gressional staff. "Newspaper accounts did not make it clear whether Martinson is charging that I have the larg-est staff in the Congress, or that I have the largest field staff. "On both counts, he's wrong," Congressman King said. "In the first place, the law limits the House members from districts under 500,000 in popu-lation to nine staff members, and those from districts over 500,000 such as mine to 10 employees. These limitations make it utter nonsense to suggest that any particular Congressman has the largest staff in the House. I have nine people on my staff. "It is utter nonsense too, to suggest that I have the largest field staff. At least 23 House members staff two or more field offices, and some assign as many as six employees to these offices. Some keep their administrative assistants in their field offices. I have one field office. I have four people, two stenographers and two part time advisers, on my field staff. "Because my district is in the upper 11 per cent in size it is among the 45 largest districts in the country I have taken great care to spread my staff so that my 580,000 constituents would get the best possible service in staff limitations and would get prompt and efficient personal service on the problems whfcch can be handled only through person to person help. ." "Many people have difficulties with the federal government that they cannot adequately rebate in a letter. Some problems, fry their nature, are best handled through a personal contact. Moreover, the answer to many of:he prob-lems people have with! the gov-ernment actually is-- y available through a local office, if the people have someone to turn to for guidance. :) "In all of these situations, peo-ple can and do gethelp through my field staff. ; "The four peope on my field staff represent 2.5 per cent of my payroll. Apart from the per-sonal service th(y give the peo-ple, their pay checks are spent in Utah and this helps the Utah economy. I wish 100 per cent of my payroll could be spent in Utah. "If Mr. Martinson's figures on Senator Bennett's Utah opera-tions are accurate, then only 4 per cent of the senator's $109,- - 000 a year payroll flows into the Utah economy. The rest is spent in Washington, D.C. "As a practical matter, I think 1 represent more people than the senator does. I am the only man in the House who serves the 580,000 people in my district, which has almost 65 per cent of the Utah population, whereas Mr. Bennett is just one of two senators who represent the 900,-00- 0 people of the state. "Moreover, I handle my load with less than half the payroll which Senator Bennett expends in his work. He has eight more employees than I have. As of December 31, his payroll was $109,000 a year. Mine is $52,554 a year." The Congressman said Mr. Martinson's attack was "obvi-ously inspired" by Mr. King's candidacy for Senator Bennett's office. "I have published my pay rolls at my own instance, every year I've been in office and this is the first time anyone has com-plained about the way I manage my staff services," he said.

"On an efficient and economi-cal basis, our county will thrive," he declared. "In this, the hour of international threat and ten-sion the loyal people of our state and county are putting aside per-sonal ambition and presenting a forceful and united front to the world in support of the Presi-dent." He complimented the county workers for dedicated and loyal service to the cause of Ameri-canism and expressed his wish that they continue in their ef-forts to improve and serve the Salt Lake County government and its people.
