A Yelled Threat?
s'Now," asks my friend, els there
is yelled threat in this thing?"
If he were not now on the federal
payroll it would not follow that
there was such threat implied. Ger
tainly.
But he is on the federal payroll.
Before he was on it he was a SUBJ
scriber to one of those $5-dinners at
500 per plate which have gone so
far toward Wiping out the Demo-
cratic committees deficits in the
near future. That is to say, that is
what will ensue if the $1OO subscrib-
ers will scratch up their subscrip-
tons fast and generally enough.
This letter of Mr.. Quayle, Jr.'s
might hint that some of them are a
trifle derelict.
A richer than mud subscriber
ought to cough up his $1OO speed
lily.
Analyze his case, and it readily
can be established that he did not
get anything directly in return for
his subscription; it was just socia-
bility.
But the little pewee, like my
friend? He got a federal job.
At the present juncture-is he be-
ing asked to pay for it?
The belief is that thousands of his
kind of letters are being broadcast.
I can not prove thousands but I
can prove one of 'em.
You can draw your own conclu-
sions anyway.
