IN a copyrlgnted SJOry VI
quoted Mr.. Carter as saying.
"I'm afraid I didn't have this
thing in very good perspective,
and I'm going to correct 1t.
"I've made a mistake Of judy
ment on this matter. and / am
going to adjust 1t within a few
days.
"I've been Ill with cancer,
and Steve has been carrying a
lot of the load for me. My ILL
ness and the fact that / was
told that I might not live many
weeks probably resulted in my
making a misjudgment as to
what ! should pay Steve"
Student at GNU
The freshman Congressman
said previously his son, a pre-
law student at George Wash
ington University, had the best
qualifications of applicants as
his chief assistant.
Mr.. Carter said he had re-
ceived numerous letters from
Iowa and 1T is about 60-40
against me-"
Mr.. Carter was further quoted
as saying that because of the
reaction he felt it was time
to lay things on the line and
tell the people about my physi-
cal condition which I am sure
influenced my actions"
In 1857, he said, he developed
a cancerous condition on the
back of the tongue. Mr.. Carter
said it was believed by doctors
that the cancer was caught be-
fore 1t spread to other areas of
the body.
Then during the election
campaign last fall, he said, his
left arm began to pain him.
Examinations showed that can
Ger had spread through his body
and there was a rather large
cancerous growth between the
seventh and eighth vertebrae,
Mr.. Carter said.
Treatments Successful
Mustard gas and radiation
treatments were successful and
he added that doctors tell him
if the cancer does not attack a
vital organ he probably can
keep it controlled and live out
a normal life.
The newspaper said Mr.. Car
ter wants to keep his son on
the payroll at a sharply reduced
salary but that he hasn't de-
cided yet whether to do this.
He said the family did not need
the money.
Some of the other House en-
ployes listed on the payroll are
known to be wives or daughters
of their employers. Some were
getting the top pay rate, $13,-
344.62 annually, while others
we're getting the lowest scale,
$774.73 a year.
Three Representatives had
on their payrolls two employees
with names similar to those of
their bosses.
House records showed the fol-
lowing members had on their
payrollS in January employees

family name Figures give the
