...while operating budgets keep rising. The civil rights balance sheet, according to leaders of the five largest organizations: > The Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (S.N.C.C.) is currently so low on cash that it has cut all salaries in half (even those of $10-a-week workers in Mississippi). Officials insist that the problem is an annual one, caused in part by the fact that potential contributors are still paying Christmas bills. A victim of growing pains as much as pinched purses, S.N.C.C. in the past year has doubled its paid staff (from 115 to 235), is considering upping its budget...

Then, after all the talk of getting rid of us, they say that we are morally obligated to remain in Panama under the 'perpetuity' clause to keep the canal going as a business operation for the Panamanians. Now that is an absurd contradiction...
