Fithian's mobile office in Syracuse Monday

Congressman Floyd Fithian’s mobile office on wheels made a brief stop in Syracuse Monday morning. Stanley L. Nice, Fithian’s mobile office director, was on hand to talk to citizens about their feelings on the issues of the day. Paul Pritchard, 102 North Shore Drive Syracuse, talked to Nice about the recent State Bank of Syracuse bank robbery, in which Pritchard played an active part. He was one of the two bank tellers in the bank at the time of the robbery. Pritchard feels there should be stronger legislation. “I can’t tell a girl working at the bank she has a secure job,” he said. “The two boys who robbed the bank are now walking around.” Pritchard added that these suspected

robbers should receive maximum sentencing and not be let off in six months or so on probation. He said, “If my boy committed this kind of crime, I would want him to have the maximum sentence.” Nice told the bank teller he would send this information on to Fithian and that Pritchard should contact the county prosecutor, Michael Valentine. Major Issues Another Syracuse resident, Clayton Mock, 712 North Huntington, had a few questions concerning the Panama Canal treaty. Nice said the canal treaty as well as increases in social security taxes were two of the more major issues he is asked about. He said he was surprised more people have not talked about the coal strike or the energy situation. Nice said the majority of the people he has talked to are opposed to the Panama Canal treaty. Almost 90 per cent of the people who come into the mobile office have a question concerning it. Nice said the mobile office is a good thing because it gives the constituents a chance to speak out and hear how Fithian stands on certain issues. He said, “The The first gasoline-engine taxicab, and the use of the a, first taximeter, appeared in 1907 in New York City.

people have a right to know how you (the congressman) vote. Congressmen have not been available to the constituents. It’s very difficult to find out how the congressman stands on issues.” Nice feels the mobile office helps give citizens the answers they are seeking, even though often he himself doesn’t have an answer. Nice does send all his reports on to Washington and Fithian will then send an answer back. Nice said another important thing about the mobile office is that it can direct people to local agencies that might help. “It’s surprising the people who don’t know where to turn. Often they don’t have a federal problem — we can direct them to local agencies. ” Fithian’s mobile office began running April 7,1977. Since then, it has served over 4,500 citizens.
