Charter Bill Amended
To Give President
Council Appointments

A major change was written into
the Districts charter commission
today by the McCarran Subcommit-
tee of the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee when it ordered a favorable re-
port on the measure.
An amendment which was adopt
ed prescribes that not less than one
third of the proposed city council
to be provided for in the proposed
charter shall be appointed by the
President with the advice and con-
sent of the Senate. The remainder
of the councilmen would be elected,
under this plan.

tive meeting of the McCarran sub
committee, which includes besides
Chairman McCarran Of the full
committee Senators O'Mahoney,
Democrat, of Wyoming and Wherry,
Republican, of Nebraska.
Specified No Number.
The original McCarran charter
commission bill directed the charter
commission to bring in a plan for
council-manager form of govern
ment, but did not specify what
number, if any, of the councilmen
should be appointed instead of
elected.
However, it was recalled, an
earlier home rule" bill sponsored
by Senator McCarran-now pigeon
holed in the Senate District Com
mittee-provided for a council of
nine, seven to be elected by wards
and two, the chairman and vice
chairman, to be presidential ap-
| pointees, to represent the Federal

The Town That Got Rich Quick
BY THEODORE IRWIN

slams took over Sastin. Naturally,
the first thing the lieutenant in charge
inspected was the former Nazi head
quarters. There were the strange
trunks. Breaking one open, he picked
up few bundles of currency. What
was to be done with all this?
To understand what happened
next. just remember that these
Russian soldiers part of General
konev's army - had started their
triumphant push way back in Stain
grad. They had fought without stop
ping, week after week, month after
month with only one thought:
March into Berlin or die
~P1ss Is QUIZ
AND so the weary lieutenant -
his name does not appear on any
records of the Czech government -
said to his sergeant: who knows if
l will be alive tomorrow, if / will
ever see Berlin? Let's give this money
to the townspeople.
Then he added: you handle this,
Sergeant. See that every man,
woman and child in Sastin gets a
share. Ask each one his age, and for
every year of his life give him a
thousand korunas. There should be
enough to 60 around"
With that problem solved he
stretched out on a couch and fell
asleep.
On that sunny day in April, the
gentle people of Sastin became rich
beyond their dreams In all. some
300, 900. 900 korunas equal to
5000, ,OOO) were handed out.
For a few hours, Sastin was
stunned People we're incredulous at
their amazing good fortune a citizen
with a large family had as much as
15O,O 600 or zoo, 900 korunas! Every
one rushed into the shops in wild,
almost hysterical. spending spree.
Evening star., 1946-09-08

Sastin at once became the scene
of perhaps the fastest infationary
spiral in history. A man used to pay
three korunas for a shave; now it
cost him 5000! The entire economy
of the town broke down. Every man
was a magnate, a big shot. Farm
hands and laborers refused to work.
The towns -four mills, the ce-
ment factory, the distillery - all
had to shut down. Butchers and
other merchants sold their whole
stocks at fantastic prices.
And when everything in Sastin's
stores was sold out, the people
Travelled to nearby towns with their
wads of money. Prices soon sky
rocketed there, too, and Sastin be-
came the center of monetary
earthquake.
But all the people didn't spend
their new wealth foolishly. Many of
them, after the first orgy of extrava-
gance was over, buried their money
in gardens and cellars.
BY mid-May, the directors of the
bank in Bratislava, checking on the
currency missing from their vaults,
had traced it to Sastin.
End of 4 Dooan
HERE was no way. however. to
force the people to return it. So the
democratic government headed by
President Edouard Benes asked them
to give it back voluntarily. An in
tensive propaganda drive, pointing
out that the money was urgently
needed state property, was aimed at
Sastin's patriotism.
Then an incredible thing hap
pened: the people of Sastin dug into
their gardens and came forth with
lis, Zoo. 900 korunas. The remaining
185, coo. 600 korunas were most likely
scattered in other towns and cities.
Perhaps the Sastinites responded so
readily because they are all deeply
religious. In any case, most of tho
saddenly-scquired fortunes were
voluntarily wiped cut.
Sooner or later, the Czech govern
ment plans to ask each citizen just
how he obtained his wealth during
the war. Perhaps eventually most of
the 800. 900. 900 korunas that once
had flowed 50 freely in Sastin will
return to their home in Bratislava.
Today. Sastin is still in something
of a daze and the people have a
glazed look in their eyes Men who
had once refused to work are back
in the fields and factories. But in
the wine shops, a bottle of shyovitz,
which used to cost IS korunas, now
sells for 600. Sastin will never be
the same.

Czech villagers hit the
jackpot when the Nazis
left 1000, 900 behind.
Here's what happened

W7HAr would happen to your
" town if one wonderful day a
quixotic visitor were to hand out six
million dollars to everybody in it -
at the rate of thousand dollars for
each year of your life?
A fight of fancy? Well, little over
a year ago just such cash windfall
did drop into the lap of the village
of Sastin in the northeast corner of
Czechoslovakia.
1t was during the last days of
April, l945. German forces were
occupying Sastin, a placid little COM
munity of several thousand farmers
and industrial workers close to the
Austrian border. When word came
that the Russians were ap-
preaching, pandcmonium hit
the Nazis. They prepared to retreat
further northward to Austria.
In the mayors Office at the Sastin
town hall, used by the Germans as
their headquarters. the Nazi COM
mandant stared at few battered
trunks. They were packed to the
brim with korunas, the Czechoslo-
wax currency. Originally. the Nazis
had looted the money from the
vaults of the Czechoslovak National
Bank of Bratislava.
HGAlin1 H1s Getaway
Now. with the Red Army on his
heels. the panicky Nazi commander
decided to abandon his millions.
Outside, his staff car - the motor
running - was waiting to speed him
to safety. There was no room for
any of the trunks, 50 he locked them,
pocketed the keys. and called in
two young Slovak peasants who had
been drafted into the Wehrmacht.
leave these trunks in your care.
Hide them we'll. I'll hold you both
responsible. If return - and some
day our armies will return - you
will be we'll rewarded. Do you under
stand?'
The two soldiers nodded dumbiy.
A moment later, the Nazi officer
was gone. The terrified Slovaks
promptly discarded their German
uniforms for peasant clothes and
soon we're bicycling madly down the
road toward their farms.
Meanwhile, the trunks renamed
in the mayors Office.

Pan American Wants Routes I'm
 United States

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. (P)- The Pan American Airways needs domestic routes to strengthen it's overseas operations and to ad- vance national interest" abroad, an Airways executive told a Civil Aeronautics Board examiner yes terday.
 John CT Leslie, airline vice pres ident, said that 52.7 percent of Pan Americans mileage was char acterized by limited flights as he testified at the company's ap- plication for the right to operate within the United States.

 The vote was 353 to 0 against an amendment by 58 labor mem bers of Parliament urging that the governments foreign policy steer a middle course between the United States and Russia.
 It came after Attlee, denying that Britain was "ganging up' with The United States against the Soviet Union, declared i've are not seeking an exclusive Anglo American alliance" He made that observation in reply to a specific request that he repudiate Winston Churchilrs Fulton, Mo-, speech suggesting such an alliance.
 Atlee said it was entirely un- true" that Britain was subservient to the United States or that the labor government was not ready to collaborate with Russia.
 Many of the labor party "rebels" had announced in advance that they would abstain from voting rather than oppose the govern ment formally on a question of confidence.
