D. {. Lets Embassies
Buy Liquor Wholesale

The Commissioners decided to-
day that foreign embassies, lega-
tions, diplomatic representatives
and designated international or
ganizations here can buy alcoholic
beverages at wholesale prices in
the District.
The diplomatic groups last fall
asked the State Department to
request District authorities to
change the regulation whereby
embassies and similar places in
Washington were classified as
consumers" in alcoholic beverage
control regulations. The regula-
ton meant they could buy only at
retail.
The result was that the organi-
cations concerned made their pur-
chases in nearby States where
they could buy at wholesale prices.
The Commissioners put into ef-
feet an amended regulation to
let them buy at wholesale here.
The order defined international
organizations" as those so desig-
mated by the President and with
offices here.

an order prohibiting use Of tele-
vision in automobiles when cars
are in motion with the television

view of the hazards to traffic
safety that might arise by having
drivers attention diverted.

Residents Lose Fiqht
To Reroufe Bus Line

The Public Utilities Commission
today denied the request of resi-
dents of Van Ness street NV.
that the Capital Transit bus line
be re-routed off that street to
Upton street. block south, be-
tween Thirty-eighth street and
Reno road.
In its order the commission said
the Van Ness street residents are
disturbed principally by the fact
that employees of the Bureau of
Standards take all the parking
space in front of their homes,
thereby depriving the residents
of using the curb space.
This unsatisfactory condition
is not, of course, attributable to
the fact that bus service is run on
Van Ness street." the commission
said. THE cure may lie in the
restriction Of parking to limited
time during the day, and in the
provision of additional parking
space within the grounds of the
Bureau of Standards.
THE commission has requested
the Director of Vehicles and Traf-
f1c to study the possibility of al
leviating the situation by limiting
parking to short periods"
The Commerce Department has
told the commission it has plans to
extend parking areas within the
Bureau of Standards grounds, the
commission said
Parking is prohibited now on
the south side of Van Ness street
from Thirty eighth street to Reno
road.

A poverty stricken paralytic who
embezzled more than $4,000 from
the Montgomery County Liquor
Dispensary was free today because
a Judge thought the pressure OF a
drab existence had been too great
to endure.
Moved by testimony of lifelong
hardships and a personal knoWl-
edge of the mans circumstances,
Judge Charles w. Woodward i'm
posed a generally suspended SEN
tence on Charles w. Embrey, 81,
of Potomac, Md.
Lawyers, court attendants and
spectators wept as the judge, a
stern disciplinarian, stated his
conclusions:
THE pressure of life and his
horrible aff1iction has been too
much for him."
Then, to Embrey, the verdict:
GO home and keep out of
trouble"
For seven years before the short
age was discovered, Embrey was a
cashier at the liquor dispenSary
warehouse in Linden, Md. When
an audit was undertaken to de
termine why beer profits were fall
ing off, he confessed having taken
the money over period of year
and a half.
Out of the stolen funds, the
cashier said, all he used for nim-
self was enough to buy two suits.
The rest was spent to BUY food and
clothing for his sisters, some OF
whom had been taunted by school
mates for wearing cast-off dresses
and coats, and to entertain girl
Embrey thought would marry him.
"She was the only girl I ever
had" he told Judge Woodward. Il
knew she liked to 60 to night clubs
and be given presents and I de-
cided I would have to do these
things for her if I was to hold her.
She was very attractive"
After he started embezzling,
Embrey said, he wanted to stop.
But he was afraid to do so. lest
the shortage be discovered by a
sudden increase in profits.

In $4,000 Montgomery Theft

| Embrey was crippled in both
legs as the result of infantlle pa
ralysis when he was S years old.
He spent 10 years in a charitable
institution.
With considerable difficulty he
managed to graduate from Rich
ard Montgomery High School,
Rockville. But he was one in a
family of 13 children and he need
ed work badly. He got a job as
cobbler's helper at wages OF
81 a week. Eventually he was
taken on by the liquor dispensary
system.
Embrey embezzled the money
from funds deposited by drivers
of beer trucks. He covered short
ages by falsifying the number OF
beer kegs returned to the ware
house. Drivers were permitted to
accept payment from taverns both
in cash and kegs.
County Controller Alex Han
cock said the cashier told of the
embezzlement before the audit es-
tablished there was a shortage,
Trial Magistrate Alger Barbee OF
Rockville testified as to Embrey' S
reliability. Charles w. Buscher
manager of the dispensary. said
the defendant had been loyal
sincere and extremely hard-work-
ing"
Judge Woodward recalled that
he, himself, had given Embrey
rides as hitch-hiker during the
period he was working at the shoe
shop.
