Man Held for Jury
In $1,329 Theft Says
Tin Cab Robbed Him

A Washington man was held for
grand jury action today after ad-
mitting he stole $1,329 from an
Arlington delicatessen, but he said
he was robbed few minutes later
when he was hijacked after trans
ferring from one taxicab to an
other.
William Edward Padgett, "a, Of
the 1900 block Of Shannon place
Sc, pleaded guilty to grand lar
ceny in Arlington County Court
yesterday and was jailed in lieu
Of $4,000 bond.
Detective Walter Kadel told
this story:
Padgett. an assistant manager
Of the Bancroft Delicatessen. 1905
Columbia pike, closed the place
Tuesday night. had a few drinks
in Washington and returned to
the store. There he opened the
safe, removed the money and
hailed a cab for Waynesboro, Va.
He was afraid of the two men
in the front seat of the cab and
got out at a gasoline station near
Seven Corners at the edge of Falls
Church. He called another cab
but after riding into Falls Church
he claims the first taxi with the
two men pulled alongside and
"hijacked" him. He says the two
men then took the $1.329 from
him.
Padgett gave himself up in
Washington the next day when
he heard police wanted him on a
warrant sworn out by Morris Flax,
manager of the delicatessen. After
hearing his story Arlington police
questioned a cab driver and a man
said to have been riding with him.
Police released the two, however,
after the driver said Padgett had
given him 5000. Police said they
do not know where the missing
money is.

Chartering Of Towns
BY the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE, June 2.-The
State Fiscal Research Bureau be-

corporate towns.
Instead. bureau report to Gov.
Lane today said power should be
delegated to boards of county
commissioners or other appro-
pirate local boards set up for the
purpose.
AS it now stands, each COM
munity that wants to incorporate
must first go to the Legislature,
which draws up the charter.
The report expressed fear that
if the system is continued much
longer it will become a form of

The report recommends that
the General Assembly enact a law
under which communities could
incorporate only if they meet GER

Those standards would be ap-
piled and judged by the county
commissioners or some other local
board.
