ANNAPOLIS, Md, Aug. g.
Magistrates Court never had so
large an audience. It's on the air,

what happens to law breakers,
says Magistrate Samuel Schenker
And they don't have to stir out

Youth Exchanges $508, 666 for $2783

Another income tax refund
check was mailed out today to
Jay G. Beisser, 18-year-old Rock
vile, Md. high school student
who earlier this week got one
from the Treasury for $5O8, 1862
But this time it was for the
correct amount-a paltry $21.83.
Along with it went 80 cents in
stamps and personal note of
thanks from Paul D. Banning,
chief disbursing officer for the
Treasury Department.
The stamps, which came out of
Mr.. Banning's own pocket, were
to reimburse Jay for the cost of
returning by registered mail the
big check-a half-million dollar
"boner" officials blamed on a.
check-Writing machine and not
so-alert proofreader.
ut was the first mistake in
more than five years and after
more than 100 million checks
written in the Washington
regional office of the disbursing
division" these officials declared.
Told Boss of Error.
Jay works for $50 a week as a
during the SUNNI e ri
months for the J.. w. Wisner &
Sons hardware store on the Rock
vile pike. Mr.. Wisner called the
Treasury to report the error three
days after Jay had received the
staggering sum and brought it toI
his attention.
At first, Mr.. Wisner was greeted
by confident disbelief. But by the
time he completed his story, the
Treasury officials were making
embarrassed admissions.
Powerful Temptation.
They explained there was a
minor error in the original check
for $21.83, that it was redrawn
and the amount of the new check
in dollars and cents was the same
as it's serial number, 5O866626.

Bethesda Firms Ask
Council Veto
OF Parking Lot Bill

Arguments by Bethesda bust
tnessmen urging that the COM
munity's public parking lot bill
be vetoed were being studied to-
day by the Montgomery County
Council,
Passed at the councils legisla-
tive session in May, the measure
will become effective August Is
If the veto request is denied.
Opposition at a hearing last
might centered on amendments
which provide:
/. That to be exempt from the
special Accent parking lot tax, a
merchant must provide his own
parking facilities directly opposite
or adjacent to his property.
2. That such facilities must be
open to the public.
3. That the lots be paved &C
Icording to county road speciflca-
tons.
Protest Lack of Hearings.
Opponents also objected to the
lack Of a public hearing on the
amendments before they were
adopted.
James R. Miller, representing
Charles F. Miller, owner of ex-
tensive commercial and industrial
properties in Bethesda, claimed
his client had complied with the
coming ordinance, which requires
that parking facilities be provided
within 500 feet and that they
serve the need of a particular
business. To comply with the
amendment requiring adjacent or
across-the-street parking would
work hardship on his client, the
attorney commended.
Arthur Hanson, representing
the Safeway Stores, and Joseph
Simpson, jr., representing the
Hot Shoppes, Inc, objected to the
provision requiring that parking
facilities be open to the general
public. This. in effect, is the con-
flscation of private property with
out compensation, they argued.
AS property owners, they would
pay commercial tax on land not
used by them, the attorneys as
serted.
Parking Study Suggested.
Mr.. Simpson said that in the
case of the Hot Shoppes it would
be virtually impossible for them
to continue their business if their
parking facilities were opened to
the public.
He was supported by Clarence
kelser, attorney for the Bethesda
parking lot committee.
Others speaking against the bill
State Senator Dewitt
Hyde, representing the Chevy
Chase Motors. and John r. Reeves,
representing the Bethesda Cham
Der of Commerce. Mr.. Reeves
suggested that committee of cit
liens, businessmen and planning
specialists be appointed to work
out some solution to the parking
problems before next May.
j. Louis Monarch, council pres
ldent, said the Bethesda bill was
amended to make it conform to
the Wheaton, Montgomery Hills,
and Silver Spring parking lot bill.
Mrs. Stella Werner, council mem
Der from Bethesda reminded him,
however, that the Bethesda bill
is unlike the other parking meas
ures in that it does not allow
the county to buy parking sites in
residential areas
