Television has come to the
rescue of the Riggs National
Bank, which found itself burst
ing at the sans in it's historic
but limited main office across
Pennsylvania. avenue from the
Treasury and the White House
A new-type, closed-circuit
television, the camera tube Of
which is about the size of a ci-
gar, has been installed. 1t was
demonstrated for the first time
at ceremonies today.
The new circuit paved the way
for the recent removal Of the
bookkeeping department and
other records to another building
of the bank several blocks away,
at 1903 H street NV. These
records must be readily accesSi-
BILE to customers at the main
Office. Television was the answer.
Now, if a question arises over

ment on the line, and the &C
count several blocks away can be
seen by the customer or bank
official on a 10-inch screen in
stalled in a desk at the main
Office. The desk is turned so
that only the customer or bank
official can see it.

The first record to be trans
mitted at today'S ceremonies at
the 117-year-old location, was a
check written by Abraham Lin
coin in 1861. 1t showed up clearly
on the screen and was followed
by other documents. including
checks written by Francis Scott
Key, Gen. Winfield Scott, Daniel
Webster and Henry Clay. The
bank has served II Presidents,

Arlington Candidate
Announces Platform

Glen Bayless, non-partisan
candidate for the Arlington
County Board, has announced
his platform. including a pro-
poSal to insist on open discus
sion at County Board meetings. 81
Mr.. BaylesS. an editor for Nc
GraW-Hill publications, said he
would demand that the board
give reasons for it's actions and
he said he would spotlight
secret caucuses."
The non-partisan candidate
called for the board to "stop
hiding county audit reports. -
He called for renewal of verbatim
reporting of board meetings.
In other pledges, Mr.. Bayless
said he would urge that the
board stop spelling your neigh
borhood with speculative spot
coming, such as for luxury apart
ments." He said he would insist
that commercial and industrial
activities be carried on in loca-
tions where they will not hurt
residential neighborhoods nor
decrease present commercial
land values.
Mr.. BaylesS said he would
challenge political interference
with educational policies of the
elected school board; oppose
arbitrary budget slashes by the
County Board denying decent
salaries for teachers, and smoke
out the back-door support of
lawsuits threatening children's
education"

Conditional Approval
OF Beer Sale Granted
For Camp Springs

A contested permit for a beer
outlet at Camp Springs today
has a conditional approval of
the Prince Georges County Liquor
Board.
The board, in Upper Marl-
boro yesterday, granted an off,
sale license to the Government
Employees Marketing Service,
Inc. 4987 Branch avenue. =
At the same session, the board
approved five ownership trans
fers and suspended the license
of a Laurel restaurant for SELL
ing whisky after hours to a dep
uty sheriff.
In a written decision. the board
indorsed the Camp Springs ap-
plication on the basis of com
munity need" But the board
indicated it's action may be re-
scinded, if restrictions in area
property deeds barring sales of
alcoholic beverages are upheld
in a court of equity.
A six-day suspension of the
whisky license of the Mid City
restaurant, A Washington bou-
levard, Laurel, was ordered when
the proprietor, Ralph L. Tagli-
alatela, admitted that one of his
mattresses made an after-hours
safe to Chief Deputy Sheriff
Ellis G.. Duley.
Mr.. Taglialatela was convicted
last July in Upper Marlboro po-
lice court for permitting an
illegal sale and was fined $50.
The license suspension will begin
Monday.

|Of Space by Own TV System

Presiding at the ceremonies
were Robert v. Fleming, presi-
dent and board chairman of the
bank; John c. Mccormack, vice
president and cashier, who has
been in charge of the banks re-
modelling operations, and Fran
cis H. Engel, assistant to the
vice president of the RCA Vic
tor Division of Radio Corp. of
America.
Because the use of television
is new to banking, the event
drew a number of the Capitals
business and banking leaders.
Mr.. Fleming pointed out that
television had enabled the Riggs
bank to decentraliZe operating
procedures and release space fol
other departments in the mair
office. Mr.. Mccormack was al
the controls hegFeceiver.
Industrial Adaptation.
The new receiver is an adap-
tion of an industrial TV system
developed by RCA. The camera
tube, heart of the system, is an
inch in diameter and 6 inches
in length, only one-tenth the
size of a standard broadcast TV
camera tube.
w. w. Watts, vice president
in charge of the technical prod
ucts department of the RCA-
Victor Division, said the indus
trial TV system is giving video
a wide range of applications in
factories, steel mills and mines.
The desk in which the tele-
vision screen has been installed
was designed by the Hamilton
Desk Co.. High Point, N. c., and
the electronic equipment was
installed by the American Ampli-
fer & Television Co. of Wash
ington. w. & j. Sloan was the

Three CounciImen
Accused Of Backing
School Budget Cuts

The Executive Board Of the
Montgomery County Council Of
PTAs decided last night in Rock
vile to name names" and make
public the unrecorded vote of
the Montgomery County Coun-
Gil on school budget cuts last
June.
The group argued for several
hours over whether it's executive
board could properly say that
Councilmen J. Louis Monarch.
Grover K. Walker and Louis A.
Gravelle were primarily respon-
sible" for the total of 81 million
cut this summer from the board
of education's budget requests.
A letter from PTA Council
President James @. Reber to
local PTA presidents contained
the controversial accusation
against the three councilmen.
1t credited Council Members
Stella B. Werner and Lathrop E.
Smith with general support of
the School Board request, with
help on some items from Coun-
Gilman George F. Nesbitt and
Harold H. Hammond.
Although the letter did not
state the source of the voting
information. Mr.. Reber referred
several times last night to talks
with Lathrop Smith,"
Under provisions of the Mont
gomery County Charter the
county councils vote goes un-
recorded unless one or more
members request that a record
vote be taken.
Mr.. Reber, in defending the
propriety of revealing the coun-
cil's lineup. termed remarkable
in democracy" the necessity for
such information to come to the
public through a group such as
the PTA.
The PTA group, after three
hours, discussion approved the
letter. which also asked presi-
dents to report to the PTA coun-
Gil such deficiencies at their
schools that might be attributal
to the budget cuts.
The PTA letter also asks that
