on charges Of selling intoxic ating
beverages to a minor. Morris Fol-
conner, q 1s-year-old Navy man,
pleaded guilty to charges of buy
ing and consuming intoxicating
beverages.
Both Wolfson and Folcomer were
fined 500 and costs.
Police 1t. Joe (Buster) Cerezo
stated that he and Joe Russell,
State Beverage Inspector for Mon
roe County, arrested Folcomer and
Wolfson after an inspection of the
Preview Lounge where the Navy
minor was found to be drinking.
Pleads Not Guilty
Wolfson pleaded not guilty and
in his testimony stated that about
five months ago he checked Fol-
comer's age from his I'D card
whenever he entered the premises,
but since he (Folcomer} was a re.
gular customer, he became known
50 that it was not considered nee.
essary to check the age any more.
Folcomer testified that he had
used an altered age on his iden-
tfication card about five months
ago. He added that they used TO
check his card but since he pa
tfonized the place about three or
four times a week they quit look
ing at his card.
On presenting his I'D card to the
court, he admitted that it was the
same one he had altered in the
past.
Demonstrates Forgery
FolcOmer demonstrated his for
gerry technique to the court after
Judge Esquinaldo requested some
Scotch tape from the City Clerks
office.
Folcomer said that he had taken
a small piece of paper and typed
the number 20" and placed it over

was born.
Folcomer also testified that his
wallet had been stolen on the ship
and that the Navy authorities had
discovered his forgery.
When questioned by Judge Es-
quinaldo, Folcomer stated that the
legal officer had returned the card
to him without charging him with
the offense. He said that the ex.
ecutive officer was so happy to

pie than ''these congressional
hearings. He refused comment as
to which of the two battling groups
he sympathized with.
More Calls To Report
With the hearings in recess until
Monday, several more of the phone
calls between Stevens and subcom-
mittee members and the Mccarthy
camp principals remained to 60
into the public records. The calls
were originally taken down in
shorthand by Stevens secretarial
staff.
Still to come are the calls of
Sen. Mcclellan DARK, and of
Mccarthy and his aides-and all
were promised when the proceed
ings start again before the TV
cameras Monday.
The six-weeks-old hearings came
to an explosive climax yesterday
in fast-b kin 6 developments
over Army charges that Mccarthy
and his staff sought preferential
treatment for Schine after he en-
tered the Army, and Mccarthy
counter-charges that the Army
used Schine as a hostage" to

in Army installations. Mccarthy

Miller was later released
on $500 bond set by Grim
inal Court Judge Thomas S.
Caro- after he was picked up
on the violation warrant.
The arrest was ordered by
the county commission. They
charge that Miller has flout-
ed coming laws.
1t marks the second time in re-
cent months that Miller has run
afoul of zoning laws - he was ar
rested earlier by city police after
he constructed an addition to his
Key Tackle Shop on Roosevelt
Boulevard without obtaining a per-
NIT and in violation of coming. He
was fined SIS in city court at that
time, but no action was taken in
forcing him to tear down the addi-
ton.
Permit Denied
The present situation arose when
Miller announced his intention to
build a trailer park in an area
zoned for residence on Stock Is
land on the road leading to a drive
In theater.
About two months ago, Miller Pc.
ttioned the county commission to
change the coming to allow cons.
truction of the trailer park. They
set public hearing at mich time,
several Stock Island resiaents APP
peared to protest building of the
trailer park and the commission
turned down his request.
The protests were based on the
premise that there are several ex.
pensive homes being built in the
area. The residents also complain
ed that because of the proximity
OF the trailer park to the drive-in
theater and the dog track, heavy
traffic would create a hazard, par
ticularly because of the expected
large number of children who
would presumably reside there.
Miller also applied for a permit
to build the trailer camp from Jess
Stone, county building inspector.
He was turned down on the basis
that it was illegal.
Construction Started
But Miller went ahead and start
ed construction anyhow. At the
present, sewage and water facili-
ties have been installed and the
park has been graded. It was re-
ported today that at least three
three trailers have already been
moved onto the property.
County Commissioner Joe Allen
said today that he, along with the
other commissioners, have been
beseiged with complaints about the
alleged law violation. He said to-
day that he feels it is his duty TO
see that zoning laws are enforced.
IF they want to throw the law
out, it is alright by me - but as
long as it is on the books. it is
our duty to enforce it," said Allen.
We have got to protect Stock
Island home-owners," he added,
I'VE can't enforce the law on some
people and let others do what they
want"
Penalty for violation of county
coming laws can range up to a six
month jail term, upon conviction.
1t was also pointed out today that
it is continuing offense" - that
every day Miller remains in viola.
ton constitutes an additional law
infraction.
The County commissioners have
indicated that they will stand firm
in requiring the law to be in en-
forced.

Building Funds Urged
For Geological Survey

A Senate Appropriations SUBJ
committee today was urged to
approve $4,000 already passed
by the House for planning a new
building for the Geological Sur
vey in this area.
w. E. 'Wrather, director of the
Survey, testified for the project
before a Senate subcommittee
considering the House passed
Interior Department appropria-
ton bill for next fiscal year.
The witness said the Govern
ment agency was operating "un-
der severe physical handicaps
caused by unsuitable and dis
persed housing"
At the present time, the di-
rector said, the survey occupies
space in l6 separate buildings
throughout the Washington me-
tropolitan area.
This condition causes adj
miniStrative problems" he testi-
fed. Some of the quarters are
fine hazards and are generally
unsuitable for Survey needs.
Adequate communication and
supervision cannot be main
tanned under these conditions
and the efficiency of the Sur
vey's operations is necessarily
lowered.

Navy Looks Into Crash
Damaging Bridge Fender

Navy officials today were
checking into the cause of a
barge crashing into the center
fender of the South Capitol
Street Bridge over the Anacostia
River.
The barge, carrying two rail-
way box cars under the tow of
a Naval Gun Factory tugboat.
ripped up about 70 feet of the
timber piling, which guards the
pivot pier of the bridges swing
span. Damage estimates ranged
from $4,000 to $4,000.
Sergt. Roy Cunningham of the
Metropolitan Police Harbor Pre-
cinct gave this report:
The Navy tug, operated by
Boatswain's Mate Frederick Boil
ling and Engineman First Glass
Calvin L. Thompson, was head
ing downstream toward Bellevue
The craft slackened speed and
swung out of line to permit an
upstream tug-barge combination
to pass beneath the bridge.
Balky motors in the Navy tug
forestalled efforts to pull the
barge away from the pier
fender.
Highway Director John N.
Robertson reported no damage
was done to the bridge proper

Producers Resist Dairy Move
7oCut Farm Price of Milk

fore production costs are some
what higher.
Mr.. Derrick said he was not
disturbed over the existing milk
surpluses-"they come and 60"
He reminded the milk commits
sion that this area currently has
a 10-inch shortage of rainfall
and predicted that well have
our tongues hanging out for
milk in mid-July."
Mr.. Derrick said the milk
surplus hadn't cost the dis
tributors anything as it is taken
care of by the producers.
The producers also told the
milk commission that they al
ready had suffered an income
cut this year because of lower
Government price supports on
certain dairy products.
Surplus Cited.
Representatives of Chestnut
Farms-Chevy Chase, Alexandria
Dairy and Thompson Dairy told
the commission at the outset of
a hearing in Alexandria this
area currently enjoys more than
an adequate supply of milk
which should justify lower prices.
r. H. Rawlins, Thompson pro-
duction manager, specifically
urged a reduction of l cent per
quart in the price of retail milk,
and cut of 46 cents per hun
dredweight in the price of fluid
wholesale milk.
Mr.. Rawlins cited recent milk
price reductions in two dozen
other cities.
1T is quite apparent that in
order to bring the local Glass l
price in line with other fluid
milk market declines" said Mr..
Rawlins, 1.-The present price will
have to be reduced by at least
one cent per quart"
Glass l milk is that sold for
bottling as Grade A milk.
Mr.. RaWlins said the price re-
duction would reduce the pro-
ducers incentive to turn out more
milk and give the consumers
added incentive to use more
milk. He declared the price re-
ductlon may we'll be the answer
to the supply demand problem.
Amount Unspecified.
Maurice Dawson of Chestnut
Chevy Chase urged re-
duction without specifying any
amount. He declared, however.
that any cut in producer prices
should be at the rate Of % cents
or As cents per hundredweight.
and that retail prices should be
adjusted at the rate of a half
cent per quart for each % cents
per hundredweight in the pro-
Queer prices.
