City Heads Reissue
Hackers Permits 10
2 Accused Drivers

f1dCkGTS pGTu1lCS IOT TWO CdXl-
cab drivers who ran afoul of the
law were re-issued today by the
District Commissioners.
Acting because Of split deci-
sions by the Board Of Revoca-
ton and Review of Hackers
Identification Licenses, the Com
missionerS ordered permits
granted to Charles Carmelo Fava,
AZ, of 3717 Kennedy street, West
Hyattsville, Md, and Winfield L.
Burrell, 80, of 1408 Lawrence
street NE.
Mr.. Fava's permit was re-
issued despite pleas by Police 1t.
Lee Hensley that it be denied
on the grounds that Mr.. Fava
had used his taxi in committing
a felony to take number and
horse race bets.
Nathan Lubar, a member of
the hackers review board, ar
gued that Mr.. Fava had had to
give up his trade as a painter
because of a circulatory condi-
ton in his legs which makes 1t
impossible for him to work while
standing. He took up cab driv-
ing and later turned to numbers
bets after his own and his wife's
illness had thrown him into debt.
Cite Numbers Conviction.
1t. Hensley pointed out the
Commissioners had once eX-
tended Mr.. Fava's permit pend
ing court action on the lottery
charges, requiring that they be
notified If Mr.. Fava were found
guilty.
1t. Hensley said Mr.. Fava
pleaded guilty, drew a 6 to 18
months suspended sentence and
was put on probation for two
years, but did not notify the
Commissioners.
The Commissioners granted a
renewal after Mr.. Lubar con-
tended mo crime of moral tur-
pitude," and asked, What can
he do to earn a living other
wise?"
Reject Second Plea.
The Commissioners also re-
jected the argument of Charles
Hefiin of the traffic department
and G. Adolph Turner, assistant
to Commissioner Camalier. that
Mr., Burrell not be issued a
hackers license.
Again Mr.. Lubar pleaded and
won clemency, contending his
fellow members of the hackers
board were acting on the basis
of a criminal case in which Mr..
Burrell had been found not
guilty.
The case involved an incident
in which Mr.. Burrell was driving
east on Suitland parkway on Au-
gust 2, 1853. A woman compan-
ion fell out of the car and Mr..
Burrell later was charged with
simple assault, but was freed by

Federal Personnel
Assured Sick Leave
Tax Exemptions

Internal Revenue Service off,
cials said today they have tenta-
lively agreed that Government
civilian and military personnel
are entitled to the same tax ex-
emptions for certain sick leave
as are the rest of the country's
taxpayers.
The new tax law granting
these tax benefits to the Nations
taxpayers had not mentioned
Federal employees specifically and
some Government officials
weren't sure as to the intent OF
the law.
However, an Internal Revenue
spokesman said today: "We are
certain that Congress intended
civilian and military personnel in
Government to benefit from
these sick leave exemptions the
same as every one else. The new
law doesn't say anything about
excluding Federal civilian and
military personnel and therefore
they are included under the
broad provisions of the act"
Under the new tax law, sick
leave pay up to 500 a week is
exempt from income tax. There
is no limit on the time the
credit will be allowed. II an
employe is paid less than 500 a
week in sick pay, the entire
amount will be exempt.
The exemption on sick leave
starts the first day an employe
is injured or hospitalized. Other
wise, it will be allowed at the
beginning of the eighth day OF
illness.
However, if an employe is out
sick for 25 days and if he is
hospitalized for any one day
of that period, his sick pay for
the entire period is tax exempt.
Internal Revenue officials said
this provision in the new tax
law is intended to help persons
who have long illnesses.

After Clash by Two

Council today began considera-

rary zoning ordinance for the
Upper County after a clash be-
tween Louis A. Gravelle. Repub-
lican, and Mrs. Stella B. Wer-
ner, Democrat.
A motion by Mr.. Gravelle to
table the ordinance failed after
Mrs. Werner accused him refus-
ing to face up to controversial
issues. Mrs. Werner was the
leader of the move to "at least
go through the ordinance and
see what is here"
The Council has had copies of
the ordinance for several months
and has held a public hearing
on it at which farmers and land
owners of the rural area bitterly
attacked it's rigid regulations and
urged that it be- tabled and left
for the new Council.
Mr.. Gravelle asked the council
whether it wanted ito insist upon
an ordinance that does not meet
with the approval" of Upper
County residents.
do we want to tell these prop
erty owners what they need
rather than to give them what
they want and what they feel is
necessary?" Mr.. Gravelle asked.
Mrs. Warner Immediately be-
gan an attack on what she
termed the "Gravelle method" of
"tabling controversial issues" ="
She drew an objection from J.
Louis Monarch.
Although asserting that the
councils policy has been to study
ordinances carefully, Mrs. War
ner added that she was not in
a position to say whether time
permitted full consideration of
the ordinance.
Certainly we should not bind
ourselves and do nothing with
it," she said.
The council, after Mr.. Gra-
velle's motion failed for lack
of a second, tegan a section
by-section consideration of the
lengthy ordinance and reached
tentative agreement to estab-
lish sixth zone known as rural
