Mr.. Bendheim won the po-
sition by receiving the highest
number Of votes in the recent
council election.
Mayor Beverley was aware
that some frowned on his con-
slant ventures into the public
limelight.
''Let 'em talk" he would
chuckle. And on and on he went
to appear on national television
programs. to storm the heights
Of Albanv, N. Y. in quest Of an

Bank, where he is a vice presi-
dent, are cluttered with photo
graphs Of the energetic mayor
and celebrities who have come
to know him - including Hop

None could predict what
Mayor Beverley would be up to
next. At 43, he can outwalk and
outtalk the most vivacious teen

council members felt safe about
predicting was that they could
find his name in the newspapers
almost any day.
There was the time he decided
to tackle low-flying airplaneS.
Everyone agreed they were a
nuisance. but no one thought
anything could be done about it.

produce a driving license that
was in effect before the arrest
If they can, the Judge said. there

A similar procedure is fol-

approved only after q flare-up

toned whether Mr.. Cooper was
