tee today reported favorably
bills amending District insur-
ance and tax refund laws.
Unopposed at public hear
ing was a measure designed to

business in the District. The
bill sponsored by Representa-
tive Ayres. Republican of Ohio,
would permit any company
chartered by its home State
prior to 1910, operating on the
stock plan and maintaining a
surplus of 100000 or more, to
be considered a stock company
for purposes of meeting Dis
trict requirements,
Also unoppoSed was a bill
sponsored by Representative
Mcmillan. Democrat of South
Carolina, to revise the tax re-
fund requirements IN, the Dis
trict to bring them into line
with Federal law. The revision
has particular reference to in
heritance and estate taxes
The proposed revision was
backed by James C. Rogers,
general counsel Of the District
Bankers Association which pro-
posed the legislation.
The favorable action was
taken by a subcommittee
headed by Representative Mat
thews, Democrat of Florida.

Members Of the council met
privately in Mr.. Reese's office
for IS minutes this morning.

feeling and a degree of mixed
emotion that I have decided to
accept the position because l
feel 1t is in the best interests

the letter.
Council President Grover
Walker said the resignation was
accepted with great regret. He
added that he hoped the Miami
city commissioners would al
low Mr.. Reese to remain in his
present post until March 81
because of the pressure OF
budget plans.
IF it is impossible for you
to remain until that date, we
will consider March 10 as the
final date" Mr.. Walker told
Mr.. Reese.
The exact date of his de-
parture will be determined
within the next few days, Mr..
Reese said.
Council Praises Him
Councilman Stanley Frosh
pointed out that Mr.. Reese has
taken only one brief vacation
during his tenure in Montgom-
cry County and suggested that
the council determine the

motion was unanimously passed
by the council.

we'll not only for him. but also
for our form of government
here"

ately for a successor TO Mr..

DR.. Beck was chosen unani-

position is an unsalaried one.
The new member, who has a

He and Mrs. Beck have four

Union Station Meters
Involve New Conflict

A legislators protest against
paying $l1.20 to park his car
at a privately owned meter
beside Union Station today
ballooned into conflicting pro-
posals for a new law and a
change in police regulations.
The two proposals would

Mr.. Nottingham has held up
nearly all dealer licenses until
the dealers supply detailed in
formation required. He said he
plans to request the additional
information via mail to dealers
late this week. The information
will range from proof of trust
worthineSS to identification OF
those who control the firms
directly or indirectly.
This information is expected
to reveal the close association
between certain used car deal
ers and auto financing firms.
The regulations create a
hearing committee within the
Board Of Appeals and Review, to
handle appeals from decisions
to deny, suspend or revoke dealer
licenses. Previously, this testi.
mony has been heard by the
boards hearing officer, and the
board simply has acted on his
findings. Under this procedure
no dealer lost his license in the
past five years.
Under the new regulations
a dealer can lose his license fol-
material misstatement on his
application for a license, fol
failure to comply with any OF
the dealer regulations, for de-
frauding a car purchaser or

THE INFORMATION MAN

asked sympatnetlcally:
Are you still hurting?"
Mr.. Alexis replied yes.
Then" said Mr.. shamel,
go ahead and tell about it."
1t seems that the WASH
ington job calls for GIG emu
merators.
This is based on the 1850
census, which showed a pop
ulation of So2,19S. There had
been an estimated wartime
peak Of 881 900 in 1914 The
1859 estimates were $4,000.
No one is betting that that
will be even close, but that's
not the problem. It's the 616
enumerators.
Mr.. Alexis was a little re-
luctant in outing with it,
but he needs 500 more. And
the count starts a month
from today.
While the census jobs are
filled in nearby Maryland
and Virginia, he can accept
only residents of the Dis
trict. Good old Government
red tape.
It's a piecework iob-so
much for an empty house,
so much for one with five
residents. Census assign
ments, covering a given area,
pay an average of $145. 1t
takes at least two weeks to
complete the assignment and
pocket the money. 1t may
take three but should not
take more.
Those who want to help on
the census have to take an
examination and one of the
problems in the District is
that most of the applicants
have been flunking.
The compensation for CEN
sus taking has been in
creased since the last decen-
NAL census in 1850. But still
1t apparently is not attrac-
tive enough in the big cities.
The current situation of
full employment-that is the
working wife-is making re-
cruitment difficult.
The situation is especially
acute in New York City. Of
ficials of the bureau are
hoping that the appeal of
public service will bring out
enough qualified volunteers
In time to get the job done.

Some of them changed names
only since License Supt. c. T.
Nottingham denied their APP
lplicationS for license renewal.
They have stayed in business
pending the outcome of actions
in court and the Board of APP
peals and Review.
Mr.. Nottingham said he would
serve Summonses on all dealers
whose trade names are different
from the names under which
they are licensed. He said that
under new regulations, dealers
should have applied before to-
day for a license in the name
under which they do business.
He estimated that at least so
dealers would receive sum-
monses. He said he was going
to treat them all alike-that he
would not make a distinction
between dealers who have used
the same trade name for many
years and those who have
changed only recently.
The new regulations are
aimed at correcting many mis-
leading and deceptive practices

ing aspects of the rackets are

The first census of the
Christian era was ordered
by Augustus Caesar when (ac-
cording to st. Luke Cyrenius
was governor Of Syria.
Everyone was to 60 to his
city to be counted and taxed.
The order caused Joseph
to 90 from Nazareth to Beth
lehem with his wife Mary,
who was great with child"
No record of that census
survived so we do not know
whether Caesars head count
ers found the infant in the
manger. There would be little
doubt today that He would
be counted.
On April i, 1960-years aft

A frail mother of four children,
who once told police her q
Iyear-old daughter shot and
killed her husband, has pleaded
guilty to second-degree muir.
der.
Soft spoken Mrs. Lillian
Chastaln, 30, faces a possible
sentence of from 5 to 20 years
in the fatal shooting of her
carpenter husband, Truitt, 81,
last June II.
Sentencing was deferred by
Circuit Court Judge Arthur w.
Sinclair until April 20.
In a voice barely audible
above the ticking Of the old
clock in the Prince William
County Courthouse, Mrs. Chas-
tain yesterday said she had lost
her head in a fit of anger over
finances and shot her husband
with a .32-caliber revolver.
81 Was So Upset"
II was just so upset and so
angry at that particular mo-
ment and the gun was handy
and I picked it up" Mrs. Chas--
tain told the court.
I'D been under pressure for
so long. I'm not sure what my
mental standing was at the
time
IF I'd known what I was
doing. I never would have
picked up the gun. AS soon
as I'd done it, / realized what
l had done"
Mrs. Chastain first had told
police she had heard a noise in
the bedroom of their new home
on Route 621, 3 miles south of
here.
She said then that she had
gone in and found her husband
dying from a bullet wound in
the chest.
2-Year4Old Accused
The pistol, she had said, was
in the hands of her 2-year -old
daughter.
The sheriff at the time,
Turner Wheeling. ruled the
case a suicide last June 30. On
August /. after Mrs. ChaStain
had protested the suicide ruling.
Sheriff Wheeling modified his
position and said the case was
still open.
A new sheriff, Ralph Sliu--
mate, took over the first Of
the year. About 2Ia weeks ago,
he asked State Police Investi-
gator Jack Hall to look into
the case.
Mr.. Hall. working with Fair
fax County Detective Robert
Keywood, questioned Mrs.
Chastian and she admitted the
crime. both policemen testified.
''Tired of Whole Mess"
Mrs. Chastian, who wore a
black dress and brown 'oafers
for her court appearance, told
Judge Sinclair:
Il was tired of the whole ,
mess I wanted it out in the
open. .. You can't live with
something like that"

Sinclair to set Mrs. Chastian

happen"

passed, 81 10 ~. 1t now goes
to the Senate.
The measure would repeal
the location-option feature of
the pupil placement law which
took effect only last midnight.
Commencing today, localities
would be able to exempt them
selves from the State pupil
placement act and assign stu
dents locally.
The local assignment law was
part of last years package of
bills, backed by Gov. Almond
and the Perrow Commission, to
provide freedom of choice" in
minimizing racial indignation
in public schools.
Board Resigns
Members of the State Pupil
Placement Board held their last
official meeting yesterday be-
fore resigning, effective today
Gov. Almond has not yet ap-
pointed successors.
Senator Perrow said he would
make an unofncial nose count
in the Senate to determine how
closely his forces have remained
together since last years special
session. He said he believed he
could muster sufficient votes to
defeat the bill but admitted II
could be a close vote either way
A Senator in the massive re-
sistance" bloc, who asked that
his name not be used, predicted
that his faction has grown in
strength as a result of last No
vember's elections and that the
bill will be sent on to the Gov
ernor.
Delegate James M. Thomson
of Alexandria, a leader of the
opposition to the Almond
Perrow school program in 1859,
offered the pending legisla-
ton to repeal local-option
His bill is designed to keep all
assignments under the State
Board.
Effective July
The House Education Com
mittee reported the bill yester-
day, 1916.
The bill, If passed by the
Senate and signed by the Gov
ernor, could not take effect
until about July !.
Gov. Almond. however, Is ex-
pected by many legislators to
veto the measure if it reaches
his desk. Some have claimed
that the bill was designed to
embarTasS the Governor by fac
ing him with a veto decision.
Mr.. Thomson said there were
two major considerations In
offering the legislation:
l. There should be a uniform
State policy in pupil assign
ments instead of having some
children assigned by a State
board and others assigned
locally, and,
2. "Inadequacies" in the law
enacted last year.
Delegate Harrison Mann of
Arlington, a member of the
former Perrow Commission, led
the fight against the Thomson
bill. In defeating the right of
localities to take over assign
ment power from the State, he
declared:
II challenge any member to
show me one single case of in
tegration that has been avoided
by the State Pupil Placement
Board"
