SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 10
(AP)-Willie Mays is making
advances other than on the
basepaths, his financial coun-
selor says.
Edward F. Resiny, who han
dies the Giant centerfielder's
mixed-up money dealings, said
in Superior Court yesterday
that Mays is spending his sal
|ary from the club long before
he gets it.
Rosiny told Judge Joseph
Karesh that Mays had collected
$65, 200 in advance from the
Giants to meet urgent obli-
cations.
But, Rosiny said. Mays still
owes $s,641 in Federal. New
York and California taxes on
his 1860 income.
Rosiny said Mays was try
ing to live on $1,000 a month
he gets in advance from the
Giants management. OF this,
he must pay $1,000 a month to
his estranged wife. Marghue-
rite, for herself and their son,
Michael Mays, 21a.
Judge Karesh continued Mrs
Mays separate maintenance

Snow and Cold
HitWideAreas
By the Associated Press

A widespread storm heaped
snow on the Midwest yesterday.
Snow and freezing rain spread
eastward to the Appalachians
and Middle Atlantic coastal
states.
Sub-zero cold drove into the
Plains, Northern Rockies and
Upper Great Lakes region be-
hind the storm.
Continuing snow reached
depths up to 9 inches in Kansas,
7 inches in Iowa and Missouri,
6 inches in Minnesota.
Icy road conditions made
driving hazardous as sleet and
freezing rain spread over a
belt from Arkansas through the
Ohio Valley and into the Appla-
chians.
At least 10 deaths were at
tributed to the weather, in
cluding that of a Federal
labor-management conciliator,
George w. Squires. so. who
collapsed while shoveling snow
at his Belleville, Ill. home. Ne
braska and Ohio reported two
deaths each, and one apiece
were reported by Iowa, Indiana,
Kentucky, Kansas and South
Dakota. Most were killed in
crashes caused by slippery
roads.
The cold surge, which
dropped the mercury to % be-
low zero in Havre, Mont, early
yesterday, brought Weather
Bureau cold wave warnings for
portions of Nebraska and Kan
sas, and predictions of subzero
readings last night in Upper
Minnesota and Michigan, and
Western and Northern Iowa,
with sharp cold spreading south
and eastward.
Snow accumlations from the
Mississippi Valley to Pennsyl-
vania and New York were ex-
pected to be as much as four
inches by this morning, with
some heavier local falls.

into Berlin, one moved out.
So far, there have been no
incidents. United States con-
voy commanders reported that
the Russians. responsible for
checking Allied traffic at the
border checkpoints Of Babels-
berg and Marienborn, were be-
having correctly and courte-
ouSly.
Dispatch Discounted
An earlier dispatch by Mr.
Ivanov attacking United States
autobahn movements was dis
counted by the United States
State Department. A depart
ment spokesman in Washington
said the Tass attack was not
accompanied by any communi-
cation from the Soviet govern
ment.
The official East German ra-
dio charged meanwhile that,
while the Americans were COM
mitting provocations on the
autobahn. "other elements who
are only interested in blocking
a settlement of the Berlin issue
were attempting to start fresh
provocations in the railroad
traffic between West Germany
and West Berlin"
East Germany's star radio
commentator, Karl Eduard Won
Schnitzler. claimed there had
been a sharp increase of acts
of sabotage against Berlin's ele-
waited network.

boundary line between West
Berlin and the East German
countryside. Western police
said the group had wanted to
help the mother of one of the
girls escape to West Berlin.
Five fled safely from the
guns, but the Austrian fell and
was quickly dragged behind
the wire. His body was seen
lying on the ground there for
more than two hours. Police
identified him as Dieter Woohl-
fahrt, student at the Free
University of West Berlin.
Earlier today East Berlin po-
lice opened fire with subma-
chineguns at four West Berlin
youngsters standing near the
border at Spandau. The young
sters managed to escape un-
hurt.
Protest Movements
Russians reiterated charges
that United States troop move
ments along the autobahn be-
tween West Berlin and West
Germany are an open military
demonstration aimed at sharp
ening the situation in Europe.
The charges came in Berlin
report of the official Soviet
new agency Tass. The Tass ar
ticle was carried by Adm, the
East German news agency.
Tass correspondent Vladimir
Ivanov wrote that another aim
of American troop movements
was to turn West Berlin into a
NATO stronghold. He was re-
ferring to the march along the
ll0-mile highway of two United
States battle groups.
They are the lst Battle
Group, 18th Infantry, which
came to Berlin after the border
closure August 13, and the lst

Bus LOADING
Bays Studied
For Shirley

Bus loading bays along Shir-
ley highway are being con-
sidered by the new Washington
Metropolitan Area Transit
Commission and Virginia high
way officials.
Preliminary studies show that
bus bays could be useful at a
number of important inter-
changes along Shirley, includ-
ing stops at these crossings:
Franconia road, the Capital
Beltway, Edsall road, Duke
street, Seminary road, King
street, the Parkfairfax shopping
area, Glebe road and Ridge
road.
Officials of the new transit
regulatory body estimate that
the cost of the bus facilities
would run about $4,000 to
$4,000 for Shirley highway
alone. Similar developments
on other new highway projects
also are being considered
throughout the Washington
region.
Prompt Action Urged
Delmer Ison, executive direc-
tor of the transit commission,
noted that highway construc-
tion is moving along and "un-
less we provide express bus fac
ilities at the time of construc-
tion it will be much more
costly to do so once the roads
are built"
Shirley highway is getting
primary attention at this point
because plans are soon to start
on widening this major Vir-
ginia communter artery.
