OFF ON TV

Inelr salaries vary, OF course, Wlln
their importance in a series and its
length on the air. They never see the
money, naturally; only the customary
(and reasonably allowances.
WELL PROTECTED
Thanks to the Jackie Coogan case,
their contracts must be approved by
the courts. Part of their wages go
into trust funds; part into United
States bonds, and part to their par
ents for living expenses"
The parent who wants these ex-
penses increased must go to court.
A star-a Lori Martin, or Jon
Provost-may make up to $l,5OO a
week. Ronny Howard, who comes
after Andy Griffith and the other
adults on the series, may make about
$500 week, with a contract calling
for raises each year plus extra money
when he stars in a sequence.

Another law requires four hours of
schooling per day, no matter what
the shooting schedule. If the child
actor works in the morning, then the
producer must either lay off the crew
the rest of the day or shoot "around"
the youngster.
At best, however, it is an unnatural
scheme for growing up. (Just ask
Mickey Rooney.)
LORI THE OLDEST
Of TVS top young stars, Lori is the
oldest (and she'd like to play her
real age, l4) then Dennis and Jon,
born in 1850, then Jay and Angela
(1952), and finally Ronny (l954). What
would they like to be when they
grow up?

Savings Firm Receiver
Would Drop Insurance

Earl Nash, receiver for the
Military Service Savings & Loan
Association, said today he is
exploring the possibility" of
dropping the $1,005 monthly
insurance payments the closed
firm is still making on its share
holders accounts.
The payments, so far totaling
$3,015, have been made to the
Security Financial Insurance
Corp, a Baltimore firm which
is the only licensed private in
surer Of savings and loan asso-
Citations in the State.
The problem is complicated,
Mr.. Nash explained, because a
determination must be made as
to when SFIC's liability for the
savers accounts takes effect.
He has continued the monthly
premiums, he explained, de-
spite the fact that military
service is not doing any busi-
ness, so as to avoid any future
risk to shareholders rights to
insurance.
On the other hand, he
pointed out, he and his at
torney must decide whether
further payments are unneces-
sary in view of the orders on
November 2 and January 8
placing the savings and loan
firm in receivership.

they did not want to act on the

Brewster Denies Ties
To Any Loan Firm

Tawes for pushing through"
the 1861 bill to regulate savings
and loan associations. He de-
Tended Gov. Tawes' veto of the
1860 legislation on the grounds
the bill was "very weak"
Mr.. Brewster said savings
and loan regulations should
have been enacted much earlier,
but he said it was not until
lately that the abuses were
recognized. Asked why he didn't
sponsor legislation when he
was a member of the House of
Delegates prior to 1858, Mr..
Brewster said he "truthfully
wasn't aware Of the problem. -
Debates Proposed
The third Democratic sena-
torial candidate, Ebert. M.
Byrd, jr., a professor of govern
ment at the University of
Maryland, challenged Mr.. Lee
and Mr.. Brewster to a series of
debates on the issues to help
the voters tell the difference
between the candidates.
Noting that his opponents
were connected with tickets
that appear likely to spend
hundreds of thousands of dol
lars, Mr.. Byrd said he was
dressed in a suit bought from
a chain store on credit, had a
81 bill in his wallet, a few
campaign buttons in his pocket
and a donkey" handkerchief
donated by a friend.
All three senatorial candi-
dates backed several pro-
grams requested by President
Kennedy, leading Congress-at-
large candidate Carlton r.
Sickles, also a Kennedy sup
porter, to observe, "We're all
riding that Kennedy boat right
down to the edge."
David Hume, Democratic
candidate for Governor, took
issue with a statement Gov.
Tawes has made several times
that politics is the art of the
possible" Mr.. Hume said this
ranks with things like "crime
doesn't pay" or with the phi
losophy of the man who climbs
a mountain "just because it's
there"
Sees ''New Concept"
Mr.. Hume said he sees a
new concept" of politics
emerging in which the people
recognize that government is
more than the sum total of
individual, personal, immedi-
ate gain"
Mr.. Sickles said he supported
President Kennedy's foreign
trade bill, medical care for the
aged and Federal aid to educa-
ton.
John Douglas, another Con-
gress-at-large candidate, said
he was concerned with getting
qualified candidates who could
vote intelligently on national
budgets, particularly defense
spending, which totals SO per
cent of the budget.

Bookkeeper Tells Of Checks
BY Mutual Security Officers

maintained - were they in
agreement with the separate
and individual accounts main
tanned by the seven branches
as far as depositors' (savers)
accounts were concerned?
A.-No, sir.
Q.-Why were they not in
agreement?
A.-There were dividends on
the various branches and yet
they were never reflected in
the worksheets. That is one ex-
planation. There also was a
carry-over from a previous saw
ings account, both belonging to
National Security and Con-
gressional. that are not re-
flected in the figures any place;
therefore, they do not agree.
(National Security Savings
and Loan Association, founded
in 1855, changed its name to
Mutual Security in 1859. It
later merged with another
association. Transcontinental
Building. and Loan, with Mu-
tual Security as the surviving
firm.)
Q.-Were there any instances
that occurred in your presence
that seemed to indicate that
either an employe or employer
Withdrew cash, or other
wise took money received by
Mutual Security in the normal
course of its business?
A.-There were, in going over
the daily record sheets, there
were numerous cases of obvious
errors that were never cor
rected. I would bring them to
Mr.. Gilbert's (the controller)
attention, and if they were of
very high value we would try
to get to the bottom of them.
However, most of them were
unexplainable and never cor
rected-amounts from $3.50 to
$2,700.
Q.-Was it possible for (the
officers) to prepare a Mutual
Security check and exchange
it at any branch office for
cash?
Ayes, it was possible, until
September, 1861, when sud-
denly they stopped the officers
from cashing checks.
(This was at a time when
the State was deep into Its
investigation of various savings
and loan firms.)
(Which officer did cash a
check?
A.-Mr. Peisner.
Q.-In the hundreds or thou
sands?
AIN the thousands.
One man connected with the
firm, she said, took out a
"DaSSh00k lOan" for S5n nm m
September 13, 1861. There was
no check written to him, how
ever, nor had a deposit been
made, she said. It was not ex-
planned further, other than "it
could have been an entire paper
transaction"
No formal books were kept
for Wayne or Kentland, either,
she said.

BY PAUL HOPE
Star Staff Writer

Representative Daniel Brew
ster, candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for the
United States Senate, was
questioned last night about his
connection with Baltimo or e
County politicians involved in
the Maryland savings and loan
business.
Appearing with his opponents
for the first time in the
suburban Washington area, Mr..
Brewster admitted political ties
with State delegates and other
Baltimore County party leaders
involved but said he had
absolutely no connection with
any savings and loan business.
Mr.. Brewster's law partner,
A. Gordon Boone, a State dele
gate, and several others in the
dominant Democratic faction in
Baltimore County were officials
Of Security Financial Insur-
ance Corp. which was in the
thick of the savings and loan
fight at the last session of the
General Assembly.
Mr.. Brewster told his audi
ence at the Misunderstanding
ton Democratic Club that he
was never connected with
it (Security FinanciaD in any
way whatsoever" and that he
had never had any clients who
were involved in any savings
and loan businesses.
At Odds With Lee
He and Blair Lee III of
Montgomery, who also is seek
ing the senatorial nomination,
were at odds on the role Of the
TaYes administration on the
savings and loan issue.
Mr.. Lee, a State delegate,
blamed the Tawes administra-
ton for much of the present
scandal because Gov. Tawes
failed to support legislation
sooner to control the savings
and loan industry. He also
criticized the Governor for
vetoing stop gap legislation
passed in 1860.
Mr.. Lee said the action Of
Gov. Tawes on the savings and
loan issue reflects the Tawes
administration and its inability
to deal with a problem in its
incipient phase and before it's
a total disaster"
Mr.. Lee said the 1860 bill
was not a weak and meaning
less thing" as Gov. Tawes has
said in defense of his veto.
Besides, he said, 'if there had
been any interest by the ad-
ministration, there could have
been more teeth put into it."
Cites Vote on Bill
He said the State delegates
from Somerset County (Gov.
TaweS' home area) voted
against the 1860 bill "and
that's always the tip-off Con
the administrators position) :"
Mr.. Brewster praised Gov.
