DELEGATE INCURS WRATH
OF WIVES IN STAMP BATTLE

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Murray Abramson of Bau-
more, who wants to outlaw trading stamps believes the
move has made him the most unpopular delegate in his
district.
Everywhere go, women ask me why want to do
such dreadful thing" he said
Mr.. Abramson said he sponsored the anti stamp bill
at the request Of small businessmen Baltimores 4th
district They feel the stamps give large chain stores an
unfair advantage the small merchant, he said.
The lawmaker also said he wants to find out what
happens to stamps not redeemed for merchandise which
is promised in the trading stamp catalogues.
Someone is paying a premium price for those
stamps" he said.
The bill is assigned to the House Ways and Means
Committee, and public hearings probably will be held

A year earlier. the same
maximum security institution
at Marion turned the youth
over to Fairfax after determin-
ing he was sane in connection
with another case.
The Goldfein youth was shot
to death last September / after
he set up his telescope in the
front yard of the Goldfein
home at 1917 Jefferson avenue,
Falls Church, to study the
stars.
On September 4, Fairfax

ern State Hospital for mental
examination.
His first stay in a Virginia
mental institution had been in
1861, when his father had him
sent to Eastern State Hospital
at Williamsburg, Va.
Police said he ran away from
the institution, and was ar
rested in York County on
charges Of kidnapping. armed
robbery and auto theft. He
was then sent to Marion for
observation before standing
trial on the York County
charges.
Doctors reported he was not
pyschotic, and in February,
1862, Vinson returned to Fair
fax County-to his home on
East Rosemary lane, only a
short walk from the Goldfein
home. He was never tried on
the York County charges.
Somehow, officials later ex-
planned, Wilson'S records failed
to keep up with him.
Presumably, his trial date in
the Goldfein death will be set
Monday, opening day Of the
March term in Fairfax Circuit
Court.

Norfolk Girl
DisdppedrsOn
BabysittingJOb

NORFOLK, Va, Mar. 5 (AP)
"A young girl was missing to-
day after riding off with mar
who obtained her services as a
baby sitter from a sign she had
posted in a neighborhood self
service laundry.
Gwendolyn Contance Pad
gett, IA, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. M. Padgett, was re-
ported missing to Norfolk po-
lice today when she failed to
return home from the baby sit
ting assignment
The last person to see her
was her brother, Major, II, who
walked with her from their
home to the laundry to meet
the prospective baby sitting
employer.
Gwendolyn had placed a baby
sitting advertisement on the
bulletin board of the laundry
and this was her first response.
She received a call Monday
night about 1880 from a man
who said he'd meet her at the
laundry at 8 o'clock to take her
on baby sitting job.
Man Fails TO Show
Mr.. Padgett drove his daugh-
ter to the laundry where they
waited until about 900 but the
man didn't show up and they
returned home. A few minutes
later the man called again. He
said he had automobile trouble,
but would meet Gwendolyn
again at the laundry in five
minutes.
Major and Gwendolyn left
home and walked to the laun-
dry.
I'VE waited inside for about
S minutes before he came in"
Major said. He had been told
how Connie would be dressed.
He came over to us and said he
was ready.
Il understood he was sup
posed to be going out for the
evening to visit friends" Mayor
said. "The way he was dressed
looked crazy for the occasion.
He had on a white T-shirt and
light blue pants. He said he
would have her home between
IL and 1890"
Description of Car
AS they drove away Major
saw the car and gave the de-
scription today to police. The
car, a 1860 black Chevrolet, was
believed by police to have been
the one stolen between 1880
and 9:15 pm. from a Bayview
boulevard location.
The car was found at 1890
am. today abandoned in a
grocery store parking lot about
four blocks from the laundry.
Police said nothing was found
in the car and a search was
started for fingerprints.

8. What to do in case Of emergency on q
highway. IF you have FIAT tire, or if some
thing mysterious goes wrong with your car,
pull all the way off the road. Raise the hood.
Tie a handkerchief-or something white-on
the door-handle nearest the road. These are
distress signals on virtually all rOadways.
Stay near your car but back from the road.
Most roadways are well patrOlled and you
should have assistance before long.
IS. 1t doesn't hurt to look little helpless.
9. How to cut the chances Of breakdown
almost In half. The American Automobile
Association reports that fiat tires, weak bat
teries, and faulty electrical systems account
for IS percent Of all car breakdowns.
Your Shell dealer can help you keep these
things from causing trouble Let him check
your car regularly. After all, service is his
business.

What every woman
who ever drives alone should
know about her car

very slowly. That's OK. Don't worry about it,
But, if the light comes on at normal driv-
ing speeds-or # the needle in the gauge
suddenly drops way dOwn-yoH're getting
a warning. Low oil pressure can be ex-
tremely serious. Fact is, u can lead to
major engine damage in short order.
Have your engine checked Immediately.
4. In lightning storm, your car Is actually
one Of the safest places you can be. So don't
be terrified if there's lightning all around you.
When the rain starts to fall, slow down and
proceed with care.
IF the rain Pours down so hard that you
can't see well, pull all the way off the road
and wait until the storm lets up. Note: if you
must stop, don't park under tree or on sur
face that could bog you down.
5. An important warning that your brakes
can give yOu-and what to do about it.When
your car is standing still, push down on your
brake pedal. Does the pedal feel "mushy" or
sink slowly to the aOorboarda If so, there's
trouble in your cars hydraulic braking sys-
TEN. Could be treacherous. When you really
need your brakes, you may have no stopping
power at all. See your Shell dealer right away.
6. How to avoid being locked out. Tape an
extra car key on some secret place outside
your car. 1t must be reachable-even if all
your doors are locked.
Another tip to save you fuss and bother:
carry some dimes in sealed envelope in your
glove compartment They could come in
handy-for use in roadside pay telephone
should your car decide to act up.
2. What to do n the radiator boiIs over. A
steaming radiator isn't cause for great alarm.
But your engine has lost quite bit Of water
and that's not good for it. The important
thing is to stay calm. Pull well off the road.
Switch off the engine. Open the hood.

ITERE ARE some motoring tips and hints for
i i our lady customers only. The informa-
ton isn't technical. But its important infor-
nation that could save you time and trouble.
/. What to do II your car won't start. First,
check the obvious. Do you have fuels Qf you
have run out, don't feel too bad-over 5000
motorists do it every day.
If you have an automatic transmission, is
the gear selectOr lever at exactly the right
spot1 Check-and make sure.
Next, turn off your lights, radio, heater fan
everything electrical. This takes the strain
of your battery.
It's also good idea to push the accelerator
pedal all the way down-and release quickly
Just before you attempt to start.
Now, try the starter again in bursts Of 2 or
seconds. Still no gos Let your engine rest
for three or four minutes. Try once more
this time with slightly longer bursts. If your
engine still balks, give your Shell dealer call.
2. How to recognize carburetOr icing stalls
plus tip that may help you prevent them.
This ever happened to you on damp, chilly
dayI Your car starts promptly. You drive a
short distance to the FIRST stop sign-and you
STALL You have no trouble restarting. But,
at the next intersection, you stop-and stall
again. Then, those embarrassing stalls disap-
pear-just as mysteriously as they came on.
That's typical case of carbmetOr icing.
If your car has this trouble, try Super Shell
gasoline. One Of its 9 working ingredients is
an anti-icer. Its job is to fight carburetor icing
stalls.
>. How your oil gauge can help you avoid
serious trouble. The oil gauge shows the
pressure at which oil is being pumped through
your engine.
II your car does not have gauge, it has
light that goes on when oil pressure is low.
This light may glow when the engine is idling

Britain Agrees
On A-FOrce

LONDON, Mar. IS (AP)-
The United States and Britain
adopted q common policy today
for providing the North At
lantic Alliance with q strategic
nuclear force.
They agreed to press ahead
simultaneously with two ideas:
/. The American plan for q
Polaris armed surface fleet
manned by mixed crews from
the various Atlantic treaty
countries.
2. The British plan to assign
some existing national nuclear
forces. like Britain's bombers.
to the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization command. which
would arrange such things as
target selection.
This compromise decision
came after two days Of con-
situations between Livingston
Merchant. President Kennedy's
special envoy, and leading
British figures including Prime
Minister Macmillan and Foreign
Secretary Lord Home.
A communicate issued after
the talks expressed Britain's
continuing support for the
American idea and the United
States Governments backing
for the British concept.
Both have the same ultimate
goal: To satisfy the NATO
allies request for more say In
nuclear matters while discour-
aging the spread Of independent
nuclear deterrents.
In particular, Washington
and London hope this arrange
ment will persuade the West
Germans not 10 seek their own
nuclear weapons.

Soviet Rejects
Reduced U. 5.
A-Test Plan

GENEVA, Mar. IS (AP).-
Offering a concession TO the
Russians, the United States
substantially reduced today the
area each on-site inspection
would cover to police a ban on
underground nuclear tests.
The Russians promptly
brushed the plan aside. calling
It an attempt to t'sabotage the
discussion Of q test ban by
bringing up technical matters"
BY getting into technicalities,
Soviet Delegate Semyon K. Tsa-
napkin said. I'VE may talk for
another 10 years."
United States Ambassador
Charles c. Steele put before the
17-nation disarmament con-
ference the first detailed West
ern plan for inspection proce-
dures.
The plan provides that any
on-site inspection would cover
a maximum Of 500 square kilo-
meters (103 square miles) :.
( Previously the United States
had demanded inspection Of an
area Of 700 to 800 square kilo-
meters CATO to 308 square
miles, TO determine whether o.
suspicious underground dis
turbance was an earthquake or
q banned nuclear explosion.
Reviewed Problems
"a careful review Of the
scientific problems concerned
in determining the location Of
an epicenter"-the center Of
the disturbance-led the United
States to offer the reduced in
spection area, Mr.. STEELE said.
Mr.. STEELE told the confer
ence the Soviet Union was
given advance notice Of the
detailed proposal in the hope
Of obtaining some Russian
response.
The test ban talks are dead
locked by the Soviet refusal to
discuss any inspection pro-
cedures until the West accepts
the Russian offer of an an
nual maximum Of three on-site
inspections.
Mr.. Steele said the American
suggestions were worked out
on the assumption that there
would be seven inspections a
year on the territory Of each
Of the nuclear powers.
II Allied Inspectors
Inspection teams In Russia
would include at least IA Amer
lean and British nationals with
additional team m e m b ers
drawn from neutral nations.
The Russians could accom-
pany the team with an equal
number Of Soviet observers.
Inspections in the United
States and Britain would be
carried out by at least IA Rus
slams and additional neutral
technicians.
Each nation could exclude
sensitive defense installations"
from areas subject to inspec-
ton, Mr.. Steele said. But any
abuse OF this provision would
be considered grounds on which
treaty withdrawal could take
place"
This meant that If the Soviet
Union consistently refused In
spections on the grounds that
they would touch defense in
stallations, the United States
and Britain could regard them
selves as no longer bound by
the treaty and could resume
nuclear testing.
